God I love this forum.

It's so civilized, and everyone has proper spelling. It's like internet heaven!
Does that make /b/ internet hell?
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say "yes"

I've never been to /b/... but I've heard the stories

then again we have our fair share of fanboy elitests too cough pc snobs cough
What are you talking about? Anything but the pc is suxx0r!111.

In all seriousness, I think that we can all recognize that every console has its share of fanboys, and in that way the PC is no exception.Of course, console (pc included) flame wars are often the most pathetically entertaining threads on other forums...

I first came to The Escapist around the time Yahtzee posted his second ZP video,(The Darkness, if memory serves) and for awhile that's the only reason I came here. Then after wandering over the forums and reading the articles on the home page I nearly passed out at the unexpected intelligence. It's not Nobel prize material but compared to: "OMG LOOOOLZZZ ROFLOL!!!1!", this is Shakespeare.

Also, if you ever come across a "LOL" in another forum where there's nothing to laugh at, point it out. Sometimes the next poster will join you in his stupidity.

Yes, yes it does.

4chan is internet hell, and /b/ is the innermost circle. Home to Satan himself.

there was a forum i visited quite often about three years ago, the bloodrayne.co.uk forums, everyone was polite, the discussions interesting and civil, and i never saw a troll.

it died a while back, I've never found out why.

i can to the escapist like a refugee, seeking shelter from other OMG HAXXORZ sites. (Like Game FAQs, i foolishly made an account there and was permanently banned as soon as i clicked the activation link. no explanation given.)

That's why I joined too. I saw all the interesting topics and good speeling and all, and decided to join.

Face it people. Escapist is like the Promised Land for gaming intellectuals, lead here by our cyber-Moses.

There are places much worse than 4chan.

It's this sort of civility that keeps me coming back to this place.

Even if I'm a very lazy poster during the quarter...
