Just full of snarky, trolling manchildren on a board run by snarky, trolling manchildren.
You can have the most poignant, thought provoking, and conversationally stimulating topic in the world, but you'll always get replies in this arena:
"Why is there a thread about this?"
"Cool story bro"
"Lock this thread"
or something else equally facetious or condescending.....and you'll get modded too if you reply to it.
Is Gamespot's OT the most inhospitable board on a gaming site?
This topic is locked from further discussion.
This is where everyone starts ironically mimicing the examples of responses you gave.
Because any thread dedicated to whining about something will always end up like that
Some people call it "whining"...I call it venting.
And mimicking is just showing how shallow a lot of peoples' sense of humor is. Though I'm sure they are having a good laugh about how original and inventive they are...lol.
Sounds like you just described 80% of the threads on this site.
All internet forums are shitty. The entire internet is full of shit. It's just a matter of how much shit you're willing to tolerate.
@GreyCommander: That is a better way to put it, so sure.
Anyhow, no one is going to take some unknown users word for being the one unfairly treated, rather than being the one who acted stupid, and got a fair backlash. You'll just set yourself up for more ridicule.
If you need to vent, go out and punch some trees instead.
Wait, GameSpot is better than Giant Bomb at being snarky assholes? This is something unforgivable. Something that must be corrected. Giant Bomb was designed to be better than GameSpot in every single way. This must happen. We need to make the proper changes to make GB better, even if that means making it worse.
GameSpot OT had some pretty amazing threads back in the day. I mean, without that board "touch her shoulder" would not exist!
