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.
im calling u out, poopyhead

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.

Maybe I'm biased but when I joined the forums, GBS was loving horrible and I literally would read the FYAD mirror versions of threads, because they would pick up most of the actual funny posts and condense a 100 page thread down to about 10 pages. If FYAD didn't have a mirror thread, I'd scan real quickly past all the typical old-GBS format posts (long, ten dollar words, scripts of their conversation like i give a poo poo (why were these usually pretend-conversations about athiests or catholics or republicans or w.e), etc) and just read the actual, funny/good posts. I'd read about ten pages in five minutes because I'd scan it so quickly.

tl;dr old gbs loving sucked, nobody wanted to post in it, except for a small core of really obsessed wierdos. those same wierdos still post here, but they dropped the sentence case for the most part because the more retarded an old gbs poster is the more terrified they are of standing out.



yo also i unironically miss seeing 3-4 paragraph posts about how upset they are a poster would use fag or retard or whatever as an insult. i'm so loving mad about internet words right now.

I dunno, I browsed gibbis a lot back then and there was a lot of long posts but I never got this thing about people getting offended by people saying human being or the rape derails. Maybe I just missed those threads but it kinda comes off like people just like being able to say fag a lot and like every thread is the exact opposite now where everyone just tries to out insult each other a bunch

I do agree that people posting with more levity is nice and there has been some pretty funny posts and threads because of it but like 800000 threads get posted every day and most of it is even more white noise than old gbs

You see, but you do not observe.

Photoshop threads in SA were loving cool back in the 00's because nobody knew how to PS for poo poo and there were a few nerdy PS wizards ahead of the curve here, but in 2014 there's a billion websites dedicated to Photoshops, some truly excellent, so it's hard to stand out the way it used to

what I'm saying is, PS threads as the ol' reliable great content generator are not a good idea anymore


hahahaha what was wrong with these peoples

every single post in this thread would warrant a probation/ban in old gbs. posting about posting, shift key, hate speech & mod sass (defined as mentioning the moderation) these punishments would be unequally applied based on the pedophile's opinion of any given poster. you would also be probated if enough spastic faggots mashed report, even if you didn't break any of the couple dozen written & unwritten rules

the point is that nobody should care if i say fag. it is a word, on the internet, that they read. they even have the tools to make it so they don't ever have to read me posting it again.

that was the worst. everyone was a goddamn expert in everything and would authoritatively say poo poo that was incorrect

it still happens all the time both here and everywhere irl, but old GBS was especially rife with special snow flakes that fancied themselves enlightened scientific minds perfectly capable of chiming in on quantom physics and such

edit: I for example cannot even spell "quantum"

This is all backwards. If you don't like a news story thread or something, you vote one and move on. (or just don't read it) If you're tired of reading "I'm gay" and "cuck" for the hundredth time in an otherwise funny thread, there's no button for that.
