...this board is definitely scary; for the
longest time, since I didn't visit any other cel
boards, I thought the entire community was like
this and was going to quit. The hierarchy is not
only disgusting, it's severely limited and close-
minded. I hate to say it, but this board is like
the online equivalent of high school. It's clique-
ish. I shouldhope most of you hold yourselves to
higher standards than that.
Now, note that this is not an attack, but merely
a verbalization of how I, and many others, have
felt as we verbalized our feelings off-board. In
fact, on certain boards, comparing your community
to Animanga is an insult. There's something wrong
when that happens.
This board is not all negatives...of course not!
If it were, I wouldn't visit it! But it's
starting to become highly unejoyable. I love you
guys, all of you, but sometimes people seem to
just have...problems on this board. Myself
included, unfortunately...I hope that I've gotten
past that stage, though. I've never seen so much
flaming in my life (of course, what usually
happens is some idiot flames someone they
shouldn't have, and so everyone else flames HIM).
Sorry if this angers anyone...I just felt the
need to air out my feelings that this board can
be horribly unwelcoming. I think a FAQ is in
order to prevent newbies mistakes, but even more
people should try to check their behaviour.
Thanks for your time,
-Misha
