Bitmob did a very interesting project on how many positive and negative opinions were expressed by different E3 announcements. The graphs are below.

I've been permabanned there many many times, heh. Usually because I disagreed with a mod about how good a certain game was."@Diamond said:Did they ban you? "" lol oh NeoGAFseriously, who gives a shit what those idiots think? "
But seriously, it's an awful forum. Worst place on the net for games discussion, /v/ has more civil discussion even. There's a place with nazi mods...

It's absolutely about NeoGAF, and you wouldn't want to know more about them.

So, it's just a bunch of kids arguing then? I'm suprised that such a site would have enough name recognition to get those kind of users.

Adults acting like kids. It's more about how poorly the forum is moderated. They have a lot of 4chan wannabees there. The mods like to stir up trolling. Reasonable users are banned for trivial things, trolls are endorsed by the staff. Mods often have puppet accounts to stir up trouble.So, it's just a bunch of kids arguing then?

It's actually much worse in the last few months than it even was a year or two ago. Check out nearly any thread over there now and it's extremely nasty stuff, just constantly.
