They got 1.8 million users, and their Memberlist sorted by posts is rather scary ... there's more people above 10000 posts (4927) than this board ever had total, 2 even passed 100000, and 71986 got to 1000 (compare that to the older board's count here, around 170)

(edited)
2 threads with 1.4 million replies each here, more than this board's total too


Exactly why I could careless for such a place.

Ok, maybe it's not as bad as IGN or GameFAQ's, but I could be wrong.

The Extended Discussion isn't that bad. It moves slowly enough that you can make posts and they're usually matter.

Ah, god, I hate Gaia Online... My girlfriend's sister plays it and does nearly nothing else online at all. I'd rather stick to the roleplaying forums here, at least they're centralized and not blatant spam boards. Just looking at the front page of the site makes me want to heave, it's filled with so many annoying members and overemotional high school initiates that sifting through the junk and the whine-tastic blogs to find something that's actually worth reading is more or less pointless. Yes, it has billions of posts in it, but no, it's not worth being a part of, in my opinion.

I don't like places like that in general...

EDIT: Ow.... I just went there again for the first time in a few months, reading Nebetsu's thread.... So... many... posts... Can't keep track of them all....

When I first went there, I must've avoided all that overemotional stuff. Maybe it just doesn't happen so much in the tech forum?

The tech forum's just full of OS based flamewars

This user has averaged 323 posts per day since August 2004 ... that's what, more than half of this board's usual amount?

I swear the ACS would be hell over there, the ACS thread would have to be limited to ACS posts only or else you'd never ever find them buried deep under chatroom-like spam

Makes me wonder actually if a total spammer posting a lot of worthless crap in some of the huge threads would possibly risk getting banned, since it's sort of hard to moderate a board with 20000 users online and a million posts per day

*takes a look at some of the posts in one of the super huge threads*

Wow... This has been really slow since last I was here. Like... 5 pages in 3 hours?
That says enough And it's full of short pointless posts (sometimes double posts) such as "So is anyone here? anyone at all?", "g2g", "Bye." and "*wanders in*" ... in other words, a chatroom full of people where nothing meaningful ever happens ...


Some of the other forums with actual topics seem fine, though, at least from the few threads I checked (they weren't too big either), so I guess it's not all spam

Well probably, but wouldn't surprised if they earned alot of money through ads too.

...this forum is one of the more. Less spam friendly forums, whatever people say. I think it's little too restricted at times, then I do understand that people frown upon on posts such as "Bye".

Actually, I think they had some kind of rotation going with the flamewars.

Operating Systems
Versions of Linux
Apple vs Microsoft
Pentium vs Athlon
Apple vs everybody who says Apple is too expensive
Firefox vs IE
My computer is better than yours

These were rotated about six times daily, so if you missed the flamewar an hour ago, one should be coming right up around the corner

Uhh... what's wrong with phpBB?

Personally, I think their particular variant of phpBB is extremely well done.

I had the same problem with Runescape. I blocked it in the Hosts file. All of a sudden, my brother finds he can't get to the site from home for some reason. Problem solved.

Well, phpbb is really meant for smaller communities, and things like vb are better for larger ones. I think it has something to do with backups.
