RC Exodus of Experts

digital-audiophile · #1 01-13-2006, 03:31 PM

I spent a couple years as a moderator on the IGN.com forums (The largest video game message board system on the net) and allthough I had fun, most of it really was like work. I put up with a lot of crap and abuse from people an I think that is the biggest reason why I left and really got off the internet message board systems for a long time.

Was stated earleir...

No haven't seen it quite so boldly stated - but we did see that kind of comment from some of the RC'ers. Luckily us canadians have a bit more tact it seems

Unless you are from Taber. (just kidding)

I joined RC and Canreef at around the same time in '04. I have like 60 posts on RC. It was actually someone from RC that reccomended me to Canreef because I was looking for a more close to home, personal touch to the information I needed. No regrets either way, I just found Canreef a more effective source of information for me. Plus the added bonus of frags swaps and meetings which would not be possible through RC.

IMO we have great "experts" here, and of course there's always Bev's links to help us when we are stumped.

I think you made a spelling error there, Danny. Don't you mean "sumped"?

HaHa. Ya, I know. Corny.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I think one of the factors that keeps Canreef more civil than other forums is that we are not entirely anonomous. Many of us have met at frag swaps and through individual trades and sales. When you have met someone face to face, you have a bit more consideration towards them and their opinions.

So the experts are on marinedepot.com forum for anyone who didn't know.

Not entirely understanding what happened on RC, all I know is what I read in this thread. I do frequent RC, I used to frequent it more than canreef, but I've simply found canreef to be a more friendly community than any other forum.

The search function on RC, for regular(non-paying) users, works between something like 1AM and 8AM. Whenever I am on late, such as around 2AM, I have been able to use it.

I would like to point out that, throughout this thread, everyone has throw opinion in, but just about every post ecourages or includes a good laugh. We all have our own thoughts, experiences, preferences, opinions, etc... but something that seems commonly shared on this wonderful forum is friendlyness and humor.

Cheers,

Chris
