From my email of the day:

http://www.mikereedart.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=30138&sid=c4cb38670a25395056e7b84edb625cbb]link

In this thread, you post links to other fora that you deem fertile ground for a flame war and/or fora that are havens for particular flame warriors (i.e. breeding grounds). Once listed, it will be a simple matter to find new fora to practice your Flame Warrior skills.

I will begin:


The Elder Scrolls Forum: This forum is the official forum of the Elder Scrolls series of games. It is filled with fanboys. The smallest criticism of their beloved franchise can literally get a hundred posts in minutes. Their army of moderators, however, will shut down any thread like this in seconds. Their community (off-topic) section is home to innocence abused and those that pretend to be innocence abused to gain attention.

RPGCodex: Styles itself "The Disco Inferno of RPG sites" and is the home of expert trollers and evil clowns. Their favorite sport is torture, specifically, to torture the fan of any very popular role playing game, while glorifying games that have fallen into anonymity. Finally, it is nearly impossible to get banned on the forums, the worst I have seen is people will get the following instead of an avatar:

Dumbfuck!!!

Their forum seems impossible to troll or incite into a flame war. Look closer, and you will see their weakness, they hate fanboys with a passion. While they delight in causing trouble in, for example, the Elder Scrolls fora, they hate it when those same fanboys stumble upon their forum. Either pretend to be a fanboy, or lead fanboys to their site (which is hard to do in the Elder scrolls forum, since they delete all links to rpgcodex after one rpgcodex evil clown) commented on the wife of the ES lead programmers love of horses...

If people are going to run away crying just because we suggest they enjoy vigorous horse sex, they're just not going to get very far on the Internet, are they?

Nothing wrong with that eh fellas ?
while glorifying games that have fallen into anonymity.
This dumbfuck is way off his base, Arcanum is still the best and most popular rpg ever.

Nearly Impossible to get banned? Has there actually been anyone who has been banned here? I mean shit... there's gay porn, hentai, awful racist comments and every other awful thing you can think of here and I still see (and enjoy) these posters' presence here.

You're one of the over the top racist guys right? I get the racist guys mixed up with the she males lovers and hentai fans for some reason. :)

How'd you resolve it so that you were let back on here?

We would have fought the admins if they hadn't unbanned one of our own. Nicolai is a big part of the community that you can't just ban atleast not forever.

I guess they haven't checked out this thread http://www.rpgcodex.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=13151

Then they'll see this site is mearly an outlet for FPS fans who don't know shit about shit and really aren't that fond of rpgs and love to suck on big game corporation's ballsacks. This site is chok' full o' mainstream fanboy bitches.

Not realy, it didn't sell well and there are alot of people who don't know what Arcanum even means. The only game "glorified" here that is succesfull in the marketing buissness is Baldurs Gate which soled over 2 million copies and has become a sinonym with modern CRPGs.

The most well soled western RPG however, hmmm.... I think it might be Morrowind or Diablo they both soled aprox. 5.000.000 copies

atleast this is what wiki states

Mr. Wizard doesn't understand the proper use of parentheses. He fails at life.

Gotta get some more practice in on the horses....
