| This is just an observation, but I went over to the CGC chat boards for the 1st time today just to read what's going on over there. The Detective Comics #359 topic is also being discussed there. Anyway, theres a lot of negative crap over there. It's borderline toxic. That is all.  |

| If you stay out of Comics General, it's a good place. There are some real keyboard warriors in the General section who I'll guarantee are pansies in real life. I usually hover around the Silver and Bronze sections and it can be pretty informative. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Studley_Dudley Thanks for that! Admittedly, I didn't stay there very long. It felt very different there compared to this forum here from what I did see. Thank you for your perspective. |

| I read through thread over there and have never posted due to how toxic they are. I tend to get pretty irritated quickly, when I see that kind of crap start leaking in over here as I much prefer topics to be about comics and the hobby. | ||

| I left several years ago. One day I had had enough and just stopped posting. I've logged back in to post in a couple of PMs once or twice over the years, but that was it. I met some people who became really good friends, some people I thought were really good friends, some people who were just friendly to your face, and some people who really weren't very friendly at all. I can't fault it as it was fun while it lasted, but I have no current interest. The Golden Age, for me, has ended. |

| I lurk over there. The long-winded posts by certain windbag posters make it difficult to wade through threads. Those posters tend to enjoy vomiting prose onto the internet. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by GAC It is toxic. If I wanted to engage in flame wars and fine tune my meme creation abilities I could hold my own and put some of their prolific posters in check. I joined the group to talk comics and share knowledge about comics. Since the great posts were few and far between, I requested that my profile be removed. I am no longer a member there. |

Quote:Originally Posted by GAC I'm sure I did. It would be a great place if I wanted to talk about myself. I was becoming so well known that just by posting, all the threads would derail into talking about me. I don't bow down to intimidation, but watching the attempts are just boring after awhile. |

| What they do have is a huge community (in terms of sheer #'s) but the quality is suspect. | ||

| I've never posted over there but i've read what seems like the simplest of honest questions being piled on like rabid dogs on a bone. It's crazy that you can't even ask a question without being maligned. | ||

| I started checking out their forum again two weeks ago. To find they reset my posts back to zero. Even though I have the same user name and password. Even old posts from five years ago I posted are still there. But I generally post in the silver age forum there. And I do enjoy the forums here personally.  |

I remember starting out on the cgc forums. Everyone was a flat out a**hole. You try (and want) to learn and you just get ripped on for asking honest questions. That's why I left years ago....well that and all the crap that cgc pulls. It was such a lousy experience that I had all my cgc slabs regraded to CBCS. Yeah, I took a few hits on grades but I'm much more proud to have the CBCS brand on my books. CBCS to me is much more than just the core company but this forum as well. I have learned an incredible amount in the last 2-3 here. It's been a safe place to ask questions (no matter how many times they have been asked before) to buy books and even joke about writers, directors etc. I've said it many times, but again Thank you to all the members that make this hobby fun and take the time to answer questions and share their years of experience and knowledge.  |
