This has probably been posted often enough, but what is going on here? I see soo many comments getting thrown at each other just containing insults. People not even trying to submit decent stories/reviews.

I haven't been here in a month but coming back I was really shocked at what happening. It looks like it's getting out of hand. I hope it gets sorted as this is a site with potential.

This place has always been "out of hand". I guess you are just now seeing it, 'tard!

It gets especially rampant as big games come out, this time being MGS4. Fanboys on the mainsite(we get some stuff here too but not nearly as bad) get so worked up over this stuff its sad.

Let me set the record. If you're talking about news comments, then yeah flaming goes on there only to reveal the occasional gem cache of good writing and debate.

As for the forums, well you find a Turd Blossom once in a while, but the general picture is just a turd. People in the forums care less about other people than they do about making the next great flaming debate and insult to someone else. Yeah a lot of it is fratboy joking, but to a relatively new member, it's all hell. You'll get used to it and find you'll be making comments in jest.

As for now if you have any problems PM Catastrophe, RUJoshin or Dukester101.

I don't think its to bad here. Sure somtimes people can get a bit rash, but its usually when they are really trying to get their point across in a debate, not as a personal attack for ****s and giggles. Also, like was mention above, some peole do come by every now and then to be a **** disturber, but they never last long around here, its usually a hit and run. The pople you will see on the fourms the most are great people.....even Cowgirl

In all my time here, I've never known it to be smooth sailing.


Actually I think there was a nice month where the numbers of fanatics on each side were equal, in effect, cancelling each other out.


However we have gone rather one sided again; as I’m sure you are well aware.

I think that's exactly what he means.

He's going to have to get used to it!

Weclome to n4g... I'd leave the forums while you still can, because it's not much better on this end of n4g.

We do have the power to make it better.

Hmm, when I can ban people, then i'll agree with that.

It depends on the topic.
