Quick Question

[farla]

Of the various pokemon forums, which do you think is the least intelligent? The sort who post teams of mewtwo, lugia, suicune, latias and tyranitar, then crow about how powerful they are? The sort who write OT stories about people that happen to have the same name? The sort who have RPG characters who have the above team, plus psychic abilities from Team Rocket experiments and a new pokemon who's stronger than all the legendaries combined? Where would you say is the worst?

Out of the major ones, I'd say it's either SPPf or PC. I can't quite decide. They can be equally horrific. PFU can get that way too as of fanfiction at least, though it's not nearly as bad due to lack of activity. (If you need links, I can give them to you. God bless you if your brain doesn't implode on either of the first two, especially SPPf.)

Of course, that's not including all the little Proboards/InvisionFree forums where the real idiots hang out. Googling for a single decent board hosted by either can be quite painful.

SPPf won the coin toss, so I'll go register there.

Well, my dear, I wish you luck. (You're not a masochist, are you? XD)

Don't think so. I seek out the stupid, but it's for purposes of mockery. Or, in the case of Reality, cannon fodder.

Ah. In that case, good luck and don't let your brain wander away from you around there. It can get lost in an endless abyss of incoherence and general stupidity. (I've seen proof.)

By the way, are you going by Farla on there, or have you chosen a different screen name (possibly to avoid any kiddie who might hate you for reviewing their badfic)? I'd like to read your posts sometime.

Since I'm asking for characters, I can't really go by a false name. If I'm asking permission, I should be the one asking. Plus I don't really want to use up my few pseudonyms on something that'll fall apart pretty fast (in five seconds, if someone asks to see the story where their characters are going).

The potential response is an issue, but really no good way around it. Anyway, it's strange, but much of the online forum hatred seems concentrated in people I've never encountered. Either those I've reviewed are too traumatized to mention it again, or else they're smarter about where they declare me the firstmost evil of humanity. (The main thing I'm worried about is people wrongly assuming I intend to use the characters for pure fanfic mockery...I do want those sues and twinks. They make up the majority of characters, so Reality should have a majority of them.)
