Worst forum is facepunch wtf can't even put my clans banner as my siggy
Best: Something Awful Worst: 4chan 8chan MyAnimeList NeoGAF And also, any MLP and Furry forums as well.
It depends on what you think "best" is. Based on your definition, you may find the BodyBuilding forums to be legendary for sincere awfulness.

facepunch and facepunch
facepunch is passable i guess screwattack is shit and dead af cm.o is really good, but the people are shit ucollective would be really good if it wasnt dead i dont visit many forums tbh
Best: Skyscraper City Worst: Facebook
[QUOTE=Itachi_Crow;49226823]Worst forum is facepunch wtf can't even put my clans banner as my siggy[/QUOTE] facepunch made me disable banners and signatures on any forum I register (if they have 'em)
Stormfront for worst
[QUOTE=rampageturke 2;49227081]4chan and 8chan arebt forums[/QUOTE] Ah okay. Still they're a shithole anyway.
[QUOTE=varg666;49229437]Well they're still a shithole anyway.[/QUOTE] only mostly but not completely can't speak for 8chan though
[QUOTE=ImpSnob;49229442]only mostly but not completely can't speak for 8chan though[/QUOTE] 8chan is twice the shithole that 4chan is
Most of Reddit. Even a lot of the 'good' subreddits are completely trashed by the whole "lie for le internet points" crap.
Ok what another forum that isnt something awful, that isnt reddit, or one of the chans for some one to chat in that is populated and some what decent?
[QUOTE=SuperPlamz;49229507]Most of Reddit. Even a lot of the 'good' subreddits are completely trashed by the whole "lie for le internet points" crap.[/QUOTE] Yeah I only ever go on there to find news about niche shit I like. Most threads are just shitty puns trying to get le upboats and saying anything slightly negative will get you showered in downvotes. It's super shit for actually trying to discuss things.
c-t is great for fashion tigs is great for gamedev neogaf is good for videogames metafilter seems decent but i havent really browsed too much there reddit can be great or complete shit depending on the sub
The deviantArt forums can get pretty bad. Very active though.
[QUOTE=ImpSnob;49229336]Stormfront for worst[/QUOTE] Stormfront can be hilarious at times though, in the same way alex jones is. tbh the only really awful forums I can think of having been on were the ones for gmod/css/minecraft server groups, which can tend to be full of powertripping admins and just bad people. That and derelict forums full of bots (rip exitmundi.nl)
Best: Facepunch and most of 4chan Worst: I dunno like 8chan or something
Best: Facepunch, 4chan, The one or two subreddits I go to, the one or two 8chan boards I go to. Worst: The rest of reddit and most of the top boards on 8chan, especially after the /pol/ exodus.
Best: SA Worst: SA
Best: Facepunch sans rust section. Worst: Halomaps, any clan forum ever. I hate to shit on Halomaps because it also has a good amount of people that want to help people learn the Halo engine, but the community in general is downright cancer. Constantly posting image macros, constantly flaming, elitism, thread hijacking, memes. That and it's all kept in control by one moderator. Not to mention the whole anti-Halo online brigade that paid us a visit here on FP a few days ago.
The worst forums I've been on have to be any Halo or Grand Theft Auto modding community forums, especially Halomaps and Halomods
[QUOTE=varg666;49139605]Here's the rules I made: • Don't post Anime/Furry/MLP here. • Please don't talk about your sex life. We don't want to know, thanks. • Don't diagnose people with mental illnesses on the internet forum. • Don't post porn or erotica (censored or not). And that same applies to anyone has cropped porn or erotica avatars. Keep it to yourselves. • Don't be a creep. • If you justify Child porn (drawn or not); Incest, and Paedophilia. You'll be gone permanently.

Honestly, SA bullied a furry to suicide and celebrates it. Without going into the darknet or something that makes them my worst.
Best: FP, for real. Facepunch has the most active programming community that is also small enough that I don't feel like I'm asking yahoo answers like on stackoverflow. I feel like there are a handful of people who could be called "Senir Developers" that, if I have a question, I can go to them for help. It's also no-hassle, no-bullshit. If there are arguments over dumb or petty shit in programming, people are quick to call it out and say "get back on topic". Nobody holds any grudges based on someone's opinion, and everybody genuinely wants to help other people as well as show off their accomplishments. I also like to go there because as someone with a bit of experience (but not senior-dev level), it's nice to be able to help people who have newbie questions that I found myself asking on facepunch years ago. It let's me know how far I've come at what I do and I like the feeling of giving back to the facepunch community. I think SH is a pretty formulaic forum, though. The same people post the same words on the same new articles every single day. Gun control topic comes up, and you can expect all the same people from the LAST gun control topic to repeat themselves. Likewise, you can expect all the europeans to repeat themselves on their talking points. Nobody there is changing their minds on anything, so I rarely see the point. Gmod and Rust and videogame forums are great because all the 10 year olds are attracted to it. Worst: I fucking hate the reddit community. I love the site as a link aggregate, but I think the people who comment on reddit are some of the cringiest, hive-mindiest, least original people on the planet. Things that are funny on reddit: Image Macros, cats, beards, bacon, beer. You know how your relatives are all on facebook now and the shit that they post on facebook isn't funny? That's what reddit is turning into. I personally dislike most of the default subs. /r/pics is horrible (see: /r/no_sob_story). /r/funny is like, 5% funny. I unsubscribed from Advice_animals a while ago, and I'm shocked it took so long for them to un-default /r/atheism from reddit, simply based on how fucking stupid and cringey its users were. I mostly use reddit now for /r/cscareerquestions, /r/programming, /r/learnprogramming, /r/askreddit, and [sp]porn[/sp]
Facepunch has made me almost universally resent most other forums. Something Awful seems pretty comparable, but I only go there to read up on some articles. The actual community is full of shitty people, in short. I was here back when smartness was a thing, I expect people to have decent enough grammar and spelling. I understand if you're on a phone and a lazy fuck, but I'm not a fan of seeing posts like: "yeh i agree with you fam tbh" Which are pretty rare here. Facepunch also has the blessing of: - No Signatures - No Arbitrary Font Fuckery Enabled (especially resizing) - No Image Macros or needless images in discussion threads. - Few In-Jokes - Avatars aren't offensively sized. - Easy on the eyes, color and layout wise. - Sections to dump off the trash that would pollute other sections. [sp]Rust[/sp] Moderators are [I]usually[/I] pretty agreeable, even if they've done exceptionally dumb shit [sp]Craptasket[/sp] or had questionable bans, people [I]usually[/I] aren't permabanned without reason. The got rid of MaxOf2STDs, so that makes up for all their past wrongs. I try to look into the official forums for some games I enjoy, and it's usually miserable. Made a few good friends here, too.
Any forum that you go to for information and the answer just gets lost in a flame war EVERY TIME I hate those
I'm looking right at it.

I did pay my 10 bux but I only lurk SA, I think I've posted like, twice. So my name would fit on SA but not here.
