Came idk when but ipk was ending back then and it was fun seeing 100+ posts with 1000+ likes people crying over Barun leaving
I had come across this website long back during dmg I wanted a particular pic of kajen for my 1st laptop lol. I hadn't signed up then but later decided to sign up cause of a brilliant Fanfic writer in Arjun forum. And it started by curse - curse cause still into that show. I don't mind the fandom experience though, every forums had unique individuals its fun to discuss. I was a stalker, apart from Arjun didn't reply anywhere until some sony shows, colors show like dev, and now the cursed yrkkh forum π€£π€£π€£
I have already shared my grievances but whatever - the old layout, with Avatar sig shop was fabulous..old folks know what am I talking about. The gif icons, stacking request, excitement over new updates by graphicers, the tutorials uff. Unimaginable fun that was. It started my ps journey and I will continue it as long as I can. We just needed some things like private chat option like facebook, tagging option that's it. The update where the gif icon was killed and multiple signature option was gone was 1st death knell for my experience as a viewer. Now the blocking option - I like it though- and 4 words ka cribbing everyone is doing, the childish curse words thing, extreme moderation is plain stupid and irritating. It's killing the unique experience IF stands for- proper discussion among people. I have blocked people cause the toxicity was too much. There was a time people used to listen to each other and mods didn't need to intervene. I do appreciate how they are handling yrkkh forum but as a whole the mod experience is very souring. Getting post limit because of stupid arguments isn't fair and I know none cares cause that's the attitude we have gotten since forever. It's very sad cause in this era of twitter insta reddit where everyone is in bubble IF does offer a platform where people with different povs can discuss over a show. The website is losing is sadly. It's also a echo chamber now like other websites just added pressure of being politically correct everytime.
I have seen in real time how bollywood forum is killed. Was srk salman fights were ott? Of course. But banning people left right centre, extreme moral policing at drop of hate just hinders freedom of speech. Same happened with big boss, none discussing there this time whereas I see reddit has 5k+ posts. Very sad to see but serves the website right through with the wrong steps it's taking.
Last cribbing related to moderation cause what the hell right. Mods are doing unpaid job. They are also under pressure and I had good conversation with some mods like Shruti ahana etc. especially melli she was so nice empathetic without the air of being a mod. Like why you need a air this isn't a ceo job right π€£ but it's very visible in today's time there is a clique amidst the selected group of people. They are mods, they do the voting for banner voting, they win, they organise stuff etc. the mods when someone complains posts laugh emoji, mock them etc. Like why this power trip man? Are you also a manger IRL cause that's just funny π€£π€£
How the site nurtured me? Increased my tolerance to read bs. Controlled my anger π€£π€£ the urge to reply to stupid people. Expanded my imagination. Found out people are good out there. The bitc...ing sessions are fabulous.
