What the forget happened to this forum?

[Tofu Plx (Rine)]

Seriously, I sort of idle off of the forums for a month or two, since BL isn't interesting me right now (going through an FPS phase), I return to 'check up' (if that's what you want to call it), and everything's gone tits up, every single forum is filled with two line topics comprising of "wats ur fav *" or "wuts betar, x or y", that contain not a single instance of puntuation, or even near correct spelling. I found this slightly amusing at first, but I've grown tired of it now and it's really just clogging up and already clogged forum.

I mean no disrespect to anyone when I say this, but I honestly preferred this community back when it was in the golden days of BLM1.6a, when box models were acceptable and it wasn't all about "ogm flat shadad plox", and people actually grew into decent modders, because they released their first (Releasable) mod, and people gave decent feedback, they didn't loving bite their head off like they do now.

I'm going to be a bit of an arse and blame 4chan, facepunch, and so on, or the general "fail" eculture itself, it's having an extremely negative influence on the members of this forum and it just makes it a generally un-nice place, that I'm really contemplating not returning to (not that any of you will care, but fat ah) seeing as how a) everyone's either become a jerk or b) the people who aren't jerks, are general 'noobs' who can't do stuff for stuff.

Call me a hypocrite on that last statement, but it's the truth, they're not just new, they're full blown, full grown noobs, the kind that don't change their ways regardless of what you do/say to them.

Whatever. /rant

OH AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW YET, I'M NIGE111.

Update:

This is exactly the kind of crap I'm talking about:



You're all loving sheep, all of you.

Update 2:

It's nice to see the old jerks still being jerks, yes, that means you Ephi. <3

Update 3:

Why is everyone so obsessed with that "Someone has posted in this topic since you last viewed it, you may wish to review your post" (or whatever the crap it says) anyways? It's not like it's some great (dis)honor to be top-posted, now the forum is becoming more active, it can only be expected, it's nothing big, it's not new, and it's not cared about.

Update 4:

People are still treating cookies (or the forum 'smileys' in general as their god. Why?

[Tofu Plx (Rine)]

oh

Point proven.

[Phone]

Not really.

[Tofu Plx (Rine)]

Yes really, if you don't have anything useful to contribute, don't post, simple as that.

[Phone]

Its gone to stuff, yes, but I don't blame anyone but Badspot.

[Tofu Plx (Rine)]

I'm pretty sure he's busy being a gamedev, and doesn't have time to change the forum's daiper every 2 minutes.

Still, I suppose it IS partly still his fault for not appointing more board mods/admins.

[Phone]

He needs some kind of a stupid filter like on Facepunch, more mods/admins, and less advertising. Also needs to be MUCH more strict, even though this would include people like myself being banned. Its his base fault; because he neglected to do a couple of things, literally thousands of handicaps are now playing the game and on the forum, taking a dump wherever they please.

[Tofu Plx (Rine)]

I'm an 05er on facepunch, and I've managed to survive only being banned... I think 4 times on there, with the over the top brown town admins (also mikfoz), and the general stufftiness of the forum itself, again, all stems from '4chan issue' in one way or another.

[Phone]

I generally like facepunch because of the content there. I find new games, mods (for games other than gmod), and new sites and whatnot, I don't really care much for the community. I've never been banned, but I hardly post anyway. Its opposite on this site.

[Tofu Plx (Rine)]

Oh yeah, I totally agree, Facepunch is absoloutely great as 2 things: A place to find new games, maps, models, etc, and a STALKER hangout (considering STALKER is one of my most favoured things in the history of ever).

The video games forum is generally filled with great threads, with the odd one or two "how do I" or 'megathreads that are far from it' slightly displacing the balance. Still it does have one of the biggest STALKER communities on the internet (aside from the official forum, the only other ones I could think of are the one on the filefront forums, and the one on FPSBanana), which just makes it bearable for me.

Anyway, enough ranting for now, I must get a shower, then I shal return.

I agree. A lot of idiots have joined recently.

I can't comment on the BLM days (as I wasn't around) but yeah, we tend to attack people pretty quickly. My question is, what SHOULD we do to the people that post "two line topics comprising of "wats ur fav *" or "wuts betar, x or y"?
