I' m a new member here.

Anyways, it seems like I cannot find a good online board to post at these days. If I try to post at forum which involves gaming, I usually have to deal with hostile people who like to relate games with anime and jpop. This is something I really do not like to do because gaming is a part of the computer industry. It' s not a part of the japan industry. It' s like every forum I goto has all these japanfanboys. I don' t hate japan. I' ve met a nice number of japanese people whom were okay, but fuck, it' s not like I consider them to be better than everyone else either. I understand that japan is the leading country in the games industry, and some anime is better than alot of western animation in overall quality, but at the same time, all of these production companies over there are just trying to sell their products.

I also think it is highly annoying when people start posting threads which involve their personal lives which is extremely depressing. THIS IS AT A FRIGGING GAME FORUM!!!

When it comes down to it, I' m a gamer in my heart. I' ve been playing games since I was five years old. I' m 24 years old now. It' s really hard to meet people in everyday life with a passion as deep as your own(I' m not just talking about people who play games. I' m talking about people know about how the industry works, tech talkers, non-pirate gamers,etc). I' m even going back to grad school in two years to get my masters in computer science because I wanna do realtime 3d graphics programming. I love games that much. I decided to resort to online boards to meet people with similar interests, but I swear, It' s like I' m completely giving up on online gaming boards. I cannot deal with jpopping, animefreak, fanboys who give japan all the credit when it comes to games.

I listen to alot of psytrance and ambient music and also post at www.isratrance.com. I' ve been listening to electronic music for three years, which is nowhere as near as long as the time frame I' ve been playing games for. This board has thousands of members, and it is one of the few forums where people stick to the damn point(The music in this case). I' ve even met some people, who post there, in real life. It amazes me how easy going music lovers are compared to thousands of gamers

I' ve browsed this forum, and it doesn' t seem like a place full of hostile people. I' m going to give this place one last shot.


How do you feel about the quality of online gaming forums today?
