Hear, hear! *raises wine glass to Entmoot*
I've had the same experience. I thought "it's such fun, why not look for a Hungarian messageboard as well where I can talk?", and looked and looked, and yes, there were decent ones with fun communities, and not-so-decent ones, but... none of them has the magic of the 'Moot, just as you said.

Yes, i agree. there is a certain magic to Entmoot. Ive been to starwars.com and theonering.org and none of that cameraderie which exists here could be found on those sites.
You mooters are funloving and nice, and i truly like it here. There almost hasn't been a day since Ive registered that I haven't been here. |

The magic comes and goes. There can be periods of days, even weeks, where everyone seems to click so nicely, and people are mutually respectful and genuinely fun-loving. There are also dark periods, though, where the predominance here is in certain non-Tolkien inspired Gen Mess. threads, when nasty vitriol gets spat around, and mean-spirited posts find their ways into discussions about being Gay, or current events hot-topics, and then the magic is decidedly very absent. In biasing situations, some people get their voice silenced while others get kid-glove treatment. That's when I like to stay away, and unfortunately that's what keeps the strongest-voiced of us away for far too long. Jersey Devil and Afro-Elf, or Baby-K, and others go away from Entmoot precisely because of this magic getting quelled by this intermittent, often egregiously unfair bias, but whadda ya gonna do. I wish they'd come back, but it isn't too hard to figure out why they leave.

I agree about the magic coming and going. There's definitely good and bad times. Ultimately, it's the people that keep me here - the vast majority are really fun and thoughtful and kind and interesting, and it's so wonderful to make Tolkien references and know that they'll be understood!
I agree about there being some pretty bad posts in some of those threads that you mentioned, as well as some other threads, although I imagine we might disagree about who they're coming from. I know several really kind and thoughtful people that have left the Moot because of posts like I've seen on some of those threads where the rules are trampled on, and Mooters abused, in the name of self-expression. As you say, it's not too hard to figure out why they leave

&&&&& sorry, BB. Don't want to muck up your cool thread, here. I cross-posted with you before; didn't see your request for us to stop the little fight. Our bad.

It's the nature of 'netty communities, I guess, that posters come and go, and the 'mood' of the board changes.

Interesting phenomenon on the board is this: we write and write and write…how many books-of-discussion covering how many thousands of topics have we collectively written??!!! But, the conversation doesn’t stop, and we keep coming back for the social scene, the banter, the JRRTidness of it all…There have been some popular posters here that have moved on, remember, sticking around and meeting NEW posters is as worthwhile as clicking with the same gang forever….
It’s all good, is meee point. I also think IMO: if you transgress and fight public, you should make-up in public for the good of the board….(whatcha think?) I should have been at my 1000th post ages ago, but I too, somewhere along the way, started having trouble (seemingly) posting decent notes…errrrr, posts that garnered a response, if you will. Thank goodness for the Lyrders!!! (thumbs up to GW) ….and nice to see BB loitering around again…he’s sooo easy to snick beer from
