I think for the first half of 2018 it was a 4 most of the time, didn't really enjoy it. Since then it's been a gradual slope down to a 2. I reckon it's been 2-2.5 for quite a while as well.
Been enjoying it (the shoutbox and everyone's contribution) for quite a while now.
That or it's stockholm syndrome

I'd go with a 3. The forum does have its fair share of certain members who act "toxic"; i.e. immature members who either enjoy being smug nuisances, or just keep spewing inane topics (such as boasting about the size of your knob or how many lasses you've played with, or in the worst case, how many you've watched pissing without their consent)...you know who you are!
However, said toxicity is pretty much confined to 1. the shoutbox, and 2. the Chat boards.

3, it used to be more toxic than it is now, but toxic elements are still there. I'm thinking of AJ for example, who insulted me behind my back in the shoutbox while we argued in the p&oc section. Not that I could really be offended on an internet forum, it's just not a nice discussion culture and shows weakness of character.

It's a 3. Definitely some toxicity but that's to be expected with a free speech forum.

It would be a lot less toxic if you stopped whinging and creating provocative threads.

It would be a lot less toxic if you stopped whinging and creating provocative threads. I'm just curious to know the general opinion on this. It's just asking for people's thoughts and opinions, so why is it provocative? You seem keen to remind us that we're a bunch of toxic wankers. If you want my opinion, I'll say 3 as an average, there has been times where it's 5, currently I'd say it's about 2. Given the nature of the board, no rules and a young mostly anonymous userbase. I'd say it's about as good as you'll get. |

A 2 or 3. Intermediate, we definitely have some toxicity but it's not as horrible as people seem to think it is. I like the fact that we can say whatever the fuck we want, and I like the fact that in general, this forum doesn't suffer fools lightly.
However, for much of 2018, I would say this forum was at a 4 or 5.

Down to a 2 these days. The amount of saltiness is appropriate.

I'd say it was 5 during the exodus of UK forumers. It's much better now.

Late 2018 was a 5. Now I’d say a 3. There’s some toxic members but that’s hard to be avoided. Most shoutbox conversations and threads are pretty chill recently.

Probably about a 2.5 currently. I would say we approached 5 a few times in 2018, but have otherwise hovered in the 2-4 range. Lowest ever in my view would probably be January 2020, maybe down as far as 1.5 then. This forum had really mellowed out a lot until coronavirus put everyone on edge.
It's never going to be zero, obviously. That's not possible for any forum, especially not one that has such a strong commitment to free speech and that has been invitation-only for most of its history.

I’d say a 2. Pretty low at the moment
Though yeah at times during 2018 it was more like a 4 or a 5. But a lot of the troublemakers left
