Unlike many of the forums i have seen for games this one is as good as it gets. My son visits many of the Diablo II and LOD forums. They are full of loud obnoxious people ( mostly teenagers ) speaking hacker speek and jargon only 3 other people understand.
I have been reading post here for several weeks and nobody name calls or blows anyone off. There are a lot of posts I don't read about quests until I have finished the quest. The only exception so far was how to escape from the House of Madness. I didn't feel bad in spoiling that one because I would not have found the answer on my own.
I have been enjoying this forum almost as much as the game.
Well, I've been to many forums as well (including visiting but never posting at the Diablo forums). This forum is indeed a lot nicer than those, it's also why I'm still posting here once in a while really.
Now, I don't want to insult anybody, so don't take this personal, there's always exceptions after all, but most people here, are European (actually, read: Non-Americans). I'm sure there's sites where the majority is American that are also mature. Yet somehow, many gaming forums, where the majority is American, there's a large group of them either being loud and obnoxious, or loud and ignorant. Luckily not all Americans are like that of course, I've got a few with whom I talk on MSN a lot for example. But I think that overall, forums with more non-americans tend to be more civilized/mature than forums where (mostly teenage) Americans visit.
Of course, I could be wrong, but it's just the impression I got. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />
