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 · 17-12-2014 04:35AM

the closed accounts Joe, tis terrible

RedemptionZ · 17-12-2014 04:41AM

Mainly due the quality of the OPs these days.

Princess Consuela Bananahammock · 17-12-2014 04:44AM

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 · 17-12-2014 04:44AM

Murders. Lots of them.

Littlekittylou · 17-12-2014 04:52AM

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

ardle1 · 17-12-2014 04:52AM

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

SeantheMan · 17-12-2014 05:02AM

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 · 17-12-2014 05:12AM

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.

17-12-2014 05:28AM

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?

Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate.
All those…
moments…

The only ****e thing about boards is the every time this subject comes up,
is someone quotes bladerunner!!!
Seems to be the norm over the last week or two!

FF sake think outside of the bs box!
Plenty of b movies everyone can quote, besides it.!
Escape from new York, for one.
Time to move on and use
Some brain power. It's getting old now. Ffs

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.

snollup · 17-12-2014 09:31AM

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.

Why is Boards gone sh1t lately?
