Ig Them All, Let Rory Sort Them Out

Alien invasion. Body snatchers. This place could use more posters with the optimism shown, but I really don't believe it will last. Eight years, and this is pretty bad. So many people have left. The old regulars have found new niches, and while a few new interesting people come in, we've had nothing more than vitriol in the rest. When new posters, truly NEW posters, come by, they're run off or find themselves inundated by this strange hierarchy of creepy old men telling them to show their tits. Sure, it's a porn site and they have every right to say no, but damn it's creepy. It's become a predator's paradise.

Hey, I object to the word "creepy."

I do think you're onto something in one respect: I think the hazing of newcomers has crossed over from reasonably good-natured teasing and has gotten too hostile. If someone comes on here and they're not using chatspeak or talking about how they're here because they're soooooo horny, I think they deserve the benefit of the doubt. Everyone was reasonably nice to me, after all.

It's not about that. It's about the two or three "dooo something, Laurel!" PMs I get lately. I saw this thread, had a spare minute, and made a post. The fact is that people who post on the GB are the only people who can change what it is or isn't. If you choose to make it what it is, then that's what it will become.

I have an attachment to the GB because I've had fun times here in the past, but to be honest - it's an itty bitty teenie section of the forum, which is a teeny part of the site. I don't stress on the GB.

That's what I've been saying since this current situation gained steam. The other forums here aren't suffering at all. There are some ex-GBers who realized they wanted 1) a moderated board that wasn't the Playground and/or 2) to be big fish in a smaller pond. And that's all that's happened.
 
My thread got a Laurel post!

Kudos, Mr. Best Poster of 2008 (I'd penciled you in in some RoryN awards thingy).

I'm so glad that I'd switched from Angus Young into this avatar last night to be suitably dressed for such an auspicious surprise visit by the one and only Mama Kitty. Great posts from her, but of course.

Until DCL shows one iota of concern about the state of the GB, it's cruise control from here on out. Hella Bella, it's been that way for me since March 03.

Wahhh at all those PMing Laurel to "doooo something" - you fuckers, do it yourself.
 
Lit, like life, is dynamic. You get what you put in. It's still my favorite board, mostly because of the people like you.
I always put in the same amount. Lit has ebbs and flows. Sometimes things change when I change my login times, but I've been a night guy for a long time and the last year or so has been particularly shitty.

However, I suddenly realized the problem: I think the political threads drove off everyone. The threads were keeping me going and now they're gone. And Lit must be having a slow post-election bounce.

Still, I haven't seen this many trolls since Brinnie and skiddles. The threads aren't interesting. Meh.

As no one once said, but should have: all politics is loco.

Politics make sense when you understand that all the interesting stuff is highly emotional. All the rest of it is boring, like the availability of tax forms in Cantonese.

Sometimes politics gives me a thick, raging hard-on.

That reminds me: look here.

Politics and sex don't mix.

Because when you talk about sex in politics, it's always about sex and not politics.

This has been the natural rule since time immemorial. I don't know why there isn't a separate section for politics. I bet it's because it'd be a ghetto for only a few posters who NEED to be seen to have any joy in coming here. Ergo, throw all the shit in the GB and let people sort it out mentally, but the damage of having seen the thread has already been done.
 
Hmmm.

Laurel posted not one but two posts in this thread and it died on page 5?

Was it Rory's name in the thread title or a note not passed around in the hallways?
 
Laurel resurfaces and owns the Great Tool Rory.

So true what she said but this place has gotten worse and a lot of people have left because of tools like Sean and Rory.

Right on!
I know several that left because of their trolling and other bullshit.
 
That is beyond awesome.


Obviously, you haven't read I Fucked Ann Coulter in the Ass, Hard.

If you really did fuck Ann Coulter in the ass hard you would have broken her and probably broken your dick on that bony ass.

Unless of course she really is demon spawn then you got her pregnant and she will have human/demon hybrid babies.

In other words...you are saying RoryN was a stupid ignorant dickweed for sending you PM after PM begging for help. I can also feel your response to him was for him to get lost and get a life and stop responding to troll threads just so he can get attention! ;)

Great work Laurel! :)

He might have gotten in trouble with all of his racist alts. Those haven't been around since.

I vote for the human/demon hybrid spawn.

the hostility is better than the "show us your tits" crap. hazing is natural. harassing strangers for nude pics is just wrong. also, it really is creepy. besides, some people really need to keep their fucking clothes on. sadly, those people seem to make up the vast majority of "noobs." the rest just post pics of someone else.

also, this is the internet. don't you bastards realize you can get actual porn on the internet with having to talk to some overweight housewife with bad self esteem and a cabinet full of happy pills?

Hey!

I resemble that comment!

Not all of us are housewives.
