Poll lasts three days. The CS, W&F, Game Ideas, and Q&A are all archived forums. Happy Zoo is premium only. Good voting chaps...
-
All of them are shit. But uh, Game Ideas was really bad, worse than the rest, I think. Even Crap Shack. Worse than Game and Demo. If you think G&D is worse, you've never been in Game Ideas.
-
Yeah, I'm changing my vote to game ideas because I just had a look at it again and jesus christ. At least G&D sometimes gets a Hima game or something.

I modded it for years and G&D is worse.
Seriously at least GI&D got an occasional discussion topic that generated some decent replies. Mostly it was BAD STORY IDEAS but a small amount of discussion occasionally took place. Pretty much nothing intellectually worthwhile is ever said in G&D.
-
But did you mod it... in 2008
-
honestly the zoo being down for the entire year makes it easily the most useless forum up there, but probably not the worst. w&f was just lame, music and feedback don't deserve to be up there, and pile of feces is a waste of a vote. it's between g&d (there's a forum culture in g&d, come on), post 9/11 (for reasons I've outline elsewhere), and the CS for me. Q&A had that hilarious safari goku topic. in retrospect I feel bad for calling him so dumb but in further retrospection no not really.

nope just late 2007.............. i guess it must have changed magically in six months. also i read quite a bit of it in 08 and ya, g&d is worse bro.
-
I voted w&f because no matter what, it was never anything other than "Oh hi I'm some guy thats gonna disappear after a week. maybe i'll come back who knows noone will remember me"
OR its "oh im sorry guys but i'm leaving forever ive had enough of all this elitist shit i guess i'm just not good enough for GW"
just depression. props to whoever put it in PoF.
-
it was between g+d and q+a for me, but g+d is the only forum that has warranted me minimizing an entire section of forums
-
The Crap Shack was created for the sole purpose of being the crap forum and yet G&D still managed to be worse than it.
-
Please explain this g&d culture stuff for outsiders

G&D has a reputation for containing a subcommunity of RM2k3 users who do not venture outside its confines. It doesn't help that the games they actually produce are rather consistently crappy, and there is barely the slightest hint of critical commentary on its games.
-
I don't understand why someone would nominate Music. It may not be great, not the best, but it's one of the better ones, I think.
-
MONKEY FUCKAN CHEEEEEEEEEEEESE :D
-
tough choice between game ideas and questions & answers but ima go with q&a.
-
Welcomes and Farewells cuz it was full of emo.
-
CHEEESUS!!
-
Comics and Anime would have been nominated if people actually went there.
So G&D it is.
And btw, I still don't know what the 3 tile rule or misaos are.
Bitches.
-
hmm. i'm tempted to vote "Happy Zoo" solely because i can't see it.
-
Happy zoo is useless
-
american magic is really good if you're not inri, tho. it's my favorite discussion forum
-
pile of feces doesn't really count as a forum to me. it was between G&D and crap shack. I voted Crap Shack because the crap shack had a lot of dumb topics, and it wasn't it's own community sort-of-thing. I think it's better to keep G&D topics in there because if we didn't have it, they'd put it in IGD.
-
Q and A was so...bad. Seriously, I always felt depressed posting there. Was wasting my time. So Q and A gets my vote.
EDIT:
Although that "What's on your Mind" thread's been sent around to quite a few of those forums so I'm reconsidering.
EDITEDIT:
So. Um. Seriously, where is the "ALL OF GW ROFL" choice?
-
Man, even W&F was worse than Q&A...
-
all these forums rule, what ya gonna warn me now??
-
Man, even W&F was worse than Q&A...
I never really got a straight answer from anyone, what happened with W&F?
-
it got archived because there weren't very many useful posts there
-
Like it wasn't being used for the purpose of welcomes and farewells or did GW just suddenly not care about the people leaving prissy FUCK YOU posts behind them?
-
mostly GW doesn't care about people making a topic that just says "Hi. I'm new" followed by a bunch of "welcome," and shitty jokes. So i guess the first one because the purpose of a welcome topic is to introduce yourself not to announce yourself. The fUcK yOU topics were entertaining, at least.
-
no real forum keeps an w&f section or a polls one. i mean look around!
-
GW's a real forum? *sniggers*
Personally I thought the welcome forum was a good idea. It was easier for me to post in other forums afterwards, because I thought everyone who posted in my welcome topic was nice and I followed them around. (I was so naive). Also, my welcome topic was stickied. *smiles proudly and pins medal on chest*
-
iirc game ideas has always been full of nothing topics so I guess I'll go for that!
-
I voted w&f just for the sheer (lack of) quality of the posts in there, such as:
"Hey everyone, I just decided to join these boards after lurking and stalking you all for many years. I'm mainly into video games (duh), music and films (kinda the usual, then). My favourite bands would be Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Metallica, The Fall of Troy, Public Enemy, The Who, The Mars Volta, Tool and Portishead, so pretty much anything in the guitar universe with some diversity here and there.
I'm also very big on films and are currently a film student, I won't bother to list films, because you'll be able to tell what I like if I'm wanking on about it or shitting on it in a topic."
Jeeze. Whoever wrote that is such a fucking shit.
And tbh, w&f was quite useless in my opinion.
-
Gotta be G&D. I still don't have any idea why it's still around as G&DA, as there's absolutely no difference between it and IGD except it's shit and has a terrible community.
-
Welcome and farewell was fucking awful, in my opinion. It used to be people going "Hi there my name is blah and i am realy glad to be part of this commu unity! *excess emoticons*". Very rarely, the person was interesting and actually generated some worthwhile conversation. It was nice for people who were leaving and the like, but very often someone who you barely ever see would randomly decide that someone cares if he's going away for the summer. There's also the people who just "come back" and are like "Hey guys I'm bac!!!!k *excess emoticons*". However, no one actually even knew this guy existed, nor that he had been away for some time.
:|
I also remember making a pretty shitty post in that forum a while back as well. God...it's just tainted with awful.

Conclusion: G&D Go Away!!!
