What do you expect from TFN. That is characteristic of them there, and the reason I no longer make it a habit of posting. The only people left there are youngsters who were born after or right before the SE came out (an 18 year old would be born in 1994 remember) and so don't care/know about the OOT, fans who literally are just ignorant so they don't see what the problem is or care, and Lucas/new-star-wars apologists who will do whatever Lucas says and love him for it.
The first two groups you will find anywhere, that's nothing new, you even occassionally get them here. Star Wars has always thrived on a young fanbase, and not everyone older is an expert about things we take for granted. But you may notice that they seem to be disproportionately represented at TFN. And that applies to the last group, the "Lucas fanboys" or whatever you want to call them. And they are all over that place. In fact, they run parts of it. And the reason these three groups are so highly represented there is because that is largely all that is left. People like BaronLando left. People like me left. And the moderates either learned to be quiet about certain issues or they went some place else too--in fact, I did and still do consider myself a moderate. This was not all by accident, Lucasfilm is the de-facto controlling entity behind much of TFN and has been for a long time. Lucasfilm closed their forums years ago because the TFN forums had long ago become the substitute, and the website is now a sort of unofficial subsidiary of Lucasfilm. And so the forum was moderated the way the official forum would be, and as the number of anti-OOT, pro-prequel, pro-SE, pro-whatever-Lucas-says members continued to grow exponentially through the marginalization of everyone not like that, they dominated the membership there more and more, which only gave them the ability to marginalize others even more.
Some of this was even more direct than just through consequence like that. A great many were banned, or threatened with it. In 2003 or so it was already so bad that they had to create a "Basher's Sanctuary" thread for critics who wanted to discuss things critically or bitch about things without have to face any consequences or get shouted down. Then even that thread was closed in 2006 or so, and a lot of people there were directly and indirectly driven away.
But the consequence of these two things is that they took the good discussion with them. Even posters there today sometimes complain about the lack of substance and the "good old days." A lot of the more intelligent posters stopped coming back--or were banned--and the ones that stayed behind got bored or else had few people to talk to.
So, take away all that and what do you have left? Casual fans, apologists, undercover Lucasfilm employees, and people who come there to read about crap like Disneyland Star Wars Days and the latest prequel action figures.
Sadly, it's one of the biggest SW boards around, but it's been so manipulated that it doesn't in any way represent the real Star Wars fanbase, only the parts of it that Lucasfilm has approved of. If you go almost anywhere else, whether its IGN or imdb or whathaveyou, you still have those kinds of people, but they exist in much smaller proportional numbers. I miss the old TFN, it had some major flaws and needed to be less fanboy-oriented, but there was a lot of good discussion to be had. I started posting there when I was just 13 years old in 1998, and so I actually have grown up with it, now that I am almost 30. And now look at what it's become. And it's been that way for a long, long time now.
