I'm curious about other writing forums people using this forum go to. Years ago, i was surprised when a moderator on the Absolutewrite forum stated that advertising your book was a waste of money. (I stopped logging into it after that.)

If you want a laugh, and possibly to feel good, you could always try the kdp forum itself. You get some very strange people on there, the ones who think their 35 page pamphlet is better than anything Stephen King has written; the ones who are quite sure they've sold millions and Amazon isn't reporting them; the ones who really stick in my mind are the bloke who believed he was being abducted by aliens and they were dictating his book to him (he was good) and the one who believed the government were censoring everything he posted.
Oh, and let's not forget the one who insisted that Amazon were removing his fake five star reviews because he was so good, he was threat to traditional publishers. That was a good one. Then there was the one who joined and straight away thought she was in charge.
As I said, good for a laugh.
Is that the one that had something about KDP Support in the username and often posted completely incorrect information that they didn't bother to verify in the Help pages?Doglover said:Then there was the one who joined and straight away thought she was in charge.
No, this was a while ago. I can pm you her name, but the surname was a bird. She had a habit of saying she would have to report people, like she was some authority, and she used to read the last post in a thread then answer it with the wrong information. For instance, a cover designer was having trouble with her licence for the images and she pipes up at the end of the thread telling him not to make his own but get a designer! She did that sort of thing a lot. And she had a real problem with me, because I told her off a few times.Sleeping Cat Books said:Is that the one that had something about KDP Support in the username and often posted completely incorrect information that they didn't bother to verify in the Help pages?

Edited. Drop me a PM if you have any questions. - Becca
It wasn't allowed here either, but that didn't stop a lot of that crew from interjecting it into everything anyway.Maura said:Political discussion was recently banned.
Was this the one made because some of the terms or conditions here changed, or something, and people were worried about their intellectual property? Which is why you sometimes come across an old thread here with posts that have been edited to say "I do not consent" etc?Vidya said:this forum was created a couple of years ago:

Yes. The board was sold to a company and the new Terms of Service were something that some members here didn't agree with and/or were worried about. Many of them redacted/edited their posts because of it.ShaneCarrow said:Was this the one made because some of the terms or conditions here changed, or something, and people were worried about their intellectual property?
