Well, I've got to admit I like a bit more freedom to discuss certain ideas; but then, most of my forum haunts are modding forums, which are totally devoted to disassembling games - models, textures, images, sounds, code, scripting, levels, units, weapons, entities, projectiles, physics, shaders, the whole shebang. So it's only natural that I gravitate towards study and discussion, and exploitation of the guts of the game.
That being said, the attitude here is better than most places I've been; there's notably less viciousness and backbiting - even veiled - than I've seen elsewhere.
