Presentation is important though. If someone presents to you a brochure for there spa that looks nice, but is really crappy, you would still go there.

I already told you that I/P is the way to do it, not number of people. I don't see why you regulars idiots for no reason. A lot of the regulars (as in people who have been there for a while and are known) don't post stupidly, at least. Most of what determines stupidity is presentation. Obviously if someone acts stupid you would judge them as more stupid than someone who doesn't act as stupid. I already told you statistically it would be incredibly improbable for there to be many idiots on Smogon. Besides, Smogon is harsher than even here at TA when regarding posting, so the quality should be at least the same or more than at TA, depending on certain factors. The problem with your use of I/P is that P can not be less than I. When you are using 100 people there can't be 101 idiots out of 100 people. I did not once talk about the people who get banned there, I was referring to the people who post there and many of them are idiots. I agree with davidum, I've seen their stupidity first hand and I think since I'm being fair, you can be fair as well. If you have a forum with over 10,000 people, not all of them are going to be angels. It isn't "improbable" for the site to consist of many idiots. If you say that, than you can't say Gamefaqs has any idiots. Both aren't true, so why deny it? And of course nothing will happen to you when you are one of them, and there are many factors as to why many people dislike Smogon. The elitism, the stupid topics in general and the people that act like idiots. I would disagree with you, TA has a fine moderation system. Idiots are banned on site. And I see you didn't get the 100 divided by 1 joke.....

"I already talked about presentation before. Obviously Smogon's is good because it has many members."
So does ebaumsworld and they're a bunch of thieves. Anyways, so is Gamefaqs by that logic.
"It isn't "improbable" for the site to consist of many idiots. If you say that, than you can't say Gamefaqs has any idiots. Both aren't true, so why deny it? And of course nothing will happen to you when you are one of them, and there are many factors as to why many people dislike Smogon. The elitism, the stupid topics in general and the people that act like idiots."
"The Gamefaqs moderation system is terrible, and it is easy to evade ban. So yeah, I can say that Gamefaqs has many idiots. Telling me that the topics, etc, etc, are stupid is opinion. The reason why Smogon doesn't have that many idiots is because their moderation is much stricter than Gamefaqs. It is also stricter than the one we have here, because I doubt Davidum would last long at Smogon. Besides, the forum moderators don't post stupid pictures like this at Smogon save maybe the only forum where they can actually act stupid..."
I can say that Smogon has many idiots by that same logic, it's just as easy to evade ban there. A better moderation system doesn't mean better users, the users who post there are idiots which is what we're saying. For instance, the quality of the overall users on Gamefaqs is good because many of them abide by the rules. And davidum has every right to feel the way he does if he was treated that way. And yes, Vineon posted pictures about me so I don't know what you're saying about forum moderators not posting pics there not posting about people.....and the users there act like idiots all the time......
And not to mention the numerous topics the users have posted about me.
"I did not once talk about the people who get banned there, I was referring to the people who post there and many of them are idiots. I agree with davidum, I've seen their stupidity first hand and I think since I'm being fair, you can be fair as well. If you have a forum with over 10,000 people, not all of them are going to be angels."
"If 'many of them' are idiots then we must assume that the percentage of idiots is greater than what it should be. saying there are 100 idiots out of 10000 isn't saying all that much, for example. I am also refering to people who post there. The posting quality is quite good. Davidum, for example, would probably be (and was) banned there. So you can't really say Smogon's post quality is that bad. Besides, you don't even regular their forums."
You can assume what you wish, but it doesn't prove anything. I am not giving a number, I do not like the users and find many of them to consist of idiots. I am not the only one who feels this way so it must be true to an extent. You are obviously offended at people disliking Smogon as well, so I don't see why you don't go there when they say things about me. And I don't really like the posting quality, you're just saying things that can't be proven.
I can say that the posting quality on Gamefaqs is quite good but you won't believe it, so it goes the same way. I don't regular their forums but I've seen many of their antics, enough to know many of them are idiots. You don't know the experiences I've had with that place.

<i>http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5195 is pretty much the reason why he doesnt come around anymore, he got owned so hard</i> Hey, it's that idiot who thought he gave me a virus. Wasn't that the incident where Smogon looked like a laughing stock? lionheartggfan.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=unforgettable&action=display&thread=933Yeah, it was. ey guys, guess what. We don't give a fuck about ggfan. He's an old troll, and that's about it. As far as 99.9% of the community goes, we don't give a shit about him - he's a dead horse that's been beaten far too many times. He is a dumb gimmick, and you want to know what? You idiots keep reviving this goddamn gimmick like we care or something are probably worse than he is (or you're probably ggfan).
No one cares about ggfan. Get it through your heads. It stopped being funny before you hit puberty. Now cut the shit out and get on with your sorry pathetic lives.
And make fun of Jimbo instead.Well, if I'm considered a dead horse in the eyes of bulbous manatees who are barely alive to begin with then that isn't saying much quite frankly. But keep pretending I'm a gimmick and I'll keep laughing at you morons as I always do.

Anyways, since this topic has so many views I figured I'd use it to respond to the usual Smogimmick (hoho!) posts about me that pop up every once in a while.
Glad Smogon likes my website though. Humphrey J. Scott likes it too.

I just wanted to say that this is a beautiful, magnificent thread, and one of the most famous and well-known threads in competitive Pokemon history.
It really makes you realize how stupid Smogon is.
