@axwax It doesn't exactly upset me, it's just that feeling of "okay, this is an established club of people who enjoy their inside joke genre". And that's totally fine!
I just wanted to let you, as someone who's obviously "in", know that not everyone is getting the impression that it's a particularly welcoming group.
Like, assume you know nothing about it. If you go to bonkwave.org, not only does it not really tell you anything, I even felt somewhat ridiculed for even wanting to know.
