Relatively speaking, when it exists in what's presumably the same universe as is at least the rest of the Nintendo forums?

Is there some massive geographical gap between the settings of CM30's first two forumss and that of the Wario Forums? What stops monsters from the MarioWiki's surroundings and the DK Vine's locales from interfering in Wario Forums' discussions?

And it gets worse on this front too. CM30's got two whole worlds stuffed within his computer in the form of the forums and the discord server. What happens if something from one of them escapes to the outside world? Could it happen?

Additionally, there's also the implications (in some posts) that Wario Forums is connected to the Mario Wiki in some way. That's not exactly the least invaded place in the world, so what stops say, a guy fixated on characters being asian from hopping the border and deciding this modern forum is a slightly better base of operations? Or if an fanfiction writer finds it a good distraction? I don't think the somewhat... weaker forces of Wario Forums could do a lot about it.

So put simply, how has it managed to say intact after all this time? It has what I assume are at least three hostile forum locations nearby, two hostile subworlds included in CM30's computer and possibly (depending on whether it's on the internet) a bunch of places filled with evil armies and invaders about two minutes away.

P.S. Does anyone else think it'd be kind of cool if they actually addressed this on TV Tropes? Cause I have to admit, seeing Wario Forums under siege and CM30 having to fight his way out in order to join Glowsquid's party would be a pretty neat 'intro' or something.
 
@Glowsquid vs the guy at the mariowiki who calls warioware characters asian is my favorite new forums arc.
@CM30 would just go into peoples homes and throw their dogs into the enclosed pool area, once they returned home a flying headbutt will await them.

You forgot Gaming Latest, the forum associated with my other website. That's not hostile territory either.

As for what keeps it peaceful... do you want a real answer or a joke answer? The former is basically:

1. No/limited politics, hence very little room for the worst sort of arguments.
2. The site scope being so limited few nutcases want to use it. Trolls are attention seekers, they'll get more of it at DK Vine or Mario Wiki than this. They'll also get more of a reaction, because people over there tend to be... somewhat cagey when annoyed.

And I guess it's to do with the law of fan jackassery too:

As TV Tropes puts it:

If it's midway between "obscure" and "mainstream", its fans will be more vicious than fans of works at either extreme.

This site is arguably just a bit too small for the jerkasses to be attracted here/them to be a problem, while DK Vine is just the right size to have an extremely obnoxious userbase.
 
You forgot the Kitchen Island arc, where a push by old-time ultranationalists forced CM30 (then a spec-op named TruSkill Maestro42) to make a difficult choice about his old commanding officer from the Great Ape War
 
Small user base, seriously there arent that many people here, so not much is even talked about. And pretty much everyone who comes here only wants to talk about video games.

Ive seen nasty video game forums, though.
 
My theory is that's because Wario is a fairly well-known character, but the series itself is a bit more obscure (maybe even bordering onto ¨cult classic¨ territory on some occasions, but that's just my opinion) and almost everyone is indeed truly interested in Wario and is willing to discuss instead of just trolling.
 
I feel like "no politics" is too simple a response. I mean yeah, of course it can cause feuds, anything people hold in high regard can do that. But I dont think its the sole cause to feuds and bad blood. Like, I was once a mod on a fairly large forum, though only over one section of the forum. And I had to deal with such things, and it was the most far removed section from serious discussion anywhere on that forum : p Even here, we have had a few spats and junk, and they had nothing to do with politics : p

Like I said, Im not denying that such topics can lead to fights and whatever, but its not the sole cause of all strife in a community, and I dont think an online forum is a utopia merely due to a lack of serious discussion of any kind : p There are many factors to the reason behind how well an online community functions. The maturity of the members, and their ability to deal with the thoughts and personalities of others, as well as how they carry themselves when talking online. How much the community engages in conversation together, and other stuff.

I actually just read a post just now in the "Nintendo characters you hate" thread where a member mentioned secretly hating Luigi and Daisy due to how people react to it : p

Thought I could fight laziness and go ahead and post it here : p

Secretly, I kinda hate Luigi and Daisy. By "secretly," I mean I don't want most people on Google+ to know that. Because if they do, they might start arguments with me. They might even start arguments with me for loving Waluigi. Because most people hate him and they don't respect opinions.

It's like we're a quaint little village nestled in a valley of chaos; full of warlords, conquerors, murderers, rapists, etc. We're just too small and trivial for anyone to bother breaching our peaceful border.

Basically, there's not much for trolls to do here, so they mostly stay away. Which, of course, has a positive effect on potential future trolls, since they just want to have attention.
 
DK Vine didn't have a troll problem. It had a few here and there but 99% of the drama seemed to be based on a difference in ethics.
