I still think the age old adage of if you don't have nothing nice to say, don't say it at all works wonders. I think a big problem in GC has to do with lack of maturity due to age and experience about how to handle people, as well as rivalries and problems with other GLO's personally that are taken out onto other members of these boards. I also think that the internet also attracts the wierdos and people with many issues which is seen through their posts and slammings of others on GC. I know this has already been said countless times in these threads and my words will probably be torn apart and I'll be flamed as well but I can also take it. I also think it's really interesting that the meanest of the posters who say they really could care less about what goes on in GC, and "have nothing against anyone" are the one's constantly posting and tearing everyone else apart for their posts..............

Of these boards that you belong to, do any of them have as many registered users as GC? Do any of them come close? Have any of them been around longer than GC? And have you witnessed any changes to these sites (resulting from an increase in users)?
For the defense of GC, not everyone that uses or posts on GC is affiliated with a GLO.
