Hi ya'll

[Rafael367]

Welcome! Yes, they're concurrently running boards. I think the forced registration to view content does tend to up our numbers a bit. Although on the flip side of that we also seem to have a greater diversity of posters. I guess members figure once they've had to register, they may as well put their new accounts to use...

In any case, at first there was some contention over what each board was going to develop into. There was a particular conversation that took place before F3 was created that made some of us leery of the joint. They seem to have both evolved into stable and diverse communities, though, so more power to them. You'll occasionally find things crossposted on both of them, like when I scanned "Ikiritasu Mother" by N.o.-chachamaru and it appeared on F3 a month later. You'll probably want to stay active on both though, you'll see things here you won't see there, and vice versa.
