This is pretty easy, they even said as much if you get past the PR spin. The majority of vanbois are total retards, and the level of rhetoric on their official boards was slightly below that found in a special ed class.
It also functioned as an echo chamber, where the whiners sounded off each other and drowned out any productive posts. This meant that if a newcome who was ensure if he wanted to pick up the game or not made the mistake of reading the boards he'd get this completely skewed impression of the game.
The boards basically became absolutely hostile to anyone who did not express a complete reverence to Brad and to to the very old outdated FAQ.
