Maybe I'm alone here, but has anyone else noticed a bit of a shift inthe Rolex discussion forum?

It used to be a very friendly, classy place...

Lately there seems to be a lot of angry, inflammatory bickering posts and responses...seems like the mods are working overtime..

I'm finding myself over here on the Omega sub forum more often...

I'm sure that I am probably reading too much into it, and probably getting a selection Bias based on the threads I choose to read, but I feel that over here (the Omega group), the focus is still on the mutual love and appreciation for the timepieces...

It just seems friendlier here -

Anyone else notice the same??

(Bonus Poll:
how many posts until someone tells me to go *&^% myself?)

I think there's more positive and friendly responses than not, but enough negative / smart-arse responses to make it feel unwelcoming. That why I browse but rarely post.

Occasionally this subforum gets trolled as well but its the main place I come to these days.

Welcome lol any forum can be subject to trolls or people who cause up a stir but as long as the community as a whole is good it will prevail :) happy browsing

In think it comes and goes, I get a laugh out of many of the "bickering" posts. I'm just glad people are passionate enough about watches to get that into it

It's all good
