The for real answer is a a bit over a year ago GBS became such groupthink fuckers people were giving away money they were going to use to buy christmas presents for their children so a guy in bumfuck alabama could open a hotdog stand. There was seriously a goon who gave 1500 american dollars to a guy who, surprise surprise, turned out to be pretty racist. The goon gave some half assed justification and if it were a better forum he would have, rightfully, been bullied until he cried. Instead the worst kind of liberal tards agreed it was a cool thing to do and gave the guy thousands of dollars.

The second half of it was a mod in TVIV made a little girl touch his dingdong and people were being banned and probated for bringing it up. Then with these two things the mods just said "gently caress it" and turned GBS into a nomans land that lasted for a few months. Then some minor rules came in like keeping a bunch of dumb poo poo confined to the colorful thread. Now we have this. It's a mean place that lost 2000 people from it's pre NU GBS peak but it's better for the most part. I would be nice if more people posted though.

thats hosed up if its true
