Forums and you
This is inspired by the other thread.
I have my fair shares of banning or not allowed to speak in Chinese MA forums. Each forum has its cultures and targeting audience or just different crowds. In the world of internet or instant communications, each forum is like an electronic village. I read a lot of forums. After a while, you would know what they are like. In one forum, I posted a lot of info, references, and what I think. I got put down anyway. What ever I posted is useless etc. I even quoted the books where my research from. -- Then I learned that, you may only post and paste "quotes" from classics and famous practitioners. Any thing else is not valid enough. The forum became posting and pasting classics and famous articles. I might as well read the books. And the only appropiate post is Ding or agreed. Heng Hau or excellent/very good. -- My point is that know their cultures or what they are like.

For the most part, they do not know you.
If they know you, whatever you said, correct or not is not important and they let you post or speak. Hua Yeng.

ive gotten to the point where i read more than i post now.
often you will try and share some knowledge or experience, but often, if it is not what people want to hear, it is lost. generally i reserve my comments for myself and keep my insights secret. now i read and absorb for myself and choose not to share so much. often it seems a waste of my time and effort. now if i really want to share with someone i privately talk to them.

Yes.
Private forums are by invitations only. School forums are for students and teachers of a particular school. Some other Chinese MA forums seemingly public are actually still "private" in nature. How do we tell? just read the forums for a while. Forums are still for posting info and networking. Other than that, discussions can only go so far or so shallow/little. -- end of rants.

Commercial forums are the ones with banners and ads for clicking.
Private forums do not have ads or banners. Just comment or talk about whatever your experiences with MA forums overall.

Forums are places where people come to vent -of course everybody believes they are the exception to that. Maybe youll learn something, or maybe youll just talk a little ****, doesnt matter. If you take forums seriously, then you might find yourself taking life seriously, and then youll be really ****ing screwed.

Video forums of you tube changed the internet culture entirely. Guess what. It was bought off with 1 billion plus dollar. People share personal video or music video. The subscription rate snowballs.

I still don't understand.
If you are saying big brother is out to censure people on the internet then would not a political forum be better than a Kung Fu Forum to express those views?

Well.
I was not really after the particular news event. Just to start up some topic(s) to talk about. Forums are sprung out everywhere. Forums about a product, a book, a piece of news, etc etc

Forums are fun, but they're easy to get too involved with and addicted to
 Like you said, different forums have different personalities and you have to read a bit first to decide if your personal style is compatible with the atmosphere of the forum. Though I haven't posted a whole lot this last year, I like this forum because it's someone casual, has a few really knowledgable people to read from but isn't overly "scholarly", and just enough controversy on ocasion to keep things from being to boring
