Vanderer Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Yeeeeeesh. That's nuts. Its hard to imagine it was so bad when things aren't so chaotic now.Sounds kinda fun, so long as the derailment was fun, that is.Then again, I've never been on a crazy forum.... I suppose if I suddenly had the urge to play call of duty 42 i'd find something like that eventually. Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh it was rather fun actually, but problem was when you actually needed some important opinion of others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snob Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Yeah i havent really seen much derailment on the forums lately.The number of new forumers has decreased. I suspect that it is the reason why the forums have been so stable. I'm going to predict that derailing is going to be a problem again when Don't Starve Together is released. Less noobies => Less derailing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palpetinus Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 It was old members being unsatisfied with new member's stupidness, simple as that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
