orlouge82 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 So, I've spent the majority of any time I spend on Internet forums at OCR, and I think that I've gotten a bit spoiled by how polite and respective the community is here. At some other websites, such as GameFAQs and MtG Salvation, I have been shocked by how rude and disrespectful some users have been, as though they can't help but jump at the chance to put people down. I mean, I know that they are probably a bunch of dipshit little kids, but, like I said, I have probably just been spoiled by the level of maturity at OCR that it has been a shock to my system to venture to other Internet forums. Anyhow, I just wanted to say that I appreciate the attitude and atmosphere in these forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Definitely agreed, I'm a big advocate for communities based on mutual respect & civility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyhow, I just wanted to say that I appreciate the attitude and atmosphere in these forums. I have to remember this every time I go to KVR forums for anything. Those people are some of the rudest, least helpful and most arrogant pricks I could mingle with in the world of online music. OCR is definitely steps above pretty much everything else, and even when I have issues with people on here, I always have to remember it's better than anywhere else on the internet. Definitely agreed, I'm a big advocate for communities based on mutual respect & civility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DusK Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 I'm in agreement as well. I've been a part of so many forum communities over the past decade that I wouldn't even bother trying to count them at this point. This place really is better than all of them.

Cash Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 In my experience OCR has one of the better forum communities. Maybe something about VGM encourages respect. Even when I've come across the occasional rude person here, the person usually apologizes or just leaves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orlouge82 Posted November 29, 2013 Author Share Posted November 29, 2013 Glad to hear that it's not just me. I hope OCR can continue to "spoil" me with a community of respect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamphibious Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Yeah OCR has a pretty great community, compared to most other forums I've stumbled upon. The only other forum I ever hung around much was friendcodes.com back in the day, I had a friend who was an admin on the site and I was a moderator for a period of time. People were generally really nice and cool around there, so I guess I've just been lucky! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get laughed out like the killer studio chops guy... or anyone who is critical of OCR in a new thread... that's the dark side of OCR But for the most part it's pretty good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkomega99 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 MSPA forums is one of the better ones available online, its the only other one i frequent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixelPanic Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 (edited) I posted non-remix music to a non-music forum and got responses like "I don't like the genre" or "it's good!" :I Not a criticism in sight. MSPA forums is one of the better ones available online, its the only other one i frequent. I...r-really? For such a bad rep Homestuck fans have gotten and how dense the community must be, that impresses me.

Rozovian Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Anyhow, I just wanted to say that I appreciate the attitude and atmosphere in these forums. Yeah, we try. I mean, I know that they are probably a bunch of dipshit little kids We can try harder. Seriously though, I think it's something that's very much a result of staff, veterans and frequent posters being cool people, as well as an effect of the respect people have for the people who make the music here.

Frederic Petitpas Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Many virgin geeks don't have the balls to be rude here. But it's caused by a LACK of maturity. [i'm just kidding] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damashii!! Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 some of you mofos are making it sound like it's an apocalyptic warzone out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SystemsReady Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 some of you mofos are making it sound like it's an apocalyptic warzone out there. Two forums I can think of that are totally 100% apocalyptic warzones are the Sega of America forums and Dogs on Acid. The former being a seething hive of annoying trolls and the latter being thankfully dead now (karma biting them back after they treated Pendulum like crap for the crime of branching out).

Darkomega99 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I...r-really? For such a bad rep Homestuck fans have gotten and how dense the community must be, that impresses me. mmm, I suppose that depending on where you hang out at on the forum, you may run into more of the rabid fans, but overall, everyone there is pleasant, especially in the general chat and media subforums where discussion is focused on those rather than MSPA. Of coures, maybe I just happen to be where all the pleasant people are around there, I dont know. And of coruse, you can find people who are respectable and mature wherever you go, although its harder in some places compared to others.

Tex Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Time to be hostile around these parts. U SUCK ^ the best I can do ;_; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melbu Frahma Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Yeah, gotta say, I've been on half a dozen forums over the years, and OCR takes the cake by lightyears in terms of community. And pretty much every other terms, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
