We monitor the forums very carefully here at N4G, some say with fine tooth comb even.
Since there are 9 of us (not including the admins), at least one of us mods is on at any given time. You'll very rarely see some of the ignorant and rabid fanboyism present here on the main comments section.
We shoot down anything that looks like it could be a causing a flamewar, and thus, we have a more tight-nit and peaceful community.
If you ever get tired of the main site, stop on buy the forums, and check out what's going on. Like RuJoshin said, we have regular contests of sorts (besides the $$ contest), and there is always something to talk about, laugh about, or learn about.
Currently, we've just begun implementing sticked threads where users can post their reviews about specific games. In the future we may have users vote for which review is the best, and have it featured on n4g's sister site ZTGD.
