i love forums, i was an avid forum goer as a kid so its pretty nice to be using one again. especially for a comic i love so much. damn i wish forums were more common.

on a more personal note i dont really enjoy the typical “culture” of social media/messaging where you have an account and most of the time a bunch of unrelated stuff lands on your front page, or it feels like 1000 things are happening at once. even on a site like reddit, which is based off of webforums. i prefer having a dedicated environment to talk about a certain subject. i also really like that its considered super normal to have really long discussions, and as such there is no expectation to give instant replies. and unlike other sites where its possible to miss things bc of comments/messages being buried, you can just sit and scroll through the forum and sift thru all the things you want.

its such a non invasive way to talk+listen to people i guess, while still maintaining the thoughtfulness behind communicaton? idk… i just really like it ahaha
