Feels like a lot of the Saga Telling posters have gone or dwindled off, but I guess that might just be because the internet is like a way bigger deal and you can get that poo poo on reddit/chan and way more anonymously?

Also the baseball rules thread from the other day was awesome until people stopped posting new baseball rules and started arguing about whether baseball was good or bad which was besides the point.

its bad

i read people talk about that Halloween all the fuckin time. i ask what happened and I always get some kinda funny joke-sponse instead of a real answer. it's a v big mystery to me. i dont remember that day at all but apparently it changed this place

FOR


EVER



wtf happened exactly? pls be polite to me I get confused easily and I am gullible and naive so just the facts ma'am don't go spinnin any yarns or you can tell your story walkin

not much to say tbh. rules were removed out of the blue on halloween, people went nuts and had fun with it, everyone expected it to end after a day or a week and revert back to gbs 1.0, but it never did

most of the old posters were driven out to pyf/dnd and people finally felt comfortable enough to call out how dumb it was to send thousands of dollars to a lovely alabama hot dog man

modern gbs pretty much is redditors that don't like the site format

the OP made a retarded post and the rest of the thread looks to be people making GBS threads all over him for it so idgi

brb gonna go finish up my image macro of known social justice skeletons so we can all boycott and send death threats to them, because we are literally reddit

People posted less in old GBS and that might have had something to do with the average quality of posts. The forum moved just as fast but I think it was because there was a greater diversity of posters. Also people put effort into the funny things they wrote.

90% of all jokes in oldgbs were garbage puns that plagued the first 4 pages of every RSS news thread, at which point they petered out and the thread blossomed into a competition to see who could be the most pedantic and outraged person in the entire world. once the thread became completely unreadable by the general population, all that was left was 3-4 idiots making the same circular arguments in the format of 1,000-word posts
