I am making a test of forum stability and overall friendliness.

The sites included in the test are

1: Newgrounds

2: Armour Games

3: The Hive Workshop

I will be scanning through the forums for the next ten minutes or so, I will post results then.

Feel free to ruin Armour Games' reputaion by posting obscenely in this thread.

(I must seriously say that the mods here are excellent and that Armour Games is really in for the win.)

Why the Hive Workshop?

What is that?

I also suggest you include Kongregate. It is another popular flash game website with forums.

I decided to do this in a split second and as I only had a membership in those three sites (That I could remember the pass to) I decided to use those.

Just to clear it up The Hive Workshop is a Warcraft 3 modding site.

I admit that it has nothing to do with flash games but... as I said..

I will probably do a second one of these with a tad more effort, I will include Kongregate as it is a good site to use thanks for the idea.

Oh..

Well, good luck on your study..

I'll check in to see the results when I have time.

There are more flash game sites with forums out there..

Armour games scored 9/10. I must congratulate the mods on their ability to watch the forums and even check out this one, warning about that shiny ban hammer looming over the heads of those who would ruin the reputation of greatness this site has obtained.

The Hive Workshop scored 8/10 for mainly the same reasons as Armor games, however the mods are not quite as numerous and some threads get past them. However their response time is in less than 4 hours and when they do find someone they deliver hefty penalties. So congrats to them.

Newgrounds scored -2/10 due to the fact the first response to the great forum test thread was "F*** you" and that half of the actual general posts are sexually oriented. That and there's no mods watching the general forum combined with everyone on there (About 98% to be exact) not able to even spell correctly let alone speak in anything but insults. And the thread disappeared somehow. Possibly the first act from the mods. Wow this site sucks. Only visit it for the games. Fair warning.

TEST CLOSED

Heh, I could've guessed that result... I wonder what the 1/10 that AG didn't get was for.

Has AG ever been 'ut to the test' before?

For me the choice is Armor Games, a little better than Kongregate. I could explain why, but why bother? Any VS thread with AG as an option, everybody is obviously going to vote for AG. If they liked one of the other choices better, they would be on that website, and not on Armor Games.

You should do kongregate.

Me, I'd give it a 6/10

The forum posts there aren't bad, the members aren't bad either, but it lacks mods to clean up the spam...

I prefer Kong as a gaming site overall, but as a community/forum, its like if a retarded gecko monkey bear were to try to ball checkers. And yea, that's bad.

I agree with the no edit option. Next time Kong will be included.

When the next complaint I get from a user about duplicate threads comes through, I know who I'll be visiting!

I'm guessing that discussion of this should now be moving over to the other thread- the brainstorming one.
