Like others here, I ventured out to read other threads. Man, it's gotten nasty out there! Sometimes here, but it's more of a roller-coaster here.
I posted a few weeks ago that VN has changed for the worse. It used to be like a neighborhood bar--jokes, brags, semi-civilized arguments, and the occasional scuffle. Now it's more like being mugged non-stop.
I hope the mods (and less vitriolic members) can get this atmosphere turned around or at least dialed back some. I like being here as a contrast to the outside world, not a continuation of it.
And thanks to the mods and Freak for what they do. I was a moderator for five years or so, and it's not easy. :hi:
