I don't know how people can boast this website as having a great community with the BBS the way it is.

I mean, just for an example. The way people talk about furries on there. We're really going off on people for making "weird" or "gross" content, sexual or not, when this website has had a lot of even weirder and definitely "gross" stuff, sexual or not, for over 2 decades? What, is all that somehow more "normal"? They also can't seem to grasp that drawing and/or being attracted to anthros is not the same as being a furry. Plenty people who do that don't want to be in that fandom.

Like, you can't be a welcoming community, or expect it to grow and get more support, and be like that. You just can't. It's really sad. Especially when a lot of these people are using this website. It feels very othering and I'm not even in that fandom. I'm not convinced it's some kind of joke either; feels meanspirited.
