Forums and Fans

I have to say this before I actually have any fans that don't know me personally (that's assuming I ever get any fans) but I don't really like forums or fans very much. And I especially don't like forum-going fans.

I have been part of a few forums in my time, mostly those related to my interest in Games Workshop games. They never last very long as I tend to grow bored of GW games and GW fans fairly quickly, though I do return to them every now and then. Every forum has some cool people everyone likes balanced by some annoying retards everyone hates. In fact I generally find trolls liven things up, it's actually the boringly annoying intermediate people, lacking two brain cells to rub together, that make me avoid forums.

I have never been inclined towards joining forums based around webcomics or blogs mostly because I don't have that much to say y'know? When I have some funny comment to make I usually just send Manny, or one of my other friends, the link and we laugh about it for a few minutes and then we're done. That's it. What more is there to say? Commenting on websnark is the closest I've really come to "participating" and even then I always end up posting at the very end after seventy five other people have said everything I wanted to say.

It's not that I don't want fans, I want fans, I love fans. I just don't want shit fans.

I also don't really want a forum. Ideally I would love to keep the system I have with comments for blog entries. So people can say what they think about a comic or a blog entry. But if someone made a forum for the fans of the Berkshire Hunt how could I not check it out? How could I not want to go over there and see what people were writing about my stuff?

Fortunately I don't have to worry about this shit yet because I have about four fans (or more accurately "regular readers"). *waves*
