Seriously WTF?

[Zool]

I used to enjoy coming here and reading every thread and every post. Now I skim so much that it takes just a couple minutes to get through it all. The Packers are 4-2 and this place is a whining bitch fest in every single topic. Yes fine, ironic to be bitching about bitching I get it.

Does everyone just come here with their own specific opinion and agenda to push and throw it out repeatedly instead of having an actual conversation? Do you do this with people in real life of is this some sort of whipping post to vent your daily frustrations?

I'm actually sick of coming here and 2 years ago I NEVER thought that could happen. This place was lively, fun and interesting to read. Now its like I'm sitting in the middle of a fucking sewing circle listening to old bitties argue about which brand of stool softener works best. Stop ruining this site plz thx.

Old bitties are much more genteel even when their stool softeners don't work. Seriously, you make an excellent point that I was just discussing earlier this evening. I feel exactly the same way.

Yeah dude I agree. I'm not going to get into what I think the problem is, but yeah, this place basically sucks now.

I honestly feel like I keep my posts within the realm of decent discussion. Yesterday you cracked on me in the NFC north thread when I was discussing the NFC north QB's. I have no clue at this point what is "good posting" and what sucks in most peoples opinion.

Sure, there are a few trolls posting here, and in any forum, but I'm not sure what you are looking for.

Disappointed to find you using "bitties" when the word is Biddy/biddies. My moral is at an all time low.

I miss the sense of camaraderie. That people could play with one another a bit. There was a good naturedness that led to fantastic discussion that's missing. I used to come here every day and find stuff to laugh about and learn stuff too. When we switched to the 3-4, I figured I'd know it inside out by the time the season started, but I barely know anything about it. Everyone's too busy fighting to discuss it. Isn't good posting just a little common sense? Does common sense still exist?

I'd like to dedicate this to Harlan.



Memries,
Like the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored memories
Of the way we were
Scattered pictures,
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were
Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Or has time re-written every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we? could we?
Memries, may be beautiful and yet
Whats too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So its the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember...
The way we were...
The way we were...

Zool,

I'm feeling ya. On a side note, is your friend in for the baseball league? I'd like to get the expansion draft going while the World Series is still going on.

Also, you still need to cut two players.

[gbgary]

it's all brett's fault.

[Brandon494]

it's all brett's fault.

Honestly that does have a lot to do with it.

^ That and that some people cannot let people have a differing opinion. There is such an attacking, spiteful attitude here.

Extending upon that, too much history documented here that people will go and throw in your face whenever you were wrong, etc.

[MJZiggy]

Great. We know how to bitch about it. So what are we gonna DO about it? (cause if we don't do something, we're gonna completely kill this forum.)

I told you guys this awhile ago and no one supported me. Basically every forum develops one of two attitudes.

A) an "we're all in this together so let's help eachother and get along"

-or-

B) a "This is the way it is, so get on board or else, my way or the highway" kind of dealy.

This forum used to be A. Since the Favre retirement it has been B.


I'm not really sure if there is a good way to fix it unless you get rid of a lot of the core people here to get some fresh opinions and less familiarity.

If it were my forum, I would think long and hard about the following options:

- Wiping the entire posting database. It's radical but it will get rid of the ability to go and dig a bunch of crap up and offer up basically a pseudo fresh start.

- Outlaw all political posts, pornographic discussion/photos (even in garbage can). Politics never lead to a friendly environment.

- No personal attacks, rudeness, or prejudice posts of any type. Not even sarcastically.

If you think its bad this week, wait till next week. Either way there are going to be a bunch of people real unhappy about the outcome.
