That's a good point. I wonder how long it will last in the Gen Disc Forum...

I'll guess no more thasn ten more posts.

You know, I must admit... my first reaction to that damned |rolleyes| is usually an urge to punch somebody...

demiurge1138 asked:

Is is just me, or... are the Wizards boards kinda rude?

It's not just you. I have visited several message boards. WOTC is by far the rudest. Every message board has problem children and bad moments. However, no board can come close to some of the immature posters you will encounter at WOTC.

Celtavian observed:

I think it is because this board has more active moderation

Wise observation and dead on in my not so humble opinion. WOTC has horrible moderation. I've dealt with one of the moderators on the WOTC board trying to report a problem once. It was...an enlightening experience.

Thus, I'm very appreciative of a board that has good moderators. Thank you ENWORLD for having such people.

Of course, if you think the message board is bad, try going to a chat hosted by WOTC. I've seen ****fights between monkeys at the zoo organized better.

ColonelHardisson revealed:

I've seen a number of other boards where EN World is considered the rude, unfriendly place

Really? Which ones? Is EN World considered the snobs of the D20 community?

D20 Player and EN World member #1: "Oh look over there, that's one of those Bastion Press posters."

Player and Member #2: "Oh, I hope he/she doesn't come over here. I cannot stand him/her mingling with us. Plus, can you believe he/she has yet to watch the Matrix Reloaded more than three times. What a cultural buffon.

Bastion Press Poster: Hi guys!

Member #1 and #2: HI! Nice to see you again.

Umm.. Sirius_Black -- do you have conversations with yourself outside of rpgs very often?

Comes in handy while DMing, doesn't it?

For the Wizards' board it is pretty diverse as well as very populated. So you get a whole spectrum of behaviors exhibited. You just got to learn to develop a thick skin.
