LGF has become cult, with a group of sycophantic posters who provide the cult leader with unending agreement and unending praise. Only the slightest deviation from the accepted cult beliefs is tolerated, and the axe can fall quickly on any who express disagreement. Their little + and - feature where one can approve or disapprove of any comment posted reminds me of the old thumbs up and thumbs down at the Roman Coliseum events, or sort of a different twist on the blackballing rituals used by other narrow, insular groups.
I was one of the earliest readers in early 2002, and a fairly frequent poster until about three years ago when the purges began for various reasons. Still registered, but just gradually drifted away as the site began it’s transition to what it has now become.

One could say the same about Rush and Sean Kool-aid drinkers! “People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones”. Just sayin’
Yep. I quit visiting LGF a coupla years ago.
It was the +/- system that finally drove me away...it was like being in a hall of mirrors, moving the site from mildly amusing sycophancy to over-the-top creepy narcissism.
It’s been a hugely irrelevant waste of time for years.
