Oh no, I think it goes the other way. It's not that they're boring, it's that they go so far beyond odd that they have to tone it down to "oddities" to avoid scaring everyone away. Like, "It's okay, they're just 'oddities'."

What a marvelous site! I see these misused quotation marks everywhere, and I thought I was just being irrational or anal to care! Itr's nice to find "like-minded" people ... quotation marks intended.
I blogged about this site, and others, at Under The News.
