One thing I've noticed is that for all how the page for They Might Be Giants claims them to be the unofficial official band of this wiki, there's relatively few people on this site who seem to ever reference them.

There's a clique on this forum.

A clique? As in, one? [lol] I'd say there's dozens cliques, groups, covens, mafias and whatnot around here, besides a generic sort of "old guard".

There are a hell of a lot less trolls here than on other sites. That's the one thing that hits you when you go through the pages.

Apart from the one dick that messed up the Fridge page for Bioshock Infinite, which I went and solved. Eventually.

If there are trolls, the get banned very quickly. The fish vandal and the Mass Effect 3 guy come to mind.

Never heard of them. But yeah, this site is pretty troll free. The price is not being able to have a public strong disagreement, but them's the breaks.

The fish vandal was the guy who kept vandalizing Fast Eddie's page and other pages(some threads too) with several obscenities, and fish for some reason. He reappeared last fall.

[up][up]It was one guy who kept coming back under new I Ps.

I saw fakeangelbr around the forums a lot, but I figured he was less a troll and more just immature.

Honestly, when it comes to most instances of supposed trolling, I'm more quick to assume that it's just an immature person who does not know how to conduct him/herself properly in a public space than to assume it's someone who is intentionally screwing with people. There's certain telltale signs I watch out for, though.

Basically, never assume that it's trolling when stupidity is the more likely reason.

Basically, follow Hanlon's Razor.

It's pretty apt when it comes to the Internet in particular, I find.

Nope. tongue Check out the myriad of MLP threads. We've got one here on Yack Fest and one in Western Animation. There's scores of bronies here, probably more than the Homestucks.

That the first time you ever really used the internet? If so, I can understand that better.
