Is the KSP Community more friendly then the Minecraft community?

I'm not going to say my age, but it's under 18, and the minecraft community started off nice and friendly and just grew worse and worse along with the game (controversial I know) As it grew the nice people got washed out by the trolls and noobs. I hope KSP doesn't become as popular as minecraft, or the game will go downhill fast.

I absolutely agree. I have a deliberate fear of fame, as it tends to corrupt quality over magnetizing cawadoody kids.

I'm so glad KSP exists, it's fairly small for a game, and a cawadoody kid would never play a game like this due to the high level of intelligence needed to do anything useful. Even Danny has enough knowledge of orbital mechanics to travel interplanetary, and all he seems to do is screw around.

The only Minecraft forum I visit is Punchwood.com and they are just as friendly as the folks are here. Even more so as I have found many of you get into flame wars about MechJeb or not to MechJeb. Of course, the Minecraft folks get into flame wars about Mods or No Mods, so it is 6 of that and half a dozen of the other.

Part of the reason why I enjoy KSP is because of the difficulty curve keeping the obnoxious people out. They make one or two videos of a horribly balanced rocket blowing up on the launch pad and get bored.

Yes, the forums here are friendlier on a general basis, but like several people have said it's mainly because of the fact that there isn't as large a player base, I started Minecraft back in beta and it was mostly nice people then, but as it got more accessible and popular many "elitist" players decided that they were better than everyone else, and of course there are the trolls, the vanilla/mod arguments, and so on, same as the mechjeb/manual debates. In KSP it really doesn't matter how bad or good something looks/flies because in the end, everyone here remembers their first awesome lander they took to the mun and stranded.

I don't see why you would compare the 2. One's a game about space exploration and space ships, the others about creating structures and mining things.

They're bound to attract 2 different types of people.

Never seen a community as good as this one :D Of course there are a few arguments (i'm just as guilty as anyone else there :L) but in general everyone is nice and willing to help out, offering constructive criticism rather than simply saying something is rubbish.

The only other forums I've really been on are minecraft, warthunder and world of tanks. All 3 of them have been pretty vicious. :(

The KSP forums are generally the friendliest I've come across in recent memory, but there are still a few people on here that can be pretty rude. It doesn't happen very often though. Perhaps I just have a thin skin :blush:

The captain guy and the Bimu guy were pretty bashy critics.

Good thing that they are all gone now.

It's not really about comparing the two games, it's about the general community. Not necessarily, I play both, and many other games, and KSP does have a rather friendlier tone in the forums than several others I have visited, including CK2, Minecraft, WoW, Rift, etc.. Most of the ones I used to lurk it's nearly impossible to find a helpful nice person instead of an elitist, a troll, or someone that just cries about every minor problem they have.

Omg you idots just get lost noobs!!!!........

And that is why ksp forums are good is because all of you are intelligent enough to tell when someoe is being sarcastic and it seems that rather a lot of the arguments on the minecraft forums are caused by some people misinterpreting other peoples ideas.

Some people on these forums really need to lighten the hell up.
