Ok, you may not like this, but I am going to say it.
I learnt about LD’ing on Dream Views, which I thought was more professional looking than ld4all, which I thought looked a little cheesy (sorry).
To deal with some of the quotes of r3m0t…
A. “Are they really obsessed with post count?” No, we just don’t like people spamming it with posts about the rank, because, frankly, it is pointless spam.
B. [Discussion on Shared Dreaming] Well, duh, members of the forum are always going to have mixed views on things, obviously, in this thread, views conflicted.
C. “The main admin doesn’t like post counts.” Paperdoll EP is not the main Admin. icedawg, as far as I know, has nothing against them.
D. “Om my God, a 13-year-old has a post count of 2046? With 9 posts a day?” And why shouldn’t he have? Just because he is 13 does not mean he is stupid or inferior. Infact, he is possibly one of the most well known members of the forum.

A. “Also, many people on dreamviews have like zero tolerance with new people.” This minority of people have improved since, unless I’m missing something, and the community is generally very friendly.
B. "What I do not understand is why they became so hostile toward ld4all. Seems like it happened out of the blue from what I could tell. I could not find anything that anyone from ld4all did or said too or about dreamviews to instigate such strong feelings. DA is right they do call us names and do try to make fun of us. Why All that has done is turn people off to there site. Who knows I might have joined dreamviews that day but, the hole atmosphere there turned me off. Just as well anyway. I most likely would not have been too active on that site. ld4all is home as far as I am concerned. " This is another small minority of people, and nobody else can see why they are hostile towards ld4all, possibly because of the negative views here. Nobody calls you names outside of Senseless Banter, and, as the name suggests, nothing you read in Senseless Banter should be taken seriously.
icedawg, you have only one thing I want to comment on.
“i find myself at somewhat of a loss in regards to the slight deviation from that friendliness all of a sudden.” I joined Dream Views in May. The main atmosphere of the site was generally pleasant, welcoming, and friendly. Only in June did I notice any lack of this, and, again, only from a small minority of people. This, of course, did not last long, and this brings me neatly on to…
I feel there is no reason for ld4all to be hostile towards Dream Views. I feel there is no reason for Dream Views to be hostile towards ld4all. In fact, I feel this must end. Now.
