OTF and my thoughts on its problems.

Try putting links in the first post so that people can find the other chapters easier. Kinda like this:

Chapter 1

Chapter 2

Chapter 3

So now the bunny can think, therefore he can feel, therefore he can love. But love is an incredibly complex emotion, and love and hate can often be interchangable. A 'tsundere' is a light example in human terms, but how do we know that our love isn't the bunny's hate?

Let's add this one to the slop bucket...

*forum about skibidi toilet*

A friend in my middle school had a mullet. He wasn't that big of a thinker. Never mulled over anything except if he should change his hairstyle; he never did.

Never! Love is a gut reaction

Chapter 2: Willful Support of Destruction

• I noticed this a while ago, but it becomes more apparent when you actually look at it. People really like defending OTF to the point of no return. They like denouncing it as a ‘place for outcasts’ or ‘area for people who are considered weird’ etc etc. There’s even some of these guys in the forum I made and am currently writing on!
   
   
  These are examples from inside the forum I made. Here’s the earliest example of me encountering one of these “defenders” as I call them:
   
  These people believe OTF is a place to “goof off” and be “children” or act childish. No. It isn’t. It is a place to speak of topics not related to chess or chess.com. It is still (or was) held to the same standard as some of the other forum topics (e.g gen chess diss, fun with chess, etc) and should be for the future. It is evident that there are problems on OTF that can be rectified, but these OTF defenders prefer to keep OTF as it is now, and that is not correct at all. Look at all the brainrot and idiocy on these forums. The only reason we barely have reasonable topics to discuss is because people make brainrot forums and other people get discouraged and walk away before ever making a post. Obviously, there is a high probability that any forum made on OTF will be overshadowed by brainrot forums or forums that fish for comments. 
  End of C2. C3 soon.

Chapter 3 (I think): The Welcoming Side of OTF

----------------------------------

Alright, OTF isn't all bad. Obviously there are good sides to it, and I feel the need to balance out the negativity with some positive things I have seen and experienced first-hand. There are many welcoming people in OTF, and they seem to be kind when a new person arrives on OTF.

These are just a few examples of the welcoming nature of the OTF community. In my time as @thethicc0ne, I experienced little to no hitches when interacting with people, and actually made new friends. Considering all the "slop" that's on OTF, some community members, maybe most, are actually nice and aren't representative of the slop that appears in the forums daily. I'd give my rating as @thethicc0ne a solid 9/10, as there was a pretty big hitch, but it's been buried under a large volume of comments. Mostly though, I don't think the forums are indicative of the wellness of the forums. Next chapter coming soon.
