Fun Stuff > CHATTER
There oughta be a law!
jwhouk:
I'm a member of a similar web forum, but they're technically a "remnant" of a previously existing webcomic forum. Suffice to say that a certain comic artist got all biatchy over some of the members on the boards, decided to close it without warning, and then went to a pay-to-play format for his "new" forums. Unfortunately, that didn't work because said artist has a bad case of distract-o-mania. (Of course, if it wasn't that he was such a damn good artist, and the webcomic was his primary source of income, he'd be holding a sign saying "WILL DRAW COMICS 4 FOOD" on a street corner in the Metroplex area.)
Enough people got together and got a forum set up to be basically about anything - though it's very heavily slanted towards games and gaming (since the webcomic was Primarily about a Very strange bunch of People running a magazine about gaming). There's comics, games, weird stuff, a guy who thinks Rush Limbaugh is a liberal, and at least one poster who credits WoW from keeping her out of jail (or something like that).
Oh, that reminds me: TOBAL that owners of a forum dedicated to a certain topic should give forum members at least 24 hours notice before they decide to shut it down permanently.
Is it cold in here?:
TOBAL that anyone who holds your data, forum or not, has to give you a chance to preserve it if they're going out of business.
Bluesummers:
TOBAL that anyone who holds your data, forum or not, has to completely wipe that data from their drives and make it unrecoverable, upon your validated request. I'm looking at you, Facebook.

If you're thinking of some of my remarks, bear in mind: (1) my involvement clearing up the mess here, and: (2) I am also an active participant at PJ. I do try to remain balanced, while saying it like it is.

I was extremely fond of a lot of the people who left to go to PJ and I still keep in touch with some of them. This forum was a lifeline for me during several years of upheaval and change in my offline life, and I am very glad it was around. But despite that I can't escape the fact that the tone was just different and anyone who goes over to PJ hoping to find another QC forum is going to be disappointed. If you go to PJ hoping to find a forum with discussion and chat and a lot of interesting, intelligent people then you won't be disappointed - but the atmosphere is simply different. It'd be like going from a tea party to a disco; both fun, but different.
