I am doing a test in three forums and THW is included.


Friendliness is the overall thing that will win the competition but feel free to post obscenely to ruin THW's reputation.


THW is up against

Newgrounds

Armour Games

(I must apologize to the mods beforehand for any spamming or otherwise stupidity caused by this thread.)

Test Over

The hive workshop has received a 8/10 score for overall friendliness.

This is due to the mass of determined moderators ever prowling through the forums and weeding out those few who would disrupt the peace.

Ok that was weird.

Newgrounds scored -2/10 due to the fact the first response to the great forum test thread was "Fuck you" and that half of the actual general posts are sexually oriented. That and there's no mods watching the general forum combined with everyone on there (About 88% to be exact) not able to even spell correctly let alone speak in anything but insults. And the thread disapeared somehow. Possibly the first act from the mods. Wow.

Armor Games: The forums are possibly even more numerous than THW they scored a massive 9/10 for their forums. They are the official winners of the unofficial test. Yay.

Newgrounds is a flash site, its not supposed to be a forum.

Random test by a random guy so I have no idea how you got those points.

"Newgrounds is a flash site, its not supposed to be a forum."-wereguy2

True, but neither is Armour Games. And to a certain extent THW isn't either.

I have no idea what armour games is, but it too sounds like it isnt a forum.
And you just kinda killed the whole purpose of this by saying that none of the forums your are rating are forums at all... -_-

For this to mean something, you should be comparing against WC3 campaigns, and some random dota clan forum.

Otherwise, we could go in the other direction. Compare against:
1. World of warcraft forums
2. somethingawful forums
3. A dead phpbb forum I'll host on a test server with no registered users and no posts.
