Even though I don't read all that many topics anymore, I know precisely what Steve is talking about. The state of certain aspects of this message board are pretty miserable by comparison to how they were in the past—and I say this without thinking that "the grass is always greener on the other side." These forums were better in the past. That's a fact.
I'm not entirely sure what Chupperson will say to Deezer, but I have a few thoughts of my own that I've been wanting to discuss with him. Sometime soon, when both he and I aren't too busy, I'll attempt to nab him in a chat of some sort and talk to him for a little while. I don't have a lot of "swing" with Deezer, but I take him to be someone who listens to reason. And reason is what he will get from me.
Thank you for posting this topic, Steve. It was a good call.

I write to you from a distant karaoke bar. It is extrememly loud here, but as I read the grim portents of these posts, the music, bass pounding, and screaming fades away into contemplation.
The funny thing about all this is, even though I know what you guys are talking about, for the last couple weeks I have actually gotten better feelings from the board. What with the triumphant return of Watoad, the fourth iteration of Bored, and the revival of a few cool old threads, things were looking up.
sadib is sadib, folks. I don't see much difference between now and then. People just flame back more these days. The wankerless board is a legend. Just kind of ignore them.
Or maybe I'm too much of a crazy optimist?

Oooo, yay, thanx Watoad. I love Macs, but it seems everything nowadays is easier to access on Windows, because everyone makes things for Windows. Ah well...
I think you're not a newbie anymore when people stop considering you a newbie. There's no real measurable way to tell otherwise.

Each letter, a new thread. All in the past month, all on the sub-forum I moderate.
