F!S Anon Meme (the ??th)


Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required (for those who struggle with recaptchas and stuff).
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it, though!

OP of the thread here.

Yeah. I think that's it. I mean more than just the internet. Bittorrent has managed to iron out the kinks. (will not launch into the standard 'back when I was a kid, I walked to school in the snow...' tirade of what torrents used to be like)

More bilingual fans are stepping up to help with translations. More techsavvy people are compressing files and putting them into formats for differing sizes and preferences. Or cracking DRM. It's amazing the degree of advancement we've achieved just through sharing media technology.

Alas, it also moves things along at a faster clip and then ... as you say "LOOK OVER HERE AT THIS NEW THING NOW".
