Board 8 > Why is the B8 discord so Toxic towards members?

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's really ruining the experience
---

because ulti and corrik suck

wow i forgot how brutal one of my burns was
---

board 8 is also pretty toxic towards members.

the discord being an extension of b8, it makes sense!
---

Some users are really shitty and have pissed over all the goodwill they've ever been shown.

Some users are snitches and are similarly shitty.
---

Awwww my doggo's face is so cute
---

Oh damn, I didn't make it into this topic. But at least @scarletspeed7 did.

Also I love how we said "Ulti is a Warriors fan" was a toxic comment.
---

That's really ALL of the mentions of them both over like a year period? Jeez.

It was probably the biggest insult of them all tbf

Not to support ulti/vlado (corrik is fine) but it does look like the entirety of discord is those users who never have anything poignant to say so they create an identity based on tearing down things that are popular to hate. Thank goodness we have the discord to draw those users away from the board, because its downright pleasant here without them.

Yeah my worldview has always worked really great for my own self esteem
---

these screenshots are hilarious
---

anyway you should see the #super-secret logs
---

Because gfaqs isnt expanding anymore, its shrinking. When a subculture/economy starts shrinking people turn against each other. Blame 2007 tbh
---

The screenshots are the results of searches for two names. Not all the results shown for ulti are even bad. Which makes sense, he's bad a lot less often than Corrik. And both of them receive as much vitriol, or more, on the board.
---

didn't we already go over this exact topic in the sticky?
---

oh cool, semi's still around?
---

1. Who's alt is this?

2. B8 is "toxic" to users who are toxic. The people mentioned in the screenshots are people who, at best, makes disingenuous arguments. At worst, they actively admit to intentionally antagonizing half of the board, and thus deserves no pity for the disdain they brought upon themselves. If you have actually been on Board 8 for longer than a week or so, this would be common knowledge.

3. No, seriously. Who are you?
---

it's probably Steiner, thirsty for more discord
---

A great leader never lets a good crisis go to waste rite
---

I wish this was my alt, this topic is great
---

lol

I really don't put Corrik in the "terrible users" category. He means well.

I think that, every so often. And then I remember that he really doesn't

I wouldn't label him as a "terrible user," but he's purposefully difficult when he doesn't need to be.
---

yeah, i've always found it pretty weird how corrik is one of the users who get burned at the stake by the board tbqh.

not saying he can't be annoying - because he definitely can be - but there's plenty of people here who are a lot more insufferable (and receive way less bashing).
---

i left the discord cuz i was on it like constantly

it was great tho and i admittedly do miss it

in the interest of fairness we should equally distribute the bashing between all users regardless of how annoying each individual user is.

I stand by this.

Oi, I used to have an Xbox and 360 and I'd get an Xbone ahead of a PS4 still, if I was to get a current gen console. Gamefaqs is just really damn weird about hating Microsoft consoles and I haven't got a clue where it comes from.
---

In fairness, that "Always online" bullshit they tried to pull really didn't earn Microsoft any good will.

corrik lost his shit that FF7R wasn't coming to Xbox and when people were like "well yeah who cares" he had a several page long melty and blew the whole thing out of proportion

which is fine, sometimes people get worked up, it's the internet

but then he backpedaled and was like "durrr i was only pretending to be mad!!!!" which is like the worst thing to say, just move on, don't try to save face

he was "BEYOND FURIOUS" that ff7 remake was going to come out later for the XBone than for the PS4... which is a console he also owns
---

basically that thread
---

His takes were so phenomenonally st*pid that I got moderated and eventually warned for calling him st*pid so many times, it was grossly unfair especially when you consider it was a fake take anyway and i was entirely correct
---

also i think corrik is currently in another thread arguing that drugs are bad but alcohol isn't a drug so his DUIs aren't a bad thing

or something

which i'm sure will also become a "durrr i was only joking" once he starts getting called out more

like i actually didn't mind corrik much, even the FF7R thread didn't seem that bad, I'm pretty annoying so I have a high tolerance for what most consider "bad users" but like the whole "drinking and driving isn't as bad as drugs" it the hottest of hot takes



like if corrik ever is giving you shit for your opinions in any thread just post that and walk away

Said I was upset a game that seemed to be coming to Xbox is a PS Exclusive now because I wanted to play it on Xbox!

I even got made fun of for going to boards for gaming systems on GameFAQs!

@SMW2

You are generating talk by sharing people acting like an ass.

Any purpose to this topic?

If this is true then yikes, that's a major downgrade from what I'd expect out of him. That's more the realm of....

Well I won't name names.

Flamebait, if I had to guess. No way a random just pops up and calls out the board unless they're itching for an argument.
