    There are entire blocks of pages dedicated to slagging individual people off! I don't think its overstated at all. The mods - Hairy and DDevil/MrTom are just as bad as the rest. Then you get the background terriers like Lexx trying to fit in.
    shut up, moron

    First of all, it was one image.
    Secondly, it was clearly marked as NSFW.

    Why is this relevant?
    Why go on about it?

    Works both ways though MD. Imagine a Wii conversation without ecosse and higgins which could be balanced for once. Or a thread about Sony's next gen hardware which didn't become about the Cell demons in vizzini's head.
    Yeah, I understand that side of groups - that's positive discussion though, not 'come, let us sit apart and bitch about X' which is the sort of thing I suspect is not helpful =D Hardly restricted to one group, either.

    The whining isn't really overstated, there's a lot of it. The only time it's a problem is when it concentrates and spills out, but other times it works equally well as a venting place to avoid that in the first place. You can either have periods of calm followed by periods of all out war, or a long entrenched cold war with the occasional amnesty when something happens like someone shitting on a chair.

    We're very positive about the recent films of David Cronenburg.

    Yeah, to a degree. Recall all the trouble inter-forum 'wars' tend to cause.

    LB, put me, vizzini and higgins on ignore, simple as that.
    If people don't want to bitch and argue, spazzing up the forum they should use the ignore function. It's not rocket science.

    I haven't seen either of them. Suck my balls you old farts \o/

    Ignoring prolific posters breaks threads. Choice between having to read posts by munsters or having a completely unfollowable thread, made even more unfollowable when the ignorers ask people not to quote ignorees every time they do.

    They should change it to a Youtube-esque "comment hidden, click here to view" thing or something, but that still kind of defeats the point.

    If this thread turns into the Non-Gents' Commentary thread, I will delete it and any others that spring up.

    What is the Gents Commentary thread? Seriously, when I was counting Forum Award votes there are always a good few for it, but I've no idea what it is. Is it a group thread, or another name for a public thread? 3rd best thread of 2012, pretty high up in 2011 too if I remember correctly, and I've no idea if it's even a real thing!

    It won best thread in 2011. Now it is no more. Mourn for it.

    It was a >3000 page group thread. Contained a lot of comments about the forum in general.
    I suspect most of the voters for it as thread of the year were members of the group.
