How do you feel about the forums lately?

I blame the jews, blacks and queers

 

i haven't really seen that...

we had two mods, one generally ignored the drama and the other was rarely around. now we have one mod who is rarely around. he may be a tad stricter now than before when he comes around, but the funny threads can also be up for a day or more before any moderation even notices now.

 

bsr, hotwater, and glenglen? those jerks.

 

pfft, we all support you, I think..... it just doesn't matter.

and as to the whole drama\creating threads thing.

Well, I create threads when I feel the need to create threads. I was planning on creating one earlier today about psychiatry and how some of the attacks on it are not well thought out, and the general degredation of structure of arguments, but, honestly, I didn't think it would have gone over well. and it was not worth the effort to defend my point of view.

the problem is, that strong, valid points of view are getting attacked in truly absurd ways. because this has become a teddy bear place to be. there is no expectation of intellectual rigor.

and it is all of our fault.

 

Ah well I've only been on more often recently and I tend to get to read the threads but they are deleted right after. I can't make myself spend more time on here though. I really only get on because I miss a few people.

 

lame.
but the sex forums is getting lots of stuff it seems. too bad im not interested lol

 

i must just miss those threads entirely. i haven't seen one be immediately deleted in a few months.

 

lmfao, I wouldn't know about the middle one

 

See, lazy indifference..... "It's not worth the effort to defend my point of view"

We are all at fault though. That I can agree on 100%.....

FTW, I'm done here for now..... I'm gonna go back to video games I think.

See you guys another time with another name......

 

I had three happen to me today.

it must be the times you browse.

Cheers Glen.

 

it's not worth the point of view, because all of you are just going to make shit arguments because you just don't give a shit, and the people who haven't been winnowed or taught how to argue properly are just going to offer up shit arguments that they haven't put any scrutiny into


it's not worth it to think about my arguments if none of you are going to think about yours.

 

so what kind of shit gets deleted? Because I've read some pretty...questionable shit on here

 

The slow down did sort of start with the Skip Sirocco that blew through...

i know that i was banned for no good reason, even though i'm a forum supporter, and that i still haven't received any sort of apology over that, so i'm still sort of walking on eggs, and watching where i post, as well as what i say.

The whole Conspiracy Conniption Fit, where i felt like the conspiracy forum was the only place i could post ~ well, other than my personal forum, but it was something i posted there that got me banned, i think. (Nope ~ still not sure exactly what post it was, nor what it was i said that was considered such an offense that i needed to be banned. )

Because i did pay, i'm going to stick around until my membership is over, but i've already spent half of what a lifetime membership here would cost, on a 2 year membership to another forum site.

i still feel like the Free Speech advertising promises were broken, here,

and have a real hard time with sort of Free Speech Forums, since imho,

they are either Free, and anything can be said,

or they are Censored, and you'd better watch your words.

If threads, posts and members are still disappearing, these forums are being censored. Simple as that.

 

ok, one of the threads in my rep list just disappeared at some point tonight. for no reason whatsoever at that.

one other one on there did disappear a couple days ago, but that one was justified.

 

I hate people that change font size so their posts stand out.

Almost as much as those that put a pic of themselves in their sig

 

I do wish there were less aliases as that is really annoying.
Can't function under one name? fuck off (basically).
I'm also not keen on the one trick ponies around here or the people that post similar things all the time...that gets dull...it also makes any sort of "community" vanish...because they are really just posting for their vanity and to fill in time...rather than giving a shit about anything.
Those fuckers can fuck off too.

But:
I kinda like the forums still.

 

I was on here a lot.. Then I got my award. Now I don't want my award (never did) so I've dropped back a little but apparently the things broken or something.

I guess I've realized it doesn't really change. I used to want to come here in case I missed something.. But there's really nothing to miss.

I've got a lot of laughs over the 4 or 5 months I've been "active".. I dunno. Maybe "real life" just holds more appeal now.

Plus I want to do well in school.

PLUS I'm tired of walking around like a zombie.

 

Real life is better, it's just harder to fit into bit sized portions.

and MUCH harder to make it work on your schedule.
