I think it's kinda wondered from its true point by now. Originally, someone was saying something about how much they like the site...

I think people take the internet way too seriously these days. Of course people are going to act like dicks. I'm guilty. People shouldn't be too quick to judge a forum based on the snide few who make it an unpleasant experience. The review seems to be attacking the mods, though.

I find it humorous that we let one person's opinion make us all lash out at one another.


Here's my suggestion--Write your own (honest) review. To be so pompous to believe that there's no room for improvement is ridiculous. Everyone, everywhere could stand for a little improvement. It's human nature to let things slide when they're familiar.

Go into each forum, check out the threads, even ones you don't read. Look at how people interact, write notes to yourself. Then write your own review. You'd be surprised what you might see with an objective eye.

Then make changes from within. Maybe the quality of your writing will improve, maybe your replies will be more compassionate, maybe the general tones of your posts will be more positive. Either way, we have nothing to lose.

I think they sum it up quite well. I did laugh when I first read that, but being a "noob" here I have already seen a few incidents that would have the posters banned on other sites. It's funny it you don't care, but for some it's just plain spite being dished out.
