i remember when RS first started, when the discussions were smarter, the posts were wittier, and the members were... eh, better than now.
i've been a member of this board since someone close to me forced me to join it, making me the eighth or so member (something i suppose i should be ashamed of ;) ). i've seen members come and go as i lurked on here and didn't post much, although every now and then someone would piss me off so much that i'd really want to say something.
but now, as i have hit my upteenth post, i see a new trend of members. stupid, ignorant, mindless idiots who do nothing on RS but annoy everyone else. they are hard to break when arguing with their stupidity but are easily threatened when confronted with intellect. they pick fights, they start shit, they attempt to offend other members. they treat the internet as their life and all that is said to them are personal attacks; they are the lost souls which cannot be saved.
i'll admit -- some people (including myself) can be mean and stubborn when it comes to discussions on this board. but i'll take strong convictions over painful ignorance any day.
RS has gone downhill because of these members. i guess there's nothing to do but just bitch and moan about it. which is precisely the purpose of this thread.

AMEN TO THIS!
i may not have been here since the very beginning, and i know i've been whoring on my own thread, but at least i keep it LIMITED TO MY OWN THREAD...
AND i got gman to stop the "last post"ing..hehehehhe
...so now i come to think, maybe i would rather see "last post"s rather than the ish i see now. this forum isnt' supposed to be all about wrecking/bashing other people and their characters and their opinions. we aren't asked to agree with everyone/conform to everyone's decisions and thoughts etc. it's about respecting each other and having fun! ...at least that's how it was when *i* joined RS...that's why i *wanted* to join RS...
no one's asking us to make it serious, just not total perverse crap. and...can't we all just get along?
back when i first started, the worst attitude we ever got was from silver surfer...now he's like, the slowly maturing adult! hahahahaha (gman says *he's only a semi-asshole* :D ) |
