I'll try to sum up for context, while acknowledging that explaining yourself too deep ruins the allure. But it seems fair here.Again, I didn’t even know what the difference is. It was very recently that someone explained to me what “the other place” even meant.
I dont really know what to tell you though. Believe it or not lol. I doubt I’m the only one. I guarantee you can trace my first post in one to something probably around 2016, when most niche threads began to die.
If you’re not in on a joke, you’re not in on a joke. And if you’re compartmented from a specific sub forum or topic, you’ll rarely see it. Keep in mind that certain members don’t post in certain sub forums.
To make matters even more complicated, I read active content on web forums, and do not even typically know what sub forum I’m in.
We in B&C are snobs and wanted to discuss the release of No Line on the Horizon with each other without having to wade into the board's U2 discussion forums with the sycophants. We decided the best way to do this would be to create a thread in B&C for a made up band to be able to discuss U2 without it being obvious what we were doing. Arbitrarily, we chose the name "Shuttlecock," and then went about establishing lore for it by re-writing every U2 song to reference badminton or inside forum jokes. The latter was mostly about Lance's mom. I believe this all began around the time Get on Your Boots was released.
