I might go join Steam.

That would put you in the same boat as shio and ssj12. I can't think of a worse place to be.


You do know Naz and many other members use Steam too right?

Yeah, but it's not shameful to have something in common with them.

Well I am a fan of Nintendo and dislike copy cats, especially after they talk down their competition and then copy them :P

That sort of thing is nothing I respect but that does not make me a fanboy it makes me a copycathateboy?


I don’t think anybody thinks I am a fanboy…

well, hateboys actually are one step below a fanboys, as hating sth. is way sadder than loving sth.

Well I tend to say hate when I actually mean dislike. But since it has been said you take it as you like :p

EDIT: actually the word fanboy means you hate the competition so you can’t sink lower than a fanboy. The hate is what gives birth to a fanboy ;) so you can say that I a fanboy of originality

Sega will be doomed when Atari releases the Jaguar 9000!

Atari is the past Sega is the future... this is fact

hm... that's a matter of definitions

I've seen enough instances in which pure excitement for a company and it's products (without being offensive towards other people) was being called "fanboyish".

So, I'd personally use the word "hateboy" to refer to the malicious kind, which just likes to be offensive and rude. Hateboys don't need to be fan of anything though (so, I don't see it as subgroup of/ or a condition for being a "fanboy") , you can easily hate without having clear preferences of your own.
