Friends, while I did share my indiscretion of last night through an earlier post, asking the males to reveal themselves (😛), this snooping activity did astound me with a few revelations.

And I want to raise a toast - toast to us, ZKM forumwaasis.

Let me tell you why.

First of all, I was going through some of these other forums which are above and immediately below us (well, as I mentioned earlier, as part of my competition assessment to reach the top of IF 🤓).

I was left stunned on seeing some of the threads - members were bashing each other, calling each other vile names, spewing venom. There was no place of individual opinion or for that matter, an alternate point of view. Calling out actors on looks and degrading them. It was a free for all environment, one which festered so much negativity.

And cut to our forum - I would specially like to contextualise the shaurya vs. Kanta debate. We have handled this so beautifully, each side listening to the other with patience and rationality, accepting views.. and respecting members with alternate views from oneselves..
While, we think this is common across all forums (atleast I believed so until last night), this is qite unusual - this level of camaraderie and the immediate connect we have with each other. We must be super proud of our little ZKM family here.. no two ways about it and celebrate ZKM for bringing like minded individuals together. 👏🤗

Second, revisiting part of my earlier point - members bashing each other and regressive thinking.
I was appalled to see someone comment on another member in another fourm - do you want to get raped or something like that??!! 😲
Again, in the light of the molestation incident of ZKM, and how we members felt that track deserved more sensitivity, here there were people making a joke of it, when the track was not even about rape (figured from what I was reading). Came across comments like gals should adjust.. whatever be it.. husband is god.. who is she to leave him even if he does that.. he is husband.. she is gal.. blah and blah and blah..

Toxic! pure toxic forums!!

Therefore, I would like to raise a Toast to all of us here and ZKM too - long live the camaraderie and love! Touchwood!😊

ZKM has its small heart in its right place coz as they say.. tedha hai par mera hai.. logic.. no logic.. we all still love it and watch it.. coz if nothing gained, we still have this little world of us here.. 😳

I don't know bout other forums but ZKM forum has awesome set of people who are immature yet very mature. New people are so wholeheartedly welcomed and loved. The POVs are respected. The things out here is more than just the show. People love each other even more than the show. It's really a beautiful family. You'll be understood here. I love ZKM family very much.

@Santi, I know which forum you are talking about. And I was appalled literally. I had mistakenly opened that page yesterday and I thank my fingers that I did.

I always have my own apprehensions regarding any new forum. I stalk it for almost a week to understand the mindset before joining. ZKM was no exception and I thank my good judgement, specifically after silently stalking a few forums; a couple by mistake and a couple to read some specific writers' take on the story & characters in order to understand my own perceptions and sometimes solely to get ideas to improve my writing skills. I have no qualms on declaring that as far as "open forum" concept is concerned ours is the best and I can unabashedly announce that on a mic.

Thank you Santi for this article. I was in two minds before I signed up for this forum, my first ever. I was not sure how a forum works, I had no idea about the formalities. But the girls who were already active and ardent fans of the show just like me, made it so easy for me to be an integral part of the form though i am not as active as others.

This forum has become as addictive as ZKM for me. I long for Sham's LUs and the hilarious at times critical comments of each and everyone. They really do come from the heart.

Cheers 😊

The forum is indeed a naughty bunch and at the same time mature and decent enough to respect the feelings and sayings of others without being melodramatic sarcastically and are never hurtful to others. Love the gang here and feel happy to spend time here. It's rather heartening to see the bonding between the forum wasis.

Hi santiago!
If you remember, this is what I was saying few days back, that, I really like that people in this forum doesn't take comments personally and don't start fighting over different opinions. They respect others views and this is the main reason that I joined this forum. From 3 years, I couldn't watch any new show other than Jodha akbar and didn't go to any forum, because I could never connect with members of those forum other than Jodha akbar.

But here, I came on holi episode and I was just surprised that how members have fun on illogical things too and the main thing is, no one comes to fight with them. This is what I loved the most about ZKM forum and what to say about posts.. We have a crazy bunch of people here and I just love to read and enjoy those hillarious comments on any topic, of these lovely members.
