GAH!!!
Some people can be SO bitter on the internet!!!
I frequent many different forums, and when one them was down (due to a fire that knocked out the server), I had posted a heads up kinda thread over at a similar forum, so that anyone from the other forum could see it and know why they couldn't log in this past weekend, only to find that in less than 24 hours, the thread mysteriously vanished! Needless to say, I was majorly pissed off!! I mean I know that the person in charge of this forum just so happened to be banned from the other one, but damn, just how fucking bitter can they be!? Sheesh!
Unfortunately, I'll not be posting in that forum anymore, not when it's run by some narsisist, who's gotta have the biggest signature (and PM'd me to tone mine down, BTW), and is IMHO, a major control freak, and I'll always have that fear of having some other post or thread of mine deleted...Well, let them have their precious board, now that the other one is back and running smoothly, I'll be there more, and I'm sure no one at the crappy board will even miss me!!

The fandom world is a wonderful place, you meet the nicest of people, but the underside of the troublemakers and jealousy discolours it sometimes.DhaniGrrrrl wrote:Some people can be SO bitter on the internet!!!

Another actor I follow, and post regularly on a board for ran into some trouble a little while back, in the end 1 board became 2, and attempted alienation of the other board began. The whole issue was a personal issue between the 2 ppl who ran the boards.
As I had friends on both boards I stayed on both, I also socialise in rl with them too. An event recently saw ppl from both boards there, I had made arrangements to meet with ppl from one board, unfortunately the other board is ran by a control freak, (who does do a lot of work for the online community, so the whole sorry mess is real shame) seeing that I was there with the other board, I was ignored on the event, and since I am now being slowly alienated on the other board, that the control freak runs, I used to get invites to all the events now I don't get invites and my friends are being told to not invite me, fortunately my friends are good friends and ignore that request, but it can make things uncomfortable.
All of the above because of something that went on between 2 people, something I have personally stayed out of and chosen to not take sides, but now feel I am being forced to. I really will not get involved with this school girl mentality, but the whole thing is tarnishing my enjoyment of the actor, and making me consider whether I even want to stay as part of the online community for them.
I could understand the above if I was rude, or didn't contribute, but I always contribute to both boards, I share photos and artwork, and post regularly.
The upshot now is, i will not got as involved with any forum as I have been in the past.
