Serious question. Anyone else ever frequent the boards over there? If you don't then you're probably better off. Trolls EVERYWHERE! >.< Mods don't do jack, and for some reason no one can ever follow the golden rule of never feeding.
It's a shame because it could be an awesome place for mature gaming discussion. Anyone have any thoughts? Anyone seen the kind of crap I'm referring to?

It hasn't been a mature place since the late 90's. See it all the time, some of it is funny like many of the topics in the SSB and Pokemon boards but there's a bit of just plain pathetic topics in the FPS boards especially CoD and Halo.

I don't frequent those boards but I'll take your word for it. I will say don't even THINK of trying to go to the WiiU boards. It's just a giant headache. Someone needs to nuke that board because it's a warzone.
I go there to try and get info on the system because I'm somewhat interested in one day maybe getting one. But it's just a pain in the A. Trolls bashing that thing like it's a punching bag.

The stuff you talk about goes on at all forums with multiple mini communities its very common. Problem with calling out GF is they are the ones that make the GF guides that people use so no not all them are bad or trolls its the extremes that have time on there hand but instad of help someone they will act out on the internet for 0 real world points. I have met a few devs on those boards and givin feed back on the game and some times helped not every board is crazy like you see.
There are many smaller communities and those tend to be very nice because they are always looking fof members its those that dont need members that dont care.

Once a community gets so big these issue arise. Also, once mods start letting things go the nice members start an exodus and all you have left are people who like a combative aggressive negative place.
Hopefully we can keep SIA, with its niche focus and quality members, positive and supportive.

The users are just too easy too troll. They're also too hasty to label dissenting opinions as trolling.
The age minimum being 13 years old doesn't help either, since 13-year-olds tend to be the lowest life-forms on the Internet. <_<

Very late to reply but whatever. Yeah, once a community becomes pretty big, there will be a lot of those that are idiots and stuff.

Back in the 90's, the site was all fun and I've been active to respond in any boards/FAQ making. After CJayC left (I think SailorBacon now runs the site), I don't know what the hell happened so now it became a home for the nonsense trolls and smart-asses.
Before and that site was the sole good reason I went into guide making: because of Kao Megura.
I still remember that GameFAQs does NOT want to have an affiliation with Gamespot, I just can't remember when was that though.

Ya, most posts in GameFaqs are full of well you know and less responsible ones like all of us here in SIA. Example, the FPS fourms where they act all, "You bad, got lucky" or "Face me one on one and I will beat your ***." Stuff like that is annoying and some are a-hats, and do not get me started in FPS's online, you got all 12 year olds and its funny when they talk garbage and cannot back it up .

We call those kids squeakers. It's a nickname for them.

Ah yes, the squeakers or as I like to call them, the crybabies, nuisances or just immature brats, more lolz if they are older ones! I just tell them to go back to the Squeaker Squad and enjoy their cheese!
