Maybe, but, then again, it means you can almost completely avoid a Witt or BMan from showing up and ruining everyone's dinner for a few months.
This pretty much.

Maybe.
If so I'm surprised you would say that. HM is by far the closest group of people on the internet I've ever met and the vibe has been consistently positive for the last 10 years. There is a lot of mutual support and the overwhelming volume of posts are about peoples lives and not about gear. ILF seems way more prone to negativity and in-fighting than HM has ever been. Sorry to hear your experience wasn't positive if you were ever a member.
Mostly, but not completely true, HM was always clicky as shit. If you rubbed a few choice people the wrong way it was easy to become a pariah there, nine year former member bud

Haunting Mids was/is a kind of fun forum. I got an invite and then got 86'd for being inactive, which was kind of lame, but I get why they do what they do.
If you don't like ILF leave ILF. bitching about a non-extant circle jerk is silly.

Is anyone bitching or circle jerking here? Maybe we're reading two different threads, I thought the discussion was mostly on the level . . .

Just a general statement related to this:

Fine I wasn’t a member.
That’s why I said maybe. The exclusivity factor always annoyed me as did the over priced effects. Plus I’ve met several members that were complete tools.
In retrospect you’re probably right and my post is misguided. I’ll admit my faults. I’ll also agree with ILF being negative and I’ve often thought of leaving the forum for that exact reason. Well that and the constant circle jerk.

Right on, though I'd say a single comment to take issue with in an ongoing 4+ page thread is winning for gear forums in my experience.

Clique-y here and every other forum I've even see, but that seems to be part of the culture brought on by the mainstays and heavy contributors on any forum. Takes time to get in on it.
