the forums as good as its been since i joined, but admittedly that isnt very long.. if you want to see a shitty forum, look at the myspace metal forum
I came here when I was 15(I was a lot more active posting here when I smoked pot). It's changed quite a bit. A lot of good members gone. It used to be a little older an age group, and more hippyish. I was actually hesitant to post at first, because younger people were ridiculed more often than not. That's changed a lot. 14 y/o's? Not that this place is bad now. Just different.
Seems nowadays no ones actually hippy-like in these forums, most of the people around here are just looking for another person to flame because they have no god damn lives.
