Sometimes, in the course of one’s life, it becomes necessary to reflect on on the quality and state of things you loved as a child. I got the club in 2015 and have talked on and off on there since 2016. At this point, I need to look back on what has happened in the Club forums and how they stand today.
Perhaps it is in part due to my maturing, but it seems like there was a time when you could have meaningful conversations on there, but now it seems to have devolved into a place where grammar dies and Odyssey fans facepalm.
First we’ll make a prototype of the average Club forum commenter:
- They are between 9-12 years old
- They could not spell to save their lives.
- They believe Jason and Jillian should be together
- They are mainly homeschooled, but there are some public and private Christian school kids there
- They overuse emojis and exclamation marks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One positive of visiting the Club pages, is the very original and creative new spellings of the word Odyssey. Here are some of the worst my favorite: odessa, odyssee, odessey, odissee, odisee, odeesee, odysee, odesius, odycee, odicee, oddyssey, and odissey. For the record, it is spelled O-D-Y-S-S-E-Y. Case in point:
In between the bad spelling and horrible character ships, we also get arguments about who owns a page and what it’s subject will be.
Arguably, the worst part about the forums now are the ads constantly spammed on every page. I’m curious how these children have time to copy and paste their ads on 89 Club episode pages and dozens and dozens of bonuses. So I’ll just end on this:
I’m sorry, I can’t hold my silence! A resounding and forever “NO” to Jillian and Jason!
In the end, get the Club, it’s worth it with Clubhouse Magazine and access to every Odyssey episode, but don’t expect too much from the forums.
