I'm not sure because honestly, I used to post daily on caws.ws and GameFAQs for years because I like talking about things with people who enjoy the same hobbies but yeah, over time, you get trolls posting BS and getting away with it, genuine people getting harassed by moderators with an agenda and there's less actual conversation and more abusive circlejerkery, where everyone is trying to one-up each other on how "funny" they can be.

May not be the same everywhere but I simply can't be bothered and don't care enough about gaming these days to seek out alternatives.

Yeah that is the problem that I have had with other communities. I used to go to IGN a lot but it's pretty much fallen victim to the kind of behavior you are talking about, everyone trying to one-up each other with lots of fanboys getting away with things and people who don't like it getting banned by moderators with agendas. It is no wonder why nobody really cares to go back there anymore, sad to watch communities die like that.

I am kinda the same way where I just don't really care to seek out or get involved in new gaming communities anymore. Gamefaqs kind of takes care of most questions I have, and since I can't really be express myself on most forums anymore without having to deal with some butthurt fanboy moderator I kind of just don't really care to be involved in forums anymore. They just aren't the open communities they used to be and aren't appealing to get involved with when everyone is just some fanboy trying to be louder than the next one.
