So, is the GB still a thing?

[RoryN]

I see more porn threads. A little better than when I left.

Cautious or cockeyed optimism?

It's like the Rorschach test: one sees what one is looking for & what's on one's mind.
I don't see porn threads; I see debates and politics.

You see debates? That's an improvement, then.

Usually it's just the aging right fringe spouting political rhetoric, finding kinship in their hatred of women & minorities while they watch lesbian and Asian porn.

You nailed it - spot on! I've never understood the concept of political rants on a porn site!

Somewhat.

The usual impotent dried-prune schmucks are still doing their scheduled morning screech and early evening after-dinner yap, but with the one-two punch of the Politics Forum and the tail-tucked departure of star quarterback Vette (along with the satellite yappers he embiggened) there's been a palpable organic downturn of rabid blather.

Pressed bitches are still squawking, though. Little hit-and-run pips pop up and plop from time to time. That ain't ever gonna change.

This is spot on. Arguments here seem counter-intuitive; I keep finding them, though.

on a more serious note - I might be the exception to the rule, but for me Lit is a lot of fun.
A lot of humourous comments and out-of the box thinking, so much # from the more conservative/PC environments that some of us live in. Keeps you hooked

Drama is in much shorter supply these days, but it has its sweet moments still.

Why do you keep using the pound/modern hashtag symbol in the middle of your sentences? It's perplexing. It doesn't seem to stand for the same word or sentiment.

I do it all the time (use symbols or abbreviations), when I make quick notes etc.
I didn't think much, however, about the impression they might create on social media.
Thanks for pointing that out, I will try to change it

 

[parodyluvr75]

Still not enough cat pictures.

I'm not sure about the nags, I usually put the heavy haters on ignore. They're like broken records. Only time I see them is when posters I like, quote them.

Oh, okay. Only change it if you want to, but it is a bit unclear when reading your posts.

 

[Aglaopheme]

I've only seen a couple of good debates here. Neither involved any of the (prolly paid per post) trolls.

An older article, but a good one.

It's worlds improved over the old days. As Zumi points out the combination of a political board to keep the majority of the politics off the GB and Vette being banned for whatever reason really cleaned this up a lot. And despite everything that miles and others like him claimed this place didn't magically become the playground. I've been to the playground and it's filled with marshmellow morons who are literally just marking time until they have something remotely constructive to do with their time.

So you are seeing the truth.

Ah ha. So that's what happened.

Did someone out him for not really serving in the military? Did Mort's Chevy of San Diego repossess his car?

Vette didn't get banned per sé, he just voluntarily removed himself from the community during the heights of the ISIS Internets Scare® on former and current American military heads back in late January or early February. All of 'em just ghosted.

He was really the main engine for a lot of the yapping. And even though he bitched about the Politics Forum when it was being finalized, he pretty much set up shop in it and was happy as a junebug in a rug bleatin' his anti-liberal cares away all the live-long day in there until his "live-like-you-got-a-pair" card got pulled.

So when he left, everyone that partied with him and around every daily post he made sort of went dormant. They're still here, but not really. The life went out of 'em. Even Miles went to hibernate almost forever because of that and you only see him percolating now because AJ is piping back up...and he came back from his little sabbatical after Ish made an Atlas Shrugged thread Bat-Signal for him to rejuvenate his yap chops. It's been steady chugging along ever since. All those dudes need each other to power the other and that became clearly evident when their main electric grid that was Vette went down for good.

Funny shit, good times.

It's a bit boring bc it's missing your brand of humor now. There are still a few but nothing like before.

 

[Recidiva]

...yes?

I can't tell without a poll.

I have no personal opinions otherwise.

 

[rosco rathbone]

Not so much any more rory, but it does seem to have reached some kind of steady state, one third oldsters, one third alts & trolls, and one third hapless noobs.

 

[MasterSnatch]

Seems like it's still full of spam, alts, dumb threads on politics, religion and overall racism. The general board really needs some heavy moderation.

Kinda similar to the three types of bacteria inside your digestive system that regulate each other and keep you good when they're in harmonic balance.

Hmmmm....

So no, nothing much has changed.

LOL. There is very little spam. I'm sure there are lots of alts but I don't care, there aren't a lot of threads on politics, religion or race anymore. You're kinda picking what you want to see.

And fuck no to moderation.
