It's depressing
At the old times everything was so simple. We had good moderators, good community. You could easily tell what was on your mind. Banned user percantage was low... And now, because of some assholes on the forum we lost another mod. If you ask how do I know about the old times, well I was that kid who used "BuDDy100" as a name. Do you remember? I wish everything was so simple like the old times.

This kind of reminded me of what Crane said in episode 2 of TWAU.
Anyway, I was around when the forum was... Different. With a different format. Different community. I miss those times. I wish... I wish things could go back to how they were. Why did things get this bad? Why?
Driving a mod to quit... It's unacceptable. I have lost faith in this community ever getting better. I'm just glad there are some good folks around.
It still can be simple and peaceful and a good community, like old times if we decide to make it that way.
I was trying to copy Crane actually
Yeah we all feel the fell of losing a good mod. I had faith about reviving this community too but it was killed. I can swear that I thought this was the best community ever when I joined. Ah well... But still we have good people like you.
We do have good mods. They all do great jobs at keeping the site clean from trolls and plan idiocy. It's a shame, however, that a few members abuse the mods and take them for granted far too often. Imagine the site without the mods we've had for so many years! Rule 34 and insane arguments would be flooding the forum...
I knew you were quoting Crane in some way.
It can't be like "old times". Old times are gone and won't return. In old times, forcing a moderator out of the forums was unthinkable. Now it can be done in a blink of an eye, and people responsible will "regret it and apologize", instead of just not doing it in the first place. And, besides, if forums went from good to something like this with largely the same people, how do you expect the forum to change back to better just because those very people, with whom the forums have grown worse, will decide to change it back?
It was never perfect, thats just nostalgia, The problem is there are just more people, so more aggressive people show up too.
Never lose hope dude , and yeah the people that started the fire are the problem we just need a way to deal them.
Other than that , you make an eloquent point.
I don't expect anything to change (to better, anyway). But, we'll see.
Oh man , the dark times of the forum.AND ,you're right.
IMO I see mods are important people , even though they're wrong they are always right , mods are appointed for a reason.
Agreed, I mean I have been here for quite a while and I was ultra-active back then until everything got stale here...more and more people showed here which was great but this also added a wave of assholes and trolls who ruined everything...
Do you think things will go back to how they were?
All this "old days are gone" stuff reminds me of Rick's speech from the comics. You think we come to this forum to protect ourselves from the walking dead? Don't you get it? We are the walking dead!
Seriously, I leave you people alone for several days and this weirdness is going on? I feel like a dad who comes home to discover his kids have left the house in ruins. You might even say you guys are amid the ruins, even. rimshot (Edit: Because misunderstandings happen, I should probably point out that this is a joke, and not intended to be mean-spirited, which it may come off as. And stuff.)
Things always change, sometimes you can do something to influence how that change goes about.
I've seen a lot of people banned lately and I'm not sure why
I don't know, Clem, but I hope so.
because they deserved it, or else they wouldn't have got banned
