GB is much better now than it was in the past decade or so.

Thank you to the site admins & anyone else involved in separating the politics from the GB.

It's encouraged a few new ppl to post here, and cleaned up topics considerably. It's also displaced a lot of trolls.

The GB circa 2003-2008 was still my favorite, but still, good call!

Really? I think it's as dull as fuck lately. And by lately I mean the past couple of years or so. I might retire my Lit subscription at 4K.

I'm getting new & quality PM messages from n00bs. That's my measure for GB improvement (it's not everyone's).

I hear ya, though. I'm going to retire mine at 50k. The forum got split - yay! - plus it's clear I'll have the Forum's racist oldbies rocking gently on the floor, whispering my name, for the rest of their lives. My work here is basically done.

It really isn't. I'd say it's the worst it's ever been. It started going downhill years before the politics or lounge boards came up.

100%

A lot of posters are either stoned or hungover and it doesn't make fun reading.

And there certainly isn't any sexy

I preferred when the politics were a part of the GB. Fuck knows which is worse - the trolling or Harry's chunder inducing blurts.

Did the split have anything to do with you? I barely remember you being around at that time and most of the members who voted for a seperate board left not long after. They weren't really GB at all.

Yeah, I enjoyed it too - but politics in here did nothing for the "sexy".

There was a vote?

Yeah you've turned quite a lot of women into lesbians on here. Even Chunks.

idle threat, anyone who buys any of kates stuff wouldnt burn it.

there are others means though, consider a garden shredder, or simply sandpaper the silver layer away.

since the purge the GB has gone downhill. it is now boring as fuck. The ones who wanted it that way are now denying any involvement.
At least the Nuremburg nazis claimed to be only obeying orders they didnt actually say it wasnt them. (cue holocuast denier shouts)

well, i really didn't want to say anything but................it's because i arrived!!!!

Oh, I don't know about that. Not everyone involved in political discussions back then were trolls. I found one or two to be very appealing when they got going. And the humour was there.

Yes, there was. With a poll.

You're mistaking my boobs with your saggy balls

 

[rae121452]

i always have to chortle when i read a thread like this. invariably, some mossy old slag will jump in with, "i know, this place was so much better when i first joined! then all of the cool people left and it's been downhill ever since!"

i always want to tap them on the shoulder and say, "and you're still here. do you think the cool people might have left to get away from someone? did they mention where they were going to you?"

I’ll need pics to make a proper judgement here.

Um, people(lazy cunts) do realize that the politics board is just over there >, and there are lively discussions, humor, and yes, even ignorable trolls.

Several posters on the PB crack me up; some intentionally and others unintentionally.

The times we're in kinda dictate a certain tone to the discourse, but when has t that been the case???

Bouncing between the two boards hasn't hampered my enjoyment of the site one bit. I would say it has actually enhanced it.

Sifting through the old GB's spam threads almost made me quit the site.

Opinions vary I guess.

 

[PaxNurgle]

I like the GB the way it is because it's now possible to have INTELLIGENT and witty discourse (or a mixture of both) without all the white-nationalist Busybody/Botany type trolls ruining it with their inflammatory trolling idiocy.
