other boards?

have you noticed a significant difference in the attutides of other people on other message boards?

considering how much drama goes on here, i think we all do a pretty damn good job respecting boundaries and respecting each other, a few spats here and there, but nothing really incredibly serious (as of late, knock on wood)

i sometimes look at the board for the Straight Dope and i find that they all seem to be a little stuck up for my liking, every time i post there's a barrage of rabid wolves at my heels ready to tear me to pieces, and god forbid i post a new topic, apparently you have to have prior consent before doing so.

i may have problems adjusting to a new person in my little group of friends, but geez, it's like i have the plague when i post on another board. also, i feel like i'm cheating on SG when i do that, so, i'll stop

i spend too much time on SG to bother with other boards.

other sites have message boards!?

I actually left almost all other boards because of the difference in the people. wuite a few other boards I used to frequent had pack dog mentality. it was ugly in comparison to the folks here....so I left them all and now lurk here. all the time.

You can find really good crowds at bbs.beck.com, flaminglips.com and thepolyphonicspree.com.

Beck's is the only one I read regularly, besides this one and Yahoo news and Cleveland.com

Most other websites/boards are free, where as the people here have a vested interest in this site, since we pay for it. Plus, this site is so well designed, it's a pleasure to post here, and you know the people here. It's a nice place.

SG is now the only reason I have internet..oh and msn messenger to talk to my family

I was totally gonna say the polyphonic spree one!

I'll vouch for the flips one, even though I don't post there very often.

I've pretty much avoided any and all messageboards since I've been on the Internet, SG being the notable exception.

This isn't my favorite board, but people here are very hip and funny. I learn a lot. And I can argue people with different politics without a dogpile from one side or the other.

I like my favorite board mainly because there are so many common interests among the members, and there's a huge reserve of knowledge on everything under the sun except for relationships and women. It's mostly men, and they seem to get divorced at a terrifying rate. That's why SG is so nice. Not just that chicks are largely in charge, but they're often very smart and cool as well. I like it a lot.

I know, I can't stand the mystery of Stockulas secret message board, either. I wish he'd tell us.

stockula doesn't want us taking all his divorced men away from him, obviously

You wouldn't be interested anyway.

Aaaaa! The suspense!

I think its a "My Little Pony" fansite.

marykateandashley.com?

crbodyjewelry.com?

stockulaiscool.com?

I truly am curious as to what the mystery board is...

god.......All this does is feed my ego. If you want to feed my ego more, please keep inquirib=ng about my favorite site. It gives me a rush and I love the attention.

These boards are actually much more full of spats and bickering than the other board i frequent. Though on the other board there is a common interest that we all share, its mostly informative, as opposed to a thread hijacking/humor contest i would also guess the average age on the other board is double what it is here.
Each has their ups and downs. Here i can swear or ask questions which would not be allowed on the other.

You sound so bitter.

Fine.. Leave us unsatisfied. heh.
