This is actually a continuation of a thread begun by Fone Bone not too long ago.
I haven't been around as much lately, not only because of my busy schedule, but because I still feel that the environment on these forums are way too stiff.
It seems like it's very difficult to please some of these mods, because they tend to close up a lot of topics, even those that are well-intentioned. There are many others where the mods have to annoy everyone with a reminder of the rules. Even at the General Forum, one mod went thru the trouble of placing some of the rules at the start of each "Animation Domination" thread. Just for that, I can't even dignify those threads with a legitimate response.
Concerning the main topic here, I feel that a double standard has been established at the Disney forums. You're all familiar with the banning of the 65-episode rule, or anything related to Disney management. :shrug: Well, I pointed out in Fone Bone's topic that while WE can't talk about it, they continue to post news about it on the ToonZone main page. It even says at the end of the article, "Discuss this news in The Disney Animation Forum. "
And as you may have also noticed, things at the Disney forums have been slow, because so many regulars have been turned away from the negative vibes there. If I understand correctly, the forum IS open to discussion about the classic and contempoarary cartoons. But lately, talks of the new shows are light, and there are rarely, if ever any talks about the old cartoons.
To me, this proves that there's something terribly wrong here. I'm NOT asking for rule-free forums. But we don't come to forums just to "follow the rules". The fact that so many people are turned away from one forum is not a good sign for either the members or the moderators.
I'm sorry it's come to this, but I don't feel obliged to be regular at Toon Zone forums anymore. Somehow, all the fun has been sucked out of participating at any of these forums, especially the Disney forums.
