I took your comments seriously and did some research to see if indeed this forum has been made 'hell' .
How many threads does each page have? 18 threads, on average, except for the first page where some threads are stickies and can't be moved.
I counted 5 threads that could be explicitly labeled 'strong criticism' from the first 10 pages....
Now let's see what is contained in the first 10 pages:
Daily written updates.
Discussion threads
Articles on RBO- from indya.com and Tellybuzz
FF (fan fiction)- 9.
SS (short story)- 4
OS (one story?)- 4
VM (video mix)-4 (these may be old threads updated with new VMs)
GOTW- Game of the week
DOTW- Discussion of the week
And many threads which make requests about the show to the CVs, but say 'please CVs' in a respectful tone.
In all of these, the new members found only those threads that strongly criticise the show and concluded this forum is 'hell?
And they chose to PM certain members and not others? How? Shouldn't they be writing to the moderator Veena?
If you read Zennn's analysis, you will see how much has happened in the show. Three new actors/characters were introduced in Nov, and one more in January. The story has been since then in permanent turbulence. Loyal fans express anguish. How would new members understand that? Naturally, they won't. But that's ok. They will follow the story soon enough...
Of course my own personal view is to always use a respectful tone... but then, if I were to tell those people to tone down their frustration at the track, then I should also be fair and ask some people to tone down their enthusiasm for certain other things na? But I don't because a forum is a democratic place... If people can go gaga over a pink towel, then people can go berserk over an MMS. All is fair in love (ShaNak) and war (Shaan-Rahul) and we have both in RBO!
Ofcourse criticism should not overpower praise because then the show will sink. But that is not in our hands...it is in the hands of CVs. It is they who can make fans love or hate a show, not fellow members... That has to be done by Swapna ji, Star One, KT, Yashu and other actors. It is their story and their performance which makes this forum exist, not the other way round.
