There are plenty of members over there who care about playing the game. Sure they have off-topic threads, but so do most forums. Is that such a crime? I've been there for years and the most controversial topics that end up in drama are in the off-topic sections. I think you're focusing on a few cases and not the bigger picture. Furthermore, it's natural for people to criticize the things they enjoy. For example, I have a standard of character that I used to make and always tried to make that standard higher. There are a lot of creators who have standards much lower than mine and I'd expect the same as mine or better. So then let's say a character is released that I was really looking forward to, but then the quality suffered greatly, I'm liable to be saying something about it and helping them to improve. It might not sound nice to the reader, but it's just criticism. As for drama, you can't avoid it. It's everywhere, even here. In all my time being an admin here I've seen my fair share of drama here. Some behind closed doors and some in the public. If drama bothers you, simply don't partake in it. Take a break because making false claims about other forums won't get you very far. You're allowed to have your opinion, but you're pretty much spouting it like you know it's fact.
