Forum Feedback

I actively avoid action figure threads on Reddit. People on these forums are a lot more informed about action figures, including action figure history. There are a lot of us that have been doing this for a long time and are very passionate about.

Reddit is largely full of karma farmers.

Action figure collectors on Reddit all come across as 13 year olds who have never touched an action figure before the one they are posting a picture of. Usually wanting to know how to fix it after they snapped something off.
 
The way Reddit is set up (and most social media really) incentivizes a weird form of negative populism in fandom spaces - there's a lot of cachet (aka upvotes) in negativity. The same comments every single thread complaining about prices, dunking on Hasbro for this or that, repeating the same jokes ad nauseam. Obviously critiques are necessary and good, but there's something structural that just drives everything towards this really negative energy.
 
I can't lie and say I'm not negative myself, I tend to hyperfocus on nitpicks all the time, but Reddit's mindset and format has always driven me away. Incredibly useful resource when googling how to solve literally anything, though!
 
I was finally able to enable friendly URLs tonight. Basically no material change for you all, but you shouldn't see the ".php" in the site URLs anymore. It'll help with SEO.

I tried doing this a few times since we launched and each time it resulted in an internal server error. Through trial and error, I correctly configured the .htaccess file (the server file responsible for redirects). We should be good to go now.

If you had any threads bookmarked, they may not work now. Sorry about that.

Something you can get used to or no?

Curious how others feel. It doesn't make sense to me to have it in the hodgepodge at the bottom of the toy board, either.

I think that’s the thing about it though. It’s like starting a list with “etc.”

I probably won't have time to look this week, sorry.

The weird thing is I don't think I've noticed them on anyone else's posts? Surely we have other Tapatalk users.

No sweat, I just think it’s weird. Hopefully it isn’t too disruptive for the rest of the community. I also don’t need to post, since my contributions rarely rise above low-effort trolling, anyway.

Just going to test this again, though.
