There just happens to be a lot of negative focus on this site. Is certainly not all bad, and I appreciate the serious discussion, and fun times we have. But a lot of it is. Some days I take a look at the new posts feed and don't really want to look. But you never know if there are any jewels hidden in the shit. Usually it's all shit though.
Hate filled agenda? That takes it too far frodie. There is no agenda at all. There are many reasons why forums like these have a lot of negativity. I would say the number 1 reason being that most of us have real life friends and family to share our good stuff with, but no one to vent about bad stuff to. I definitely think the good positive things greatly outweigh the bad though. This is, if you can filter out the troll or 2 who are insistent on spamming the entire form with hatred. Those few certainly do not represent the community as a whole. If you need to be reminded that this community doesn't have a hate filled agenda, then just check out Mystik's recovery thread. If you want to know what kind of forum this is truly, post about a serious issue you've been struggling with. Something that is just really hard for you and then ask for advice on how to deal with it. If you're being sincere in your post I think you will see that hateful isn't the word to describe this community.
