Such sensitive types.......gotta love ‘em![]()
forums can be tough. i've left and returned a few times over the 10 years or so i've been here.
ignore is great.
i also do something where i type out a full response. wait literally 2 seconds. then delete it without ever posting. it really helps.
I mean look, here we've got a "newb" that just signed up same day, posts a track and wanting to be the face of Fractal advertising because of their amazing work, and gets 2 full pages of pats on the back while providing increasingly vague responses, no patch, no video etc
Compared to the likes of TGP, DPReview, Youtube, and essentially any comments section of Yahoo article this place is puppy dogs and rainbows
Whatever you do, don't go to TGP the majority have the same know it all attitude and are kinda like the clowns on the first part of American Idol, and a few there actually know what they are talking about. Edit: plus it's Helix fanboy central... haha
Some good folks on TGP, but they're far outnumbered by the know-it-alls and assclowns. After 7-8 years, something like 12,000 posts, and countless wasted hours there, I realized, "this place mostly irritates me, it contributes nothing to my life other than a way to pass the time, and probably only a tiny handful of people will even notice that I'm gone." Cut the cord 2 yrs ago and haven't missed it a bit.
As you can tell from my long tenure and tiny post count here, I use this forum mostly as a means to receive and contribute information, and I try to avoid (with mixed success) hot-button discussions. Life is good this way.

I used to have this view for the most part until the last couple of months. There always seems to be "that guy" in every thread, which I've always expected and tolerated, but lately they seem to outnumber those actually contributing something constructive. Maybe I've just been unlucky in the threads I click on and discussions I join but my experience has actually been better on TGP than here lately.Boy you got that right; those sites are just vile compared to this forum. It's frankly depressing to see how pathetic adults behave when under the guise of anonymity.
