bullshit, there are goons who have had an axe to grind for gbs since the rules change. and it is always the most insufferable humorless goons who bitch constantly. complain about poo poo not being funny but never make a funny post themselves. be the change you want in life, lead by example

I strongly disagree, I loved the old GBS during the reign of Abe and Icequeen and posted there all the time because you had to think before you posted. People "experimenting" with whatever random thoughts pop into their heads are the problem with GBS. If you didn't have something interesting to say back in 2007 you could just find some other thread where you did have something interesting to add instead of wasting everyone's time with tedious "im gay this cuck that" posts. And part of the reason why GBS 1.0 veterans are so mad about it is that it's basically impossible to have a serious general discussion on SA because most of the other forums are too specialized, and even D&D's chat thread, as good as it is, has to accommodate everybody's conversations in the same thread so any ongoing conversation between two or more posters will peter out quickly amid all the competition from other topics.

It's a quote from a QCS thread lol

To continue:

Well I have difficulty remembering individual conversations from several years ago but I do remember a debate with Hardcore Sax and several other people that completely blew apart my preconceptions of what would now be called "social justice" but back then didn't really have a name. I was actually trying not to mention that before to avoid triggering Pavlovian SJWs reflexes in people but it's definitely a conversation that would be drowned in terrible posts in GBS 2.0, and is too broad in scope for D&D, but in 1.0 was quite civil and interesting and made me completely re-evaluate the way I looked at the world. Its success relied completely on the willingness of the moderators to eject anyone who tried to disrupt the conversation.

There were others that I remember much more dimly but that one was life-changing in the most literal way.
