No one. That's why I used the apostrophe.

That’s a function of Chicken having 8000 boards for the most mundane and obscure topics.



And shite that was interesting suddenly got you banned. Creeper pics, nudity, stalking, doxing, drama/popcorn stuff....was eliminated to make a "safe space" for "sponsors"

Reddit on the otherhand allowed all this shite until just recently. Reddit started 2 years after TD, and grew exponentially by allowing all the muck, garbage, and grime people really want.

Might be a good topic for discussion, "Chicken, knowing what you know now, what would you have done differently with TD.com"?

This sounds corny as frick but the Early OT is what made the OT so popular today. The tag line on the board used to actually say “abandon all hope ye who enter here.” There’s a reason the classics board will never be made public.

Today it’s play nice, don’t be a dick or weirdo, and you might not get banned

Can you fault chicken for going the way he did? I mean it’s a business.

Of course not, I give him shite but I would have done the same thing. There’s no way he knew this site would blow up to what it’s become today. It’s just how it goes

I do blame him for his Larry Leo creation that purposely creates clickbait though. Some of those make me want to quit the site out of principle
