Edition War Across the Net or Where Have You Been?

[dm4hire]

This isn't about the Edition War itself, outside of the fact that I am amazed at where I am finding it brought up. Besides enWorld, I have participated or seen the Edition War brought up in several places. Whether this speaks to how severe the divide is or just to how many of us frequent the same places isn't really my question.

I personally have found it at AEG, Amazon, Blackmoore, Goodman Games, Green Ronin, Paizo, Ubiquity, White Wolf, WotC, and today at Bioware in the Dragon Age forums.

So where have you found the Edition War debated in your adventures across the web?

Please keep this to discussing where you have found it and not about the actual Edition War. Thanks!

I am pretty exclusively here, but I have sen pieces of it on several PbP forums.

It was worse over on the WotC boards, but eventually many of the non-4e fans just abandoned the place after the abuse they saw at some of the more extreme fanboys (the 4vengers, etc).

I've also seen it over on the Paizo boards, and even on 4chan and a few other imageboards where the community was just as divided as it was here and other places actually focused on RPGs.

I guess I've been under a rock.

If I hadn't I don't think I'd have taken a stand anyway. I like 3E/Pathfinder AND 4E equally. They're both interesting sytems and I hope I'm going to continue to play them until the day I die.

Aintitcoolnews and pretty much every other site with a review of 4e.
Even Tvtropes.

Your attempt to paint such events as terribly one sided is both obvious and dishonest.

It was worst for me on Amazon... I try to read product reviews and often the message boards have good product suggestions etc but anything D&D related on those boards is horrible.

That would be my assessment as well. Just making supergroups to attempt to prove how great your favored edition is, is rather juvenile. I am glad I have not been there in a long time.

There is nothing dishonest about it, though there were vocal older fans. The ire was definitely on the 'supergroup' side.

I saw it on a movie forum as well. Someone called the new STAR TREK the 4e of Star Trek.

I however liked the new STAR TREK.
