I dunno, I don’t see much difference. Julie was instead swarmed by everyone asking her either relevant or redundant questions all over the place. The reason it wasn’t so bad back then was people didn’t really use the forums back then either.
It was only when people realized they could whine and bitch to their heart’s content is when the forum became more popular as a shitpost central. This forum desperately needs some moderation: Even if IMC has to choose them out of exemplary members.
