I think it's as simple as a lot of them just being WoT fans (which is not a crime. ) Joel Send a noteboard - 11/05/2011 06:20:08 PM
Except for the quick poll apparently, where I regularly think: Who IS this?
One should think it's rather easy to leave a comment about Osama, the latest blockbuster or their favorite other book every once in a while. The fact that they don't does come off as a bit outlandish and solitary, but I dunno how to fix that.

People posting almost exclusively on the WoTMB is no more unprecedented than avoiding it. Somewhere along the line, unfortunately, good natured ribbing turned into something... else in too many cases. It's unfortunate on more level than one, because RAFO could be growing by leaps and bounds thanks to resurgent interest surrounding the final WoT volumes (I wish I could see the ID numbers on each MBs posters, 'cos I bet 80% of our newbs come from WoT). That's less likely when WoT fans get a grudging welcome or none at all.
