This forum has become crap.

Anyone else remember when this forum was good and informative? Now it's nothing but repeat topics, trolls, and annoying text talk.
The text talk is the most annoying. Why post a comment of "lmoa" or "lol" and nothing more? Are you stupid, 14, or just trying to boost your post count?

No wonder the best forum members left. Indy I'm looking at you!

Edit: let the trolling begin!

Agree

I not long joined here, but I must say that the amount of trolls visiting this forums is astounding.

I haven't seen this many trolls on any other board on the internet.

It's really quite astonishing.

Ok it's not just me!

I'm a member of several forums and this one has by far the most trolls. Even the mods make troll posts!

It'll calm down after the holidays.

Yeah, I'm a member of about 15-20 forums (and a moderator on 1 of them) and this is the worst forum I've seen for trolling.

Have to agree. Besides the trolls, the 47 different threads asking the same questions or covering the same topic is annoying.

The forums always turn into a steaming pile of human excrement during big events. Just wait until the event's over, the forums will return to normalcy.

Clearly, none of you are on any sports boards. This forum is tame compared to most others I'm on.

I hope so, but the problem is then there will be another event or the speculation thereof.

The forum has a problem when the most popular threads are started by a troll - Josh. I admit, I found his threads funny a few months ago, but now they are just a repeat for every single new thing. Not funny anymore. I am finally realizing that the game was mentioning him ironically in that he thinks he is cool and funny, but really he is just lame like all the other trolls that occupy this forum.

I actually find the lame/off topic banter to be the most annoying. A "Goodnight" thread, come on. I'm a member of some music and sports sites, and at least the trolling is funny and the posters aren't so uptight and sensitive, a lot of posters here had to have been the type to get bullied as kids....,and cry about it.

I have duplicated a topic. This forum has a horrible search function. I always look before starting a new thread (in any forum) but this one is a pain to find something in.

I agree with you about people posting one word responses. It doesn't offer anything to further the discussion. Don't forget about people responding with random memes/.gifs that half of the time aren't even funny/clever...And then we have everyone responding "oh that .gif is so great", which makes everything go off topic.

The other reason this forum has gone downhill is because everyone cries any time Josh trolls the boards. At least he has some valid points and discusses his complaints about the game. Here is some advice to everybody: If you don't like Josh, don't read his threads. And if you disagree with his points, why not say why you disagree? Arguing and saying how big of a troll he is doesn't help.

Haha I agree! A bunch of beaten nerds that want to seem like tough guys. Too bad all it does is make you look like a **** and ruin the forum to the point where actual contributing members leave.

What's a gif?

llazzarr · December 18, 2013 8:50PM

Mental lapse...I was thinking memes

The gifs are the worst! Half the time they don't even make sense and are just the cool new gif the poster found and is straining for a reason to use!

I am all for posts about your complaints about the game. The problem with josh is that it is entirely predictable so loses the validity of the complaint. For example, the Wheel was a complaint for a lot of people. Josh (and 50 other people) made complaint threads. However, since josh is a troll, most of the replies were about him being a troll rather than actual complaints about the wheel. The other 50 threads got only a couple replies, although most were on topic and worthy of discussion. Too bad the troll ruined that, too.

Neighbor...what is a gif?

darthraven0 · December 18, 2013 9:07PM

A gif is the little moving pics that people post very often on here.

suekistargaz · December 18, 2013 9:11PM

How about a little patience in regards to "repetitive posts?" I am a newer poster here but at least I always try to look around and search for other posts that might reflect the problem I might be experiencing. This forum is for everyone to come and find some tips, including newer players. Some of you are indeed far ahead of the curve but you might forget that to a lot of us this is all "new." What seems boring and repetitive to some of you is definitely not the case for me and some people have been very helpful to newer players with some questions here. The rest seem to just complain that posts are not as original and informative as they would want them to be. How about instead of complaining just help some misguided people out?

It does not take much to share some positivity with other people. I notice that far too many are too ready, willing and able to be as snarky as often as possible. THAT is annoying. Not some posts that might seem repetitive.
