The Stephen Fry forum

Jul 12, 2010 01:40

A long while back, I spent quite a bit of time on the Stephen Fry forum. It was a fun place, full of terrific people, but then the powers-that-be changed it so much that it became annoying to navigate. So I gave it up. Websites should be a useful tools, not annoyances ( Read more... )

I feel weird about that forum because it is part of the official site, so half of what I would say would seem sort of stalkerish in that context XD But yes, people are assholes, and what's more, assholes who don't know how much fun drinking pints with fat chicks can be. It's their loss, really.

It comes in pints?

In case you don't know I'm quoting Pippin in LOTR.

I agree with you.

Thanks. It's just sad; it really is.

Urgh, that's a horrible thing to find D:

storyfan July 12 2010, 19:25:25 UTC

It sure is. I won't be going back there anytime soon.

Oh no. :( Can't people at least get along on a forum that's named after Stephen Fry...? Gosh, I hate people.

Edit: I managed to misspell 'no'. -.- I blame the heat.

With as fluffy as Stephen is, you'd think people would try to be half as fluffy. But no.

That fandom keeps trespassing on my property, trying to hand out leaflets that make nice liners for my cat boxes.

I totally agree with you on that. It makes me feel that they're kind of letting Stephen Fry down in a way. In that they went there as fans of his (supposedly) and instead of being intelligent, nice, people like him (which he seems to be), they have to show their worst side. Alas.

And, yes, too many people use the anonymity of the internet to be giant assmonkeys. *sigh*

I wish more of them were nice like you, M'dearie.

I'll bet that's why Stephen stays away from it. He's busy anyway, but if he had to come on there all the time and correct people, well, I dare say he'd have the forums dismantled and just use it as a web page to promote his stuff.

I wish more of them were like you.<3
