The VO'ers cribbed about us a lot, but to be fair... We're prob. got the most freedom to discuss what we want then most other sites out there. Save a few things we can't go into real solid detail over, we cater for every taste that's Vocaloid related, or at least give space for it. We have our own thoughts and opinions, but pardon me for calling us it but we're "vocaloid nerds". Its a force of habit. ^_^' I think I'll have to take that advice, haha. I've definitely always enjoyed being here- there's so much more freedom and there's more respect in a debate.

Like I don't think I've ever seen anyone jump to conclusions in a debate here or get heated/offended, at least not in a long time. When I was younger and brash I would get that way sometimes, but it seems like as time's gone by everyone has generally matured quite well.

I remember VO could get really hot; when VIVI was "announced" it went from trying to figure out if she's illegal to someone getting offended bc someone mentioneda crime that happened and had no way of knowing that offended person experienced a similar situation.

Like things just got out of hand and got hot very quickly over in VO. I had been invited to join a discord group by a member a while ago and it was basically just a burn group (i joined VO around two or three months before Azure decided to kill it), where people were complaining very angrily and hatefully about mods and other members.

Funnily enough, the person who'd gotten offended by the crime mention was the person who made it...and continued to be offended.

Forums to me just seem like they get to be pretty toxic pretty quick...and seeing VVN temporarily lock a forum bc an admin's feelings might've gotten hurt over a valid critique...it doesn't give me high hopes, haha//

And there is no shame in being called a vocaloid nerd-- I wear that title proudly, lololol
