You seem to imply that you've changed.

I've evolved from "kind of a punkass" to just "punkass".

I guess the good news is the overall tone of PR has dramatically improved, if what happened in the last page or so of the Biden thread was is considered a total mess (or however it was described) that had to be cleaned up.

Biden thread has been cleaned and reopened.

To your last point, again, it isn't everyone being shitty to everyone. It's the same couple of people. Deal with THEM.

We're trying.

Slick hasn't logged in since the 22nd (scary since they had covid in the house)
My wrist is not good at all and typing for long periods hurts like a bitch.
Davii has been busy with life and work outside the board.
Turf has been involved in the process throughout.

It's just a timing thing based on how the board was set up.

Open now.

I think the great thing is that we are now needing to REALLY try hard to find bad behavior, so that's a good thing, and so things should just keep getting better.

See you guys in a week.

Listen, GEM. You're a moderator as are the others you mentioned. Your first priority in life should be moderating the handful of posters left on this board. If that isn't your sole purpose in life you should relinquish your post.

With the huge salary they get from BF, I don't know how they don't make it their number one priority...

One thing I got from reading through this thread again was that we used to have such a solid base of posters. I remember back in the day when I'd click on "New Posts" there would oftentimes be too many threads for me to go back through and catch up on because there were so many people here. I've made lifelong friends because of this board and the other one, whatever it was called. It's sad that there are so few people left here. I took a few long hiatuses, so I'm not sure where the unraveling started, but it sucks.

I think it's mostly just that message boards are dying out. Their function has largely been replaced by Twitter and Reddit. In the past I think there was always attrition from message boards, but there was always an influx of new posters as well to balance it out. Now it's only attrition. There hasn't been even a single new member join here and actually stick around for years it feels like.

I just can't believe I never posted in this fvcking thread.

Damn it!

Some were permabanned, some left for personal reasons, and others got upset by something on the board and never came back. A few are probably at the Mane or some other board by this point im sure.
