Please help me find another forum/online community.

[ResonanceSD]

Might I suggest the Zeel route?

1. Find something to rage on about Touhou seems a good fit for you 'til you get banned.
2. Once banned, move to another forum and start again.
3. ???
4. Profit.

Oh man I seriously lol'd

OT

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Because I don't want ass prints on my new door!

I hear it's a pretty nice door.

I would have recommended the GameFAQs boards since they have a big community like the Escapist but...

1. Some boards are flat out dead
2. The mods are retards sometimes. I have stories.
3. Some of the community there is filled with retards and trolls. Case in point, The Halo 4 board. (*WAHHHH* Call of Duty!!! *WAAHHHH*)

It's really hard to find a good gaming community to join these days. If you find a good one, please let me know.

Serious suggestion, I'm seconding this. I'm pretty sure I've seen every last one of the games Lilith mentioned in her OP gushed about over there, whether it's in their specific board, in the board of the systems that they're on, or in the board for the genre they fit into (SHMUPS, Fighters, etc.)

Also, Lilith, we don't hate the games with a passion. I've played and enjoyed a good chunk of the stuff on the list. What gets old is the way you flip out at the slightest thing. I would say offense, but that's the point: you take offense when there should be none. I'm not saying you need to leave here, I am saying if you want to fit in /anywhere/ on the internet, you need to grow a thicker skin.

Ignore listed, best decision ever lol


OP: You can't honestly react the way you usually do to criticism and be accepted ANYWHERE. I'd recommend IGN, but I suppose I've got a vested interest there. Try 1UP and Penny-Arcade.

Are you saying you've ignore listed me, or what? Obviously you won't get this message if you've done it, but the post is kind of confusing because I can't think of a reason to ignore list somebody over a post like that. Some the things I've posted about copyright, maybe, but not that.

True, but you can do it the other way around. I was seriously confused there XD

Just stop being so abrasive. Understand that people don't necessarily have the same taste in games you have, don't take it as a personal attack and don't lash out at people who don't share your opinion. Threads like this don't help.

Nobody hates you Lilith, you're just coming off as combative when you don't need to be.

EDIT: Just looking at that list of games I think your tastes fit in here more than you think. There's loads of games on there that I and many others love.

Hazy got it right in one. People on this website get very aggressive about things they like/dislike. You're no different, but you're starting to actively engage in flaming the people who dislike things you like, and flame the things you dislike just for... well, being.

Hey, I can get pretty worked up when people attack me on the Internet too, but in the big picture it really doesn't matter. Unless my job involved working on the Internet, it's really not very serious business, even when I see people who have opinions that are completely opposite to my own. Even when I see people who hold absolutely ridiculous, sometimes even downright stupid opinions, it just doesn't matter. Humans are creatures of habit, first and foremost, and the chances are somebody isn't going to change their opinion just because another person typed at them really vehemently across the Internet.

Also:

But hey, at least you don't go on about fucking Sonic all the time. (As in, go on about Sonic, not actually... nevermind.)

If you'll allow a bit of juvenile antics to surface...
lolEternalNothingness.

 

[Akyho]

What are you basing this on? The fact you arnt a "notable" user? Neither is most of us.

If you meet and find friends on here, go ahead. However forums are not realy the place. More so large forums like here. The main thing that decides if I stay at a forum is if I remember to visit it and to want to.

Other than that i have my one internet home and I love that place. How do you get yours? You will know it when you get it.

Dosnt mean you have leave here. Just broaden your horizons. I visit three to four forums ones is my home forums and others including here are nice to visit. Otherwise....don't be so dramatic, cos you will find yourself just coming back and starting it all over again.

I am a huge anime fan. However I am alone on my tastes it seems, I love the old animes. I tried to join a forum specifically for such and I got realy excited, however it was a closed community and I didnt pass muster....when they said it's just a formality. So that annoyed me.

Overall its hard to hang your hat somewhere else.

 

[Nyaliva]

Unfortunately Lilith, with such a large list of beloved games, you're unlikely to find a forum that doesn't have people who dislike some of them. And I understand why you dislike the Escapist for this, people here tend to hold very passionate opinions, especially of games. Heck, the responses to this thread are less than warm. But I don't think you should go because chances are any gaming forum will have people who share some of your views and oppose others and they likely won't be any friendlier than people here. In addition, you have contributed some interesting conversation in non-gaming threads. If this isn't enough and you really want to talk about games why not try a few here (that aren't Touhou) and see how people react. A number of the games you mentioned I haven't heard anyone dislike strongly and others I haven't heard at all. If you're prepared for people to not know about them or straight dislike them you shouldn't have a problem. You may even get a few people interested in them!

did you have to take some kind of test or somthing? :/

My god, you're a king at derailing. I'm honestly proud to share a province with you

 

[MeChaNiZ3D]

I feel like a layperson most of the time, or a Cro Magnon or something, but honestly, if you like video games and don't fit in here, find another planet.

