Never, aryu.

Time to bust the old trolling motor.

When they die, these forums die. The past couple of weeks have been boring to me as it is already. Plus, there are no games on my console of choice so I need to go online and brag about it to make me feel better about my purchase.

People shouldn't really take the fanboys seriously anyways. Let them get themselves in trouble. Go along and have your serious discussions and ignore the threads that are annoying. Report what you feel is inappropriate. Let the mods do their jobs. Some people enjoy the forums being a wild west shootout and makes them want to hit up these forum. These forums live off of hits and anything that makes it more lively is beneficial to it. Topics that go past 50 posts are goldmines for clicks and usually those topics are trollish.

This site/forum is over-run by fanboys, so of course you're always going to see lame threads.

The world "fanboy", "troll", and "flame" seem to be over and misused. I just see a lot of people playing the victim and engaging in almost McCarthian accusations of anybody who disagrees with their precious opinion a fanboy.

Ironically, that motivation itself is fanboyish.

And just to make it clear, there will always be idiots. Welcome to the internet. But acknowledging those idiots and using them as examples to play the victim is like what Anita Sarkeesian is doing. Just engaging in ad hominems to shift the topic away from the substance of the discussion to a discussion about how rude the internet can be.
