This has changed; I have left the ZBB (my account there is still valid,
but I won't use it any more, and I have deleted the bookmark). There
is way too much bullshit going on there. Sure, there are a few people
over there who are both likeable and excellent conlangers and conworlders
(such as Mark Rosenfelder, Geoff Eddy and Carsten Becker), but they are
a tiny minority. Most ZBB members have nothing to contribute but hate,
bad jokes and the occasional "conlang" that makes Christopher Paolini
look like J. R. R. Tolkien. I hoped it would change to the better
after the banning of some of the worst offenders, but that did not happen.
Instead, it turned out that not only did the recent banning add more heat
to the hate-laden atmosphere, but that _denying the Holocaust_ is considered
an acceptable behaviour over there. I don't need that.
