Why do people hate F7?

[Ceannairceach]

Isn't this actually the RPers complaint about General, since we're the heaviest traffic area?

Aye but they're terrible, terrible writers and deserve nothing but contempt.

Do you really want me to refute that with a prime example?

[OMGeverynameistaken]

F7 supports terrorism, whaling, and bisonomy.
It also ran over my dog.

[Vonners]

F7 is pointless, has nothing of interest to offer and impacts the performance of the rest of site by taking up bandwidth and storage. And seems to be inhabited by hormonal and pre-hormonal troglodytes who are just about capable of expressing their thoughts in a rational manner. On a good day. After rubbing one out.

So in essence its a mirror-image of every other forum on NS, and by extension large portions of the internet?

Don't go make me break out my monocle!

but yes

[Geniasis]

I truly don't understand why so many Generalites hate F7. I post on both F7 and General, and don't really hate either section, but quite a few people seem to hate F7 for some reason.

Give your reasons here.

I hate it because it's made General a worse place. It feels like anything remotely light-hearted gets shunted off to F7. This may not in fact be true, but the perception is there. So now General becomes a place that's less light-hearted than it was on Jolt. Which leads us to get angrier more, which is why all we do these days is snap and bitch at each other.

So, like an abusive alcoholic father, I come home angry and take my rage out on F7, which ruined General simply by being born through no fault of its own.

Feel free, but I'll bet that it'll be sub-Clancy dreck, probably with some unconvincing swearing.

[Wolny Kraj]

I didn't know that people hate F7. I would suppose they don't like the relaxed atmosphere and all the OOC.

[Vonners]

...and impacts the performance of the rest of site by taking up bandwidth and storage...

Do they? I wouldn't know..I don't do the whole RP malarkey to be honest. Still I bet they're all cads and bounders at any rate...

[Zetion]

Wow. Thats alot of hatred

You'll most likely hate this, but you must admit there are good writers here. It was archived.

You, at least, in all your joking, are honest.

The irony is that this thread may well end up being punted over as well.

[New Genoa]

I don't hate F7, I'm just more interested in the debates in NSG...why people would waste their time hating an internet forum that they aren't compelled to visit boggles me.

[Maurepas]

I don't have any particular problem with F7, I even like to go there on occasion. It's just too fast paced for me to keep up(I know, crazy, right?) so I don't go there as often as I used to.

[Norstal]

The irony of it all is that this will be either:

1. Locked.
2. Moved to F7 (if requested).

[Geniasis]

You, at least, in all your joking, are honest.

It is the best policy, they say. At any rate, while the simile was crude and insensitive, it certainly gets the point across.

Oh, good analogy.

It's a good contrast to how we were depicted as stiffy british men with monocles.

[Katganistan]

We've already explained that it's a shit hole due to being full of autistics, attention whores, and people experiencing severe existential angst.

It's the truth Kat.

[Alevuss]

I really enjoy F7. When I first joined NS, I posted a lot in General, but after a while, I decided I would go to the other Forums because General was getting a little boring. When I cam to NS, I enjoyed the less serious atmosphere it seemed to have, compared to General. I liked how you could make RPs, since I couldn't really find any RPs to do in Diplomacy, other than F&I. Since then, I've been trying to build up my RP skill a little by joining RPs there, since they have no effect on my post count or what goes on in my nation. Eventually, I becoming a regular with some RP'ers and I have a lot of fun with them. I don't post in most of the threads on the first page of F7, so, I don't really see any of what most people seem to hate about F7. I like the people here and I like the diversity.

Besides, I used to debate a lot and found it mostly wasn't really for me.

At least us autistics aren't ignorant fucks that can't stand fun.

And.... *** Warned for flaming ***
It's not really hard, guys. Be civil.

[The Blaatschapen]

Separating itself from NSG how?

EDIT-- I agree that F7 is pretty much a shithole, but that doesn't keep me from posting in it. And truly, it's only the lesser of two evils.

The bigger evil would be not posting in it?

[Katganistan]

F7 is pointless, has nothing of interest to offer and impacts the performance of the rest of site by taking up bandwidth and storage. And seems to be inhabited by hormonal and pre-hormonal troglodytes who are just about capable of expressing their thoughts in a rational manner. On a good day. After rubbing one out.

Proof?

It doesn't, actually. Unlike the other forums, when something's not posted to for seven days, it auto-deletes.
But let's not let the facts get in the way of our flamebaiting.

[Ifreann]

I largely ignore F7, much like I ignore the IC forums and the technical/moderation forums.

You Dickwad! I'm autistic! You say it like it's something to be hated.
