Wait, you didn't have stuff like this back in the day? People didn't give fans of other teams crap back then? Remember, I've been around for about a year.

What, pray tell, changed?

EDIT: I'd also like to know who doesn't come on here anymore because of this change.

People gave crap, but didn't resort to insulting the posters themselves. For the most part it was amiable, and banter was good natured. That doesn't exist anymore.

I see your point. Everyone hates United, but very few have insulted me personally.

People just take this waaaaaaay too seriously. It's a game. We are American fans of teams an ocean away. Because someone throws a jab at a Chelsea fan doesn't mean they are insulting your family legacy. (Chances are that you're the only fan in your whole family.)

Roll with the punches. Don't freak out when someone makes a bus comment or laughs at Arsenal's SELL SELL SELL policy. Posters, including myself, overreact way too much.

Technically it was just a SELL SELL policy. We only sold RVP and Song.

This fricking board is becoming insufferable lately. I hope you all are happy when you run off veteran posters, because its becoming miserable to even check this place anymore.






ETA: It is different, but it hasn't reached the point that people should leave. Don't read the stuff you don't want too.

+1. Just ducked in for a few minutes and saw this. Not sure I qualify as a "veteran poster", but BPG's assertion does apply to me. Apologies if this was just more inside banter, do carry on...

Its not that easy when you're already posting in a thread. If I see a title I don't want to talk about I don't open it. This is different.

Wait, tell us why has it become "insufferable" for you.

Everyone being arse holes about everything. This used to be one of the best board on this site because we were always friendly to newcomers, always civil with each other, and things were just really laid back. When someone posted something you disagreed with you had a normal argument that didn't resort to insulting someone else or their opinion. There weren't people popping into threads to incite others to anger for no reason. There wasn't as much "douche-ness" for lack of a better term.

Why can't we all just get along? You can disagree with someone without resorting to insulting them.

Beast is right about his Help Board thread. The board gets enough activity to have an active admin.

I think this singles out a few choice posters. But the thing is, a good bit of them have either been around for a while or have recently come back. There aren't many new people who are like this...

I'm not necessarily saying that they are new people. Just that the board has changed. There are many to blame, old and new (you're absolutely not one of them if that's what you're trying to get at).

Simple job..you would think. I've RA'd the stickied threads every day this week and they are still there. The admin would have a small and easy job. That's why I don't understand why it's so hard for the site to do.
