Yeah i must admit that i enjoyed the days when i was first part of the forums as well .... being only 19 back then i also said some stupid things and copped a bit of shit but we were always doing something as a group.
I feel the group of pals are gone .... kinda the community spirit (without sounding ghey) We have a lot of new people but how are we meant to welcome them and build up a friendship with them when they arent active members and support the club in events etc in the first place? Basically we have a lot more inactive members and some of them just become keyboard warriors ..... but yeah i think the scene in general has changed a lot and gone through a bit of a hostile phase.
Just do what i do - if you dont like whats happening, if it gets you down .... just dont have so much to do with the scene
