J.M. Matthews Posted December 31, 2017 Author Share Posted December 31, 2017 See that's the whole idea. "Amateur Citizen" journalism.

Hornshire Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 @Adminderaptorpat @Roggo_Doggo Not sure who moved this, but... This is not a Rant. This is not an Editorial. There are absolutely no* diatribes, tirades, or arguments. What does exist of politics and opinions is coincidental. This is light, general discussion. The format of this thread does not in any way differ from the "What YouTube video are you watching?" thread. FFA is not IB. It is not a cesspool of blithering idiots, void of intellect and culture. (IB was not actually that either, though it was advertised as such.) We would appreciate it if you would stop reinforcing derogatory misconceptions. *Until now. Good job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's okay, they probably put it here because it's tough to categorize under something more niche, like anime. I'm okay with this being in Free-For-All. Easy girl! As long as teh vibe stays positive and informative with good articles and video articles, we will probably be just fine.

If this was moved it's probably because someone thought the thread might get more business if it was posted in a folder where people are wanting and expecting to read articles and editorials.
