I mean seriously... some of the whining shit I've seen here is fucking pitiful.
If you really think the boards have gone to the dogs, that the mods are crazy, and that your ickle-wickle piece of cheese is being moved without your consent, then just fuck off.
I've been coming to this forum off and on for the past couple of years. Actually, it's really not so bad overall, at least when compared to many other forums I've lurked and participated in. I like the wide variety of opinions and the diverse backgrounds of the posters here. It's often difficult to keep up with some of these threads, since each time I visit, there's a few new pages added to some of them.
Even the "whining" threads might have some value, as it might give people the opportunity to see both the positive and negative aspects of a given forum hashed out and discussed.
However, I also agree that if people don't like a website or forum, then there's no real reason to stick around. There are plenty of sites and message boards out there which accommodate a wide variety of viewpoints, from far left to far right, and everything in between.
Some years ago I found a site called Flame Warriors which categorizes different types of message board posters in a satirical way. It's a rather funny site which kind of sums up what happens on message boards and the different styles of poster and cliques which develop.
Even the situation you're addressing is covered under Rebel Without a Clue:
quote:
Rebel Without a Clue's deep seated and infantile hostility to authority motivates his random and seemingly gratuitous attacks on list owners, Admins, Nannies or anyone else who attempts to maintain order and civility in discussion forums. Differing markedly from Rebel Leader, he is unattached to any cause other than petulance for its own sake, and will therefore seldom inspire general insurrection. In his frequent and ineffectual attacks on the established order he will often cite the Bible, or the US Constitution to support incoherent arguments. Rebel Without a Clue NEVER reads forum FAQs , and loudly decries as fascism any enforcement whatsoever of forum rules.
Rebel Leader is a bit different:
quote:
Rebel Leader has an uncanny ability to upset the settled order of a discussion forum. Other Warriors may be excellent in single combat, but Rebel Leader's charisma, political instincts and verbal skills enable him to rally collective assaults powerful enough to overthrow the Royals and silence Cyber Sisters. Rebel Leader may draw allies from almost any of the other Warrior classes, but he can usually count on Loopy in the early stages of the conflict, and Sycophant after the revolution is well underway. Once the revolution has succeeded, however, Rebel Leader quickly loses interest in the cause. As is the case with false King-Fu Masters, the bones of wannabe Rebel Leaders litter the battlefields.
