Why is everyone in forums such niggers

Aren't those just women, fags, or animefags? Those are the only people I know who purposefully fake laugh at everything/anything.

You missed the point that literally 99.99999% of discussion on the internet about display technology is this exact same bullshit. But anyway the point of the thread was how forums in general are filled with morons repeating the same falsehoods and circlejerking, and the 3 guys with any negative sentiment (which is required to refute any of the said falsehoods) you see in the odd thread are all banned. Especially when it comes to any kind of consumer review, people make a 600 page thread about each product and most of the information there about the actual product ranges from completely useless to shilling/harmful. Now back to display tech since that's what I'm currently researching, your typical post from before the 120Hz LCD days was
And typically this post is wrong on all accounts aside from brightness which is useless.

It's because forums cater to namefags who are always concerned about their reputation. They have to be right and knowledgeable about every subject and if they don't know anything about it they think 15 minutes on wikipedia makes them an expert. They build up a reputation over 10,000 posts and then they refer to it like it gives their arguments weight.

Meanwhile the admin/owner is living the high life off ad money he makes off the 20+ forums he's running and selling/trading with the other faggots that hang out on webhostingtalk. That's why you never see him posting casually/outside of "community news threads" and his private circlejerk forum where all the "staff" hang out.

Pretty much this. I hope something like Freenet FMS obsoletes web forums. But how do you explain how every forum has tons of banned users who have thousands and tens of thousands of posts? I think at the end of the day the mods will just ban everyone. I've never found a real reason, all I can imagine is just:
Even going back to forums I used in the early 2000's, I looked up all the guys I remember who got banned and couldn't find a real reason for why they were banned.

Absolutely this. Any time I look at an old thread on some forum, posts with "banned" in their poster's username are invariably the most intelligent.

Every time.

Newfags and SJWs invaded and google's TOS changed and the admin rule cucked to save his ad revenue. The old users get mad and finally say fuck it and go on a rampage. The new SJW mods ban them and go on to totally kill the forum.

That or one of those political/hot button threads that went 100 pages got posted and the flame war resulted in one side of the argument getting banned. It happens on every forum.

I forgot to mention: oldfags will attempt to organize an exodus when the rulecucking happens through private messages. The admin can read them because they are in plain text and many people end up banned for that. There is also the issue of high rate posters being pedos or sending creepy messages to the girl (trannys) that come to the forum. Plenty of people get the ban hammer for that as well, you'd be surprised how often this happens.

Despite all the faggotry surrounding forums it was actually possible to make some friends through them. Sure it often degenerates into ridiculous drama that kills everything but I sometimes wonder if it's somehow worth it. You feel like you're part of something, you know?

Oh come on. You're telling me people are retarded enough to organize via private messages? Back in 2005 or so I was part of a forum that forked twice and nobody was dumb enough to believe private messages were actually private. We did it all via MSN messenger. The board wasn't even technology related since it was just a specific anime/video game series fansite that turned into a social circlejerk for the regulars.

Also, creepy messages being an issue depends on the forum. Nothing could top my forum's shitty erotic fanfiction section. I actually wrote one back then when I was a retarded 13 year old kid, and got inexplicably messaged by a 13 year old girl who liked it. This led to cyber and eventually becoming an e-couple. It was fucked up

Not only are the retarded enough to do it they'll cry to anyone that listens how horrible the admin is for reading them and swear they'd never do such a thing. A few years later they're the admin reading through PMs because something got reported to them. Most users are absolutely retarded.
Anime/video game forums seem to have a larger number of Zig Forums people on them due to the genres requiring basic knowledge of computers. Well, anime probably isn't like that now but back when I spent a lot of time on web forums (96-2006) people that watched anime were primarily getting it via fansubs which required at least being able to use IRC and later torrents.
