im a christian. jesus died for your sins. thats kind of a cliche thing to say but the weird thing about it was that he rose from the dead based on many eye witness accounts and 2000 years of scrutiny. so since hes the only guy who did that, im going to give him the benefit of the doubt on some of his teachings. if anyone knows anyone else who came back from the dead let me know. peace.

I think to make GBS great again, there needs to be a number of high quality, well thought out posts with good formatting and post structure. The kinds of post that make people proud to post in them. The kind of thread where someone would think twice about low content and low effort posts. When I joined the forums in 2004 people gave a drat. We had giants of the posting world and they inspired us and we held them up on our shoulders and they in turn pulled us up from the pits. We used them as human ladders.
I became a funnier person by wholesale taking funny things from this forum and using them on people too cool to actually visit a comedy Web forum. And you know what? It loving worked. People liked me. Women wanted to be with me and men wanted to be me. I had the golden goose on my computer. And that goose was something awful.
People took actual interesting ideas from both the Internet world and also the real outside world. People found poo poo in their backyards. They built houseboats. They spied on their creepy neighbors. They drew pictures of bathroom issues. Spun tales of inappropriate drug use gone right. They sold scammers fake computers. They found train wreck people and we swam in their filth, laughing at the absurdity of it all.
Perhaps the issue is that the posters in these forums are not living anymore.
I'd like to blame all of this on millenials, but I think if we take a look at ourselves we'll see we haven't kept the spark alive.
Each and every one of us needs to take the time, the effort, and rediscover our love of great posting.
So tomorrow morning, at the cucking of dawns first rooster, I want you to wake up and smile. Seize the day. Be the forums you know you can be.
Godspeed, and Goodnight

There's no need for this. Okay?

I'm expressing an opinion, and you're being insulting. If you disagree, hey that's fair but calling me a dipshit, saying I'm full of poo poo, log out and never come back, I've never made a good thread or post etc., (I think I got them all right?) that just really serves to prove my point.

You're not offering much in the way of a dissenting opinion, you're just being rude.

Like the rules say:
Before you post: Before posting, please ask yourself the following question: "Am I making a post which is either funny, informative, or interesting on any level?"

do you follow this rule?

You certainly post a lot, you fyad-lite GBS forum superstar, and the quantity doesn't capture a lot of quality in my thinking. But I guess you need this as an outlet in your life.

Honestly, would you?

I post something, get attacked, respond and receive the same punishment as the guy with 70 bans/probations.

I've been here for a long time, and made a lot of friends off of the forums. I felt invested.

Good luck with the website, and with the pregnancy.

hey buddy, lets be friends.

I disagree with this idea on principle, but if it means dgsw gets banned I'm all for it. Or maybe you could get banned and he could get permad

whatevs. im not sure what the hell i ever did to anyone. i just like to hang out online and post in threads and poo poo. seems like a pretty harmless release to me. it seems like everyone is really upset about something but i dont get it. oh well. gbs is fun

I just don't get what the big mystery about GBS is. some things are funny, some things are interesting, some things suck poo poo. mods are good. paying customers are pacified. drama is the enemy of fun.

# ¿ Mar 31, 2016 02:33

dad gay. so what: Feb 18, 2003; by FactsAreUseless

thats subjective. i find that poo poo to be horribly lame and unfunny (the toothbrush thing, whatever). but what i find funny everyone hates. lets let the people who use their free time moderating an internet forum decide what is funny or just let it ride and only get rid of obvious spam / threatening poo poo and let the rest rise or fall on merit. or whatever who cares, seems like things are fine and everyone is just being bitchy

LadyAmbien posted:

It was a 6 hour probation. You attacked back, and honestly your attacks were much more personal than theirs. I don't really care how many bans or probations another poster has. If you're doing the same thing as them, you are going to receive the same punishment.

If you have a problem with things from now on private message me instead of using this thread as a way to stubbornly make a point. I'm no longer going to take the time to explain or break down why I'm banning or probating someone.

Good luck to you as well, wherever you end up going.

good job btw

Oh, ok. So you don't have to read it.

It seems plenty of others do enjoy that sort of thing.

You enjoy a different type of humor, that's fine as well. If you make a thread entitled "Asslick, McBalls" Thread and it goes gold from sheer hilarity, hey, you can get a reward as well.

So yes, humor is very subjective, it needs to stay that way.

The threatening poo poo, doxxing and the like I think we are all in agreement on, that poo poo should go.

i think we are on the same page. im not sure it really matters though, other than i think you are a good poster and you should do you
