@bookgirlsmiles I'm rarely on the forums, but when I do go on there, it's mostly for writer advice. It seems that it's mostly writers (not people who only read) that hang out in the forums. We writers use them to get advice, find beta readers, ask for editing help, and share our (often creepy, definitely NOT related to actual murder) research. Though there are topics like the café where people just go to hang out & not talk about books for once in their lives. So yeah, you can make friends or use it to get help, but it seems to be mostly writers that use it (not that readers aren't welcome).
