What bad forum experiences have you had? It can be anything from a problem with a member or with the message board on the whole. Obviously, no links. Just explain what happened.

I have one that took place on a message board for the .hack series of products. In a thread about a .hack//SIGN parody called .hack//GIFT, one of the members said that .hack//GIFT might be dubbed into English and released on TV or a future .hack DVD set (its already been released on one DVD, but in Japanese only).

In the next post, I posted my opinion on .hack//GIFT, and as I footnote, explain that GIFT will more than likely never see time in American television for its swearing and nudity (the only networks that could show it would have no reason to). It should be noted this was my first post at this forum.

The original forum member comes back to say that .hack//GIFT has already been released on the 4th Liminality DVD like she's said for the millionth time.

I post again and explain that I was talking about it being dubbed into English and released on a seperate DVD, not on the 4th Liminality DVD.

SHe then comes back and quotes herself saying that .hack//GIFT has been released on the 4th Liminality DVD (she also makes the font larger to make her point clearer). She then adds, "I rest my case."

I then quote her talking about the English dub and being released on TV and/or another DVD.

She comes back and says that she never said it was definate and that she doesn't want to argue since she's had a bad day already anyway.

I don't care about her day so I come back and explain I assumed nothing and was merely adding to the information she had already given. I also quoted another forum member who made the same point I did (and yet he wasn't attacked... could it be because it wasn't his first post?).

Anyway, the moral of this story is: forums who assume "new people" are "newbies" from the very start suck and should not be so close-minded.

So...

What have you got?
