I was a member at the Highroad for a bit before I was introduced to the 'fire. I was quasi-luddite and didn't really get the whole forum thing. That place was so frustrating, threads locked, posts deleted, over nothing. There was some good content to be sure, but holy hell you couldn't say anything without it getting censored, and the conversations and threads were stagnant. It was like there were a couple standard questions that just came up over and over and over. I have never logged back in after joining this shchidtshow.
As to other sites mocking threads on here, it sounds quite a bit like the [bleep], painfully obvious, yet in total denial of it lesbian rich girls in high school making snarky comments about the smart, smoking hot babe from the trailer park that they simply can't compete with.
