Its cute when they log into old alt accounts to make it look like someone agrees with them.
Spooky, do you ever even attempt to respond to what is said instead constantly resorting to mocking the poster? And for the record, I agree with the general principal of what he said. This board and most of the threads here, no matter how on topic they start, generally end up smelling like urinals with the incessant pissing contests to see who can be the biggest troll or jagg off.

Ah! So your alt account is amokscience69. Got it.
You, chadlick, and Arden should start a support group. Seriously.

If you think my opinion is idiotic, re-read yours.
Dont worry I will give my opinion anyways.
The PvP MMO is NOT a "niche" market, Mythic is just a "niche" company.

Frankly, I and most other visitors to this board are tired of the circle jerk of squabbling between the posters who apparently have nothing better to do than argue with one another about who is the biggest censored or whiner. I can count 4 posts in the last 3 pages which are on topic. And the last 4 interesting threads ended up exactly the same way.
The mods here have either given up or are part of the problem. It is EXACTLY why this board has died except for the inbreds who keep it alive by fighting.
I'll put that theory (the fighting part) to the test. In the meantime, you're the not first person to say the boards are 'dying' or words to that effect. To be honest, I haven't been around this board in recent times, not counting the last month or so, yet perhaps you are right.
If you have a suggestion, PM me another place where discussion is more civil and mature. Seriously, I'm all ears. As much as I enjoy VN, your point is valid and repeated in private.
No disrespect to my fellow posters, the moderators, and the owner(s), but the environment isn't conducive to civilized discussion. While I understand disagreements and arguments ensue with certain topics, this has become the norm.
And yes, I do understand when my peers state to ignore the trolls, give them no attention, etc., but this is akin to ignoring the elephant in the room.
The elephant with a bowel movement.
As always, just my humble opinion.

'Gamers' is a title too broad to categorize as civilized or uncivilized. There's a a hefty amount of both. Stop trying to label everybody and put that effort into some friendly joking conversation and you might make some friends who aren't just licking your boots.

What makes you think he doesn't already have friends who aren't "licking his boots"? That seems to me to be just a small variation of a favorite troll tactic around here. Accuse people of being alt accounts or of licking each other's boots if they don't agree with or speak up against the trolls on the board.

Clearly the mods like the "reality show" or "Jersey Shore" (never actually seen it, but I think I get the gist) atmosphere of these boards. Some people just love watching other people behave badly.
I'm more a fan of "House" and other shows that try to cater to both drama and intelligence, but to each his own.

I don't see any signs of this board dying. Sure it is not as alive as when the game was first released, but you are posting on a board dedicated to a 6 year old MMO. Why not try out some of the other MMO boards and see how well they are doing, pop over to the D&D online board and then come back and tell us this board is dying.
Furthermore, if you people are so upset about some of our posting habits, don't engage us in discussion. If it pains you so much to read through this threads, kindly don't.
What Arc was drying to say by having some friendly discussion, is also what a lot of us mean by telling you over sensitive posters to develop thicker skin if you are going to stick around. Its not to justify trolling, but as you can see there are many of us who have fun on these boards, we can have a debate, argument, ect and walk away with out hurt feelings.
Think I've never been flamed on these forums? Hell I've been around since AC's release, you should have seen the AC boards back in the day if you think this is bad. If you really can't take it, if it makes you so sad then don't participate.
Trust me, there will be plenty of us left over posting on this 'dead' board, we'll debate and argue and flame each other and the only difference will be there will be a lot less tears shed.

Why don't we try being more respectful of each other instead of having "who can be the biggest jerk" contests? I notice you say people should grow thicker skin but you don't say a word about how people should not go out of their way to be jerks. How thick a skin do you feel people should grow? The way I see it, the whole "grow thicker skin" attitude is just a way to excuse rude, juvenile behavior. Make it seem like those who take offense at rude behavior are the ones in the wrong, not the ones going out of their way to be jerks.
Let's say we grow thicker skin. Then what? Those posters determined to piss people off or start an argument just start acting worse to get the reaction they want. Where does it end? It IS possible to argue, debate, and have discussions without deliberately trying to anger people. For a certain handful of posters here, that seems to be their only purpose. See who can be the biggest ass and piss off the most people. Thicker skin isn't going to stop that.
