Hmmm...interesting. Not sure where the forum is going or whether it's going to be a place where I'll continue to enjoy posting. No biggie, I'm just one fan, whatever.
Keep in mind that the overwhelming negativity that so many point out is temporary and will ease with time. Some fans are upset that SGA has changed in a way that they didn't like. Some fans are upset that SGA was canceled. Some fans are upset that SGU was the reason that SGA was canceled and that SGU has been dangled as the next fix for Stargate fans. Some fans think that the concept/PTB/sides for SGU stink.
Think of the fandom insanity that erupted between SG1's s8 and s9, continuing into s10, and escalated to a finale when SG1 was canceled. Less than one year after that I'd warrant that most of the nastiness on GW had died down as people left, moved on to SGA, let emotions simmer, etc. The same will happen with SGA and eventually with SGU.
Also, from what I've seen TWoP has a stronger banning policy here. Insult a fellow poster and you get smacked, do it again and you get banned. IMO, GW has a pretty weak ban enforcement compared to other forums.
I've been petitioning to get rid of the red rep system for years.
