Default Just an FYI if you want to know where all the trolls here are coming from

http://www.highdefforum.com AKA HD DVD heaven

They gossip non-stop about this site. The whole forum is infected with HD DVD fanboys and they're always talking about coming over here to troll.

Here are a few threads they've made about blu-ray.com:

12 page thread where they gossip about blu-ray.com- http://www.highdefforum.com/showthread.php?t=46678

http://www.highdefforum.com/showthre...ht=blu-ray.com

http://www.highdefforum.com/showthread.php?t=50708

http://www.highdefforum.com/showthre...ht=blu-ray.com


If anyone wants to come over there and join, it would be much appreciated. I feel like I'm the only Blu-ray supporter left on there.

And for all you highdefforumers reading this:

I'll pass on going over there, but thanks anyway! I also only visit the AVS HDM forums a fraction of what I did in the past. Let the red ants piss all over themselves over there, I can do w/o all the fanboy banter...


One thing I find humorous is that the HD-DVD camp stereotypes the BR camp as being a bunch of kids/gamers because of the PS3. I've it found quite the opposite. Many more juveniles seem to latch onto HD-DVD because that's what they can afford. 'Low rent' HD-DVD seems to attract more of the trailer-park consumers and the mentality that comes with it. The higher initial price of the BR players appears to filter out some of the disease at the door... at least the higher HW cost is good for something. In all fairness both sides have some sharp minds and some real idiotic fanboys, but HD-DVD seems to have collected many more of the later.

360 owners are the absolute worse when it comes to immaturity... and they make up 50% of HD DVD owners.

Yeah, I use to spend much more time at AVS, but the failure of the moderators to keep obvious HDDVD Nazi's out of the Blu-ray software and hardware forums has been... disconcerting.

The BD Forums at AVM$ are little better.
The Powers-That-Be over there have shown little inclination to keep out the Trolls.
There is about a dozen ring leaders that have been allowed to post since the creation of the Forums last year.
Because they have been allowed to post with impunity, their minions have been allowed to join the melee of FUD.

I rarely post over there anymore.

Well a lot of people here act like morons so I am not surprised we get shit talked. All busy and popular forms suffer from this though.

Ya do realize we kinda do the same thing?

We got this thread talking about highdefforum.

We got the off topic thread about AVS.

I mean really, it's not like we're really any better. :P

[ add ]
And no wonder they went HD-DVD exclusive, just imagine, if Megatron had the power of Blu-Ray.

wow, there are some sensible people over here! Isnt a forum about discussing topics? Isnt a forum about debate? I personally think they are. Therefore, why be part of a forum that bans everyone at the mere expression of HD DVD? You wont see people being banned at highdefforum for speaking up about BR- as a matter of fact it is always a welcome topic.

No one is banned here for mentioning HD-DVD. That's just nonsense.

Try discussing the positive aspects of Blu-ray over at AVS and see how long you last.

You might be surprised how many are getting banned for talking about HD DVD!

I dont go to AVS... period. I agree with what you said, and I think its just as rediculous over there.

It's not for talking about HD-DVD, it's for praising HD-DVD and badmouthing Blu-ray together.

That's a trolling combination. No forum survives that lets trolls flourish.

I LOVE HighDefDigests' forum. My best friend (View-it-blu) and I go there all the time, and you'd be surprised at what you can get away with. It's fun calling out all those Retarded Fanboys. I highly recommend it. They're so ignorant over there, and have totally lost a sense for all reality. Just take what they say with a grain of salt (which is all it's worth anyway), and just keep plucking away at their nerves. It's quite fun!

The folks who are banned are the folks trying to troll and rile up folks.

Simple as that. If you don't trust the moderators and adminstrators intent, that's fine, but well, don't expect much sympathy to your point of view.

And on that note, that's the extent of my participation in this thread, as derailing and distracting as it was.
