Why aren't they in their own forum?
When I posted last week to say I stumbled into their ghost town by accident and found it to be the most boring five minutes of my life
…. they spat the dummy and said I hadn't gone into their other, truly fascinating other subs
yet here they are again
I am surprised you spent an entire 5 minutes there ...
Yeah, I'm a bit embarrassed about the length of time spent there
but I'd been in this forum for a few years and occasionally, someone would mention the Animals as if it was a steroided version of OzPol, filled with big hitters
I've never grasped the incestuous relationship between OzPol and the others and for a long time guessed the others to be US versions of OzPol, under 'global mods' and other deep level stuff. But I never cared enough to investigate
so when someone in OzPol linked to a thread in the 'Animals', I thought this was an opportunity to check it out
For 4.999 minutes of my sojourn there, I was puzzled, confused, and thought it must be a mistake. The 'animals' were obsessed with old-lady gossip about
this forum and the regulars here. That was the sole content of their posts
and I thought, this can't be right. Because it was boring as hell, was petty and trivial and even the posts came across as if the posters were half asleep
so much for the big hitting 'other' forum, I thought. This place, the animals, is on its last legs or must have folded from lack of interest years ago. But no, the dates were current
so I left and haven't been back
So it's not surprising the animals can't stay away from OzPol
shame they couldn't drum up some interest in their own place. But it seems their only interest is in this place. Like beggars with their noses pressed against the windows of rich people's houses, desperate to get inside
