I miss The Thunderdome

It's a crying shame when you've had a beer after a hard days work and you cannot come on to boards with bile in your belly and abuse the schit out of another poster because he likes to sell 2nd hand leather trousers on adverts or put himself forward as an international cyber crime fighting hero.

No room for laughing rape jokes on this site anymore even amongst those who consent, ironically.

My name is Jim. My world is fire and blood. Once, I was a Boardsie. A post-warrior searching for a righteous cause. As the world fell, each of us in our own way was broken. It was hard to know who was more crazy... me... or everyone else.

The TD closure was ham fisted and overkill of the highest calibre by the powers that be.

Anyone that posted in it did so of their own accord, knew the rules of the game and accepted it.

Probably the worst decision I've ever seen on Boards.

That's a pale shadow of the genius that was the original Dome.

I always enjoyed the posts slagging off a big chinned idiot, posing like a retarded Joe Dolan lookalike in front of his turf shed in a cheap suit.

It doesn't miss you.

Eh

Lolocaust was better.

Haven't been there in a bit.Is it still the same three people giving their opinion on everything?

Come to think I remember why I left.

Yeah,

Pretty much boards but with swearing allowed.

The Thunderdome once was filled with posters who would be so quick witted that you would have belly ache from laughing. The insults were close to the bone but malice was never the intention. That was a long time ago.

It subsequently turned into a placed filled with neckbeards who couldn't come up with anything better than "that's what your ma said last night", and they became nasty in a poor attempt at humour.

Those neckbeards now have their own site. Full of idiots and cretinous fools who wouldn't know how to be funny if they spent three years in the front row of clown college. Creepy bastards who log on "anonymously" to <snip> but who unsurprisingly can't hide their own sh!tty grammar and spelling mistakes making it clear to anyone who has read their bullsh!t elsewhere that it's them.

The old Thunderdome is a long time gone and never to return.

Wasn't it just renamed 'Politics Cafe'?

'twas but another victim of the Grand Sterilisation as the "New Ethos" took hold across the site.

As I am sure you are all aware, the Internet is a non-trivial matter and should be treated with the utmost seriousness at all times.

I joined the thunderdome last year, only the admin and the mods there, ghost town stuff.

I think it was the perceived cliquey nature that led to its downfall. There was no malice, but that was only apparent to people that knew the place and posters that were active there.

Some people were wandering in without a clue of what it was all about, and they rarely left before giving themselves a chance to realise what it was.

Imo, the closing of the dome was one of the points in which boards started to fall apart.

At least when it was open, boards and posters had some sway.

Now, the people who have shit to say about others; go to the likes of <snip>, where the people talked about have no chance to respond, and have their personal details posted.

And Boards have no control over it. All they can do (and have done) is delete posts and ban people for mentioning the fact.

Where is this Thunderdome you speak of

That place is pitiful. I got banned because I used a different username there.
They're pitifully unfunny and unoriginal. It's cringeworthy tbh

A fair amount of spoofing going on alright.

I used to love reading it, but sadly never got involved in the fray. Some of the insults were amazing though!

Multiple accounts to reveal personal details about posters is not the same as getting banned for using a different name
