I occasionally use /b/ stuff if it's new or amusing (I'm pretty sure WHY SLUG MORE is a /b/ thing) but in other cases avoid it like the plague. BARREL ROLL MUDKIP OVER 9000 shits just irritates me. And I don't /b/ for the record but it's pretty easy to catch onto whatever the meme of the week is. |

I have nothing against /b/, other than stupidity. Granted, that's what I have against most things I dislike on the internet... |

Yup. Same topics, same feuds, just different face. And a distinct lack of quality drama. But the existence of spin-offs is partly to blame for that.
To be honest, I quite like SBAllen. He's done more things for the site than CJay ever did (addition-wise, that is), and most certainly is more talkative and open to responses from the community. |

He may be more talkative, but that doesn't change the fact that the moderations that float under his nose are still ridiculous. I have a serious dislike of him and the regime he's given the mods over there. That, and the amount of cool posters/lack of stupid posters, was why I came to spinoffs. |

The moderations never change, bro. Just your perceived fairness of it, or whatnot. If I based it on the number of moderations I've received, then it's gone down. Which only shows my situation. That said, on the topic of dumb people on PotD, somebody just tried to tell me you can get viruses if you don't use the Internet at all. Derp. |

But that's not what he's talking about. He speaks as if they congeal from nowhere. Also, now people are talking about taking a fish to a vet. Derp derp. |

Most don't, anymore. Like finding a stereo system that supports cassettes. You just don't find 'em. |

LPs are a different beast entirely. I noticed about a year ago that my local "CD Tradepost" now is starting to sell LPs and old video games. |

Now now, I realize the statement is a bit elitist, but a lot of us came from a certain generation before this board was formed. When you had awesome people around, it sucked less. It really was better before the whole Cnet merge thing but I can see how one might think we all love nostalgia for breakfast |

i think part of it comes from how wide the signal-to-noise ratio is over there now. in spinoff land, we all know each other's limits, which buttons to press. we all have a history among us as a tribe so to speak. for example, i can call Alch a flaming furfaggot without 100 emo hipster bitches jumping all over me for not being Politically Correct, and then having me modraped. you all know i'm just busting balls, not actually trying to get Alch :lonestar:'d. you all know Alch is going to fire back in kind, we're all just having a little fun for the amusement of all involved. i don't have to justify being the Dick i am to anyone. we all get it. even the young'uns that have entered the spinoff zone in the past year or so get it. let the bitches stay safe on PotD where no one can offend their delicate sensibilities... |

lol Cnet merge. That explains where my paul2kand4 account came from, it was my TV.com main. They obviously did link up GameFAQs to that clusterfuck some time ago. May god have mercy on your souls if the inane fucks from TV.com came over there. Though in some ways that's much worse. They have BLOGS and shit over there and update people on whatever they had for breakfast waiting for all of their good friends to rush in and post some inane comment back. Also I much prefer small independent forums to places like that for basically the reasons MWD just posted. It's easy to keep track of who is who. A new face is immediately evident and it's easy to get to know what the regulars are like and what you can get away with. And also easier to scare away any new blood who don't get it at all. Whereas places like that they just sort of MULTIPLY. |

Gamefaqs under CJus was worse than what we have with Sailor B today. But as for the message boards they always have been shit. Edited by Korru, Saturday 1-05-2010, 18:39.
