Bw.de is like a sworn community in their communtiy forums, there are dozens who never played BW but came through the ingame.de network. This community has its own rules, slang, traditions and such. There's a forum called "off topic" reserved for massive bullshit, it has no post counter and a very lax moderation in contrast to the rest of the page. For an outsider it reads really harsh, even though it's basically only trash talk. So, off the hundreds of SCII maniacs some more "motivated" youngsters joined the bw.de staff and tried to cover SCII things EVERYWHERE on the page. And they eventually found their way into the Off Topic and community forums. It was a fight between generations. In the community forums there were topics about this and that, where students and already working people discussed stuff, and suddenly there were dozens of completely teenage-angst topics, or uneducated 13-year-old wall of texts. This was kind of annoying. Eventually, some of the young newbs dared to enter the realms of the Off Topic Forums. They completely did not understand how it worked. Most of the more persisting newbs happened to be "SCII Casters" - now categorized as casters for short, the idiots of the forums. Don't get me wrong it reads worse than it is, but it's still an established term to flame the staff people in the Off Topic whenever you want. Just say "gtfo caster" or something. | ||
