We may have served as a way of building clique identity via communal mockery of an outside group. But in the spirit of "new beginnings", who among us can say we've never indulged in something along those lines at some point. Although I wouldn't say I consider them among my proudest moments.
But if they want to talk about the obliviousness, in my case I can clear that up right now.
If you were there for the forums, it just seemed like nowhere else had a steady pulse. I could go into other forums, create a thread, and have it die without one response. Amid a graveyard of other threads that died without one response. I could post in non-religious forum threads and have it take so long to get a reply that when I saw it in my notifications I would no longer recognize the thread title. Even the more active forums could take hours to update, while the religion forum updated by the minute. Nothing else could compete with that kind of fast pace entertainment and of course it conditioned me to center my attention on the place of highest action. People even posted topics there that really had nothing to do with religion, because they wanted the thread to get instant high traffic. Now I haven't been on DDO since the beginning and I'm sure the activity has fluctuated, but this was just my experience.
