I use to frequent the TV.com boards to discuss shows but that place was so overloaded with trolls and morons who wouldn't listen to reason that I just left. There was also that one guy named Zarius who was one of the most hated guys their and at other message boards I've visited. Thankfully he's banned from most of them now.
The Serebii boards were pretty fine as far as fanboards go. Unfortunately, every thread started to degenerate into regular members vs newbies flame wars or the same people complaining about getting certain pokemon through special events. Then the webmaster decided to fire the good mods, hire a bunch of random people and then adding so many new rules and giving every mod too much power, which broke the last straw and I quietly left.
I 100% agree with you there. There are alot of jerks there now, enspecially Kauser and Edward Elric. Kauser was some Code LYOKO fanboy who flamed me for disliking the show, even though I gave out reasons to why I dislike it. I mean, I don't care if someone likes it or not, as long as they don't give me the bumrap for disliking it. It's not like I go around saying "you Code LYOKO fanboys are supid. The show sucks".
Then theres Edward Elric, a Fullmetal Alchemist fanboy (who obviously named his member name after the main character) and mod. Of coarse, he acts like a troll sometimes rather than a mod. For example, when some accidently said that 4Kids dubbed Naruto, he said "[wtd] have you been smoking?". Then another time he tells a member of the "Favorite Sin Homunculus [from FMA]" to shut up and that it isn't a popularity contest. Uh, what? It IS on. Anything with the words "Best" and "Favorite" usually are a popularity contest. Seriously, he needs to learn to chill.
And then theres Dogasu, another mod. While not a complete jerk like Edward, he seems to have a problem with people using the word "gay" as an explenitive for stupid or lame, and goes as far as calling people "homophobe" for saying so. While I rather use other words to describe things that aren't cool, I don't go around saying someones a homophobe for saying which. Besides, gay didn't mean homosexual until the, I don't know, 70's or 80's?
I don't know why I even bother still hanging out in there. Maybe it's my fanboyism twards Pokemon. Maybe it's my fanboyism twards anime. I mean, it's not like I hate the boards, I just hate some of the people there. I wish it went back to the way it was.
