Cardiovorax: Jun 5, 2011; I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.

post a lot of child porn. it works for 4chan and reddit.

why the hell would we want to make it relevant? at the minute its basically a fruity little nerd club and if it became popular then we would be flooded with 'normals' and we'd have to dress nice and pretend like we arent a bunch of freaks thanks but no thanks!

It needs a name that's more "hip" and "with it", like intentionally misspelled or with vowels left out or whatever

I suggest one of the following
Somthng Awfl
somethingawful.com (with .com being part of the name)
Sumthinawful (like how Reddit is "read it" misspelled and smashed together)

To whom would we like to be seen as relevant, is the first question we must ask.

We could do a mass suicide if we wanted some news coverage?

Nathilus: Apr 4, 2002; I alone can see through the media bias.

I'm also stupid on a scale that can only be measured in Reddits.

Nah, I've done my share of genuine abyss gazing. Let those young scraps at Anonymous (or whoever it is that is cool these days) carry the torch. I'm as legit hosed up as I need to be, thanks. In the best traditions of the Game I got out while I was ahead, and with only moderate perversions and ZERO arrest warrants.

Thanks tho

Stop being so drat insular towards every other online community. Integrate a little more, you elitist fucks.

Also make efforts to restore GBS to its original iteration. Of course it wasn't perfect with the E/N and news aggregation but at least it wasn't a figurative cesspool of shitposts and fake irony which is what remains now since all of the funny imaginative posters hosed off.

actually gbs is fine as it is now, the structure should allows for funny stuff

its just a lot of posters are really boring and kinda humorless and rather not put any effort into trying to be a bit funny. but that is getting called out now so :shrug:

I don't know why people say this when there have been tons more goldmined GBS threads since 2.1 than the same time period before it.
