There were threads talking about the site struggling, and then whether or not we should move and who wanted to go etc etc.

Also, I am fairly new to this community so..wth is WCG and GT?
 
Not yet, too slow.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/community?s=t

a social group of any size...

a social, religious, occupational, or other group sharing common characteristics or interests and perceived or perceiving itself as distinct in some respect from the larger society within which it exists

I would say since we are group sharing common interests (discussing video games) that we are a community. A community does not need to be diverse.
 
WCG seemed douchey to me, don't know why, since I never went there. But there were some people who posted on txb, acting somewhat (in my mind) as representatives of it, and I wasn't thrilled. There were just as many people NOT leaving anyway, had no real reason to.

Plus riotous seems like an ass.
 
Signed up to WCG, don't think I posted much. Most of the "discussion" was between the same people making the same jokes about non-related topics, just boring I found. A bit clicky too, I reckon.

Yup. Some of the WCG posters who came to TXB damaged WCG's image, I think. Periodically we'd get WCG people who'd show up and make derisive comments, put-downs, or tried to instigate. I can even sense it in this thread, which is pretty mild, but you've got the (imo) arrogant pronouncements about "you're not a community" and "get the sticks removed." That's the tone WCG often presented with (though it's a mild version here). The emmisaries made it seem like a dickish place to be.

That doesn't really mean anything though if those 400+ members don't actively post in all areas of the board.

I basically don't look outside of the OTL so I wouldn't know.
 
WCG always was slow as dirt loading pages for me since the beginning which was the main deterrent. Like others have mentioned, many of the members there seemed like arrogant douchebags and kept me away.
 
An old dickheaded TXB mod that banned me from TXB went over there. So yea, there's that.

I might have signed up there anyway, but the place didn't have the old TXB vibe at all.
Plus, the gaming forum wasn't active.
"We CRAVE GAMES" just sounds kinda dumb too.
