    What do we (TouchArcadians) think about fanboys of iOS games? I personally think that some people misunderstand the meaning of a "fanboy". People say that people who like a certain game is a fanboy. I hate people who try to defend or justify themselves by arguing about games and including the word fanboys in their argument. Overall, I just hate the word "fanboy"!
    This will be a discussion of what you think about fanboys!

    "Fanboy" is pretty 2003 ... hard to believe it's going to generate much of a discussion.

    It's supposed to be negative. Let's head to Urban Dictionary for the lowdown:

    If you're looking for the positive version of the word, it's "fan". The word fanboy definitely gets thrown around too much, but it's a perfectly good descriptor when used properly.
