Fresh meat at the Nationstates forums

Post by Darth Fanboy »

I had no idea that these people were so idiotic:

http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewt ... &start=380

You have to have a nationstates nation to post though so you might not want to waste your time. But read some of these for a laugh.

There's some 375,000 nations at nationstates. That's a lot of users even if they have 10 nations each, and I have two, though I don't visit the forums anymore due to lack of time constraints.

In short, there's a lot of people there you wouldn't want to socialize with. This is the first time I've seen a ST/SW thread there though.

About 300,000 fewer than you mentioned, but you are still correct.

At any case these people are almost as ignorant as some of the trolls that crop up around here from time to time. And its horrible people like these (claiming that ENT and VOY are the Pinnacle of Trek) that keep BnB in power at the head of a franchise as descrated as a raped corpse.

Sorry. The 300,000 number is a grand total ever. Nations gets deleted after a while. 75,277 is the current active number.

There's plenty of racists, homophobes, nazis and whatever popping up there all the time, so that thread is actually pretty harmless in comparison.

I've seen that thread a few days ago, but decided that it wasn't worth the trouble of bringing it up here (after all, HUNDREDS of those were already brought to sd.net's attention, no point in adding another run-of-the-mill idiot filled thread)

If idiots come here, then we crush them. However, going over there to educate them isn't something that needs to be mentioned here. It's just the same old crap arguments, again and again.
