Just curious as to why there are so few members here (333) compared to Ranerboard who has 37,663? Can anyone explain this? At times this board also seems so quiet too... doesn't matter. Those guys who run Rangerboard are nuts. Tried to go on again recently under a new name many years after being told to get lost because I argued with one of the admins a LONG time ago, and they discovered who I was and as of this morning was told "Banned. We made it clear you are not welcome here." So they don't operate with any kind of forgivness or trying to make amends, so if you're part of their boards too... watch out...

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.

You have my pity, TheGreenRanger. You're not the first person who had a bad experience on RB and you won't be the last. Sure, it boasts the highest activity of any PR forum but honestly, the only people worth talking to, the only people who will respect you, are either here on RC or TokuNation. If you're not welcome on RB, it's their loss.

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 there a long time ago. The board was just toxic as all hell. Couldn't say much without someone else telling you that you were wrong. Glad I ditched RB after a few days and found PRE and RC. Much better environments.

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 on both forums. I like both of them. I've had toxic experiences on both, both have their nice people and rude people, but that doesn't mean I hate either board. That's just how any forum works. At the end of the day, I don't see the point in hating on one. Just stick with the one you like and ignore the one you don't.

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.

Decade gave me the gears there. It was years ago, we argued, then I tried to reason with him, he called me a victim (In not so nice words) and then when I tried to reach out banned me permanently, and when I tried to go back these many years later, he found out who I was and said "We told you that you were not welcome here" and banned me again. Even deleted the Pianoman identity I had created over there. only like 6 posts in and he did that. The man does not try to seek reconciliation of any kind whatsoever.

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.

Made the thread to warn people of the toxic environment they have over there. When you go to visit without singing in, you look at the boards, and it is a terrible environment. So much negativity, and if someone disagrees with anyone they trash them. They have a huge hate on for JDF, MMPR, and some even hate the PR franchise yet come on to just bash it and that's allowed. I know others have also had really bad experiences there too. It is not a safe environment. This is why I made a thread - to warn people to not go there and experience what I and many others have.

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.

I was on RB even during the PRE days. I do have an account there, but I kind of lost interest in that board. I still browse trough it from time to time and read some threads here and there, but that's it.
Sure, I do not like how the board is run by its onwer & staff. But I like reading different opinions about different topics, so I just mind my own business there, make a reply here and there about whatever and move on to the next thing.
