Same my first account was in late 1999. I've noticed a serious decline in the mental state of the average poster. There used to be stronger personalities all over. People also used to write up these amazing faqs on their games, it seems like that's not as common anymore. But go look at faqs for say star ocean 2, vagrant story, final fantasy tactics. There are labors of serious love in there, hours of dedication from "average" posters. Sometimes I feel like the quality of gaming has gone Down. If you look at original playstation , it's like one great game after another, over and over. Nowadays , what the f*** , these games play themselves. I can't stand final fantasy anymore

Yeah I agree with you both on content and user mentality here. There are still cool enough people on here I can conversate with. But its one of the reasons why I dont post here too much. Way too often on GFaqs you get unneccesarily hostile replies, trolls, and other immature foolish behavior. People try to start up arguments over the tiniest of things. Respectful, intelligent discourse is too much of a rarity.

I feel like its gotten worse over time. I can't tell if its legitimately gotten worse in reality or maybe my perception of it has been altered and I am more aware of it due to maturing. One of the reasons why in my adult years, I have one foot in Gfaqs and one foot in Reddit. Which honestly reddit has got its crappy users too, I'm afraid the internet in general suffers that issue. But it's "average" user seems a tad bit better then Gfaqs, depends on which reddit you go to as well.
