do you still frequent OffTopic? that place is a hell hole right now (or more of one than it was).
is it still mostly the 1-word or 1-emoticon responses, all the "crew" this and that, and people bitching at members that don't have a "sub"?

i have an account there but no sub and i visit about twice per year :)

isn't that where M4H ended up?

yea its pretty bad, mainily because they killed After Hours, however years ago it was even worse then it is now,

i pretty much only go into the anime/manga forum as its pretty nice, Ot every now and then to see what people are bitching about

<- has a sub
<- has a crew

lol

what the??? you pay to post there? loooooooser. :laugh:
do you have an active sub?


yea its active, for like 6 more months or something, i paied for a full year like 6 months ago so i could go into AH and look at porn

have you been there today? mass chaos. i've never given that site a cent, and i'm glad i haven't. there is a spin off site for all those sick of Faz in their pockets where the pron is free. :p

what?! that's lame. did they grandfather in the old accounts so they can view & post in the main forum or is the new thing only for new accounts?

you can request a refund. just hit the "Contact Us" button at the botton of the page. Faz gets that. there are people getting refunds.

Didn't think a fellow ATer was over there.

<--- Savemejebus

omg, 2k fg? gimme ^_^

you still play d2?

yes. play on US East Ladder. Most characters just collecting dust. Only really duel with my assn nowadays.

A_Random

lol @ d2jsp. I had a hell of a lot of fg back around September. Then school started and I stopped playing. Had a 89 Sorc on US East HC ladder when they reset it. Account is probably gone by now :(

The only forums I follow are this one, the ls1gto.com forums, MacNN.com, and EVE-Online forums (including SHC). I don't even play EVE anymore, but the in-game politics is still sometimes interesting to follow.

Which is most civilized? I'd say ls1gto.com.

The classiest place I frequent is a private forum for premium brand auto owners (Lincoln, Lexus, BMW, etc).

The least would have to be AT. It wasn't always this way, but now that the 14 year olds have taken over this place is like a day care center. Almost any topic posted here gets a minimum of 50% replies of complete BS like "FAIL", "EPIC", "PICS" or "SHENS". People are mocked for asking about things they simply don't know about and the intelligence level drops on a daily basis.

This is the most "civilized" forum I frequent.

The least is actually a local youth hockey forum... hockey parents can be real "bleeps".... and the mod is an "bleep" with deleting posts.
