What was it like?

What was it like when the bbs "was good"?
Just that everyone keeps saying that the bbs sucks now as all we do is the same old boring threads.
If we bring that originality from the old days back, it could bring the bbs back into life. I guess.
So, what DID we do "back then" that made the bbs better than now?

[megagrounderx]

There threads had better boobs

[XenonOSX]

lol you think the bbs was ever good

[RockLou]

Stop saying the BBS was better back in teh old dayz.

Or I will rip your spine out of your ass and feed it to you!

[kittehg0d]

I guess there was no photoshop threads back in the day :/

[Dosensuppen]

I read some of the older threads - seems similar.

However, back then, people cracked even more jokes and had less serious topics. Makes a good BBS to me, actually.

I only read some, just saying. Not all.

I signed up in 2007 and it was meh.
Now it's a crisis of trolls and 2010 people.

Why did I join NG at a bad time for the BBS?!? I've seen so many trolls...that...that...it's not funny at all!!!

Less mentally-retarded users had the amount of money to afford a PC and an internet connection, therefore it was a hell of a lot better in here.

Let's just make fun of people who signed up after us.

As an 03fag, i can tell you that literally NOTHING has changed. The bbs is still full of trolls and crybabies. Just ignore the people who say that there was ever a better time. 5 years from now people will be saying "back when i joined in 2010 the forum was so much better." and we all know that won't be the case as literally nothing could make this forum worse.

I'm not saying it, I keep seeing thread talking about how this place is dying.

spine pancakes doesn't sound nice :/

If we keep saying the BBS was good back in old days then we make ourselves believe it was better. If we believe it than it becomes a common fact, to get it to be good again is to stop saying it was better back then.

Also, define good.

I guess you answered a part of my question. it's just that I need advice on making threads that are original and cool to make this places better. If YOU have cool ideas. post them on the BBS!

I need an ng calendar for this!

[Urban-Champion]

I have a huge fucking rant about how I want users to stop complaining about the BBS etched into my memory. And it's ready to blow.

[Impornant]

The BBS was good when people posted random pictures that had nothing to do with their post.

The BBS has always been like this, it's just as it was years ago when people claim the BSS was good.
