What happened to this forum?

Maybe if we somehow discouraged the fluff?  Started killing/culling threads that are retreads or useless maybe?

Funny!  And when they start doing it, they should ban* the first person to cry "Freedom of Speach".


(Because, as we all know, this is technically private property and the owners of that property have the right to shut up anybody they want at anytime they want for any reason they want.  Your Freedom of Speach would not be infringed upon if you were banned in here for any reason.  You would still have the right to start your own message board and/or website and say any damn fool thing you want.)




*I don't really think somebody should be banned for doing that.

Everything ebbs and flows with the passage of time.  Much like this board. 

Sure, I have negative things to say about the way things are from time to time, but that passes, and well, you can spot the hacks a mile away and toy with them at your will.

The one advantage to this board over many, many others is that in general the hacks don't run the forum and certainly don't moderate the forum for the most part (as much as they want to).

Are you kidding? Trolls run the forum because no one stands up to them and they're allowed to bully people unchecked.

Or people turn them into 'mascots' and feed them by publishing polls about them all the time. That's the one thing on here that bugs me more than anything.

AYE!  The attention some of you people pay the well known trolls around here bugs the hell out of me.
