Yo Bunai, the majority of SaveRuby was centered on Twitter (it's a hashtag, after all!). This is partly because Twitter is where Misha communicated to fans, and partly because Twitter has by far the largest userbase. Most of the vitriol directed at PowerFX came from tweets. On VO, mods try to keep people from getting too rude or rowdy (although it was very difficult in the Ruby thread).

I don't know where the people harassing PowerFX came from, SaveRuby was also extremely popular on Tumblr so that's what people suspect (due to Tumblr stereotypes. But no one knows for sure. There was a push on VO and Twitter to be civil towards PowerFX.

Basically, you gotta not generalise people. There's always a group of jerks on every site, but that doesn't mean everyone that happens to post on a particular domain is responsible. I'm sure there were people waiting for the box on VO, but I don't think many people bought Ruby on here, either. D:
