I'd just stop visiting tech forums. Not many good ones out there anymore. I used to belong to Guru3D until it started becoming a hostile environment. Let's just say a stupid joke was taken the wrong way and a fight ensued. Nobody got banned but I took the high road out.

Tom's Hardware







I kid, I kid!

Tom's is a good site. The worst is hard ocp. I tried to sign up there and it says they don't allow registrations done with free email accounts. So basically it's impossible to be a member there considering 99% of email addresses are hotmail, yahoo, and gmail.

Tom's was good when they had those two guys making the vids reviewing games and talking about game-related stuff, but then they were let go.

I left too.

That is a bullshit condition for registration.

I'd probably post anonymously on 4chan, build some fake facebook profiles and go on troll raids with them. Slowly building street cred and leveling up...

Anandtech has the same policy. I couldn't sign up with hotmail or yahoo, so I couldn't post here for a few years. I got a gmail invite from a friend and I used that email to join Anandtech. I'm not sure if you're allowed to use gmail these days.

I signed up using my hotmail account. I guess thay must have changed the registration procedure after you joined.

Reddit. I have started to dabble over there more and more and enjoy the multiple forum feel while also having little moderation in each thread.

Anywhere.
Everywhere.
PC Gaming is my fave.

I never posted regular on TFNN, but its a fun place. Less douchery overall.
The Palladium Forums are great too.
Also I have literally about 10 thousand hours worth of video game entertainment on Steam and in my CD case.
And books. I like to read, but even with limited neffing I dont read enough.
