I am Beyond Power
I must say that I am finding that this opinion is being based on someone who A) has never been to a vs forums
or B) has never even tried to give them a chance.
While yes we do have our share of things that are spam and dupilactes and we have our little posts of of stupid people but every forum has these things.
I am speaking from first hand experience on t he Comic vs Forum. I know at sometimes it seems we go around in circles and our threads don't do much. But I will tell you this that the poeple there will surprise you and that for every thread is nonsense there are threads that will test your knowledge not only in comic books but in science and many of posters there really shine because of it.
We will threads were we descuss a persons powers and how they should work and what they are capable of. Visit one of those threads and I bet you will learn something new and if you don't think there are many there is normally at least one on the page.
What I'm trying to say is your view Vinny and others who want to see them close is not the whole picture and not even a small fraction of it. there is so much more whether it be educational and fun. Most of the posters there are very intelligent and can get into very great civil debates. Even those that aren't eventually become knowledgable and get better so even though a person may seem like they are making nonsense they learn over time and become better. I've seen it happen a number of times.
I my self go on and will chat inform and have a very good time when I go on the Comic Vs forum. I almost never see any of this intense bickering you describe or personal hatred most of the time those are caused by random people who know nothing of the subjects the they try and talk about or want to learn on them and those people are verywhere.
I will also say that it is run by 3 Mods all of whom do their job well and in fact keep the forum running smootly everyday and with the traffic it gets I think they do better than any other forum.
In fact we are so organized and civil we have started and are in the final stages of kicking off a tourny which by the way will be about the fourth we have run and obviously sine most of the people participating have been a part or entered those tournies I can honestly say they obviously had a good time.
Which by the way KMC is all about going unto a forum and particiapting and talking to other people about interests that you like. I honestly find myself willing to have an itelligent conversation over with how a certain character can beat another then going to a thread and "doing Something to the personabove me"
