Giant Bomb's forums is like an Un-Organised Sandwich

Wow, I just saw another mod. That's three I've seen today! :shock:msudude211

are you like some Gamespot fanboy? lol i really like the giantbomb forums, their very good, not so annoying and childish people on there. like for instance, you dont have nearly as many annoying fighting about system wars crap and everyone is pretty respectful despite the fact that there is little to no modding at all. and its fun being able to help build the site as well. and i also totally disagree that its an unorganized forum, i think its very well organized. obviously you never went any further than the forum front page (which just shows ALL the latest hot threads on the entire forum), and if it confused you that much, well that says a little something about your level of intelligence now doesnt it?ronniepage588

Surely you're joking? I've seen so many threads with people having orgasms because they're allowed to swear, the sexy girl thread is the biggest thread on there, and some of the other threads are the sort of stuff you'd expect to see on 4c han

someone needs to post what gamespot looked like in 1997

:lol: it was so bad it was funny

andyboiii

I don't think a site in 1997 should be compared to a site in 2008.

Wow, I got on GS mobile beta and it looks alot like that just without the pictures. If they spruce the image up i might join.

well, its easier to post there, theres more freedom, the profiles are awesome...

its 100% giant bomb quality

D: better than here IMO

I post on both at the same time8)

I'm not really digging the look of GBs forums, but I'll get used to it

I left the forums the day after I got there. It was horrible. THe forum system is weird, but the thing that ticked me off was the posters. So childish and immature.

After seeing like 50 GS bashing threads, it then turned into "Official Swearing threads" So childish.

The site is good though.

[QUOTE="btaylor2404"]Yeah, I stopped by for just a second and left pretty quickly. Boards had no rhyme or reason.Zaeryn

lololol.

They seem pretty structured to me. You just click the forum you want on the left, does it get any harder than that?lucas_kelly

You can't even go into your post history and see if those threads have more posts in, you have to manually go through every thread you've posted in to see if anyone said anything, that sucks

I love your sig! I have the 'this is a Mumopurger!' bit in mine 8)

Agreed, it's terribly structured.

Wow, I was surprised at how mature the posters were originally being without mods... too bad it ended up this way.

I love it how it's not even up for a week, it's in beta stage and GS users whine "it's not well structured oh noesz!!".

>__> Way to go.

Well it's not well structured. Surely they should have done something about that before they put the site up to the public? And you can't deny the fact that the forums are a lot like *cough* the site we won't name due to the lack of mods.

exactly, I love gamespot forums, they are so well structured.Tobio19

Elegant, user-friendly, well-moderated, well structured as you said, and well populated. That sandwich is the whole website Giant Bomb in a nutshell...

Great job man.

[QUOTE="btaylor2404"]Yeah, I stopped by for just a second and left pretty quickly. Boards had no rhyme or reason.Zaeryn

I did the same. I'm sure many people have done that particular thing and just came back to home sweet home.. The GS Forums.

Bit of a mess really...and most of the threads are threads that are here.LJS9502_basic

Exactly... But 'bit of a mess' is an understatement.

That is true. I mean, you could say that Jeff and co. don't want to be tearing all of GS's features and placing them in a new website, but the forums and generally the whole structure reeks of disorganization.

I mean, they have the expertise, why open a substandard website when you know very well that it is in a shambles? Please don't throw the "Its in Beta stage" card at me. Its a poor one.

well, its easier to post there, theres more freedom, the profiles are awesome...

its 100% giant bomb quality

My site activity got deleted after a day. I was going to pop in and see something but it was gone :?

GB tries so hard to be cool and clever. They have a whole forum dedicated to hamburgers. 'Nuff said.

I went on, looked for porn threads but found only the sexy girl thread started by caseywegner (lol) and then I checked out a guys profile and saw a lot of scat images, and quickly and quietly closed the window.freek666
