This is exactly what I was referring to Truncated... such feuds get tedious very quickly.

Also I agree about the banality of collective SY worship... as this induces further tedium... there should be more constructive debate.

i was under the impression that a good bit of the back and forth was being done in good fun and not to be taken seriously.

It would be nice to have more homosexuals on the board though.Something like 10% would be ok.

no homo.

yes homo.

How do you know there aren't?

The only thing I'm a bit bummed is the departure of many commonweal contributors, like sonicrussia, the houston posse, waxy, guppyfish and the others whom I can't remember. Even Kolera fucking bailed out!

And more ethnic minorities.And more older people.

Not enough camp posts.;)

And less twats generally.

shentov kind of dissapeared, and so did atsonicpark
which is a shame, they were two of my favourite witty posters

(Gruff voice): I'll have you know I'm a father of 2. Thanks for the wink though.

it becoming a clique.

problem i see with this place is too many people trying to be top dog of some kind of fictional heirachy. too much ass kissing and pretending to be some kind of hyper intelligent being. this place has become overun with sycophantic boredom. its so obvious and getting incresingly tedious.

this place is turning into a clique very rapidy and it sucks.

so what if someone posts in a way that you dont like or whatever, who really cares about grammar and spelling? its an internet forum. but it used to be fun here and it really isnt anymore.

there is a lot of annoyance here now and a lot of the old time board members dont post here as much which says a a lot i think.

cue someone to have a go at this post. eat a dick.

Are you saying the old board wasn't cliqued? Every board I've posted has had cliques, in my opinion it's inevitable.
The original hey//¨//*^/*^¨' -thread was a good example of this kind of thing.

i wish there were more ethnic minorities here, too. i get lonely sometimes.



still...no homo, though.

Are you saying the old board wasn't cliqued?

not saying that no. but i am saying is that its very fractured and not fun. yes these places do have ups and downs, but generally this board has been on a massive downward turn for some time.

In that case......no val-holla-ing types then.They should rot somewhere in space.

I've thought long and hard about this. My considered response runs thusly:




Meh.

Rejected responses include:

Bothered. Bothered loads.

Miunno.

Yeah, but watchagunnado?

I CAN SEE THE SKY MUMMY!!!! MUMMY, LOOK AT THE STARS!!!!!

I agree that this can be a pretty clique-y board sometimes, but I think it is actually far less so than the old one. I always felt like I was a bit-part player on the old board, even though I was on there for about three years before it closed down, and there was a definite feeling of there being an "old guard" who ruled the roost. I got flamed numerous times for stating an honest opinion, and in the end I hardly ever wanted to post. This new board is generally much more welcoming, I think.
