I dunno...the board has it's ups and downs. In some perverse way, I miss the drama...there used to be a lot of soap opera type action on the boards. Now, not so much. The work that has been done to keep the troublemakers off seems to have worked. Chat's a lot more homogenized now.
I liked it better without the post whores and the karma whores. Talk about your pointless threads.
And the board was cliquey when I came on. There was a regular group on chat, and you were either in with the main crowd, or you were largely ignored. Hell, I remember being surprised when velvett told me she read my posts. I think that's just the nature of the thing tho...you respond to those you know. Those that come on and immediately act like they belong usually do pretty well, as long as they're not fucktards.
