The Decline of Inf Civilization

For months, Infendo's higher ups have been deliberating a forum addition. Now they've jumped on and have created the Infendo Forums, beta edition.

I used to be against the idea-- thought it would breed trolling like stuff seen on, for example, GoNintendo or something like that. It remains to be seen whether that apprehension will be validated, but so far it looks to be headed in the direction of any other fan forum, should nothing change.

The boards themselves look fantastic. A simple, unified color scheme matches the forum to the main site. Like i mentioned before, the threads are already headed down the typical path of overabundant, pointless spam topics, but this is still the beta version. Once mods and such are hired, it could possibly be a higher than usual quality forum. Honestly though, i wouldn't expect it. As much as Inf is (for the most part) a high standard blog, trolls will be trolls. Give them a forum and they'll only get worse. Those are the types that usually linger there anyway, so it's hard to expect anything else.

I'm okay with the concept so long as Blake knows what he's doing and hires some great mods. Generally i think forums are blemishes on any fansite, so we'll see how it develops. Check it out through the warp link if you haven't yet. Tell me what you think.
