Please help me find another forum/online community.
- Thread starter LilithSlave
- Start date
Lilith I know I'm late to the party but I think that some of the posts in this thread are pretty accurate, though a bit aggressive. I just checked out the touhou thread and the entire OP seems really desperate and confrontational. You seem to not like the community here because most don't like type of games you like. However you could have chosen something like a thread asking if anybody had heard of touhou and creating a potential usergroup.
It isn't the content but the execution.

Then you'd best want to avoid the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.Soviet Heavy said:
Now where were we? Oh right... Lilith, calm down and have sandwich.
Lilith, nobody has an issue with the games you like, you're free to love the games you love, nobody is holding that against you.
It's the way you present your opinion that others have a problem with.
'Have any of you guys heard of Tohou? I love it, and I'd like to share it with you.' is a lot more friendly than:
'I love Touhou, and anyone who doesn't obviously has terrible taste.'
I might not agree with the way you present those views, but it would still be a shame to see you go.

Oh, I see the problem.
90% or more of those games you listed are Japanese.
Now, before you (or someone else) tear me apart, I'm not hating on Japanese games. It's just that this forum tends to lean to the west. So, given your preferences and manner, disagreements were bound to occur.
As for other forums... no idea. This is the only one I post on with any frequency.

You could try this one, I guess. It has Touhou sub-section, so it's sorta what you're looking for.
Anyways, see ya in a few days.

I am also one of this people. I'm honestly a little confused as to why your threads rustle so many jimmies. Dudes here can sometimes be a little thin-skinned when encountering difference of opinion, maybe.overpuce said:
Seriously? You wonder why you don't fit in when you make threads like this? Have you never heard of Google? You should try it sometime, just put in Gaming forum, or gaming community and I;m sure you'll find plenty of hits.
If you want a community where people appreciate you arguing with them vehemtnly, I would reccomend you try 4chan. Might be your kind of place.

Dont go You just need to calm down a bit yes we hadnt heard of touhou But now you have the change to introduce us to the games that you love just need to do it in a calmer manor
I would have recommended the GameFAQs boards since they have a big community like the Escapist but...
1. Some boards are flat out dead
2. The mods are retards sometimes. I have stories.
3. Some of the community there is filled with retards and trolls. Case in point, The Halo 4 board. (*WAHHHH* Call of Duty!!! *WAAHHHH*)
It's really hard to find a good gaming community to join these days. If you find a good one, please let me know.

I'd imagine you'll have a hard time finding a more userfriendly forum then this one.
Your attitude is often blaming others being wrong for having a opinion different then yours. Also, we don't hate you for that.
The threads you make aren't about what you love, but about how we don't love what you do.
My advice, make a usergroup dedicated to the stuff you love.

You two are the highlight of this thread.Soviet Heavy said:
OT: This seems like a classic melodramatic "Pay attention to me or I'm leaving/goodbye" thread. It seems to me you need to just ignore people. Not everyone agrees with everyone and you'll never find a perfect forum utopia.
Don't go, if you like it here then don't go BUT don't go around and change your tastes in games because you think you don't fit in. It makes you stand out of the whole bunch and besides, im pretty sure that a lot of people here don't like Jrpgs or Nintendo games just because Yathzee hates them and they consider him some kind of god and are willing to agree to anything he says.
I really don't think that people HATE you for the games you like (that's quite a funny thing to think about actually)
here's a situation with Guy 1 and Guy 2
Guy 1:HAAAA i love nintendo games & JRPG !
Guy 2:*Guy looks at other guy funny*
Guy 1: What ?
Guy 2: You like Nintendo games and JRPGS ? Pfff they always recycle their own franchise...duh...and JRPGS are always about people who fight Satan.
Guy 1: So what ? Nintendo characters are a HUGE part of gaming culture and they are ALWAYS fun it's what gaming is all about right ? JRPGS are influenced a lot by japanese culture so it's just...normal that their own culture reflects on their games.
Guy 2: Yeah but Yathzee said that they were shit...
Guy 1: Did you play Mario Galaxy 2 and Valkyria Chronicles ? You don't have to eat up everything he says you can just try them !
Guy 2: I HATE YOU, I HATE YOU I WILL KILL YOU AND YOUR WHOLE FUCKING FAMILY !!!!!!!!
See ? To say that people HATE you for your taste is kind of ridiculous...don't take this place so seriously

not to sound like a sucker or anything, but if I knew you IRL I'd probably hug you.
we don't hate you, heck, I'd probably miss you if you left, the forum would just not be the same.
nevermind the gender-war threats you are always somehow part of, or the obscurity of the games you recommend, I always discover something new whenever you mention those games, sometimes losing an entire afternoon googling them up and reading up on 'em.
chin up, you are just as much part of this forum as I am, as we all are.

I know it's been said before, but you're not notorious, The Escapist doesn't hate you, yes you are being melodramatic, stick with threads that are about the stuff you like and you'd probably be better off just staying here.
I just love how only one, maybe two people here have actually responded to the OP, though I do think it's a bit strange and provoking to ask the community that you're leaving to recommend you a new community. Who am I to judge others though, people can be a bit (or alot) cutthroat around here, and from what I've seen, which isn't much, there are very few threads that are centered around gushing about a specific show or topic, that are well received, so I can understand that this isn't the place for everybody. /lecture-rant
Anyways, one online community that I like is Vizzed(dot)com. It is a site with tons of retro games up to the GBA and Nintento 64 that can be accessed via the website. Has a nice group of forums as well. The people there are generally pretty nice, and I rarely, if at all, see idiotic fanboys/girls there with ridiculous opinions and such. Forum also had a no swearing rule, which in a way, I kind of like, because it requires you to put a bit more thought into your posts, and you won't see any mindless cursing matches on threads to see whose the more mature 12 year old boy. It is somewhat of a Christian site though, just putting that out there. But if you're not into that, it's really only confined to discussion in one of the many forums on the site, and sometimes you'll see ads for bibles games via ad banners. They don't have the latest threads feed like they do here, so you may have to search a bit or make your own thread, and people might not respond as quickly as you like, but all in all, it is a pretty good community. Also has multiple chatrooms so even if you aren't in the forums, you can still talk to people. And of course, the thousands of games is a nice bonus.
