Since the Ail era, I haven't ever seen as much discussion about PotDers and how PotD should be/is than in the past few months. Ever time I go, there is some huge topic where users are arguing about how other users act on PotD and how they argue with other users. It's maddening. And before you point out that I am being hypocritical, I know, I know.

I highly prefer CE. I wouldn't call it all-out boring.

I prefer Paradiso.

Because it's not just random garble like everything else (all GameFAQs boards). You don't see unfunny topics where emoticons rule your eyesight at every corner. They're intelligent, and they don't rely on anonymity and "^_^" like every other PotD off shoot. They're actual people, not just internet people.

People rely on anonymity and ^_^ here? Since when?
And the last time I was at Paradiso it was exactly what you are saying it's not <_<

I guessed it changed over the years.

Paradiso has too many inside jokes for me to catch up on.
And a general dislike towards me...

Oh well I don't have the time to lurk there anyway.

(And everybody seems to know eachother, leaving me unable to say something off-topic...)

I guessed it changed over the years.

I guess it's not easy to explain, but in a sense, yes this place (amidst other boards) rely a hefty amount on just what I like to call "internet happiness". It's random, it's somewhat useless, doesn't generally reflect the user at all (from their normal offline self), and spreads like a disease. PotD is filled with it, because PotD is so random. But then again PotD will never be able to be what these off shoots are.

PotD is regularly called "shit" nowadays because back in the day it used to be almost like an actual off shoot with in itself. What PotD's "glory days" would be known as is what Paradiso has stripped from Board 3 and taken for themself, because the users at Paradiso used to be the "good ole days" that a vast majority of PotD wants. And don't think that PotD members don't want it- it's been bitched upon for almost a year now, ever since Paradiso became more popular.

Wise, I've never even noticed you stay on Paradiso at all. I've never seen you post, not even once, so although it's easy to judge a board, I'd make sure your critique is more accurate. Every single person I've ever talked to whom rags on Paradiso has no more than a few posts, if that, and is just like any other noob whom Paradiso weeds out from the rest.

And yes, Paradiso has changed a lot over the years, but that's something nobody here would know about. And it doesn't really matter either way.

Now, I'm not saying I dislike this place at all. I wouldn't be here if I didn't like you guys, so don't get me wrong when I say I like "X" for "Y" reasons, or why I think what I think. I've been going to almost every single PotD off shoot since they were created. I like to think my guff is backed up well enough to say it aloud.

Naomi, the only reason that group values their "glory days" so highly was because of the people, calling PotD shit now is completely ridiculous, and borderline ignorant. PotD changes depending on the users, if a group of people offshoot, they will cite any change as bad.

Edit: Though I also do not like PotD nearly as much as I used to, but I realize it's just the people. I even used to like ProM more, though the PotD universe has never been my most attended boards.

Naomi is partially right.

Back in the Ail days, yeah, there were a lot of people who were bitching about the good old days. Looking back on it, they all were people who had been on PotD for a few years (much like the people on this board now), and were either members of Paradiso then, or are definitly members now. Or are like Majin, and just show up once in a blue moon. Thats why Paradiso is a lot like the "good olde days", because it is primarily the same users that were around for those days.

Now adays, you are getting the people that have been around since Ail's end or shortly there after who are not liking the current PotD, just like the "oldies" during the Ail period. Different people, same idea. Like Paradiso, a lot of them moved to offshoot boards, like ProM or AMWs. Or sit on PotD and bitch about it. And, two years into the future, it will probably happen again. There are many reasons why it happens this way, but, in the end, you just need to understand that it will happen. Naomi has been around for a while, so she knows the people on Paradiso back when they were on GFs a lot, and thats why she perfers it more. I started at PotD roughly the same time as LoR, Choco, Donnie, Phant, DW, GXion, and Korr, so thats why I am drawn to ProM. And why I have spent less time on PotD, to the point that I am no where near as known as I was a year ago.

Personally, I don't mind PotD, as long as I ignore the stupid fads or dumbass girl topics from morons like Magus. Unfortunatly that means that sometimes there are no topics that interest me (normally in the evenings, when all the high schoolers are getting home from school). But I also view these new users like I do for users on the gaming boards: I read their posts, but normally never remember anything about them.

<_<

In before Wise makes fun of my wall of text.

In regards to the "Good ol' days," the same thing I said to Naomi applies.

What I find amusing though, are people like Zess, who have been here for what, a few months? And complain that PotD has gone downhill. He is even on ProM right? I forget sometimes.

I'm not sure about Paradiso, but ProM sure gets a steady flow of newbs from PotD.

I think I like the people on ProM the most, alot of people on Paradiso, and the smattering of posters on PotD, though I'm not very fond of the new regs.
