Well, Hiya.
I'd first of all like to say I do have experience with online forums. A bit. I've been on a few video game ones, and one for Skulduggery Pleasant. (Book I love.)
Now, another thing I'd like to say is...
Well, I've spent the past year of my life on LEGO.com's online forum. And reading some of the posts here about them really breaks my heart. :(
Now, I fully understand that if you are older you would want more intellectual conversation, more interesting opinions, less biased arguments, and so on, and that I can understand.
However, searching a few things, I found a topic about looking and trying to find the dumbest post by users on the lego message boards. And some people found some posts made by people I have been/am in contact with there.
Er...yeah, on the LEGO online forum i'm Skulduggery77(3). (Two accounts, long story, lots of drama, etc....)
So anyway, I've decided to branch out here now. I like more intellectual conversation, and so on, so I will enjoy posting here, but not as much as the other forum.
p.s: The Lego.com forum implemented a likes system. You can like posts. Im the most liked user there by 4000 likes, with around 8500-8600 likes. And the user with the second most posts, if you include both my accounts I have around 55,000. :D
