Let's analyse how our """""""favorite""""""" board works.
1. Actually knowledgeable people with patrician knowledge in technology enter the picture. They already know what OS to use, they already know what to do for the most part. What they are interested in is the detail, the improvement, the actual progress, to think beyond the mundane, but a minority of them also have autistic Asperger syndrome with what they have chosen on the main mundane questions, and they will never accept their choices on the mundane could be wrong.
2. Actual normies enter the picture, those people know absolutely nothing beyond the surface and they only want easy answers to mundane questions, like what GPU to buy because they know nothing about it. There is nothing inherently wrong with that but when it gets complicated is that the minority of the autisitc spergstations from the 1st category enter the picture trying to convince those helpless normies to adhere to their religions, to their fanatical high-school mentality viewpoint about a "favorite" company or OS or other thing. Most of the normies at that point are wise enough to leave the place because they can see through it, but a minority of them will join the autistic spergstations of the 1st category and form a new category.
3. Enter the collective autistic spergstation memelords 2.0. Those are a meshing of the actual patricians-with-knowledge minority of sperglords from category 1, joined with their minions from the minority of normies from category 2, but a sizeable force now that can actually do real damage. They form camps, e.g. camp NVIDIA and camp Linux. As a result, they will fill the board with their mundane topics on a daily basis, like "what OS to use", "what language to use", "what GPU to get" as if anyone can't answer this on their own with personal research whatever their starting point is, but now it has a twist, it's done religiously, polemically, without end in sight.
that sucks you spent all this time typing it out. saged

But if I answer to you it goes up thread-terrorist anon.

Whatever happened to that tripfag on /g/ who used Windows ME exclusively?
I'd know his handle if I read it.
OPs post reminded me of him.
He stopped posting circa 2008.

Nah, I never tripfag, I just like to psychoanalyse a little.
