BBS, Hath thou forsaken I?

Well BBS, I'm afraid you're much more boring now.

You have none of the jolly good fun you used to offer; even if I signed up in 07 I know that you're declining in entertainment value. When I was a noob who didn't know how to type properly or anything; I had the best fun I had on the internet in forever. The thrill of the influx of interesting topics and people never ceased to amaze me; it's dwindling now due to the fact that the people I've grown to enjoy their presence on the BBS are leaving. Not all of them; but some are, and it's increasing. I mean there's Willi and Mendou; two of the most fascinating people I've met, and both of them have just packed their bags and left the BBS. I can see why; the BBS is getting shittier. The people that are rising up to be the prominent members of the upper crest that everyone notices are complete douches, trolls, try hard bad-asses and people who are so fake it's disgusting.

There's also the kiss-up thrown in, and the innocent little newbie who everyone likes to push around ( I included, sadly. ) These stereotypes that lack any niche in the world other than look bad-ass on the internet are what's driving the BBS down, not for me, but for everyone else as well. I mean come on, how many times has someone told you to kill yourself because you said something stupid? A lot. And who says that? Internet hardasses who enjoy seeing people get hurt over the internet; or enjoy tormenting people. Sick people these are; they're like into S&M or something.

Another thing about the BBS is that there is never anything interesting ever going on any more. Everything is just too forced, all humor is artificial and is never pure coincidence or sheer talent in telling jokes. Remember dickneck? That's people making fun of a guy with a long neck for 21 pages, photoshopping the poor man to oblivion. Remember 2hot2rock? That was a misguided teen, sure we all hate him but if you find him existing such a humorous matter just go to your school and then make fun of a little kid's haircut. What else has happened? Sirtom? Eh? Eh?

Seriously guys, every single figment of humor you have is always taking the piss out of someone. That's terrible. Even /b/ is better than that; since it manages to both make humor that is raw humor and humor that takes people to a whole new low. But you, BBS you're a big cyber bully, and I'm glad to have realized that now.

Also I have little complaints about how the mods maltreat me; since that's a lie but the way they lock and ban threads that are worthwhile and entertaining; yet they deem spam irritate me in a way.

Well, I'm getting tired of seeing all these fake, no good people crush decent, real people because of an opinion or a stupid statement.

And I'm tired of the constant search of new and entertaining people to keep in touch with; so here's my MSN: exjay126@live.com mmhmm kthx

My leave may or may not be imminent, it was good though.

I'd wish the good times will still exist and live on; but that's something that only I can decide, so yeah.

Next time you see me on the BBS, that's just me in an endless routine I can't get out of; basically I'm leaving the BBS in spirit.

A salute to all things Newgrounds

Haha, this is bullshit I'm not leaving, but yeah BBS is boring etc. etc.

It's sad that things have ended up this way. You're one of the best I've seen from the generation of new users and it's a shame that the BBS can't be a more suitable environment for decent posting.

Sawdust 2009-05-31 10:32:39

Funny that you mention decent posting.

4dchan; /b/ specifically has the best environment I've seen for posting. Everyone's chill; there's some trash here and there but all the topics are interesting. There's no "SO I STOOD UP THEN I SAT DOWN, BUT I SAT ON A BANNANA LOL" or so.

Yeah, great you agree too.

You make this post even though you know that people have been making complaints since the beginning. 'Oh no, there are no interesting people to give me entertainment.' Jeez, every single one sounds exactly the same. Have you thought, that the petty topics you've complained about arn't actually problems, and they could be easly changed or ignored based on your own actions? The BBS hasn't changed, you have. And not in a maturing manner either. The BBS will always have times of low appeal to us, and what we should do is not place the ideotic blame on others or the system, but on OURSELVES for not being creative or interesting at the time. It's NOT up to everyone else to be great, but the opportunities to have fun are held within our own abilities, that we must develope. YOU are the one that's deteriorated enough to have a lack of contribution. It's you, not the BBS. You don't have the capacity to make an impact, or deal with change whatsoever.

And the irony is, that by leaving, you've become one of those faces of past-tense genre of uselessness. You are now just one of those same type of people, no different from a steriotype you've listed above. And don't forget that this action does reflect what kind of person you are. This says that when things get tough, you don't care and you abandon when the resources dwindle in appeal. I don't like to believe this, but with posts like this, all I can imagine is that if I actually met this person, they'd be exactly the same, have exactly the same characteristics, the same personal attributes as all the people who bitched and complained about the BBS until they left. I don't like to think this, but I can't help but come to that theory.

I believe that the efforts of one person can make a difference, at least on themselves. People can work their way beyond stubborness and choose to make an improving impact. It could be hard for some, but isn't the work alone worth the unending effort? It was just by chance that I saw this post. If you are so narrow-minded and unable to look in the mirror at your own childishness about the BBS, then I'm sorry to say good riddance.

I'll admit, you probably won't take any heed of what I've typed here, but if you don't maybe someone else will. You have to make it enjoyable. There are smart people. There are interesting and good people, but to find them you're gonna have to become one yourself.

I'm not leaving I'm whining.

Plus like what you said, I try to make this fun for myself; but then all the "cool kids" are leaving, so what's the point? It's like staying at a party even if you don't know anyone there. I know how to look for people, I see them on here; but mainly I'm not talking about leaving; I'm talking about how NG fails to make real humor, not at the sake of other people.

And don't take my posts seriously; it's just to show people how stupid you look when you enjoy putting down others for self gain.

the BBS has gone to a shitstorm after all, in fact, I find the BBS dull now, I'm having more fun posting silly replies and jokes on stickam or 4chan, where I can at least post a joke without being banned.

Sawdust 2009-05-31 11:43:54

4chan is absolutely great for looking for laughsl the BBS is fun too but nothing ever gets done.

TheYoungblood 2009-06-02 09:07:47

LOL, I concur from the title up to the end. If you notice, I have a low post count right now. It was like I was posting 70 per day then suddenly it reduced to 69 now, so, I am posting 1 per day.

Sawdust 2009-06-02 09:07:47

Mmmhmm.
