| Maybe not the worst, but probably one of the worst. MAL doesn't seem to be as bad as some other anime communities though. |
 |
| I used to post on somewhere called rsc many years ago although basically all the runescapers were ~15 the community was pretty chill and there wasn't any trolling (cause that wasn't in fashion) or stuff like that. much better than here for intelligent discussion too-talk about the civil war, revolts, stuff like that was pretty fun over here most people make assumptions w/o sources and there are a lot of elitists |

| As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all. |

I assume MAL's average age is around 18-19, while I assume the other's is around 21-23. One is better than the other, therefore theory proved. Statistics, who needs them? |

| No, try a MOBAfire game. Or video games in general. She must be new to foruming then if she thinks anime forums are bad... she hasn't seen anything yet. |
| I don't think it's the worst. People where quick to receive me here with a warm welcome. If MAL is anything it's opinionated, but that's why I joined in the first place :) |

| The only community worse than MAL would be XBL or PSN lobbies. Nothing but a bunch of douchebags in one zone |

Post-Josh said: shairn said: Post-Josh said: I'm willing to consider a bell curve on that theory.Pretty much. The older the average age, the better the community. I'm basing my theory on two communities. I assume MAL's average age is around 18-19, while I assume the other's is around 21-23. One is better than the other, therefore theory proved. Statistics, who needs them? You know what, I think it may be a bell curve. I think the peak age is probably mid-teens. The only other forum I visited with a similar to age to what most anime forum members would be was a forum for high school/A-level students, TSR. It was awful, I think a lot "young adults" just get to an age where they think no one knows more than them, it's about 16-17 y/o's, imo. lol. |

| I think political forums might be worse. |

| Gamefaqs has some of the worst communities I've ever seen. I have fun seeing people having a flame war. |

| Video game community is way worse than the anime one. Trapalicious said: http://www.stormfront.org/forum/ Need I say more? Didn't know about this forum. Holy shit. Some posts made me sick. |

| MAL is definitely a lot better than video game communities. Well the only exception being maybe the smogon community (Pokemon fans might know this). Anyways, most video games forums are filled with trolls and flamers ready to harp on every single thing you post. I find it infuriating to be on them, so I stick to lurking on those forums. |

| No. Anime communities aren't friendly in general, but they're definitely not the worse. Video games and politics forums are far worse imo. Also, I think MAL is one of the friendliest anime communities. |
 |
| No. Videogames forums are worse. |

Trapalicious said: http://www.stormfront.org/forum/ Need I say more? I was just thinking about some nazi forums. Those things are disturbing. |
Yvese said: Nah man, the worst community is by far this one. Heh, I've actually been there before and though it looks bad quite a few of the members spend their time disapproving the flat earth theory instead of supporting it. But still, crazy place. |

| Have you ever been in the IMDb forums? 90% of the threads there are troll threads. I got used to it and post from time to time, but the moderating activity is almost non-existent. MAL is not the best community I have ever found, but considering its problems, among them the lack of discussion at the anime part of the board and the repetition of the same threads over and over, I have to say it is a pretty nice place, and much better than some of the forums I've been into. It takes something to make me stay for two years and write more than 1,000 posts in one place. I think I can only say the same about three or four more sites on the Internet. |
| I'd say anime forums have the weirdest and most awkward users. |

| I think it's probably more likely that she isn't used to the internet. Because this community is generally nicer than most others, especially as she is a girl. You still get assholes, but they are everywhere. |

| Well, I also have no interest in cars, so I would need at least a small level of interest in the topics to keep following them. |
