The current franchise - everyone's opinions wanted!

Re: The current franchise - everyone's opinions wanted!
It is fairly sad that the Transformers fandom is best known for being a crowd of moany, angry gits. I only joined in around the time Animated was starting so I've no idea what it was like beforehand, but I can't imagine it was this bad before the movies.I guess that's the problem with getting a more mainstream fandom, you're also going to get some mainstream nastiness. I'm registered over at TFW, and it's a great news resource, but I never post there; like 'streaker says it's a much nicer atmosphere here, everyone can be heard so there's no competition to get news credits or be the person everybody quotes; no need to try to get noticed above everybody else.

I'm glad you're still finding joy in the hobby KG, personally I could never be that casual about selling my stuff, but I'm certainly not going to rage at someone whose collecting habits are different to mine.

Sunstreaker Wrote: That's the main reason I backed away from FMH. I went through all that shizzle with Civil War, TRHPS, and the Camarilla. I really can't be dealing with it. That's why no matter where I go, I always end up back here. Good people, great mods. No ego's.

To be honest, it only took a look at the story behind the founding of FMH for me to see I wouldn't like it there. Even with the best intentions in the world, they were always going to pick up the dregs of TFW; I wish them the best I just think that too many people there will simply be people that were pissed off at TFW - not necesarily the kind of people that will effectively start a nice community. And I'm most likely going to be buying some stuff from kapow soon enough; christmas presents etc.

A bit off topic there, don't want to start an argument over what's the best TF fansite (it's this one). Sunstreaker, I would suggest giving Power Core a try, Smoulder or Heavytread are good bets if you can find them.
