What's with the forums?

[Bonoki]

The forums have become a misery hub, and honestly, it’s not surprising. People need a place to be heard. If you air your frustrations on Twitter, the so-called 'positive, wholesome' community will shut you down in a heartbeat. That leaves the forums as the only spot where negativity and frustration can breathe. It gathers here because it's been pushed out of every other space. For those who feel unsatisfied, there’s no safe space left to vent, except here. It also helps that there is the slim fateful chance that the devs might see your post or have it relayed to them. Thus fueling things as well.
