It has a little room for worthwhile threads now but it's still one big meme. Also every thread is filled with no content posts.

And idiots complaining about no good content

I'm honestly bored as poo poo with "cucking", "ironic" racism,Doobie, and anime bullshit in every loving thread. I say let the culling begin before the one year anniversary and take what we learned this year and bring it into 3.0.

yeah its definitely starting to play out, but this past year.. it needed to happen

time is a flat circle

Everything being so buried in irony and bullshit that it's basically impossible to tell if horrible opinions are genuinely bad or just being posted for fun have made GBS pretty uninteresting these days outside of photoshop or chat threads.

tbh it's pretty weird that posters just trip all over each other to post 'i'm a gay cuckold' on the first page of every thread, but it ultimately isn't that damaging (wtf just scroll past w/ your scull wheel) and it's loads preferable to GBS circa 2009

every news thread just turned into this repetitious pile of bullshit where a few posters would try to outsmart each other and it wasn't funny or interesting in the slightest
