It's not very active, sadly. Although at least I now have the context of what @Maxperson is talking about.

Hello?

huh? Strange empty thread.

True. I had to google to find it.

There was another alt board a few years back, but I have no idea if it's still around. A group of people from the WotC boards all came here at once and called themselves OTTers. At one point, they started their own message board to talk about stuff that wasn't allowed here. Googling anything related to OTTers doesn't show anything useful, though, for obvious reasons.

You're kidding! I googled OTTers and I got all of these AMAZINGLY ADORABLE PICTURES!

Awwww... I can't believe those little guys used to post on these threads.

I used to be in that group until I left a number of years ago. Pretty sure that board died out.

I'm sure a few number of people have blocked me. I guess my opinions are controversial when it comes to D&D, though I never talk politics or get into arguments about real-life stuff.

I do try to stay cordial and respectful to the fellow forum members here, but I remember I may have been a bit more easily agitated earlier in my times here. I've definitely learned to not let what people say get under my skin, especially when they're anonymous.

I've never blocked anyone, though. Never really felt the need to. If I'm done arguing, I just...stop arguing and let the steam clear in the thread for a bit. If I have at least some semblance of a good argument, somebody will pick up where I left off.

Though I never see them as arguments in the first place, at least, not as aggressive as an argument. To me, the threads I participate in are discussions rather than arguments and its perfectly fine if we don't see eye-to-eye as long as we can recognize and explain our reasoning for our positions.

I'd be interested to see the data on how many posts those who have the blocks are missing out on. If you were blocked by all of the Top 20 posters....it might truly be a ghost town.

In a sense, it feels like a self-solving problem. If you act in a way that enough people don't want you around, the site starts to become less useful for you.

Opposite of ignore lists, there used to be a way to see a list of everyone's likes and laughs. I can only assume that went away when the forum went to reactions in general (like, love, etc)

Different software. We moved from vBulletin to Xenforo.
