I'm appalled. 

For years, I've been pointing out to people that even though we have our arguments in the LOTRO forums, that the maturity level there has always been maintained at a much higher level then in the forums of other games I've been involved with, and most particularly, have never devolved to the depths seen in the World of Warcraft forums.  WoW attracted a much younger crowd of gamers, probably because of Blizzard.net, then most MMORPGs seem to.  And you can see it in the forums.  Baseless rants, demands to change aspects if the game with no explanations of the perceived problem, calling the devs names - there's an effect way to encourage them to look into your problem, and broad, sweeping generalizations were rampant.

Newsflash

Obviously most of the traffic I get here are guest logins, just people browsing around.  And for the moment, that's fine.  But as the site grows and I put in more and more content, I'll be setting the majority of the really good stuff to "registered" only.  If you like what you can see as a guest, trust me, you'll like the registered user content even more.
