Front load washers suck. I wont get another one. Have to clean / dry the gasket so it doesnt get mildew, and its no more efficient than high efficiency top loaders.


I've never had issues with mildewy gaskets when leaving the doors open on front load washers in places I've rented, but I've only ever used them for 1-2 years. How often do you have to clean yours?

Both front-loading washers I have owned eventually had problems sealing around the door and started leaking.

Strictly top-loading for me now.


Damn. Gasket issues?

Front loader is great because of more space and it's more durable. Top loaders are a hassle because of the pillar in the middle gets off-balanced easily. If you get a big top loader you'll have to lean in real deep in the washer to pull out your clothes and might even slip inside.


Some of those newfangled top loaders without the center agitator are cool, but the water efficiency and potential drainage issues are drawing me to the front loaders.

We're fortunate enough to have found a place with a pretty good sized laundry room so size won't be an issue thankfully. We're gonna save a lot on closing costs so we're thinking about springing for some nice units that will last us a while. I feel like washer/dryer technology isn't something that really evolves that quickly so it's all about reliability.

I also heard that washers/dryers sold at big box hardware stores are of lesser quality than ones sold at dedicated appliance stores but I'm not sure if I believe that.

The "water efficient" washers take an hour or so to wash clothes. Try to find out the cycle times so you don't have to wait a long time to do your laundry. "water efficient" washers might have a 'quick wash' cycle which can take 32 minutes or less instead of an hour.


We're currently living with some friends in their house while we close on our place and we do this. Quick wash + extra rinse = 39 minute cycle.

@bover_87

Remember when you stole the dude202 account because it had LUE access, then were a white noise shitposter for several years (obviously in the hopes of sneaking under the radar), then they literally made you a mod and you got exposed bigly on CE?

That mustve been so humiliating for you. I also remember the admins refusing to do anything for the longest time even after the original account owner showed up.

Makes me think (as is often the case on this website) that your being made a mod was rooted in nepotism and the staff turned a blind eye to the very obvious fact that the account was stolen.

Land Of Gamecubes also stole his account and never got punished for it. Same with Volt9x, who stole (or bought?) the Mana Knight account and had its name changed to Mewtwo.


Damn I didnt know about some of this stuff.

Wait, saying you had a user Ignored or telling someone you were putting them on Ignore was never a ToU violation but someone being Blocked is?

Or is it just you >_>


Mods are very trigger happy when it comes to people discussing blocked users and users who have blocked them. They haven't yet ironed out the rules consistently in regard to that feature since it was implemented. Goats' history in regard to that is now causing him to be targeted for it. It briefly happened to me a few months ago and a moderator screwed up royally over it and suspended me for a non-violation while making false claims. It was overturned within a few hours thankfully. Goats was hit for the same thing I initially was (before the suspension) and now is getting that same treatment.

The full story is that he has been caught and warned multiple times for harassment by abusing the block feature. Naturally the punishments will escalate given that he has a history for pulling off that shit.


Initially yes, but now they are using history and history alone. The post that got his alt suspended was not a violation. He did not address anyone who blocked him. He did not @ someone he had blocked. He didn't even mention a single name. He basically just said "someone people can't see the warned general topics because they caused trouble in them." That isn't a violation of the block "rules" or any rules at all. They just said "oh. History. Suspended." That is what happened to me also, only whoever reviewed it realized the truth that I did nothing wrong, which is why it was overturned. I had spoken to multiple mods off site and they all agreed with me (even prior to the overturn).


This is very interesting because I was warned for trolling when I stated that there are a number of users who contact mods off site to get posts moderated/overturned. Why was I modded for that?

I'm not making any of this up and anyone who was around at the time can corroborate it.

Why the gas lighting? Hes gone now

I'm not saying any mods agreed with his opinions, dont try to twist my words to make me say shit I never did , I'm saying he stated them and was never punished, meanwhile people who literally quoted him or screenshotted him were punished.

This is why Admiral was so disliked, because he was untouchable while he said horrible things


I hate to agree with UR but its true. I remember him saying horrible things about Trayvon Martin and Mike Brown with absolute impunity.


That may be more along the lines of an existing conservative narrative. He was probably listening to Rush Limbaugh or something. Sounds like other things were worse (although that's pretty awful)


Nah, he was literally using racist slurs to describe people who were rioting in Ferguson Missouri after Mike Brown was murdered.

But people do steal accounts, no?


The extreme majority of account thefts on GameFAQs over the years have been for one or more of (1.) LUE access, (2.) the account is a mod, (3.) grudge against the owner (either posting embarrassing shit on the stolen account or just suiciding it), and (4.) pure entertainment (usually suiciding accounts en masse). People generally aren't going to go through the trouble of stealing an account for regular board access or anonymity when they can just make a few alts and level them enough to access whatever board.

I should also point out that account security has improved greatly since the days of GFAQs' mass jackings, both with the most popular email providers (TFA alone basically defeats 99% of attempted email thefts, which is by far the most common way to steal an account) and on GameFAQs itself. If there are still accounts floating around that aren't in the hands of their original owners, they were most likely either stolen a very long time ago (long enough ago that it would be nearly impossible to prove that the current holder is not the original owner at this point) or handed over willingly by the original owner (for money or otherwise).


Very informative, thank you. You sound like an expert on this subject.
