That they took so much time and effort to make a haven for gamers to come together and talk about Baldurs Gate, only to have it crushed by a bunch of essentially losers with nasty mouths. Messed up..
Oh and nice to see you around Relic [img]smile.gif[/img]

I went and checked BGDungeon out after Mems told me about it. I was not impressed. There were maybe 5 decent posters and a mess of trolls and some members who treated the place like their own 'bash everyone' playground. Several were openly hostile to female members. I couldn't believe how much more mature and fun our own IW younger members were compared to those people. IW was definitely a more friendly site.
Since then, I've joined 6 or 7 sites, mostly gaming related and I have to say that not one of them holds a candle to IW. I never visit most of them these days and the few I do go to from time to time are pretty slow moving . Many of them tend to attract the sort of people who like to hurt others to make themselves feel better about their own lives or out of sheer boredom. A small number of people post and the few newbies who join see a place where it's ok to pick on someone mercilessly and take pleasure in belittling others. Not really a pleasant way to spend one's free time! [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Give me Ironworks at it's worst, over the others, any day! It's head and shoulders above them all.
