Fuck this thread.

So what was the Amazon forum all about? Was it just a bunch of people who subscribe to Amazon?

It was just like here but more regulated as far as cussing and such.

I have to laugh at that. You're thinking more along the lines of the reviewers forum, for those types. You had quite a few top reviewers posting there. I had a friend there, that her well over 2,000 reviews. Most of them were highly intricate.

Another one?

You guys have dozens of threads about your selves and your stupid petty feuds. And now you assholes think you need another thread dedicated to your selves.

Go find the internet and create a board of your own. GET THE FUCK OUT.

It had a wide array of topic forums, from science, to the metal forum I visited. It got out of hand with trolls, and socks. Accounts that were banned could still report people, and people I won't name probably spent a good bit of time reporting each other. Eventually people were disappearing for no reason at all, even Aimee. Socks became a norm, so you could stay ahead of things. It seems Amazon was just fed up with the forums, and they were just banning people rather then addressing issues. They eventually gave notice, that they were discontinuing the forums in Oct, 2017.

Seriously, is this JPP or Amazon lite?

Oh come HM you know that all forums require new people or it will turn stale and die. Besides look at all the free entertainment we old Amazon folk give you.

They don't give entertainment, all we get is their bitching about their old board battles.

Hims just mad because most of us don't buy his climate-change-is-a-big-fat-hoax drivel. Like his idol the Toadstool, he loves the poorly-educated.

Oh I see, thanks. But the common denominator was being a subscriber/user of Amazon, right? I love Amazon myself. Prime is the best. My Fitbit Versa charger died last night, I ordered a new one and it was just delivered.

I agree totally.

Yep, you had to have made a purchase to post reviews and/or on the various forums. I think it was minimal at first, like $0.99 or something, but then they upped it to $5, then $50.

"To contribute to Customer features (for example, Customer Reviews, Customer Answers, Idea Lists) or to follow other contributors, you must have spent at least $50 on Amazon.com using a valid credit or debit card in the past 12 months. Promotional discounts don't qualify towards the $50 minimum." (https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custo...6045254&sr=1-1)

Eventually they got tired of policing the forums and closed all of them except for the Top Reviewers one. Vine might still be there too, I don't know for sure.
