Define Cynical Fan Forums

After having spent months of watching the forum yet never joining, it finally took the anticipation of this latest strip to prompt me to sign up an account.

Thank you, DCS, for this latest plotline. Based on past stories, it was sensed that this was definitely inevitable, and so thankful to see Ozy back in a dress. Why? Because he can't get any cuter, being able to handle it far better than Millie ever does. The past strips with similiar moments are always favourites, foremost being Isolde's school violence documentary plot. Looking forward to seeing more.

You should have really put this in the Airport forum.

Just So You Know! Welcome!

Mm, yeah, the airport forum should really be up towards the top where people would look first...

Welcome to the forums, enjoy your stay. Your daily rent is 3 acorns payed to me at 12:00 noon. If i'm not here drop them in the nut chute.

Didn't even see the Airport subfolder for the forum. Oh well, thanks for bringing it to my attention and thank you both for the kind welcome.

I will be expecting the payment promptly at noon tomorrow.

Or today if you live in this time zone.

Rule #1 of forum...ing: Be careful to post threads in correct forums! By careful observation, it can be seen that each thread in this forum corresponds to exactly one comic strip. This thread sticks out like a sore thumb in this regard... thus the conclusion should be that it should've been posted somewhere else.

My personal rule #2 is never make your first post a new thread, because if you have accidentally stumbled upon a forum of a-holes you have a better chance of survival by keeping a low profile. Personal example from a webcomic community (not this one):

On IRC:

* Me joins
<Me> Hai guyz I like this webcomic etc etc etc
<Someguy> Cool blah blah
<Someguy2> etc etc
* Time passes
* Me jams to [ Some artist - Some song ]
<Someguy> OMFG HE'S A SCRIPT KIDDIE HACKER, HE USES SCRIPTS SO HE MUST BE
<Me> Uhhh it's a one line /F3 script, it's nothing.
<Someguy2> ban ban ban
<Me> You can't be serious, it doesn't even trigger automatically, I just hit a button every once in a blue moon to announce.
* SomeAdmin sets mode +b *!*@*.whatever.submask.I.was.using.back.then
* Me was kicked by SomeAdmin

Now for the relevant bits on the FORUM (and yes I followed my Rule #1):

Me in new thread: Hey I just joined #********* and they banned me for announcing my song once... umm by accident... can anyone tell me what was up with that?

* 5 minutes later *

-- This thread has been closed --

See? It's not safe out there on the internets.

Although there was at least one nice person who PMed me to let me know the forum a-holes were pretty much a separate group from the IRC a-holes. See, THAT would have been a good response in my thread. Oh well.
