apparently this is why miga left. UPDATE

[duckman1229]

I can see why he left. No offense, but the forums are a lot different now. I'm not sure if this is nostalgia or not, but there's not much intelligent discussion anymore. Lots of it is forum games, megatopics about alcohol or special interestes or my little pony, or topics that don't really serve a purpose. (would you forget the above user's avatar, list random stuff that nobody will read)

Whenever we talk about anything remotely related to religion, abortion, or marijuana, the topic explodes and gains 30 pages, then fizzles out. Whenever we can sustain our cool is only when everyone's on the same side. People are too harsh to eachother, when they could be a lot nicer. I've been trying to act less hotheaded, thinking people's opinions through. The forums are still pretty cool though, it's a neat little thing that comes with a lot of drama.

I agree defiantly.

I've had Miga added on my deviantart watch list for years now.  Sadly, I don't check journals, so this is the first time I've seen it.  Kind of interesting, but he made a good choice.  This forum is a clusterforget and is addictive as all hell.  I stopped posting here for a very long time, and I felt a lot of edge relieved.  The fact that this forum and its people can cause edgyness at all is a bit pathetic on my end, but oh well.

Who the hell gets edgy? This is my escape from the stresses of day to day life

I'd say some people are too hesitant to argue against a drama thread because they think they will get banned for it.

The rule is about people making dismissive posts against drama threads, which is fair because there is no reason to post on a drama thread that does not matter. If you are arguing against the claims made in the drama thread, you aren't dismissing the thread.

Well I was kind of referencing the spam topics we get so often in Off-Topic, where really anyone doesn't care.

Regardless I know what you're talking about, and I understand this. I have made multiple posts before that many people could interpret as breaking the "Don't care; don't post" rule, but I am one of the few that have an understanding of it.

But seriously, everyone who has ever "left" has either come back as an alt or will.

the people who've left wouldn't have been able to say anything about leaving without getting banned, so there's probably a ton of people who've left but they weren't a super popular member and thus didn't get noticed

surprisingly, you might be right.

didn't he leave because of the bronies

yes

I dont like the part where he tries to encourage others to leave too.

[Wynd_Fox]

It's dumb that he says to find a better forum based on programming or art or something. We're here because we like Blockland. Well, most of us.
