Uhh... okay. Something about opening an avenue for more abuse...

[Dunenewt]

I posted the first message on that board as well :)

Anyway, there's some interesting stuff on there, check the "runaway train" thread.

[Dunenewt]

Ah, they have a decent message board now.

I hate the original novels, but I loved the prequels. Why is there no board for me?

They probably figured such people didn't exist. Sorry Timenn ;D

Are you serious?

[Timenn]

No.

Relieved? ;)

I love the hardcore prequel defenders. The best part is that you never see the majority of them in the "classics only" forum.

Not to mention, what the point of having a "classics only" AND a "calssics and prequels" forum?

an almost perfectly even 50% of the topics on the "both" forum are about the classics, and of course, ALL the topics in the "classics only" forum are as such......sooo......what? The number of people who not only prefer, but are moved to make interesting conversation about the classics outnumber the people who prefer the prequels by a full 4 to 1?

not to mention that if you want to discuss the failings of the prequels, you can't talk about the terrible, pre-teen demographic writing/marketing style employed by brian and KJA.

I mean come on, are they seriously asking for PAYPAL DONATIONS on the official website? The DUNE 7 BLOG is full of ADVERTISING!!!!!!

*sigh*.

BH and KJA know where they stand. They know a "prequels only" forum simply won't work. 8)

'Cause they are too little brained, just to say "What in the world is that GEOD? ???"   :D

[gunner154]

It's really sad, how people can be so acquainted with the prequels and yet fail to even grasp jargon used by classicists.

[Sober]

The real question is if it is worth registering there.

[exatreide]

It's not.
