Kinda brings back memories. I was here since before V1 even premiered. The fanon placeholder names were just that, placeholders meant to be replaced with the canon names (I came up with Almace for Cardin's mace). The practice died before V2 premiered.

I did notice some toxicity when LiveandSound joined around V2, and he made it clear that he did not suffer noobs gladly, which is not healthy for any forum I feel. While was quite rational, his bad far outweighed his good, and eventually was banned.

As for theories by tmblr users "fishing for likes", I don't believe that's entirely true. You see, tmblr uses a "confession" system, where you post your theory or head canon and leave. There doesn't seem to be easily readable comments, and either you like it or you don't.

We however have a conventional forum with rational members that tragically have little patience for bullshit, no matter how benign it may or may not be. But the important word is rational, they are not SS members dedicated to hounding down creators of "degenarate art," they're just impatient people who have a keen eye for detail and adhere to logical deduction, not hurt feelings (as the Pyrrha Truthers have found out).

And keep in mind this is at our worst.
