The funny thing is, one alternate forum where a few folks went to has three threads that are the most active threads on the forum. One focused on the industry in general - it's 50+ pages long and generally focuses on negative things with the occasional positives thrown in. There's another 50+ page thread about the "pathetic" gaming media, where various sites get slammed for various reasons (sometimes deserved, sometimes... meh.). Then, there's a thread that's a whopping 20+ pages that is supposed to point out good articles, but generally ends up getting compared to the bad articles, with more negative talk about the bad ones.
Can things get negative around here? Sure. But don't leave in a tizzy because it's too negative, then go to another forum that's virtually more negative than this. If you're going to make a big, dramatic exit, then going someplace where the things you complained about here are even worse... well, it takes away all the sting of your leaving.
I don't like it when anyone* makes a decision to leave the forums - I think we have a great community, even when someone posts something I don't agree with. But, if you are unhappy here, then you should find an on-line community where you are happy - and I sincerely hope that anyone who has left our forums for any reason has found a community where they are happy.
