Sooooooo......

I think there's still a place for the message forum, although you're right - Twitter and Facebook are sucking in most of the newcomers.

From a retail perspective, I like to think of these 'Mass-consumption' social networking sites as the equivelent of the 'Big Chain stores' - and sites like TF@TM as a friendly local independant business.

Everyone goes to the 'Big Stores' for their needs, but we all prefer a little quality customer service.

I think you're right as well Ghosty - Transformers have certainly lost their lustre for me. I can still get excited about G1... but that's about it. I'm all about the GI Joe now adays.

I don't spin by here for the 'product'... I come for the atmosphere and conversation.
