I was banned for telling Angry he's a shit human being.
I post on my Zwambob account now occasionally.

A lot of people are bitter about this place. The hate posts that crop up about it on Bnet every once in a while are proof of that. The smug "I told you so" comments also appear when someone exaggerates the drama over here, even if nothing of the sort is actually happening.

I'm sure there's some sort of psychological explanation for it. Maybe the Bnet regulars consider this site as some sort of threat to Bungie (even though we are tiny in comparison)?

It's actually really annoying to see. :L
But I guess every group needs a rival. B.roken is ours

It's an issue of sentemntality and enviousness. I say sentimentality because they're trying to cling stubbornly to a site that, let's face it, has seen better days and has moved on far, far away from its golden age. There's no life in it's threads, and the people that pull the strings, no longer interact on the level that they used to.

So, in order to cling to what they've lost, they'll come up with any reason to shunt out something that threatens their illusion of reality. And that reason is hate. Dislike. But why hate and dislike? All the comments about how the place will blow over, and the obligatory "circle jerk of populars?"

It's jealousy and the refusal to accept the real reality of things in their faces. I watched from the sidelines, as after the more vocal regulars left, people stepped in to fill the void. To gain "internet fame and popularity." Insecurities manifest themselves in our actions and writing on the internet, whether they be up front and center for all to see, or hidden behind fake personas to give them a sense of nourishment for what they lack.

You true colours show on the internet, even if you hide behind lies and fake identities. They refuse to accept the reaility that Bungie has changed and that they are no longer in the favor of a fair portion of their fanbase.

Most of all, their insecurities manifest in a power vacuum that the so called "popular users" once held there.

They cling to denial, and deny acceptance that at our core, we're a community of people. We're all just people. Villainize one side, de-humanize them, and the reality of what you're doing to them doesn't show until it's too late.

Apparently a few of them said that the worst members/shitposters go here. All I can think of is Comms

Funny since all the people who are banned here are over there.

I honestly use b.net more than this place.  I've just done nothing but lurk here recently because there doesn't seem to be too much interesting and then there is all the drama that happens.
