You guys are all so damn smart. That's why I love it here.
I have been thinking about whether or not it would be better for "the smart fans" to move back to the official site for a couple of days now. My thoughts were not fully formed on the subject and I don't have a whole lot of online community experience so I wasn't sure how it would work. I do remember when Alissa made this board wondering if people would really leave the other one, and boy did they!
I think milowent's theory of official sites being the "barrier island" of the internet is really interesting and probably spot-on. From what I witnessed yesterday in the Cassie bag discussion on the main site, I think it's safe to say that it was a total mess and not very encouraging at all.
Now what we have going here at Anchor Cove is so good, there isn't really a great reason to leave. Perhaps the creators (or The Norns as some refer to them) will ignore our ideas if we aren't posting on their boards. Who is to say? Do we qualify less as fans if we don't post on their web site? I don't think so...

You know how, at Thanksgiving or any other big Holiday, there's the kids table and the adults table? LG15.com is definitely the kids table. I think I lose 5 IQ points every time I go over there and try to read through the posts.

A few thoughts: -- This board is less confusing. Too much going on at LG15.com. For someone who can't devote all day to this stuff, it's not useful after a while. -- People here are nicer, and more respectful of variant ideas and theories. -- Over there, ANY YT vid, no matter how silly, is treated by some as being "possibly real", even obvious parodies like "Paul and Andrea" (which is hilarious, by the way). (Shameless plug: How I got into LG, and my thoughts on the same, at www.youtube.com/orvetti)

Aw, thanks. Yes, the Moderators here understand that the job of a Moderator is to promote an atmosphere of MODERATENESS, go figure.
The Moderators on that other forum? Feh. A pack of luser fanboyz and catatonic freaks.
noa hides under her desk, a la Bree

A pack of luser fanboyz and catatonic freaks. ... who also speak in tongues *hides on the opposite side of the desk* I'm not so sure the other board is so bad. We just have a much nicer signal to noise ratio. I think Milo explained it best when he called it a Barrier Island. I don't think I could wade through it all over there, but there is some really interesting discussion too, the day is just not long enough.
