 What's this I hear about the forum dying?
I've been in and out of the loop lately.

Was there a single event/ fight that turned it all turned nasty?

 Re: What's this I hear about the forum dying?
I think more than half of KJ thought that election was not a good idea and it still happened. That's a problem, I suppose.

 Re: What's this I hear about the forum dying?
I didn't leave because of an admin election. I couldn't have cared less.
I left because Argos, Snack, Torrino and the clique of pretentious and deluded kids just made this place an unbelievably stagnant, unhappy and unfun place. This group persecuted everyone and anyone on the website just because they thought they were better than the rest of us. The forum became about riddles, sneers and sarcastic remarks about other posters rather than having any form of positive social interaction to counter the trolling. Seeing people revel in their own importance and sense of worth is not a good time for me.
Really it was down to a complete lack of maturity over everything else, they projected an obvious lack of real-life substance onto the site and that created a weird culture on the site where they became the dominant posters and no-one else found it worthwhile chipping in to get slaughtered or have response from people that are genuinely void of likeable or redeeming qualities. I choose not to live my life around those who aren't smart enough to understand other human beings and instead only understand their own perspective so I thought it was best to leave since this website is now controlled by that exact social ineptitude and lack of adult thinking.
So no, the administrator election is not to blame for me leaving. I looked at who was left and out of the crowd I can safely say there were two regular posters tops i enjoyed, and that's not a great batting average, and in honesty i was tired logging on to defend myself or other posters all the time, so I chose to exit the site. The website went from a labour of love to just a labour very quickly, and i solely attribute that downfall to a particular group of people.
Loyal leaving had nothing to do with it. He had left before on trips and this website had survived without him, It was about what the website had become. No longer was the board populated with the MikeQs or the TonyMontanas, instead it became about the Argos and the Snacks, and that shift in posting pattern is what ended it for me. Im not interested in what they have to say.
I didn't expect it to suffocate in it's own shit quite so quickly though, but it has been kind of glorious to see it die on it's arse.

I did not intend to leave the impression that the events I mentioned were all in consequence of the previous ones. I was just mentioning them all.

Michael still is projecting his personal shortcomings onto others: a trick of consciousness he may have learned from his minion.

 Re: What's this I hear about the forum dying?
argos, people are complaining about the lack of great people posting in nowadays. i wonder why. this place is full of tumbleweeds. the only reason there aren't any today because the topic is about michael and i today. and we are posting. but after this menstrual trip, i will be posting even more infrequent than i have in the past fortnight.
i hope u r happy with the degenerates that still post here.

And it didn't help that torri, after winning, seemed to not do much he promised while campaigning, while being rude and mean to people, driving people like Michael away. It was very unadmin like. So we made his life hell till he one day seemed to just snap and resign. Victorious.Now he's doing his own forum with Loyal, and I see it having the same problems that KJ has.
