A few snowflakes might be put off...
I hear from Time to Time some collectors from other Facebook groups downing the site. Example like today i Woke to BudgetStark saying was not part of the forrum because of bad experience from some thing i dont know why ,but i hear it from some once in a while and just thought its time to Stand up address the b.s issue. This place is Amazing for reviews to customs to great collectors trading and sharing news of new movie's comics new release's. I have nothing but LOVE for this site and very greatfull to share in the hobbys we share.
I didnt watch the entire video but Budget Stark stated: "I didnt like a large majority of the collector's attitudes [on SSF] and it's just a littlle bit too toxic for me."
Does he mention anyone specifically? Or by name? Or any particular thread?
Again, I didn't watch the entire video.
No he didn't call anyone out. He just states he used to be on SSF until it got too toxic for him? Seems a bit odd that he is making a vid about FB pages but starts by cussing SSF, like that is what was really on his mind. He will probably post another vid on why SSF suks so bad.
Budget Stark disses SSF in first minute...
Fair enough, if true. Though it's more a handful of loud voices than the majority of boardies. But I can't imagine that other outlets like Facebook are any better. It's the nature of the collector base nowadays. Particularly if you focus on the popular stuff like Marvel as Budget Stark seems to, because you get younger collectors, and a broader swath of people than you do in other niche areas.This is all i heard him say re this site: "I didnt like a large majority of the collector's attitudes [on SSF] and it's just a littlle bit too toxic for me." I didnt hear any other statements.

Because they're too busy knitting sixth scale sweaters and making little houses for their dollies to live in.
I haven't gone there in quite a while, but historically OSW was one of the more niche areas of collecting I'm referring to, in that it focuses on military figures, and not so much the geek stuff that we have here.Then why isnt there a thread on OSW entitled "OSW getting a bad rap"?
At least not that ive seen.
But I understand your point.

Facebook is where I've seen some of the worst aspects of...everything!
I will admit it: OSW is for the better class of collector.
I could go to each of those places and start such a thread. . .then they would exist.Ok then.
Is there a "toyark.com getting a bad rep" thread?
How about "Rebelscum.com getting a bad rep"?
"Statue forum.com getting a bad rep"?
Onesixthrepublic.com getting a bad rep"?
I couldnt find any thread on those respective sites with those titles. And i have a feeling i couldnt find them because they dont exist.
But i DID find "sideshow forum getting bad rep".
