My observations so far:
(Disclaimer: Opinions subject to change. Remember, I've only been here for about a year.)
Board 8 is an elitist social board that is heavily oriented toward contests (duh, contests).
It is pretty legit, and the most serious business of contests can be found here.
The users are fairly considerate, some less than others. I think it's somewhere around 30% easy to get along with (maybe more), 10% not so easy to get along with (maybe slightly more), and 60% percent undefined. Again, there seems to be an elitist mindset about the place.
There are a wide variety of people here.
Edit: Most of the users are also competitive.
One should be knowledgeable and tenacious to make a name for himself here.
So far, I give it: Approx. 6.6/10!
Pretty good on my scale. I think I'll be sticking around.
What else should I know by now?
