I know I haven't been here for long, but during my experiences here (as in; lurking and posting every so often) I have noticed that this forum seems pretty normal, for the most part.
Thing is, I have seen every so often here people commenting on other internet communities complaining about Facepunch. Truth be told, I had never heard of any Facepunch hate before coming here.
So...why would/do people dislike Facepunch?
Also, please tell me if I am breaking some sort of rule by posting this here; I checked the general rules and there didn't seem to be anything about this sort of thread there.
Because we're all dicks and cunts and that's about it.
because they're idiots

Its the new /b/ apparently.
The problem is, because of the massive size of this forum it's hard to experience every part of FP. People will come in, have a bad experience in one section, and then assume all of FP is like that. People also have a tendency to assume all forums' rules are the exact same, and I'm sure you've noticed we have much more strict - and in some cases much more lax - rules than a lot of other boards.
Because we all should have the same opinion and if we don't we get rated dumb/disagree/ get banned.
Not sure why people dislike Facepunch, this place is awesome!
<-- Look: Long, animated avatars. What's not to like?
Everyone's an asshole.
Jealousy because they're not as fucking incredible.

best thread ever
To be honest FP is full of people who don't want to hear dissenting opinions and will rate you dumb if you ever go against the flow... but that's about it.
You get banned for being an idiot. Hell, FP is a hell of a lot more lax about bans than SA. Even if you do get banned, it's not going to be a perma your first time, unless it's that cat.
People think the you get banned way to easily, mods are unfair, the people who post here are horrible. etc
Community *cough cough SH cough* is very arrogant, condescending, hypocritical, and God forbid you just so happen to be a non-fundamentalist Christian.
Generally, our forum is full of fairly horrible people, we just like to pretend we aren't.
Terrible place.
Who would even bother posting on it.
For better or worse we're, we're like a less extreme version of SA.
You can find people who hate EVERYTHING on the internet.
Your best bet is to just ignore them.

SA isn't extreme at all, it's just a secret club house that's exactly like Facepunch.
Because no memes allowed

We're supposed to say why people dislike facepunch.
elitism
and god forbid you mention you isn't atheist, you get destroyed
I have a real love/hate relationship with Facepunch.
There's so many things I hate about it and its posters, but it's my internet home. It's the place I'm most used to, with familiar friends, faces, and communities.

Unless it's in the debate religion thread, that thread gives me some good vibes.
What a shit thread OP, kill urself.

I can attest to this; Sometimes I have been checking to make sure I'm not breaking some hidden rule by posting something specific, while at the same time, people are incredibly open with their opinions of various things to an extent that I have not seen on any other forum.
Also...

Uh no. SA is an order of magnitude (yes I'm fully aware of the irony) more mature than Facepunch will ever be. Check any enthusiast section and compare. Not even a contest.
Ever.
evvvvvvuuur.
Most of the trends that circulate on FP are old hat on SA, and pretty likely originated there.
That's true, but their level of maturity and quality is maintained by a heavy hand on the banhammer. Add to that the fact that it's a PAID FORUM and you keep out kids before they get the chance to mature.
So I guess you could say FP is good practice for SA if that's what you want to be a part of.
If there's one thing I could hate with Facepunch, it's when people get banned for saying "inb4". If you are unfortunate enough to say that at some point or another, not only you get a shitload of boxes, but you also get banned. Why...? Don't I get banned if I say "In before" or "Said this before" or something similar? It's the same thing. I know you guys hate memes, but it's not even a meme; or if it is, smileys are too.

And posting nothing but smileys will get you banned as well. Anime emotes will get you banned too. Basically treating the forum like a chatroom is stupid and you will be treated as such.

Interesting, but there are plenty of ways to treat the forum like a chatroom, and I've seen lots of them. Short reaction posts, lack of punctuation, etc. Why is "inb4" considered bannable on first sight, when it's just a sentence shortcut?
