yeah the people here now are still basically the same people as were here ten-fifteen years ago, they just got older, more tired and their numbers dwindled. you get less reward and less community for making fun stuff also imo the culture has changed from the hard-line rear end in a top hat irreverence into something more prudish and moralistic. LF existed at the death of the old paradigm and so they could turn it against itself; CSPAM is fully within the new one

i'm not saying anything eroded in a pejorative sense, just that it changed. when LF was young the big cartoon was south park, whose main feature was edgy provocation. the limits of that paradigm became obvious, however, so online culture shifted. and so it goes

we should be careful about assuming that the cultural values of the moment are "wiser" or more enlightened than those that came before. they're mostly just answering different needs. eventually the cultural neuroses of our own moment will be exposed, and the culture will shift again. history does not progress in a linear manner, and human morality is a very flexible thing; it adapts to the conditions of its time and place.

Let us beware, however, of being led by such examples into a pharisaic self-satisfaction. Laws and ethical traditions may be improved; but it is, after all, the individual who has to choose between good and evil. Like the artist, he has to solve each particular problem from the beginning, as though there had never been any moral beings before himself. The believers in progress are apt to think too much in terms of society and the community — in terms of laws, ethical systems, social conditions, economics, of everything and anything except the individual with his soul and his liberty of choice. The satisfaction which looks at abstract figures about humanity at large finds it fairly easy to believe in moral progress. The orthodox Christian, who considers the individual soul, does not. For every individual soul has its share, in theological language, of original sin. All the social rearrangements do is to make it easier for the individual to avoid one kind of sin and harder to avoid other kinds. Thus the pacification and commercialization of a war-like society will naturally results in a reduction of the amount of violence and cruelty and an increase of covetousness and fraud. We congratulate ourselves sanctimoniously on being less bloodyminded than our fathers; but we forget that our avarice is as deadly a sin as their anger. Similarly, the enrichment of classes previously poor may lead to a decrease of envy and diminish the temptation to steal; but concurrently it tends to increase pride and self-satisfaction and to multiply the possibilities of sloth, gluttony, and lust. A close inspection reveals the fact that most so-called moral progress is really not a progress at all but merely a re-valuation of values and a re-distribution of temptations. Every society has its characteristic vices and virtues. The individual will tend to magnify the virtues and belittle the vices of his particular community. Thus, at present, we hate violence and condone covetousness, pride, and gluttony. In the ages of chivalry, men admired courage and magnanimity and set little store by our commercial virtues of patience, prudence, and industry. Anger and its violent manifestations were for them venial; but they hated avarice and they all theoretically admired, while not a few actually practiced, asceticism and humility. Have men morally progressed since the time of the Crusades? Very little, I should imagine. The most we can say is that the commonest virtues and the most prevalent vices are not the same as they are seven hundred years ago.

UPDATE! If you read the sagas thread at all, you may have noticed the following posted a few months back in October: Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:*ignores whatever this is* Armed with this information, I contacted the FOIA office at the Secret Service and asked for their advice, which was to resubmit a FOIA request and "provide as much detail as possible." And so I did and was surprised at the findings:   Doesn't quite sound like anything I recall in LF. Also its from a year later. Who's to say what really happened? All I know is that someone emailed the Secret Service a screenshot containing "pornographic male homosexual images."
