I've always found ENWorld pro- 4E. It seems every thread has an anti- 3E backhanded comment such as "Before 4E came along and saved me from 3E,..." This used to really bother me, but now I laugh. Still, it gets tiring to see the same names making the same references. I generally stay to threads I feel aren't going to go that direction, but sometimes curiosity gets the better me.
As a result, I spend much more time at Paizo. Yes, there is an edition war there too but it leans more my direction. |
I gotta disagree there, man. While many of the
posters here love
4e, that doesn't mean the forums themselves are skewed a different way. Yeah, those names - and I bet I could guess a few ;p - get rather tiresome, but it's just people making noise. And keep in mind, I'm willing to bet those same people glare at their own list of names or people who always talk about ho much better 3.5 is over
4e. I'm probably on one or two...er...or several...lists.
What makes a board skew in one direction over the other is in cases like RPG.net, where the moderators
enforce an edition war by openly backing one of the editions, or when a website is closely tied with one of the editions and has an actual stake in it. I don't think EN World has a stake in any of the editions - it's a D&D website first, specific edtion website second.
