and then for a while it was good

"gamergate" happened, but mostly that got confined to its one awful thread and things were still ok

and then a big nest of racists on reddit got squashed and things have been getting worse and worse since

Hang on a second, are you "trolling" me?

Because you're complaining about the new GBS but if you had made this same post in old GBS you would have been banned for improper punctuation and grammar :confused:

gbs feels a lot more like 01-04 gbs now (just older and more cynical) so the real question is what happened to cause the gbs you are referring to

I remember posting in a thread and telling "abe" that gbs was bad and he changed it the very next day. So in a way I'm the mom and he's the dad or at least I like to pretend it's that way.

GBS used to allow being funny back in the old days then they stopped allowing that and it turned into a knock-kneed badforum and then SA started to crumble. Probably this was coincidental because new pieces of poo poo on the internet post on Twitter and Reddit now instead of forums rather than related to the fact that GBS was horrible and unfunny for a long time but eventually mods saw the light and allowed GBS to be funny again and it's swung a little too far to the real side these days maybe but I'm glad that it bothers ppl like you

Maybe after we get the blood pumpin again we can rein in on "i'm gay" and "ayy lmao" but for now it's yeehaw time

You should know this being regged in 2005, but maybe not. When did GBS become a carehard fagpile should be the real question, because it was really intolerable for a real long time and I never posted in here until Moses came down from Mt. Posting and told us that we no longer had to wear posting burkas and post like weenie sister men

BTW goodman Gobbo stopped coming to SA when GBS turned but he's a real gentle guy and just wants people to be nice and I'm sorry that people like him were driven away by all of this but we must make these forums great again and the way to do that is to allow comedy to step on everything else

What is the difference between "carehard fagpile" and "genuine discussion" since anyone that posts more than 2 paragraphs gets eye rolled until a new page starts

whoa there buddy arbitrarily reining in on posts deemed "unfunny" by the mods is exactly what caused the problem in the first place.
