You could go into my posts, and check the fact, but it's unnecessary. When I first signed up, I was the most oblivious, naive fool you could get, and now I'm as jaded and pessimistic as the rest of you.
But, alas, onto the point of me making this topic. Every year, I hear about how awful that year's users are, and how awesome the previous year's turned out to be. Well fuck off.
People grow up, they move on, that is the nature of this site. If they didn't, they'd be trapped here in perpetual puberty, until they died and left their account to a relative in their will. But as most people here mature, they don't use their new found maturity to improve the quality of their posts, they complain. They complain so much it makes them even worse than the naive fuck they evolved from. They become jaded and bitter, attacking the thing they used to be, apparently oblivious to the how detrimental they, themselves, are to this community.

I still think '07 users are worse than '08 users.

Ironically, I am part of the noob revolution. Least I'm not as closeminded or ignorant as some people who have recently signed up. I wish people thought before they posted, how hard is that?

I know I'm complaining as well. This is terribly ironic. :(

I wish common sense was more common.

I did. I'm not trying to sound like i didn't read it, but im answering something, you were saying how you were a noob, so i said how we all were noobs once.

sorry if it sounded the wrong way.

Also, reading the first line of this topic, and assuming that the entire paragraph after it was the same thing, and posting something somewhat off-topic probably means I'm still a retard.

OH WELL, at least I know I'm not as much of a retard.. I hope

All I can say is, it's a shame that those who do stick around get bitter about the nature of the site. For the most part, those who have been here for a while know how the place runs and could actually do a lot of good around these parts if they weren't so jaded or apathetic.

It's hard not to become bitter. I don't know how you keep your sanity with the very small percentage of the userbase who actually contribute something positive to the BBS. Maybe it's the 6 months or so I have on you.

Well, either that or posters (people who post) really are getting worse each year, in which case, General is fucked.

But it's probably what you said, with the "evolving" and all.
I hear that when you become an adult, you get angry at the younger people because you can't remember what you were like back then. Maybe the same thing here?

Everybody was a noob, we have to realize that shit.
When 09 strikes, the 09 users are going to be idiots, complete idiots, but thew 08ers will have adapted to how we are here at Newgrounds, and become more like us.
It's pretty much like hanging out with the same group of people a lot, you start to become like them.
I was a total fucking fool when I first got here on my old account and now, I am pretty much just like the rest of you.

Yes, I checked my first posts. I was an idiot!

But the way for NG to completely "evolve" is by more mature people to stay against n00bs coming in.

I'd say it's because they do remember what they were like. Most people can't bear to look back at their old posts, never mind have a constant re-enactment of themselves in the form of some other new user.

Before I became a mod it was starting to go that way. I know the feeling of seeing idiots on the BBS and not really being able to do anything about it other than PM'ing a mod (although, I'm aware some people loathe to do that because of the stigma of being a 'snitch' or whatever).

Being made a mod helped, because now I can actually do something if I see a user being an idiot. Other than that, you just have to block it out I suppose. Maybe post in forums like C&C, where you're more likely to encounter like-minded people.

It's a part of human nature. First you enjoy the good sides of it, then you start noticing the bad stuff, and lastly you end up complaining all the time about it.
