OK this is my favorite snake forum, but lately I have been getting a bit discouraged to even participate much anymore. It started with the DYK thread, watching the same people chat about random stuff and rep each other over and over. Then the social groups thing, because ONE random thread wasn't enough I guess? I checked it out, and one group I had joined that just ended up consisting mostly of annoying flirtation between two individuals, now there are a couple of invite only groups with 3 and 6 members respectively, with it seems like more groups starting every day between more groups of friends so they can talk without others being able to see. Whatever happened to just sending PM?
Is it just me but what the heck happened to the main purpose of this forum which to me would be talking about our snakes, sharing stories about them, thoughtful discussions about morphs, posts about pairings? Yes there are still a few posts like this, but more and more I am getting discouraged with the amount of frivolous, unrelated stuff. It gets old to wade through the drivel and try to find relevant things.
TBH I have been posting less and less anyway. I have less time for one thing but also the responses are few when I do bother. I have been in a bad mood all day so what the heck I am just posting this - I call it like I see it. I just really miss seeing more relevant interesting stuff like when Dean used to post the controversial topics, stuff like that.
I fully expect someone to post "If you don't like it GTFO" at me now.
