My Great Boarding Adventure

Maybe it's because I haven't used these things before, and I'm not much of a redditor. But the hostility of creating something is intense. If my thread isn't removed by some guy working his left-click skills, or downvoted by immense stupidity which has no relation to my thread, even if it's completely and utterly stupid. However I will admit I expected this, but the rarity of actual helpful content in relation to my theme. Is equivalent to the toxic nature of the community in a competitive standpoint and I'm wondering? Are all league players like this? Most likely not. But evidently this thread will go to waste and rot while something I don't understand in the least bit continues to trend. Maybe it's just popularity, I've read up on that. Still I don't get it, and people who make more useless crap with a pun in it tend to get more upvotes than an actual question. I'll admit I am a bit of an attention whore though, can't help it if I like seeing people upvote my own stupid crap. If the community is so big... why so metasheep?
