Granted, sometimes the creation of a sub forum for which there isn't interest creates a ghost town. But sometimes it allow people with interest in a topic to gather together and feed off of each other's enthusiasm. Can you do away with the Strike thread, and the Dog Like Sparky thing? It is sort of an annoying and useless forum/thread/public shaming punishment thing, whatever you want to call it. RockMyAmadeus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a definite shift after that point. 100% when we lost Nik this place changed like someone shut off a light switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utopia is fantasy; it does not exist in the real world, and trying to force it is what drives and has driven people away. Well, that's one view. Granted, sometimes the creation of a sub forum for which there isn't interest creates a ghost town. But sometimes it allow people with interest in a topic to gather together and feed off of each other's enthusiasm. Yup. It certainly is one view.

Do you know how many of the "old guard" paid for funerals, replaced burned down houses, helped members when they lost their homes, gave money to those who were in NEED, and NEVER asked for even a thank you! You want to talk about the character of those men and women like you are capable of telling your hole from the one in the ground? Are some of the guys a bit snarky, yes, do they like that the sense of community has lessened in time? Yes. But I am shocked that a guy who has been here for such a short time knows SOOO much about what made this place to begin with. Even I missed some of the best times on this board, and yes we are a little reserved in who we take in after countless scammers, frauds, and thieves have made their way in over the years? Damn, there are reasons for things and maybe if you listened more you would understand why people are the way they are. I wish the "old guard" would come back because alot of those people were good people and are missed, especially when they provided some awesome conversation. via Imgflip Meme Generator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
