Why does everyone think of Gamefaq's borad negative. I've never visited much so I am curious if it's reallly that bad. I prefer to stay away from a lot of negativness/BS on forums that are out of control.
A lot of it is asking the same questions every day, it contains millions of unfunny joke topics, rick rolls, rumors, and flat out lies. For example, every week on the Chrono Trigger section of the GF boards you're guaranteed to have at least one thread stating Chrono Trigger is a ripoff of Final Fantasy, five threads asking how to beat Giga Gaia/Golem Sisters/Melphyx/Magus/Zeal, two threads asking about getting stuck in the first time portal (Anti-piracy measure that a lot of hong-kong bootleg copies get stuck with), four threads complaining about a character's techs, and every thread bringing politics into the discussion.
