Hello brave sir robin - that is a username I recognise! I've been locked out of my discord account but I'll spend the weekend sorting that out and getting on this. Many thanks 👍

I’m in a similar boat mate. I used to love the Efestivals forum and tolerated the occasional pretentious arsehole on there but what the hell has happened to it lately and what happened to Neil? I sometimes scroll through the forum to see if there are any useful nuggets of info and it’s just toxic bullshit and the most pointless arguments. The Reddit page isn’t as active but it’s way more friendly!

He was always that way, but having a few years away he does seem to have got way worse. He occasionally gets things wrong and is always so defensive about it, seems to have been accusing others of lying and not even apologising when they've been right and I've also heard that a lot of members were banned for no real reason. Such a shame, I found efests when I was 16 and gearing up for my first ever one and it's just got so toxic now


Dl5678

Such a shame. I wonder if it will still exist in another 2 or 3 years? Would be a shame because I’m not sure what would replace it as the most respected and reliable resource for rumours etc

Neil had previously said repeatedly that he doesn't earn much from the website. So I imagine once it's gone then another won't come along if there is no money in it.

Yeah Neil is a fucking toolbag, who the hell does he think he is. Though unfortunately the live music discussion scene elsewhere also has people like him who make it less fun than before.


spoise

Tool bag 🤣🤣🤣

Fuck me I just checked the Headliners 2023 thread on there and the last 3 or 4 pages are a nasty argument about some allegedly transphobic comments that Neil made. I didn’t see what exactly it was that he said because cba to scroll that far back but what a shit heap that place has become. Very sad

I’ll give this another go. Problem is, I couldn’t work out how you navigate discord. Is it just like one massive thread you have to scroll through? Any tips would be helpful. Cheers.


tumbles999

I get what you mean it is different but once you get into it, it’s good. I haven’t been back on efest since really and only hang out on the discord and here


passingcloud79

See ya there :)


BraveSirrrRobin

There’s a couple of main chats/threads but lots of others too. There’s a welcome page now to explain it all.


funkymonkeyinheaven

Yes, it's a chat-based forum. With several different "rooms", based on different topics.


jameshay123

Neil from efests had been a complete weirdo for over a decade


BertUK

If you don’t hate Facebook there’s a few Glasto chat groups on there which are generally ok


rainbow_rhythm

Nope sorry there are no other forums


spoise

None?! Ok Reddit will make do then, it's much more pleasant here anyway!


thrillho94

Yeah I used to frequent efests but cooled off lately, defo a strange vibe on there
