So I visited Reddit... Compared to PoE Forums

Another Solwitch thread!

Also, Reddit is more like Gameplay Discussion or Feedback and Suggestions. So, not a great difference. Maybe if you posted outside offtopic and general...

No. The forums are supposed to be informative. If you want entertainment, play PoE.

Fun?

If I want to have FUN, I play a game, go play some football or tennis, get drunk, have sex, watch Game of Thrones. I do not log on to the forums. I feel really bad for people using forums for fun; they must have a strange life.

Unfortunately, Reddit doesn't provide either of them.

I think the forums should and can be both fun and informative

Its was like being at the chess club in high school because you feel sorry no one attends... How I felt.

We had over 50 chess club members, about 480 students in the HS. It was still male dominated, about 70%.

They can be. What I believe they are going for is community fun...not fun at the expense of others. If the only fun to be had is at others expense, I would vote for shutting down the forum. Bullying should not be given a mode to operate.

I'm not saying the most delicate flower should be the calibration point of tone btw; I was in the military and can honestly say I've endured some things that make it quite difficult to offend me. I also don't expect others to conform to me. Civil norms should be the goal... And I'm referring to majority with that comment. Not the one off society where the c word is used as part of the blessing before supper. :)

I think people are going out of their way to find ways to beat the system.

GGG should modify their stance on gray area as 'tread cautiously and don't be surprised if you find yourself on forum vacation in a manner not consistent with prior moderation due to the subjectivity of it'.

Good conversation is surprisingly fun and unfortunately difficult to come by.
