Hi everybody

[Pyraxis]

Hi Gareth. I don't know you from Adam either (cool guy, Adam. Have you met him?) so it'll be good to finally see what you're like.

[Callaway]

to the outright bizarre (AFF is funded by global pharmaceutical corporations to bring back the soviet union).

wut?

I know for a fact that it is true.

I bet that's why Semi disappeared. He was getting too near the truth, so Gareth had him killed

Has Semicolon been on AFF lately?  He just seemed to disappear here.

Hi.

[eris]

Hi Gareth. I've heard a lot about you. I have joined AFF, but never posted or even lurked. Welcome to the cesspool.

Hello Gareth, to Intensity.

I don't know you at all either, I have barely looked at AFF.

Also, this is just the next step in a hostile takeover by AFF, right? I mean, we've got all the senior staff here now....

 I don't count 'cause I'm ex-staff and a mewling coward to boot! 

There's more ex staff officially a member here. EZ is on the list too, but, he's a zero poster.





Welcome Gareth.

Are you    (someone has to ask it)


And, I'm curious, what made you join here?

[Charlotte Quin]

Hi Gareth, good to see you here

[Al Swearegen]

Yes Gareth, welcome to i2. Pull up a chair make yourself comfortable. If you do not go screaming out of here or bravely forget to post shere ever after, I will give you a guided tour and introduce you to who is who.

[bodie]

Yes,  Al Swearengen's Introductions are a 'must have' for any new member.

I've been thinking a lot recently about the future of AFF as I personally won't have the time to keep running it personally and pikajedi is currently taking on a lot of the load - awesome as he is, and awesome as a lot of the other candidates for new mods are, we still need something more stable longterm.

In order to figure this out I need to look at some of the drama in the community and analyse it in more depth - drama apparently is pretty popular on this site

Ah, I2 as a place of introspection.

We even have a smiley for that.

 

I hope you will find what you are looking for.

More like "I2 as a source of information about past drama"

Surprisingly little to be found here, when it comes to that. More to be found at AFF itself I would think.

But, this place does have interesting drama dealing possibilities.

Actually i find here that their is generally a honestnot bullshit approach which is quite refreshing.
Callouts and arguments happen, sure, but they are not feared.
It allows for transparency and honesty and for shit to be resolved, sneakiness exposed, and people to have to make a case for what they are insinuating or shut up.
Misunderstandings too are exposed rather than not addressed.
It doesn't pander for fragile egos nor trolls nor emos.
That is not to say it is brutal either. Generally most people get on and we are a happy dysfunctional family of sorts.
I am more comfortable here than any other aspie forum bar none.

Hi Gareth, I have read your posts @ AFF and you seem cool.
