The current franchise - everyone's opinions wanted!

It is fairly sad that the Transformers fandom is best known for being a crowd of moany, angry gits. I only joined in around the time Animated was starting so I've no idea what it was like beforehand, but I can't imagine it was this bad before the movies.I guess that's the problem with getting a more mainstream fandom, you're also going to get some mainstream nastiness. I'm registered over at TFW, and it's a great news resource, but I never post there; like 'streaker says it's a much nicer atmosphere here, everyone can be heard so there's no competition to get news credits or be the person everybody quotes; no need to try to get noticed above everybody else.

I'm glad you're still finding joy in the hobby KG, personally I could never be that casual about selling my stuff, but I'm certainly not going to rage at someone whose collecting habits are different to mine.

To be honest, it only took a look at the story behind the founding of FMH for me to see I wouldn't like it there. Even with the best intentions in the world, they were always going to pick up the dregs of TFW; I wish them the best I just think that too many people there will simply be people that were pissed off at TFW - not necesarily the kind of people that will effectively start a nice community. And I'm most likely going to be buying some stuff from kapow soon enough; christmas presents etc.

A bit off topic there, don't want to start an argument over what's the best TF fansite (it's this one). Sunstreaker, I would suggest giving Power Core a try, Smoulder or Heavytread are good bets if you can find them.
