I'm a memeber of few forums, most of them are friendly, ie Gamespot OT, Swatcash. ButI signed up for Gametrailers forum few days ago and almost everyone is an idiot, I been to general discussion,most threads I read, there will be a bunch of trolls and idiots ruining the main topic.

IGN forums are very convoluted to navigate and their community is a lot smaller than it is on GS. I was there for one day and never came back.

Thank you. :] This community is a pretty big step up from the GT community, that's for sure. There were only 3 types of people there...the trolls, the wannabe mods and the traps. Sure you some people like that here as well, but the problem is bigger over there. XD GT seems to be the black sheep of the gaming communities.

Gaming wise, there's a small one that I won't name that I won't go to again. Like some of the old members from here, but there's no discussion, just non-stop dirty jokes like Jr. High. That's about it. I'd like to go to TFG's website more if I had the time. Other than that I don't go to any other gaming forums.

This. It's so horrible that the name invokes the wrath of the mod.

But I can get a laugh out of it sometimes.

You've just described that section in GT perfectly, I wouldn't waste my time by going there anymore if I were you. It seems to be the same 4-5 members who just interact in every thread be spamming. It's funny how the staff boast that they have over 700,000 members, I promise you that 90% of that figure are either trolls or banned users. If you do go back to GT then I suggest you put a few members on your ignore list, members such as Poop (yeah, great name huh?) and Keir, they will annoy you to no end.

The World of Warcraft forums. The off topic was pretty cool, it was thy-forum-thou-shalt-not-name lite. But everywhere else was constant whining and complaining. It was ridiculous.

This one forum called Free for all, on another website. Now the forum wasn't the central focus of the website at all, but god it was a terrible forum. Orginally it was good, a nice place for off-topic discussion kinda like OT but slightly less regulated. The lack of regulation would be it's down fall. Just 3 of the first 10 threads
A thread thread called o rly. Inside is ASCII art of an Orly owl
Another one called "i'm so wet right now". The thread message is about how he just got out of the shower (yes I get the joke, but it's still a pointless thread)
Another thread called. YES WE CAN! Inside simply says change we can believe in (and the thread was made today)
posts like 0 replies (what you say when you have the first post), snypah (what you say when you have the first post on a page), spottah (what you say when you have the lost post on the page), and others are perfectly acceptable

The worst thing is..it works, there was this one user, GraceHostage..everybody liked and respected her, she was even close to becoming a moderator until someone found out the truth. It's crazy to think people can actually do that..pretend to be someone they're not just to gain some attention. You're right, it's really sad, how desperate must they be to try something like that?

Some random White Supremist forum I came across, not because I was offended, but it was just all over the place and after a while it was almost like a parody of itself.

Nor me, but the reason given by GraceHostage (a trap that was found out) was that he felt more comfortable and confident being a female rather than being himself and dealing with his real self. The scary thing was he had made up such a detailed life about the woman he was pretending to be, how she had a husband and two kids, their names, ages, hobbies, sicknesses they had. I just feel sorry for the woman in the pictures he passed off as himself.

Ganeinformer forums are great because it has fantastic threads with interesting topics instead of constant graphics threads but it isn't active enough. I find 1up to have bad forums because there are like 2 or 3 posts a day where as there are many more community blogs and comments for articles. From what i have heard gametrailers have no redeeming qualities about it's forums and ign has forums that are harder to navigate than a maze.

I'd have to say the forums for any Blizzard game (both on their site and on sites like GS and IGN) are always horrible. They're filled with trolls, spammers, and general idiots to the point where you literally have to sift through shovel loads of garabage to find one meaingful post.

GameFAQs is pretty bad. Strangely, I used to use my GameSpot account to post on GameFAQs. I'm glad I found Off-Topic anyway. However, I've been on a worse forum on Facebook. It was a forum for atheists, agnostics, the non-religious and freethinkers, but most of them thought the same and they were all very rude to religious people and to me especially because of my views on abortion. I've had a very negative opinion of atheists and the like since because they're all radicals. The atheists at the Atheism Union are very nice though, save for a couple, but they no longer post there anymore.

I checked out Paramores forum, and by god, the people and set up of that forum is embarrassingly bad.
