Poll: Why is this happening to the Escapist Magazine forums?

[Mask of 1000 Faces]

too many people whining and crying. 50 posts about campers, 20 about sucking ass in TF2 and how its the game that sucks and not the person, and a countless others crying about other people ruining a good game for them online. Reason for this post is to ask you guys: Would it be best if we all collaborate and make a sticky for the forums on : How to deal with campers, how to deal with griefers, and game X is fun, you just need to get better at it( or stop playing and stop whining).

These forums are turning into Gamefaqs forums, i used gamefaqs 8 years ago when i was 12. Seems we are getting more and more useless posts. Instead of posts going on " Game X is fun, but i just don't seem to like it, any suggestions on what im doing wrong" we are getting now " Game X sucks" you people don't even ask what you can do to enjoy the game, since you invested money in it. The Escapist has a great community, that keeps growing and growing, but it seems we are getting less quality than quantity.

I dunno man, the more people you bring in, the higher percentage of them will be idiots.

Welcome to the internet.

But hey, it could be worse, we could be under attack from 4chan or something, atleast we're only dealing with a growing increase of whiners.

I think the Escapist website is stuck in a neverending time warp like in Groundhog day.

We're doomed to repeated topics on Religion, Female gamers, best [insert game, music, graphics.etc.etc].

I've started to read the forum less now because half the time they are repeated topics or topics that are all about the poster (I've only done it once ) and not really a discussion on a general subject.

We need to do what Bill Murray did and find the groundhog and drive it over a cliff.
