I just don't get what the big mystery about GBS is. some things are funny, some things are interesting, some things suck poo poo. mods are good. paying customers are pacified. drama is the enemy of fun.

Look, you want an actual idea?


How about you incentivize the type of posting you want.

You make a CYOA post, keep up with a schedule, put effort into it, so on and so forth, free forums upgrade of your choice.

Actually make a fun and entertaining thread, toothbrushes, Picks Infotainment threads and the like. Change an avatar, including a mods.

Contribute something, to this dead gay loving forums, and you actually get rewarded.


Or we can all just keep jerking our dicks and farting on each other.

Honestly, would you?

I post something, get attacked, respond and receive the same punishment as the guy with 70 bans/probations.

I've been here for a long time, and made a lot of friends off of the forums. I felt invested.

Good luck with the website, and with the pregnancy.

It was a 6 hour probation. You attacked back, and honestly your attacks were much more personal than theirs. I don't really care how many bans or probations another poster has. If you're doing the same thing as them, you are going to receive the same punishment.

If you have a problem with things from now on private message me instead of using this thread as a way to stubbornly make a point. I'm no longer going to take the time to explain or break down why I'm banning or probating someone.

Good luck to you as well, wherever you end up going.

thats subjective. i find that poo poo to be horribly lame and unfunny (the toothbrush thing, whatever). but what i find funny everyone hates. lets let the people who use their free time moderating an internet forum decide what is funny or just let it ride and only get rid of obvious spam / threatening poo poo and let the rest rise or fall on merit. or whatever who cares, seems like things are fine and everyone is just being bitchy

Oh, ok. So you don't have to read it.

It seems plenty of others do enjoy that sort of thing.

You enjoy a different type of humor, that's fine as well. If you make a thread entitled "Asslick, McBalls" Thread and it goes gold from sheer hilarity, hey, you can get a reward as well.

So yes, humor is very subjective, it needs to stay that way.

The threatening poo poo, doxxing and the like I think we are all in agreement on, that poo poo should go.

I don't have pm's and google did not show an email address when I searched for yours to send you an email.

Look I'm not trying to antagonize you or be difficult. Least of all because you're the pregnant partner of the site founder. I am sorry if I've upset you, that was the furthest thing I wanted.

I like what you've done. I like this place. I met my wife off SA. We have a daughter now too. It's cool and scary and wonderful. I hope everything works out for you three.
