The percentage of people who actually read the stuff in between the covers is pretty low here. The reason I am in this hobby, is I like reading the stories, and looking at the various art styles. Most of the people on the Modern boards are more about getting that lemming-hyped variant, putting it in a sealed case, and oogling over the latest sales price on ebay. Well LA-DEE-FRIGGIN-DAA! CBR's forum is much much better for discussing modern comics (for the stories). This place is great for discussing vintage comics and I especially enjoy getting the perspectives of those who read them off the stands back in the 60's and 70's. There's a great forum on classiccomics.org for older stuff, too, but it's more information and not so much lively back-and-forth discussion.

Didn’t CBR get sold last year and was turned into a clickbate site? I haven’t been back to their forums in years. Did they survive unchanged?

I check the DC Hardcover thread almost daily to see what's coming out and see what other folks are reading. That crowd has gotten me interested in titles I wouldn't have wanted to read in a million years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank GOD the worst of these old school offenders hang primarily in the water cooler so venture there at your own risk , but they still often find their way into comics general I dont think that's very fair to say. Senior members have for sure been more inviting within the past few years, you should have been around in the early days. lizards2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank GOD the worst of these old school offenders hang primarily in the water cooler so venture there at your own risk , but they still often find their way into comics general Instead of endlessly complaining about other people, the answer is the same as it has ever been, for everyone: make better, more logical, more rational, more reasonable, more coherent arguments, and don't be so easily offended so often by so many. Those who claim that other people are intolerant, who "constantly argue", who "always think they're right", and who are "bullies", are almost always, if not always, the ones most guilty of those things themselves. If one finds themselves constantly upset when confronted by those with different opinions, perhaps the intolerant one isn't those other people... I have to say, most jokingly, because I love you RMA, how did that work out for you? RockMyAmadeus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
