I joined for rom hacking and it took me several months to realize there were other sections on this site
kinda wonder if that's how the current rom hackers on this site feel
let's just say that my journey as a new user was filled with embarrassments, one after another. a lot of which was my own doing, but a lot of which wasn't. pc back then was very cliqueish so it wasn't great. :c
i'm glad that era is done and over with.
always been curious to what you mean by cliquish. Have noticed you mention it a couple other times.
I'm relatively newer (didn't get on here until late 2017). Even then there were certain topics I was avoiding, since I didn't want to intrude.
it was more or less about how popular you were than anything else
you can imagine pc of the mid-late 2000s as your stereotypical high school drama in pretty much almost every way, and not always in a good way, either. back then it was more or less about how popular you were than anything else and the culture then promoted that.
But...but...isn't it still like that? D=
I feel like today's internet is 20x that same high school drama spirit but on a much larger scale. ><
Altho I guess one could say foruns are now being an exception because it's no longer on the trend *cof* reddit *cof* so most people here just like to chill =)
really sad that the internet is being condensed into roughly three websites.
not if i have anything to say about it
those places have their fun parts (well, not facebook unless i really enjoy people i knew in high school trying to get me hooked on pyramid schemes) but they're not communities, they're content feeds. the fact that those have largely replaced actual communities makes me v bored with the internet.
i like being in actual communities and having chill people to talk to that share similar interests to me so we can have fun conversations. unfortunately, social media currently does none of that for me.
