Why is Boards gone sh1t lately?

Why is Boards gone sh1t lately? Where are all the regulars gone? The amount of closed accounts is very noticeable, but where have these people gone? Reddit? Twitter? WHERE?

Oh look, it's this thread again.

Im censoring your opinion since you posted and filing it under irrelevant.

At the end of the day the dark forces of the Illuminati have us all in the shade but some of us can see the light at the end of the tunnel and realise it's a case of the Emperor with no clothes wanting to have his cake and eat it.


Going forward.

I close accounts a lot to keep me off it's addicting. To re reg requires a new email etc. So it keeps me off for a while.

I am not missed too much usually to be honest anyway.

Cookie_Monster

the closed accounts Joe, tis terrible

RedemptionZ

Mainly due the quality of the OPs these days.

There comes a point when everything's been discussed and you reach the end of the internet. At that point, you have to close out and turn back.

Littlekittylou

Murders. Lots of them.

Littlekittylou

Yeah I've just started a dousey of a thread sorry.

What was it like before, I think it's grand?!

SeantheMan

boards has been the same for the past 10 years, or are you referring to thread on after hours...which often consists of many reposts ?

Antar Bolaeisk

They've blocked you, you can't see any of their new posts or threads and their accounts show as closed to you but really they're all still here and laughing at you.

Some of the stuff they're posting in here for instance is hilarious.

I have been a poster on Boards for quite a while and I closed my account a few years ago because I got bored. I then opened this account but don't post very often. The site has become a lot more heavily moderated in the last few years and seems to be less fun. I have become more into Reddit in the past few months, Reddit seems to be better.

I still like Boards dont get me wrong but it is just not as good as it was a few years ago. I wonder does it have anything to do with the new crowd buying it and becoming more commercialised?

It's the influx of opinionated assholes who wouldn't even know about the internet if it wasn't for Facebook

Many posters appear to be blaming 'feminists' in particular looking at the number of threads generated on this topic recently :rolleyes:

Women eh!

I was dreaming about boards last night. Specifically about a thread started by MadsL (who I have never met, spoken to, PMed etc) stating he was moving to Portugal with an ex girlfriend and was looking for boardsies to start up a five a side soccer team.

It's probably posts of the quality of this one that has this place going to the dogs.

I agree. Mods are just mental these days. You can't have a good ruck anymore.

I originally started posting in 1912, not many people knew about the internet back then. It's just so commercial now man...

As for Reddit, think it was about 1882 when I first posted there. God those were the days.

Bubbles. Amp Test. Gathering cards.

Etc.

Ok, relax. I'm back!

Yeah, Padraig Pearce posted a thread about having a blow out in the GPO in 1916 but he was site banned for shilling about Bolands Mills and the biccies they'd be taking with them....who knows what would have happened if the mods hadn't been so trigger happy!

It was just a Flash Mob that got a bit out of hand. All of them crammed into the GPO with their Kodak "Box Brownie" cameras taking self portraits and then the crush to get the film developed got a bit much, strong words were spoken, some pushing and shoving in the queue and the next thing you know, the army's been called out.

Anyone with more than 10000 posts should have their welfare stopped and made go back to work.

Saipanne

There should be a word limit on posts. Some people have way too much time on their hands, writing volumes in a post that no one will read.

We haven't had the great "Boxing Day v. St. Stephen's Day" thread yet. At least not this year's reincarnation. So you're definitely wrong there.

Well it's like the soaps, we're keeping all the big stuff for the Xmas season and padding it out til then.

I think its gone sh1t cos the moderators have gone sh1t.

They cant distinguish between having their own opinion and moderating threads objectively , without letting their opinions overrul balanced moderation.

Animal Farm anyone...

TheOtherBloke

Ah 'tis not all that bad.

TheBeardedLady

It's gotten **** since the banning of all the brilliant "your ma" and "blast them with piss" jokes. Comedy gold, they were.

There should be an induction course on how to use the search function for one...

One of the worst thing about Boards as well I find is it's hard sometimes to have decent conversation because there is so many people trying to be funny looking for their post to be thanked. (even though that problem is mostly confined to Afterhours).
