As a place, I wouldn't join it now, obviously. It's very childish, silly, captive marketing, etc.

As a kid, I really did like it, though. It was a board for a product I liked, with people I liked and admired, at a time when I was more lonely, just as you said.

I don't like the MBs, but I don't regret my time there either.
