Just curious... members... Rangerboard sucks

You do have to think folks are busy with daily real life stuff like jobs and kids. And not on all the time. And every message board have good and bad about them. It's all about how member act against one another. Sure ranger board may have more members. But really how many of them are active. I know many used to or even members there too. There is variety of rrasons. And look right now we are usually dry on here as there is not much news coming during mid break times. To of course international airings.

Ya I had my fair share of problems at that board. Reasons I left there and came to this board. A more friendly and nicer place to talk with folks.

I was 'permanently banned' from Rangerboard about five or six times throughout the early to mid 2000s. I've been with them with my present account for well over fourteen years, they know who I am and I don't hide either. I still occasionally prove to be a bit hot-headed, but they've all grown to tolerate me.

I don't get a Birthday thread every year though. That bothers me

Most of the discussion about PR is usually devoted to discussing how good the show used to be, with Beast Morphers it's kind of "well how did Hasbro screw this one up today?", it can be exhausting to read. I think fans over there forget they're pushing well into their 40s so not a whole lot of the show is going to appeal to them going forward, not unless you have a fairly open approach to the format and the demographics it comes attached to. It usually helps to be a parent at this point and enjoy it more through your kids' eyes.

 I'm not really going to pick a side here, I have friends over on RB, and I have friends here. I wish we could all sort of get along, but some attitudes are hard to adjust.

It should be noted the forum is kind of on it's last legs anyway. We recently had to switch servers to a format that isn't so accommodating and looks very cheap. In a few years I doubt RB will be around, or a lot of other Toku forums in general. Make the most of these places while you can, sooner or later it'll all be discords and twitter.

I'm also on both forums, but I haven't had any toxic moments on there. I do think we could do with posting our custom figures that are created using other Rangers as a basis. I would love for us to have a Custom Toy thread one day. I'm lucky that I tend to ignore the toxicity on the forums, as giving them a reaction means that you are no better than the ones causing the toxicity on that forum in the first place.

Okay, and all of that sounds like personal beef. But... why make a whole thread trashing them on an unrelated forum? That just seems toxic.

In regards to JDF, he more than earned that backlash over the years.

And they don't hate on MMPR all that much, they're just annoyed that it keeps getting revisited and other versions of the franchise get ignored, but that's understandable given none of the other versions made quite the same impact as MMPR. It's a combination of franchise fatigue and cultural jealousy.

That said, the BOOM comic books of MMPR get a lot of love for doing what many feel the show hasn't been doing in quite a while in producing compelling stories and fleshing out details that were underdeveloped in the actual series.

That ALSO said, there is a growing disdain building for the BOOM comics also, so I don't know how long the love will last there. I don't like BOOM much myself and have said so.

I think you mistake the negativity for ageing pub humour, a lot of us are pushing 40 now, so PR's not going to have the same reverence  it had on us when we were kids or in our teens and twenties. A lot of 'em are of the opinion the franchise's best years are behind it and they want to discuss different things, hence why a LOT of the forum is devoted to discussing everything else in the entertainment industry. Movies, tv shows, video games, comics, Pokemon, successful reboots of other shows etc. 

Trust me, if you thought RB is negative now, you did not want to be there in 2002-2005. RB in that era made 4chan look like Sesame Street.

You didn't want people tangentially complaining about that forum in the Samuel Benta thread. So now we actually have a thread where complaining about that forum is the whole point and you still have a problem with it. People deserve to know what they're getting in to and there's nothing toxic about warning them.
