Exactly, I've been a fucking pissed off user. Like a heroin junkie, I use Newgrounds as my fix, my informer, and my love. I understood that is the reason why I'm so angry here. It's not perfect, and it's not full of good people here. No, I'm not talking about it becoming 4chan, that's not the issue because Tom is a pretty cool guy and we have bbr. I am talking about the complete retard society that's squeezing us out. So as I changed, after two years here, I have seen two layout changes, and over and over again I have seen the high post counters falling away due to age or the society has become absolutely stupid here. So this is the last stand, guys. How about we whip these guys in shape, and make them learn the old fashion way you guys put me and a bunch of the others in. Let's forget about the attempt from last year. WE can hold the situation by the balls and take it down and control these guys / or bring it down with us.

This is war. Initiate.

Tactics:

1: Show the new generations some grammar, if they don't, ignore them until they do.
2: When arguing with them, read their points and make sure they are valid instead of some stupid made up shit, then ignore them until they compromise until they realize that they are being fucking stupid.
3: If you see smart, good, new generation help them win flame wars, it'll help you gain respect among the new people, and they'll scratch your back too.
4: If they harass you, ignore and they'll realize that they are being ignored by everyone else too.

Message to mods: I know you are going to say BAWWWWWWWWWW or something like that. So a few words are... do you like a bunch of 11 year olds gargling random words and posting them on the BBS, and putting that they are 18 years old? I know I don't. You decide.

I agree there a lot of idiots on the BBS. However, what are you going to do? What am I supposed to do? If I correct them or tell them to shape up, they get WORSE. It's like dealing with a frustrated toddler. It's a one-sided argument, and soon you're both laying on the floor crying.

The problem you have H-K-S is with young people. Because they are the ones that have bad grammar (90% of the time) and nothing will stop the young users being complete idiots, they're like kids.

What is different now is that there is a lot more of them... But they will mature, in their own time, and depending whether NG has hit it's peak in popularity the place will become much more mature (If popularity drops) and visa versa.

So, this site is full of the users of tomorrow.

The problems of the future, today!

When they worsen, YOU. IGNORE. THEM. That's what you do with toddlers. It's really the same thing excepts it's overruled with toddlers.

I am a proud supporter of this cause.

I will stand up for what must be done.

Idiots that are described in your post are the people that are saying that "this won't work"

Well I'm going to make an effort to make this place a more friendlier website to visit.

Maybe we can teach these men with lots of potential a lot of skills for a good life.

Did you try to put any effort into one of these 'phases'? No, this is not a phase right now because right now, I am just really angry at life right now. And I expect newgrounds to be there for relaxation instead of random little shits pissing me off.

That's the problem, Newgrounds is not a kid's website to begin with, 13+ only. With the population of Newgrounds already a odd job, we might have raiders that'll put explict links to kids. One thing of two would happen. Kid clicks Goatse or 2girls1cup, screams, parents look at NG, bock it, NG loses a member.
OR Kid clicks NSFW link, kid screams, parents look at it, parents sue NG. That is why Tom Fulp doesn't want kids here, because of the mandatory, obvious risks.

Im with ya H-K-S, Im sick of these forum noobs. I could care less if they post, but when they use horrible grammar, I get annoyed. Its hard enough trying to get through a point from a NORMAL post, let alone a horribly written post. It seems like every few threads, there is some retard who doesn't use normal grammar, and uses zero percent punctuation.

For example:

Uz Shudnt B so Meen to t3h n00bs, or th3y w1ll B meen 2 U.

Shit like that makes it so much harder to deal with the retarded point they are trying to get across.
We should teach those idiots how to post, or let them be ignored.

Fill a jar 2/3 of the way with ammonia, 1/3 of the way with bleach, and put a handfull of pennies at the bottom. Blow into it with a straw, and you get cool crystals.

You need to get over the fact that you have an extreme opinion and that you won't change anything.

Also, your kinda dramatizing your entire topic.

In fact I bet this thread will be forgotten about in less than three days.

Yes, yes I did put effort into that phase. Quite a bit actually. At least 2-3 threads this long if not longer, not to mention newsposts and basically every ounce of Newgrounds energy I had devoted to trying to "change" it. You can't fucking control a culture, it doesn't work that way.

Newgrounds is relaxing, you just need to take shit with a light heart instead of freaking out over an online community. I won't preach to you anymore, but come on. You honestly need to grasp what Newgrounds is. An ONLINE community.

You need to get over the fact that you have an extreme opinion and that you won't change anything.

Extremist opinions are opinions are few. I'm saying the opinions of the people who have understood NG for a few years. Not a few days. Here, imagine playing any online game you truly love, and login on to see
the same new people that keep bitching and saying stupid shit over and over again, it will get old.

Also, your kinda dramatizing your entire topic.

Please. If I was being a drama queen I would be acting like a total slut, commenting everyone that even remotely supporting me, let alone say "ok". Also, all this shit is true, kid. Lurk more around here and you'll see all the waste around here. You don't even need to lurk.

In fact I bet this thread will be forgotten about in less than three days.

Depending on what the society of NG comments on it. It can be in favor or it can shun me.

Im helping.
it seems like a good idea.
but we have not much supporters.

You see,usually,when you try to deal with fuckin assholes like the ones you are talking about.
People don't usually "ignore" them.They go on.they know it isnt really that right,but they do.
that reason is.they want to back up themselves in a fight.
dealing with a complete retard making shit up?
Well he would keep bothering the hell out of you saying "OMGZ LOL JOO SUK JOO DIDNT ANSWER MY REEPLI!"because you didn't,even though you could.
which would bother the normal newgrounder much.

The way to solve it is this.
assholes,are usually attention whores.
Attention,is their life supply.
If everyone were to hate them,everyone,even if they didnt hate them THAT much,
if everyone,were to just act like they hated them like hell.
here would be some results

every attention whore making fun of people
=LOL NO MORE OF THEM.well atleast i think

every alt attention whore
=well damnit they are alts.what can we do about that?

I hope my idea actually works though.

I'll say a few words: THE INTERNET WAS DIFFERENT BACK THEN, AND IT WAS MORE LIKE SHARING PICS, AND NO SUCH BBSES WERE BACK THEN. The internet was way different 13 years ago.

Even so,your tactics will just make it worse.
My reasoning :
12 year old boy makes an account on ng,posts a few times in the BBS and gets shuned by dicksandwhiches such as yourself.
Confused and angry,he tries to flame back with absolute jibberish that we can't even understand.
If people actually decide to follow you for whatever dumbass reason of their own,it'll just happen over and over again,a completely higher level of annoyance then just innocent talk.
