They have the thread at first because all the trolls, assorted douchebags, were causing strife. Then as it worked out the thread proved itself. Still had T's and D's, but way fewer and lamer. In about a year it will become clearer. Of course for the T's and D's who are 'unbelievers' Y'all can come on down just respect the status and try not to be AH's. No one cares whether you believe it or not, just don't like T's on the thread.
Totally not a cult. Not even one iota.
