2000 AD Online Forum

I would have to say no, although their presence would very well probably improve the board and the quality of posts quite a lot.  I can't imagine even Scojo (not a dig Scojo, I'm in your fan club) would insult Robbie Morrison to his face.  Well...

But at the end of the day it is a board for the deluded ramblings of fans.  Not probabaly a discussion forum for artists (who probably have better things to do, like work).  The truth is that views on here probably aren't representative and would give a false indication of what people thought of their work.  

Certainly no editor in their right mind would run the magazine based on this board, so I hope writers and artists wouldn't take on board comments from this board, which I imagine would probably be either over-congratulatory (and thus of no use but to an deflated ego) or the opposite which would probably be just plain hurtful.

There are a few people who don't think twice about insulting a fellow poster, but they are the minority (and it sometimes is provoked).  I wonder how many droids have visted this site, and been utterly repelled by the twisting tormented horror they have discovered!   :0

Anyway just another boring muse, feel free to ignore me.

(No, I was just kidding, everyone look at me, ME! ME!)

Any thoughts anyone?

i know a few droids who lurk here regularly, more out of cabin fever than anything else tho. so they claim.

my ibook is hot. i need to stop typi

I reckon there will be a big scrap in the Ministry of Sound toilets, with droids having their revenge on any message-boarders brave enough to turn up!

I personally like the idea of the odd droid or two dropping by. If you tried to run the magazine based on the opinions on the board, you'd end up fairly confused, although I think any (considered) feedback is good feedback.  

However just in case the new editor chappie has decided to let democracy run riot I suggest more Strontium Dog, more Colin Wilson and more Redondo (though on a suitable strip this time - Missionary Man was just not a good idea!)

To get back on topic, it's nice to hear from an 'insider' once in a while...

Of course they should drop in any time they like.  they should be first checked to make sure they have hides like Rhinocerii.

I think they should, just to see the general reaction to stuff.  

One of the best things about the Message Board is that we all have varying opinions, and most of us are able to argue those opinions in a reasonably intelligent way (as opposed to coming out with garbage like, say, "Storming Heaven is shite" and then not justifying that rather crass comment).  I believe there's more constructive criticism than unreasonable insults on here.

Having said that, how do we know that Scojo isn't John Wagner in disguise?

Trough

And besides, just how representative are we of 2000 AD's overall readership?

Not very.

Well, I know _I'm_ not.

I have a life :P

Heh heh heh!

  Maybe Tharg should just show the new guys around, if only to get used to the level of flak they're gonna get off the die-hard fans..."No, no, NO! Dredd's left glove does NOT look like that, you stupid...etc"

>Having said that, how do we know that Scojo isn't John Wagner in disguise?

Ha-Ha, Ha Ha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah, Ha, Ha , Ha hahahahahahahahahahahah Ha-Ha.
