No problem pal, always here to be a pedantic fuck.

Barry Bummer strikes again


My point is that while it technically is
The spirit of a forum is supposed to be camaraderie in enjoyment of mutual things. Social media has become a place for people to argue or anonymously be the worst version of themselves and tear people down

Id like to think we aren’t that

weird. I don’t remember Napster having a chat feature. That’s crazy.

 

[Spitfire]

a forum is about a collective context
