No one panders to anyone on there, there's just none of that haughty i2 callout wank that you see here. How is that young-orientated?
S2 to me is aimed for everyone, but even though it's an aspie-orientated forum it's not about whinging about their problems. There's no AS-related forums to be seen, everything's aimed towards general discussion and having a few laughs. Drama can happen but it's not centred around it. It's more like ZOMG with elements of i2, it doesn't try to blatantly copy any place except in order to make various members be familiar with it. Frankly I'm surprised it lasted this long.
I had not seen any of that haughty callout wank here. Perhaps i am not looking to see such things in the first place.
Shleed it is early days yet. The initial recruitment drive was a bit off-putting. We had both Adam and Scrap telling all it was orientated for cool aspies and for young or young at heart aspies, or whatever the fuck they were trying to promote, and i think you said some other anti-i2 bullshit. I quoted the lot of you on this thread somewhere if i could be arsed looking for it, which I am not.
Problem with promoting it is, if it doesn't draw people there based on such promotion, then you may be right in saying" it is not like that", after the fact, but the people turned off in going in the first place are not gonna find out either way, as they never joined.
As I say early days perhaps promoting it about the other forums like Superboyians place and such will draw a steady trickle over and boost the numbers and activity over time. So long as the promoting doesn't put people off who may otherwise wanna come over
