The forums are stagnating - what should be done about it?

[BenVTrigger]

Yeah I've been really active in bursts on this site. I'll post like crazy for a couple months then lay low for a couple then start up again.

But now I'm really starting to lose interest. Mostly because I'm realizing more and more I hate the "Core" gamer community. Its filled with annoying, self-righteous, overly biased, cry baby nerds. I mean seriously I play games hours a day and sit on gameing forums and talk games but I still have a great personal life and have zero desire to nerd out and troll other games and consoles just because I have nothing better to do, but there's geeks all over the place who do that.

I'm tired of seeing exlcuisve "list wars", I'm tired of 360 and PS3 fanboys arguing a game on a console is superior because its pushes a TINY bit more pixels on screen or because it looks 1% better than a different game. I'm tired of seeing people trashing the Kinect and anything "casual" or not designed specifically for their basement dwelling lives. Its just weird, annoying, and gets in the way of any real conversation. The average gamer is nothing like what you see on the internet, trust me I know. I sell them consoles and games all day every day and many of them are pretty fun to be around but the internet is just filled with all these obsessive gamers who think everything should cater to them and anything that doesn't must be TEH SUCKZZZZ. There's still some on here who'se company I enjoy, but I'm really growing tired of a lot of this crap.
