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.

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

Direct quote from the other thread:

A quick perusal of the front page...
"Mama Nana's Bistro & Capital City of F7: Part IV "
"Nap's Boozery...Now with *hic*....alcohol poisoning "
"How popular/famous is the person above you?2 "
"kill using three words "
"Guess what the flag above you represents. "
"Tell A Lie About The Person Above You "
"Rate the Flag above you II "
" Would you want to destroy the nation above you. "

RPs and "say x about the x above you" threads? I'm alright, thanks.

I think that covers it.

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.

Signal to noise ratio is out of whack.

NSG contains at least a core group of people who aren't virgins.

While in principle I agree with you, projecting your own sexual frustrations on other posters isn't necessarily constructive.

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

I looked at F7 once, and saw that it full of everything that annoys me the most about teenagers on the Internet, and then closed the tab.

I don't hate it, it's just not my thing, mostly, much like II or any of the other forums aren't my thing either. The only thread I've been remotely interested in is the Picture Thread. Most threads in NSG don't tickle my fancy either, I just ignore what I'm not interested in.

Away And Post Three Words About A Thing.

I don't hate it, it's just that i dislike it, as i don't seem to understand that there are many other websites, and I usually feel annoyed by F7, as if it was their own website.

Hmm. I certainly enjoy F7, being a somewhat known Forumite of said 7. Sure, its a dirty cesspool. Buts its our dirty cesspool. And I wouldn't rather be anywhere else when not in RP mode.

That and the fact just from reading this thread, it seems that the Generalites are a bit on the stiff side. I picture them as the generic aristocrat type. Chin always in the air, monocle, forest-sized stick in a place in which it should most likely not be, etc.

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.

NewNick has that aristcrat thing covered pretty well in II

I like all forums equally. F7 is my fun little play thing(see sig, Pan FTW!), II is my adventure realm(I do so love acting high and mighty every once and a while) and General is my seriousness zone. Hell, I even read Moderation threads for shits and giggles every once and a while.

So enjoying ourselves is bad?

Proof?

Hey man, monocles are stylish, if I don't keep my chin up I might accidentally mingle with the unwashed, and the stick gives me something to sit on.

Actually, unlike General, F7 only has nine or so pages because the Mods prune away threads after seven days. Or something like that.

I have to go, will argue with you in a few hours.

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

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

Honestly I simply don't think about F7 very much. I visited once or twice in the early days, found it rather lacking in humour or other redeeming value and went back to NSG.

In truth, I don't hate anything. There are things I like (which I mock and belittle constantly) and things I don't like much (which I ignore when possible). I'm sure you'll all be lovely people once you're out of puberty or something.

Yes. They never liked it when I pointed out how similar they were to prominent Generalites I knew, since NSG is so elitist yet stupid and a waste of bandwidth and generally bad.

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

Just make sure your chin is all the way in the air, if you're going to be proper about it. Just keep your mouth closed, you never know when bird shit might land in there. Especially during manbird season...
