I’m thinking.
Tumblr is great, but it’s hard to keep discussions of any length going. It’s also not great for sharing short fics or roleplaying, and things get lost in the flow way too easily.
Would anyone be interested in some sort of Mystrade discussion forum?
I know we’ll never be an enormous community, but we seem to be a small community who does things really well. We could do all sorts… it’d be easier to run things like fic exchanges. Prompt lists and so on.
Any interest in this? I’ve been looking at ZetaBoards… I feel like, with some work, this could be very possible.
OMG where have I fucking heard this before? The last time I fucking checked we already have a fucking forum to do this. It’s called Discord and just because you can’t be fucking arsed to go on it, you decide to steal the idea and rehash it.
You balls-deep fucking wanker.
You cock-sucking fraud.
Bokkle!!!
That is NOT how we treat each other here. AT ALL. You can think whatever you like, of course, but please find a more polite and civil way of putting it.
And the name calling and cursing at at a family member? NO. Just. No.
You know what else you don’t do to family members @theredheadinquestion ? Erase what they have done. But sure, I guess this is easier.
Or, @bokkle-oran-doove, maybe, just maybe, she FORGOT about Discord– since she’s not on it– and wasn’t trying to erase you or your hard work at all. MAYBE, just maybe, she deserves the benefit of the doubt, and maybe you should, in a polite and mature way, ask about it before going off.
Maybe, just fucking maybe, @theredheadinquestion , it’s happened to you enough times in the past that you know if you ask you get a lie. Or maybe, just maybe, you know that Moth has been on Discord in the last week, meaning that it’s not slipped their mind. They just don’t care.
Look if you’re going to be doing research on forums you’re going to come across Discord, it’s one of the more famous ones, and if that doesn’t jog your memory that you’ve been on it in the last week then nothing will.
So maybe, just fucking maybe, I have a right to be angry and voice it anyway I please.
You absolutely have the *right* think, say, or do anything you want. However, knowing the difference between can and should is a mark of maturity. There were better ways to go about this. Much better ways.
This was a wildly out-of-proportion reaction to what Moth originally said.
I am worried that there may be a nasty backlash from this incident towards Bokkle. Could I ask the Mystrade community to take a step back from this thread and allow Moth and Bokkle to sort it out via private message once everyone has had time to think?
I’d very much like to avoid a pile-on situation where Bokkle gets condemned – I think it’s clear something else must be going on here and I want to ensure our community is not poisoned by this incident.
Love. xx
