Popular Post mstrox 6,651 Posted November 2, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 2, 2018 You call it shitposting, I call it camaraderie. (It's also not people who are bored and have nothing to say - we were like this in the early 2000s too). It's the reason I've come to this forum for 19 years, over half of my life. It's also the reason that I don't bother with forums like FSM, which is, yes, far less silly, but also boring and much more genuinely mean-spirited. I also think that the level of musical knowledge at JWFan, and the level of the discourse around music, has gone up over the past 10 years or so - people who write music, who can intelligently talk about music, etc. There's MORE of that now, in my opinion.

What is a well-known injoke, obviously sarcastic statement or friendly ribbing among a seasoned group of people who've already known each others' behaviour for years can seem like mean-spirited, useless or idiotic clutter (which it rarely actually is) to someone who hasn't had a chance to, or hasn't bothered to observe and understand these inner workings. I don't think that's necessarily our, or the former of these examples' fault. This place feels quite like "real" people interacting and having fun while FSM from what I've seen seems a bit soulless.

Thanks. I haven't been even been here too long, but because everyone's character is easily shown on the forum, I feel like I know you all better than some people I see everyday. Thanks. You're my social support. Before this I knew very few people who simply appreciated the music and films that I do, so this has been a great opportunity for me, being able to chat and post with fellow admirers. Thanks.