(maybe Kotaku? idk)

 

[likalaruku]

Try Gamezebo. It's predominantly middle aged women talking about casual PC, Wii, & mobile games, but at least it's friendly & people actually try stuff you suggest.

 

[Sandjube]

Most of the time what you're saying is fine, and I'm happy to read through it and comment, but there are definitely times where both you AND other people seem to be aggressive for no reason at all. My suggestion is to tone it down a bit and maybe put a question in your OP once in a while, like "Hey guys I like Touhou, what do YOU like?".

Uh, yeah, that's about all i got I guess. Seeya if you're out.

 

[Chairman Miaow]

Your problem was never your taste, it was your attitude. You alienated people by being rude, intolerant of their tastes and generally unlikable. People responded in kind. You then proceeded to play the victim and claim that it was the other way round.

Make an apology, and don't say things like other people's opinions don't matter, and you would fit in fine here. I know it wasn't all your fault, and there was probably a few people who were just poking at you to get a reaction, but as online communities go, The Escapist is relatively troll free, and somebody has to make a first step, and why not be that person who does the right thing?

[small]Thanks for making that touhou thread though, I really like bullet hells but never bother looking for them, it kind of rekindled that love[/small]

I don't enjoy most of what the Escapist likes, and the Escapist hates what I like with a passion.

There are plenty of people here who like what you like, you don't even have to look hard to find them. At the very least one person in each of your threads has agreed with you.

Edit: I realised after posting this some of the things I've said to you were probably combative in nature, and if so I apologise? And anyway, what games did you want to talk about? I love loads of the games on that list, although I'm not as much of a Japanophile as you clearly are. How about Nippon Ichi and how awesome they are and how they should bring the Disgaea games to any platform other than PS3 so that I can play them because they are awesome and amazing and ...... I'll stop now.

 

[Strazdas]

Nowhere.

With your attitude, no forum is going to welcome you. Your going to end up alienating yourself again and again. Take a look in the mirror. It's not us, it's you.

basically this. You are making yourself a victim that you are not.

 

[Rastien]

It's like i say to the people who make a song and dance about quiting wow, the people who change forums or stop playing wow or change games etc don't make a big song and dance about it they just get on with it and do it.

Those that don't never really go they just come back after a time simple as that, if your gonna do it, do it.

Also the past few threads you have made seem to be crys for attention get a dog

Apologies if this post is a little harsh but its a pet peeve of mine like when people put "..." or "" as there status and are just fishing for people to respond. As i said nothing personal but if your gonna do it get on and take the steps.

-captcha doctor who? fuck yeah completely irrelavant to the thread but win captcha

-SINP-

I remember you...

You went all nutty when people didn't know what Touhou was. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.374575-Absolutely-breathtaking-Gensokyo-in-Minecraft?page=1

To be honest you were kinda asking for it with your inflammatory posts.

Well goodbye! And Good Luck!

I jest but seriously just lay off the insults and DO NOT ASSUME PEOPLE KNOW WHAT YOU KNOW!

For example: I like the Warhammer 40000 universe (as shown by my choice of Avatar) and I occasionally show that in my posts.
If someone asks me what Warhammer 40000 is I DO NOT insult them even in a joking manner ie

I, literally, have no idea what you are talking about.

Then you've just lost your right to ever play video games again.

I'll be taking your license to play video games now. Ignorance of the law is no excuse.

Instead I would reply and maybe provide links to explain.

Be nice and polite in the Escapist and the Escapist will be (mostly) nice and polite to you.

Be a dick and you will be strung up and beaten like a piñata and for a long time afterwards be known as "the guy that was strung up and beaten like a piñata."

 

[viranimus]

So is this another stage in the whats TouHou saga?

I rather doubt your going to find a community online that writes predominantly in English that even knows of Touhou's existence. Face it. It is a niche of anime dominated japan, which anime in and of itself in the English speaking world is a niche. Basically a niche of a niche. That might represent millions, but in a world of billions thats a little less impressive.

As for other aspects, you come off abrasive with your borderline militant feminism as well. That in and of itself may be a problem as well. Between yourself and Grey Day your at the forefront of addressing womens issues in threads. That isnt the problem. The problem is the frequency. Like it or not gaming is still dominated by boys and their toys. So coming in all preachy about womens issues and the evils of men in a community mostly populated by men, can you really be surprised when its not well received?


Look for all I just said, please dont misconstrue. I think you fit just fine in this community. Communities have very wide berths of people, interests, communal tolerances, etc I can respect that your smart and insightful individual. We as a community are better off with you than without you, and while your presence might help others who have similar views to you feel more comfortable here, your absence will only let someone who does have similar views to you also end up feeling alienated too. Honestly I think you should stay. We are better off and honestly I think you would be better off here than some other community centered around anonymity and memes or the like.

While they may not always agree with you, the merit of this community is that you find a much higher intellectual average. In finding ANY community that is the single hardest hurdle to overcome.

TL;DR: Just because we do not always agree does not mean we do not like you or do not respect your opinions.

So I would hope you would choose to stay. And I will wish you the best if you decide otherwise.
