    So I go and start up a thread based on apparently is an unpopular opinion around here - get jumped on and called troll for it (even though we're nowhere near the actual definition of 'trolling' - I guess troll around here means "An opinion we dont agree with") and it gets deleted out from under me without so much as a by your leave.

    When did the forums go so downhill, to be so hostile? Is it because I'm a intermittent poster (at best), that I'm not in some kind of inner circle? That I wasn't not toeing some kind of invisible party line?

    Thing is, this used to be a fun place that wasn't so hostile to strangers and part-timers. I find that terribly sad. Ah well - I guess I'm done here. And yes, this is the point where you people cue up all the incredibly clever "Don't let the door hit you on the ass as you leave .GIFs."

    You have fun with that.

    I am not sure whether I should make fun of you for grammar and spelling and whining or agree with you.

    According to your profile history, you haven't posted a thread since last July, and that was in SWC. What are you talking about?

    You know your old thread got merged and not deleted, right?

    And that the bulk of Community doesn't browse Lit?

    I browse Lit. I can also kinda see what they're saying it does seem if you don't follow majority views or perceived as such you are called out or picked on. It can be seen as unfriendly.

    I... what? I was hoping this was going to be a "the JCC is mean" thread. Instead it's a... "the SWC is mean" thread?

    Hi, a couple things to know about this board

    It's the JCC and has always been this way. At least as long as I have frequented it and I didn't for prob the first 5 years after joining. Still weird, still fun and sometimes hostile. Again, it's the JCC. Those of us who have stuck around a while may have grown to know each other in ways we don't yet know you. Give us time. Post, play and don't ever take things serious here.

    Oh and intermittent poster is now called a Quitbie... at least those of you with old register dates who only come back on occasion.




    EDIT: it's not even us being complained about ????


    Don't let the door...

    This thread is the equivalent of wearing a shirt that says 'ridicule me.'

    Hi! I merged your thread, as my colleagues in this thread have noted.

    A couple of tips:

    I. Going to another board to complain is a little bit silly, since nobody knows what you're talking about.

    II. Generally, it's better to PM a mod when you're concerned about mod actions, since we're the ones who can actually help you out.

    III. This isn't North Korea, we don't feed people to dogs for not toeing a party line. And if we had a party line, I wish somebody would've told me because I had no idea.

    I don't understand SWC is like JCC? Like an undead damned vampire the JCC has infected another board? Cloud City Cantina? Woodchuck races taun tauns? Peter Cushing Fan Club? Vessel name ideas?

    I've been here since 2000 and the JCC hasn't changed. Come in here with a sense of humor and a thick skin and it's a pretty awesome place. It's not a place for people who are unable or unwilling to laugh at themselves and let jabs roll off though.

    In other forums I've seen unpopular opinions labelled as trolling, but it usually isn't the mods doing such labeling.

    I'm gonna go get some fast food, eat it, fart a few times, then put on some coffee. I hope to come back to this thread for further elaboration.

    Oh, and one other thing. If you've had a thread disappear on you, chances are (like now) it's actually been merged. Check your own post history and you'll be able to find it; if it were actually deleted, you wouldn't see those posts.

    Hey I've known this guy since like 1998, online. He used to post to an AOL SWRPG mailing list that I was a part of. So was Genghis12. Fun times.

    Be nice to him. [face_beatup]
