Doing the math - Forums ****

Maybe it's time I stopped going to system wars or forums all together, even if it is still one of the better ways to stay up to date in gaming. I'm getting to the point where it sounds like a broken record from the 1900's and I'm not entirely sure they had record players back then. (After a bit of research on wikipedia) No, they didn't so let me change my metaphor. Most of the forums sounds like a busted wax cylinder on a Gramophone from the 1900's. I write in on less than two of the every one thousand threads I read on these forums. Maybe I should just stick to the main page and my blog.

I stopped making points on forums long ago after reading with my own eyes that forums aren't for intellectual debate or even conversations in which people's opinions have foundations of factual substance. If you want normal intelligent conversation where people actually do know what they are talking about, then stick to blog posting. that's as good is it will get on Gamespot. Unfortunately for the good and honest people on the internet (like you and I for example), most people on the internet and on online communities are complete jerks. They forget that they are interacting with real people with real feelings. it might sound deep and a bit on the mushy emotional side, but it's true. look at X BOX Live and PC games online. back when online gaming started people were competetive, yet convivial. I know because I started playing games online back in 1993. now, people are competetive, while being rude, crude, edgy, obnoxious, depraved, and just downright nasty. online communities are really no different from this...
