GameFAQs. It was my first message baord, and it gets wayyyy too much hate on GAF. A lot of the posters I've met are both hardcore, and nice.

It was one of my first message boards as well, but honestly the trolling is so hideous. At least from what I remember when I posted there frequently. I still drop a post here there once in a while though. Some of the individual game boards are ok, namely older ones.

Gametrailers I posted on quite a bit before I came to GAF, but again the quality is just terrible and the forums werent active enough anyway.

So yeah mainly just GAF. I also post on the HSX forums for movies, great place for film news. Some rare posts on CAG. There is another forum that I post on that is basically a very small community forum, like 10-15 active members, it started as a gba forum that was spinoff of gbatemp, but has gone through a number of different names over the years. Obviously lost people over the years, all thats left is just a small group of us who have known each other for like 10 years. Originally my first forum too. I think we are upgrading to a new site again, so that should be interesting.
 
I frequent Bungie.net (Creators of the Halo Franchise, now working on a new IP) and a smaller gaming forum (2000-4000 members)
 
I want to post on something awful, their humor content is less restrictive than GAF but not completley annonymous like 4chan. A nice medium

The only reason im not doing it is because I think its bullshit to have to pay for a membership.

You can and will get banned for basically anything. I don't know if I'd say they're less restrictive.
 
Nope that would be cheating.

I will die posting on GAF.
Hopefully i will never be permabanned
 
I checked out that Bad Cartridge site in the OP...

21 individual boards. Jesus. Imagine if you were interested in most of the subjects, navigation would be a fucking nightmare.
 
Even when I lurked GAF for like a year and a half, I knew when and if I got in, I wouldn't leave, pretty much have like zero complaints, and GAF has it's own little sub-GAFs that have good peoples in each. Word to HaloGAF, KanyeGAF, GAF-Hop, MvC3GAF and more, good peoples.
 
Staredit.net for my Starcraft mapping needs is what I used to use a lot, but Starcraft I mapping died a long time ago, so I just browse GAF now.

Gamefaqs was decent before they fucked up the design when they merged with CNET. But plenty of memories there, both in my regular and trolling mode.

Really? I have a friend and hes always described it as 4chan lite
I don't know, from my experience they are very loose with the banhammer. I mean not everything will get you a perma, but they definitely aren't lenient. Just look at the Encyclopedia Drammatica article about SA, they have a whole section about ways to get banned. It's pretty funny.

So it's like GAF?
 
Sometimes I post on Disboards.com because I'm a WaltBoy. Once in a blue moon I'll comment on Slashdot or BoingBoing. But GAF is where most of my meagre posts go to be ignored.
 
I use to post on a local board that was connected to a couple of bars, but it was mainly a hang out for local people to chat about stuff. I don't go there like I use to though.
 
I occasionally post on Nerd Mentality. Their forums are basically a pit now where only people who started posting there in 2002 remain. (I am one of those people.)

years ago I posted on N-Philes all the time
It's known as Nerd Mentality now.
 
Since coming to GAF I haven't had a need to go to any other gaming forum. People here are just so much more mature and actually enjoy having a discussion about something as adults. Can't really say that for the majority of gaming forums out there.

When it comes to other topics, sure. I visit the Swedish underground forum flashback.org pretty regularly, but I hardly ever write anything there. They have pretty much every topic you can think of there, but also a lot of immature people. Since they have pretty much every topic there, that's the only other forum I visit regularly.

Used to be a regular on Sweclockers.com's forum but it kinda lost it's charm over the years. Most regulars that I liked stopped visiting for some reason, so so did I.
