I caved and finally decided to make an account for a number of reasons. I used to follow lolcows back on 789chan/8chan, but the community was insanely cannibalistic and virtually everyone was an A-Log and at a certain point Chris-chan's updates just got too dark for me and I felt really gross about following the community at all. I've always maintained creating an account on a drama forum is asking to become the subject of a thread on a drama forum.
That said, where else am I going to post at this point? I can't deal with how horribly 4chan is run anymore. My user name's terrible, but it's not one I've ever used before and I figured it wouldn't be taken. I live fairly isolated, and I'd been using 4chan to compensate for that. Now that I don't see it as a suitable forum anymore I have to post somewhere people are remotely like-minded to try and keep up with events and feel slightly less isolated.
Also, I have a lolcow I wanted to post a thread on I don't see discussed anywhere, but I don't know what site etiquette is yet on posting a new person and I'd rather avoid personal army accusations. I tried dumping it on another lolcow forum and was immediately banned with the message "no threads on new people."
Hi.
