Why all other forums suck.

Sir Degrader · 02-19-2005, 08:32 PM

Here is why pretty much all others suck compared to IW.

1) Size of threads. The bigger ones have 3+ pages. That is WAY to much to read and then post. Alternatively, the smaller ones have very few answers.

2) Jackassness factor. In IW we have mods. Good mods. So whenever someone who likes to tyranize others does, Cloud or Z (or someone else) comes around and choinates them. Also, most of us aren't drooling fanboys who refuse to see any other points of argument.

3) Choc. 'Nuff said.

4) We have differing opinions. Go to the KMC forums and say you like Bush. Wow.

5) The fact that I can post a fight involving a celestial being again a movie boxer. And have the thread reach 2 pages. Again, I did that at KMC and nearly got banned.

Well I agree, IWs is the best, was my first forum, and still remains my favorite [img]smile.gif[/img]

What is KMC?

Oh come on, there's plenty of other good forums around. If there's any bad stuff going on, i find that out soon enough, and i won't go back there, but that only happened a few times. I do agree that non of the other boards have the same feel as IW, but that doesn't mean they are crap.

IW was my first, and I only signed up to one other. I did just a minute ago sign up to an AvP clan forum, so I have to check that out for any comparison. I have visited other forums though and IW seems to be the most comfortable.

Ironworks is one of the greatest, I'll give you that. Some of the other larger ones I go to either have lots of flaming between members (a hockey forum) or is just massive and takes too long to load (simcity forum). I wouldn't call all others crap though. There are many pleasant forums that I visit daily and still enjoy them. Ironworks does have a certain feel to it, that none others seem to have, though.

My first forum was BGDungeon and some of the homies

from there are still here with me now. That was cool, and a great shame it shut down, though there was more beef there. Then I transferred my home-base to Elysium, but also registered here so that I wouldn't be a newbie when (as I knew it would) this board balloned in member numbers.

After 6 months or so, the Elysium had to be restarted a few times due to server and other problems (where all posts and members were deleted so we had to start again). After the 2nd restart, I couldn't be bothered anymore, so moved home to here. Then we had a board with Mel and Groj, but poor server performance killed that off, so my home is back here now, and wherever I go, whatever I do, I'll prob always check back in here. I remember it took a while to get used to the fuzzy, goodie goodie atmosphere here,

but it's all good in the end.

LOL I remember the days when i checked out Pandemonium every day, being the only one there and having to wait 2 minutes for a thread to finally open up so i could read it quickly killed the fun though. Too bad, that was quite a good board too. I still see some of the old members from there on UFR.

Ladyzekke · 02-19-2005, 09:38 PM

Well I have to add that yes, I go to other forums as well, and they don't suck, just IWs is my favorite. [img]smile.gif[/img] I go to 3 other forums, one being a private one, and they all are unique and I never see any flaming or nastiness towards eachother on them. There are definitely some forums I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole though no doubt LOL.

Q'alooaith · 02-19-2005, 09:40 PM

Hmmm, I'd not say it's the best..

It's one of the more consistant forums, and the moderations not totaly tyranical like some places..

Currently it's good, but other places are better for diffrent things, if I wanna talk shop about games I head elsewhere, IW's is good but it's limited in that you don't get people from some groups comming in here.

Ah, good old Pandemonium. That place was killer for loading times. [img]tongue.gif[/img] If only it could have stayed up, I enjoyed it as well.
