What is the best forum you have ever been able to take part in? Reasons can include activeness of users, threads, and the user base as a whole (ie, kindess, knowledge of topics, and the deepness of posts). Or whatever else you think you should include. 
worst forum? my old mechwarrior clan forum. best forum? cgtalk, elysiun and mektek.
Worst forum? This one, by far. I mean, all these power hungry admins and mods patrolling 'round the clockā¦ Especially that theeth guyā¦ Man, heās an assā¦ He thinks heās so goodā¦ If he were here right now, why, Iādā¦ Ahā¦ Grrā¦
Got to hand it to him, with all the work he also contribute toward blender, heās very active.
hmm? do what jeeves? lol
The best forum I know of is CGtalk. The worst forum I know of is the Homeworld 2 clanās forum I once belonged to (I forget the name of the clanā¦ donāt worry you arnāt missing out)
Clan forums = bad.
Art forums = good.
nuf said.
:o
I was going to say the exact same thing. Not active at mektek anymore but they were awesome.
Oh, never been a part of cgtalk though.
Iām not going to go to gctalkā¦ it seems like āthe big cityāā¦ and elysiun is my hometown .
cgtalk seems too big to be friendly. It only is if you take part in a smaller part of the forum, like the daily sketch forum. All those guys seems to know each other and have funā¦I wish I could draw and participate
elysiun is/was the best imoā¦not that Iāve taken part in many forumā¦but it was pretty good back when blender was less popular. Now there are some people abusing their right of posting, and with each release I feel itās worst and worst.
by 2.42, I bet there will be another big ban. From a couple of people that already joined, some already piss me out just because I can read the stupidity theyāre writing in the forum -_-
[/rant]
elysiun is awesomeā¦
The free IGN boards are overrun by Satan and little teenage brats. Iāve ranted about them on here before. Guh! The Insider boards arenāt nearly as bad (I used to post on the GameCube Community board all the time), but my Insider subscription ran out in 2002 and I never renewed.
I visit SpinQuad (a LightWave forum similar to elYsiun in terms of community friendliness) from time to time. Itās pretty good.
I have registered at CGtalk, but Iāve never posted there. elYsiun is just so much more comfortable.
