I'm serious about this. You guys are awfully mean and if you want to get active posters with a new perspective to give a jumpstart to this forum, you should take it upon yourself to nurture them and show them the ropes.

So look, poster to poster, next time you read a bad post and feel the urge to right "suck my dick OP" or whatever, how about writing this instead: "Hi OP! I've noticed you posting in this forum and I really appreciate the kind of insights you bring to the table! But listen, maybe your posting could be improved if you just did x, y and z!"

This would honestly help GBS overall by mitigating the exclusionary atmosphere with an earnest effort to help new posters. And the new posters, in turn, would be more likely to continue trying to refine their posting style until they fit in. It's a win-win.

Let's do it, GBS. Let's be the forum that *helps* rather than *hurts.*

Game's over, and fuck you Jimson. It's not my fault that you guys couldn't get your shit together by deadline. No one gets access to docs because I don't fucking care anymore, I hope you all enjoyed ruining my game, and there won't be another.

Go gently caress a beautiful consenting man or woman depending on your orientation, you piece of candy.

I'm inclined to agree. Who wants to post in a forum when the whole first page of every thread is people telling you to go gently caress yourself?

we need to start actually punishing people who poo poo their worthless threads that no one wants to read all over gbs

the gas chamber is for reference of what poo poo threads look like its not supposed to be the entire punishment itself

if most gbs posters were actually funny this wouldnt be necessary but here we are

how will whether a thread is poo poo or not be determined? threads with terrible OPs can still be fun (the max payne image thread), and threads with well thought out OPs can still be terrible (that stupid emoticon theatre thing).

i agree that a lot of people arent funny, and i say people who are consistently worthless but not offensive enough to be probated should start being probated. start with Not_Rainbow_Horse. i have never seen him post anything of any worth.
