Wasn't even a member of this community but this just pissed me off so much:

FF.net, where are my goddamn []'s in story titles? I tend to, you know, use those since you don't permit me the use of frigging logical parentheses! And I've gotten a little attached to my brackets, thank you, as they tend to look nicer and they help separate information such as the pairing or warnings from the rest of the summary so as not to confuse the majority of people suffering from mental retardation on the Pit!

You better bring those fucking brackets back or so help me, I will summon the troops and this palace will burn tonight/in the near future.

I'm still mad at them for not allowing hyphens in summary and titles. Especially when they're used all the time in French. I hate being forced to make grammatical mistakes. And now they went and banned the []s? I still wonder why I'm still using this site...

Simple, they are the biggest fanfic site; and thus, they grow bigger simply due to their size. You can't really find any somewhat/theoretically-easy-to-navigate sites out there with good content that is new.(Also, many that you do find are specialty sites since they're hosted by one dedicated fan's computer) All the new writers who get ideas from something go on the net, search for a big website with many stories with high traffic, and are immediately drawn to FF.net. They then either just do what they can there, become jaded and do it on a blog or lesser known site, or get frustrated and give up entirely.

It's an online monopoly.
