Forum Comparision: Japanese forums versus the English ones.

[Abriael]

The inference I make from this is that although the forum threads topics might be equally silly or inflammatory, Japanese people are more prone to actually reading stuff (like you know, the stickies, existing threads and forum guidelines) and less interested in listening to the beautiful sound of their own opinions.

Or, there may be many more people reading the Japanese forums. Which is very probable considering that this is a Japanese game and Japanese players seem to be a vast majority in game as well.

Those counters only show you how many people read a thread, not what percentage of the total, so while I'm sure the average Japanese is a little more considerate of the average westerner, I'm afraid that your conclusion is flawed.
