Where We're Best Off......

In the Star Trek forum now that people aren't falling out over the series, they're falling out over the toys!!
You can't express an opinion there without getting flamed if someone doesn't agree with you. It all started with a member who happens to share (unfortunately) the same surname as me calling people names for expressing something he doesn't agree with, and before you know it, you dare not utter a single word against AA or DST policy without getting flamed or having your maturity called into question!
At least here, we can share our hobbies ~ the good, the bad and the ugly without getting flamed.
The new forum is actually a worse place to hang out than the old one was latterly.
The AA site is certainly not "better than ever" like the site admin claims, and I'm certainly not hanging around to have the piss taken out of me for being a completist.
I tell you, the whole site is rapidly going to hell.

I have no ill will to the AA forum it's sort of like the big brother to this forum. Hign interest there means more Trek and maybe more folks stopping by here on their way out of the internet town, so to speak.

The few times I've been there, I found the place either annoying or boring.
I'm happy here.

...how quick the overall mood is changing there and everything gets hostile.
Hm. Usually I choose to simply ignore threads, that change like that...
...and here at FHC's it feels much more like home...

This place is more enjoyable and easy going. After all Star Trek and it's related merchandise are hobbies not Life so I see no reason to want to decimate another person for sharing a different opinion on an internet board about a fictional product.
I like it here.

I pop over now and again, just to see what's going on and add a token remark or two. I much prefer this place, its alot more friendly and does remind me of what the AA fourm used to be like. I suppose fourms tend to go downhill the more members it accumulates , at least in my experience (which isn't much really). It's a shame.
And the layout is all wrong there too.

I notice that that person, who if im right, is a member here as well, hasnt posted in this thread. For the record, everyone has a right to his or her own opinion, but not to put others down for their opinion, even if you feel they are wrong.

I agree, the atmoshpere is a lot better here. It's much more balanced and certain patterns of behavior seem much more restrained here. I don't know if people feel that DST and AA keep a closer eye on that board so they feel they will get more attention from them or if it is just that more members over there are more prone to jumping on the "bash the PTB" bandwagon, but it's far more volatile environment over there. Maybe it's because that's a company run board and this is FHC's board and people keep things friendly out of respect for Mark. Whatever the reasons, there has never been much behavior here from what I've seen that would cause tempers to flare. I think, for the most part, the members here keep things pretty friendly, to each other and to the retailers and the manufacturers. So yes, I like things a lot better here as well.

Any way I like it here as well, but we should make sure that thsi thread doesn't come off as arrogant (not that I think it does) in any way, because if it does the next thing you'll see is a thread on AA bashing everyone here for being Eliteist... which again I don't think it is, I've just seen that type of thing happen before is all I'm saying

Now if you like it here then that makes me happy. If you like the way I run the operation that makes me happy as well. I just like to post about Trek and to be honest I an only interested in Trek unless they are going to make new Trek minimites. Therefore, if you are like me and you want to be a member here then that makes me happy knowing that like-minded people are here. I have some experience as an Admin and I think that I am fair and open-minded and that forums do not need tons of rules and staff that carry them out like mindless drones. That statement is not directed at any other forum but as a statement of how I run the forums that I Admin on. On this forum there is only one rule,
Again, I am glad that everyone likes it here so far but if you have a problem contact me and lets see if we can work it out.
P.S. It is a great forum isn't it.
