The Iceman of the North Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 In fact, I remember the VERY FIRST "What's wrong with the board" thread."What's wrong with the board? Back when we started this board last week, everybody was much nicer to each other." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Former Lord of Winterfell Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I've been here for 12 years, and I am not sick of them. So, there ;)In fact, I remember the VERY FIRST "What's wrong with the board" thread.And I think I'd probably end up writing the very same thing I did back then, which was something along the lines of "the Board is fine."

Fez Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Fez,Damnit I asked her first. Laura (my wife) would understand after all how many bacon scented women are there on the planet?Yes but I saw the post first. I was just struck dumb by the wondrous nature of such a thing and took some time before being able to craft an appropriate declaration of love. By the time I was ready to, you had sneaked in like some sort of woman-stealing sneaky person! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mya Stone Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Ali, if you smell like bacon in May, I'm going to as nicely as possible ask you to shower. I can't abide the smell of bacon right now. :( Maybe you can shower with me to soften the blow? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maltaran Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I hope there's not a change. I think a big problem is that the board is growing -- sometimes by double digits, day-to-day -- and the mods really are hard-pressed to keep on top of all the activity. Would appointing some new mods be an answer to that (not that I'm volunteering, I don't have the spare time to be a mod - just wondering).I've only really noticed the name-calling in the US politics threads - it serves a purpose, because it lets me know I can start scanning the posts instead of reading them until I hit something with actual useful information in it. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Scot A Ellison Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 When did everyone first start posting. I started in March or April of 03 right before my daughter was born. That 's the only reason I have a specific recollection of when I stared. It was on the old EZboard site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacen Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I propose that we form a Minipax division within the board, to assist the moderators. These chosen servants of the people will monitor ALL board activity and report any and all suspicious and/or offensive board behaviors. Retaliation shall be swift and merciless, with violators being summarily banned or restricted solely to TTTNE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTTNE, while sometimes in poor taste (I personally don't care for the taste of spam, myself, even chocolate covered), and always suspicious, is rarely offensive (though apparently is defensive). Incidently, you can get bacon there on demand, pretty much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 More mods is probably a very good idea, actually. It's about time for it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLU-RAY Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I've noticed a slight increase, and like Ran, I do think it has something to do with a higher influx of folks; not necessarily b/c there's not enough moderator-hours to go around, but because it's much easier to subsume a couple of people into the culture than ten times that many. If one or two people show up making highly antagonistic posts or engaging in general douchebaggery, they tend to get moderated (literally or simply by the other boarders), while if ten show up like that, then to each of them, douchebaggery seems part of the norm, since nine other folks are doing it too - and it's more difficult to know where to begin in handling it.

Eponine Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I'm surprised and a little disappointed that more of the fl00b hasn't arrived in GC - especially since Ran said there actually are a lot of new members joining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
