I will just warn everyone here not to enter TK in MyBB without wearing an asbestos suit...things really get HOT in there.

Asbestos is highly toxic. One could hypothesis that, due to the high asbestos content in the thread which, was offset buy the wearing of the suits, that the community there became the architects of their own destruction. Thankfully these days the suits are made from a chemically processed and compounded aluminium.
Back on topic, I left MyBB ages ago due to the sheer amount of "shit posting" and debauchery that occurs there. As stated prior, if you are not well known or popular then you will not be well received. Sometimes I think that 4chan and GAF are more friendly places.
[MENTION=17]MetalSoup[/MENTION] That's so true. Most members there aren't very friendly. Hardly ever go there these days.
Also religion it's like a religion war there. I'm not a hardcore gamer like most peeps here but I still prefer this forum over mybb!

I ventured into TK there once and didn't like it at all. I even attempted some posts in PD, but never ventured into CA.
Still, my activity on MyBB was telling - I have more than double the amount of posts there than I have here. Most of them were racked up in the Software & Web Development subforum though...
Ah, the heyday of my "upfront disclaimer"![]()

I post on both, with different posting styles - much more likely to come down hard on someone mybb side. Perhaps that points to a personality flaw?...not sure.
mybb crowd is a lot more aggressive on the whole though & to some extent the article writers go out of their way to keep that alive with controversial news articles that have a provocative (racial & political) slant to them. Meanwhile on mygaming the worst you get is people arguing about which console is the best (neither - PC master race!). That to me is the main difference in vibe & also why I (mistakenly) panicked about this thing.
Mygaming is too quiet for my liking though plus there are some really sharp okes mybb side...if you've been there long enough to know who is legit and what their area of expertise is & are willing to dig through a lot of BS.
You know you can make a bookmark to search *just* the software subforum right? (or any other combination of subforums)

Nah, the atmosphere isn't the same anymore. I guess the toxicity everyone mentions here has seeped through to that subforum as well. It's littered with know-it-all BBD employees.
I find StackOverflow much more rewarding these days - it gives you a great internationally recognised portfolio of knowledge.w
