I saw that Destiny is on its 26th OT since, I presume september last year. That's insane, but when I asked someone a while back they said its basically fewer than it seems but those are really dedicated. Still, that's a lot of fucking posts.

Anyway, I'm wondering what game or series has the most people talking about it?

Destiny's is so big is because it's the only way to play with each other. It's a social game without social features so we all join up and meet in the OT. Also yeah some people are really dedicated.

Destiny from what I know has a REALLY fast moving community and burns through OTs pretty fast. OuterGAF has among the nicest community members that I know of, very welcoming.

So it's effectively party chat?

Just checking the gaming community tab, Destiny, in less than a year, has over 26 OTs.

Size is irrelevant.

A community survives by dedication. Loyalty is key. Ask yourself this, soldier... would you like to be part of an enormous community where you don't know... dont trust half its members? A community built on false hype?

Or would you rather be part of a smaller crew consisting of a few loyal dogs, men who left their countries behind... just to survive? A real community... hmph... a real community shares a bond that goes beyond a simple videogame franchise.

You eat together. You sleep together. You fu- mess around together. These are the signs of a true community.

My community is full of morons... That's why I love it so much.

Destiny hands down. At least in terms of heavy involved members actively posting and playing together.

26 OTs in less than a year is madness

I don't know, having 26 OT in less than a year is mind boggling. That's roughly 20,000 post in each thread and there has been 26 such threads. Damn

Biggest in terms of all time number of unique posters who've ever posted?

Biggest in terms of group with the largest amount of active users?

or

Biggest in terms of how fast the community regardless of user count posts?

Each one has a different answer, the last one is clearly Destiny GAF. The other two would be a bit harder to figure out.

The number of posts is really an illusion. Do you know what people actually talk about in these communities? Allow me to break it down for you:

Destiny-GAF: People posting "I've got two spots left in the party, join up!" nine times out of ten.
Dota-GAF: People desperately trying to snatch their souls away from the game, but failing.
League of Legends-GAF: These guys also talk about Dota.
Halo-GAF: A group of gamers who talk about the upcoming games in the franchise and are completely unaware of how much shit the other GAF communities talk about them.
Steam-GAF: People asking about how to get 5K resolution on their four monitors for Sakura Spirit.
Smash-GAF: Reasonable and measured discussion based on logical theories and evidence.
Giant Bomb-GAF: These users have evolved beyond video games and now discuss about people discussing about video games sometimes.
TF2-GAF: Small in size, biggest in quality minus Clivefrog

I don't know, Destiny probably. If you were talking about overall unhingedness, I'd have your definitive answer.

Even just looking at the most recent pages in that OT the majority of them are indeed LFP type posts.
