True, there's only a fraction of the people left, but I'd rather have less people and a good forum than more people and a shithole forum.

always having a couple threads where people would argue wasnt bad it was just that a lot of people thought they were building valuable reputations that must be protected at all costs

The New Insincerity
Back in December 2013 we got a few inches of snow in Portland and I drank 18 cans of rolling rock in my room without sleeping and played straight through the new Tomb Raider. It was the best time of my life, recently.

the problem with nerds arguing is that they think the other person is actually a bad human being for disagreeing with them so they treat them like an rear end in a top hat but really they're the rear end in a top hat because they're being really rude but their opinion is supported by others so it just emboldens them

i guess this probably happens everywhere but i don't see a lot of arguments irl so my frame of reference is just online

The forums are now better than they were in November 2013, but the forums wouldn't be this good if it wasnt for the Trash Burning of November 2013 after the Catlady and Uptight rear end in a top hat Brigade. I think that the moderation on GBS has been good lately.

I rarely checked gbs from 2009 - 2014. What was a typical number of users logged in?

PYF and D&Ds traffic has double and tripled at least, so some have moved to sub forums.

I like GBS. I only wish when someone quoted my posts they'd be gold though. That would be the one change to improve GBS imo

I agree mate, honestly. I've been regged for a long time, and only now do I feel like I can post as i'd like. So good job, and Happy Thanksgiving.
