Penny Arcade Forums

Is it just me, or are the Penny Arcade forums home to the most closeminded, immature people ever to disgrace the Internet? Jesus. I just spent 4 days posting there before throwing up my hands in disgust and beating a retreat over to Anandtech to delurk.

I've been on the Internet for far too long to not realize that for every half-way decent person, there's at least 10 people who turn out to be complete hosers, but Penny Arcade certainly seems to have way more than it's share. I never thought I'd agree, but moderation IS a good thing.

I feel like I just got my Internet cherry popped all over again. :Q

Sorry I started my first post (and thread) on such a sour note. Just had to vent....

Nope, that's ATOT.
 
I keep on coming back for anandtech for reasons like this. It's not as strict as it used to be (except for no-babe threads) but there is still enough control that it makes it fun to post.

Amish: you sound like one of those whiny americans who hate america 🙂 I'll tell you what I tell them....if you don't like it you can always leave.

EDIT: Welcome to ATOT. The beginning of the end of your life.

Geez, you came back here? 😉

Heh, at least Anandtech has mods who actually give a flying felch about keeping stuff under control. With Penny Arcade, you're more likely to get insulted by a mod than banned or locked.

Edit: Thanks, Elemental. ::sets his watch:: tick....tick....tick....tick...tick....
