this is a nu gbs thread, and while it helped spawn the cuck meme, was extremely good original content, probably better than whatever hellbastard was doing with skulls and pirates that i did not read

Does anyone feel like the zeal and fervor that once defined the GBS community is starting to fade? I mean, my local fan club doesn't meet as much as it did in the past (we do around one or two meets a month now, when we used to meet every weekend in the past).
People I know from the forum tell me that they are getting tired of GBS in general and of the forums drama over hotdogs, cuck memes, etc. Some just say that they are burned out by it all and want to devote time to their other interests and hobbies instead.
Personally, I am increasingly caring about the forum and posting much more myself, too. I am not as active in the fan club now. I rarely read any other forums. Hell, I rarely read byob anymore.
I get the feeling that most posters, after almost one year of non-stop interest in GBS, are starting to wind down a bit. People are still fans, but they are not as into it as they once were. A guy I know who posts here believes that GBS 2015 could be the end of GBS because he believes that the intrest has peaked, and has fatigued itself to exhaustion that most goons are suffering from burnout in general.
Are you guys suffering from burnout? Do any goons you know scaling down their involvement with the forum? I wonder what this means for the forum as a whole - reduced levels of activity, etc.

this post is over two lines, you are clearly mental

When I joined the rules were what set GBS apart. Posts had to have some sort of content and unfunny memes and catchphrases were banned when they became tired and unfunny. I'm not sure why anyone would argue that this is bad and we need more bullshit to scroll past.

It's not bad, and I hope over the last year we have learned that some rules are good rules that should be enforced. If I wanted loving reddit I would post in loving reddit.

You're not allowed to mock people in BYOB I think, or it's at least full of people who would otherwise be mocked if they posted in GBS.

i thought it was weird at first when ppl were complaining about being arbitrarily and unfairly punished by creepy failures like woodchuck bc it says right there on the package that that's what your $10 buys you

but it turns out that idiots attempting humor is more fun than idiots attempting to outsmart each other, and all the crybaby poo poo about how gbs sux now because you can't win internet points anymore by dogpiling ppl you don't like with tumblr copypasta is p lol

gbs was fun as gently caress when the only acceptable form of posting was finding creative ways to call someone a rape apologist, regardless of the actual topic. miss the gently caress out of that.

Was this really a thing that was happening a lot? I notice it a lot more now where threads that could have had potential got immediately poo poo up in the first few pages. Seriously try to find a thread that isn't full of name calling and people calling each other out. That's kind of the whole point about rules that posts have to have some sort of content.

it's the only thing that ever happened in gbs '09-'13. the witch hunts where the only thing that broke up the monotony of a bunch of godawful nerds pedantically lecturing each other about things they don't grasp.

it's exactly the same poo poo in old gbs and new gbs, it's just that the insult circus is run by a different bunch of morons now and they like to chestbeat about it in response to posts like yours

like a few weeks ago we had the exact same thread as the first one sexgun rasputin just posted, with people whose opinions are just as bad, only the recent one is in lowercase and has shorter posts

Old GBS went days without anyone posting a thread because people were scared that their thread ideas would be deemed unworthy of old GBS, a bad forum where weird people talked about rape.

i'm not gonna go all comedy justice warrior here bc ffs but the least you can say about nugbs is that ppl attempt to approach topics with some levity in the interest of enjoying life instead of bitter impotent whining about social issues.

i mostly see people get insulted when they write long lovely sociology 101 effort posts because who wants to read that poo poo

serious gbs was rife with bullshit, not least the constant bullshit of goonlets having their just-world fantasies popped, which dragged down litereally every thread about a bad thing that happened

I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the very blanket of comedy I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way; otherwise I suggest you pick up a keyboard and stand a post.

New GBS is basically the same dumb poo poo as old GBS except now it's hilarious because we're ironically racist and can't spell. The photoshop threads even basically disappeared after a few good ones right at the start too.
