Don't get me wrong, I like forums and I like posting on them, but there are some things that really tick me off about most gaming forums:

1. Lack of originality in names. The first name that anyone ever gets in a firum is always "Dark-Something". It's either DarkMaster, DarkSonic, DarkMario, DarkYoshi, DarkMegaman, or something like that. After the wave of "Dark-Something" names comes videogame/anime character crossover names like "SonicMario", "MarioMegaman", "SailorMoonKnuckles" or "DarkInuyashaSonicMarioBowserMegaman". There are always some original names, but those account for about 3% of the names population. And don't even get me started on thread-naming. Much of the time it's pushy, oppinionated crap like "why do you hate the PSP" or "why do you hate Pokemon" that essentially demands that you be opinionated and stupid like the author of the thread.

2. l33t-talk. I abhor speaking in l33t. Only stupid nerds and those with special training know what "h3110 3\/3ry1 h0w 4r j00 d0ng?!?1 im 4 h4x0r but g0t pwn3d 1n c0unt3rstr1k3 4nd ju s00d ph33r m3 lol!!!!!!!11" means.

3. Excessive fanboyishness. I hate how almost every topic on favorite videogame systems results in a 4-way flame war between the Nintendo nerds, the Sega nerds, the Microsoft nerds and the Sony nerds. I just hate it.

There are many others, but they are too numerous.

Yep, you're right.

(What I'm REALLY trying to say is get used to it, forums are forums. Be glad that we still don't have to beat out words on our giant drums to far-off friends.)

Personally, I think that--


People with names that do not contain character names (or are simply unoriginal) are generally admirable and wise.

--our forum is overall balanced.

Funny how Glorb complains about originality when his signature makes him look like a hypocrite.

 Kelso: Guys this is a game of Cat & Mouse between me & Hyde. I''m gonna make him admit he''s been going out with Jackie behind my back.
Fez: Guys, what happens in Cat & Mouse if the cat is retarded?
As a game that requires six friends, an HDTV, and skill, I can see why the majority of TMK is going to hate on it hard.

Hey, game quote sigs are okay, but is my name "DarkSonic"? No. Did I spell that like "h3y g4m3 kw0t3 s1gz r 0k bvt 1z my n4m3 'd4rkz0n1k'????" No. At least I didn't copy someone else's sig.

Wait... so you're saying you like what you are, but not what's not you...  What's this topic about again?  Are we supposed to share what we hate about Forums, or read this topic as if it was a post in some other place like Mario Bar?

I think it is quite obvious. You post your opinion here. Nowhere else. And I am criticizing all forums in general, any forum at all, including this one, but not only this one and not specifically this one. So while the TMK forums has its air share of generic-named, opinionated l33t-speakers, I am not maliciously seeking out the TMK forums. If you do not understand this, I would be amazed.

Don't understand your last post, or the whole topic before your last post?

I'm such a sucker for threads about complaining!  I agree with ya, Glorb, about the names and stuff.  When I thought of what name I wanted for this forum I put a little thought into it first and tried to make it more original, even though it's probably not that much and maybe a little corny XD.  Thankfully people can always change names later if the get a better name.

I also get sick of forums with thousands of moving pictures that jam up my computer (maybe I won't mind someday if I get a faster connection).  I'm glad this forum doesn't allow that, plus swearing and other annoying junk that's everywhere else.

So does anyone go to a lot of other forums beside this one?  I think I saw Deezer at the forum in Nintendorks once.  And btw, how does Glorb's sig make him look hippocritical?

Hmmm, I think that I'm going to change my name to DarkBoshidragonofthemushroomlagoon.  Yes, it's a prefect name!

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

I will never forget how at the begining of Sonic the hedgehog, there wouldbe that "SeeeGaaa!" sound me and my brothers would always imitate.  That was a long time ago though.

He's complaining about the lack of originality on message boards and his signature is the complete opposite of originality. It's not original, it's not funny and it makes him look like he's contradicting himself.
