So many people here with bad opinions on what makes a bad thread, or bad posts and really just giving me an overall sense that they are overly sensitive twats that I wouldn't want to play video games with. The Archeage thread is a shining example. Probably one of the more fun threads we've seen in a long time.

Megathreads are OK, but they do stifle organic conversation, To an extent what was said here:

I think it is because they compare games to other video game forums where megathreads may exist in lesser number or not at all and there are quite a few other threads to post things in.

We tend to separate that second category to imp zone, but for a long time in games some people were worried about probations and didn't post or create threads due to fear of probations or bans. This lead to less content that could have been.

Perhaps a necessary evil

Actually Eonwe has a point. Remember the report shaming thread? I think that proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that a lot of people get easily butthurt about the smallest, stupidest poo poo (across the entire forum no less). There are even a few people in this thread that are getting dangerously close to that line.

I didn't know who Widestancer was before Archeage, but now I wish I gotten to know her earlier. True Words.

CoffeeBooze might be the least self-aware poster in Games.

Seriously this is loving incredible.

There's quite a number of posters that fit this bill. That's why we've had some very fun threads, this one included.

This is the State of Games thread is it not? Where we are supposed to discuss the state of Games. So, this is the place to bring up recent trend in the forum, is it not?

Except this trend you're talking about only exists in your feeble mind. Are you really this daft?
