I just realised that this thread is the perfect example of how bad things are on here right now as it keeps getting bumped back up and talked about like all the time. Do we really have nothing better to discuss then this old issue once again?

And yes I see the irony in me posting here, but I mean, come on, this is getting silly.

I was saying this to one of the mods the other day. Here's my two cents, for what it's worth:

I think there's a lot of truth to the whole, "if you don't like the way things are, then start by changing yourself." The more you tell others that they're wrong and that they need to change, the more they'll probably do it to you. Nothing gets done because everyone's in the wrong. I'd advocate we just be the model of what we'd like to see more of.

I would imagine that the success of this website and the people in it are connected. Setting a negative atmosphere is going to affect the kind of people who stay and who buys what. Negative, needy customers tend not to be worth it in the long wrong.. or so I hear. If you don't like what's going on in the BBS, realize that you are part of that. You're part of that issue.

We've come a long way.

Two year old thread? Look again, this thread was made when my account was exactly one week old.

Some of these users were regulars back in the day. It's weird seeing them immortalized in a thread made at the very beginning of my Newgrounds career ~7 years ago.

It's also interesting to note that the only thing that changed with regards to the OP is that people no longer complain that the mods are too strict. That aside, there are still users complaining that Newgrounds (and the BBS) are going downhill, and blaming new users (and young users) for all of it.

But I wouldn't expect a '13er like you to understand.

Fuck off, there's nothing wrong with making an account in 2013.

In another decade, people will be like "haha, my account is soo old. I made it back in 2013!"

What did you just say to me? I'll have you know that I made my first account in 1994 but forgot my password.

There have been older threads that have been bumped.

Being an ng veteran doesn't make you any better than the rest of us, you imbecile.
