Either that or I'm just used to it
That is most certainly the case if you already have your own personal circle of friends there. Having mostly lurked there I'd say the language and tone is much harsher. Lots of cursing and personal attacks and even the devs and mods join in. Someone like Painhertz, for instance, didn't last very long on the Salem forums. In HnH his hostility is given free reign because the community like their resident troll.
If a harsher tone is what you appreciate in your forum culture I can respect that. Just don't get any illusions about where people are more hostile. Yeah, you might think it's "funnier" to have a more laidback style but people dropping F-bombs and telling you to go die in an alley is objectively more hostile behaviour that would have led to a warning or a ban on most forums. That you are "in" on it doesn't mean everyone is.
Pain was fine here. He didn't like how the game was going and didn't like how chief and paul are in the master mason forum now so he left.
