No, this was before it became communist China. But me trying to start a discussion, albeit tongue-in-cheek, quickly spiraled downward.
As someone who didn't make it out of the early 1990's until a few years ago (hell, I still have/use a VCR), I have no knowledge of what TFN was like before about 2012. Was it once a website worth visiting? When did it become a dystopian 1984 type place?
It was always pretty bad, it's just that the "group think" got worse over time. I'm sure the other guys here can give you a better timeline. Again, this was about 13 years ago, but I made a mild bathroom humor thread in the off topic forum. It was deleted and I was told that there was no room for "potty humor" or whathaveyou on the boards since it was geared towards being family friendly. My argument that there's poop jokes IN THE F'ING MOVIES fell on deaf ears.
Perhaps a better question would be when did Star Wars in general become some kind of all or nothing thing? Was it with the Special Editions, was it with the prequels? Regardless of which, why did it happen? I mean, I remember plenty of people just agreeing to disagree about whether or not Jedi was an acceptable movie, but now it's like there is no debate even allowed to be had.
