I don't think its necessarily attracting a different sort of person. I think the general interests of people when they sign up is far different than it was when we signed up back in the day. The times, they are a changin'.

I'd imagine you would've liked it about 2 years ago, when I started. Or perhaps about 1-and-a-half years ago.

Dude, the old BBS sucked so much donkey ass I wouldn't even post in it. General's only recently even been worth posting in. All this nostalgia stuff is fucking bullshit. The BBS is better now than it's ever been, but since whining and bitching is fashiionable these days, we get a bunch of bitchy threads like this.

I started using the BBS around then, till I realized I was a stupid n00b. So I bid my time till I matured enough for the ranks of BBS. And what happens upon my glorious return.

WICKED P3N0RS EVERYWHERE.

they shoudnt leave. they are the4 fathers of this fine establishment

How can it be ours fault when it's others?

I, also, think we need more Ron.

But since I'm not a "vet", my opinion does not count.

The only thing I hate about the BBS is how people bitch about how people should use the search bar.

The search bar is complete crap. Instead of searching for what you want as one search term it brings up topics the contain only one of the words. That result is at least 100 pages of shit to go through. Which nobody wants to go through unless they have no life.

The n00bs of today, are the regulars and mods of tommorow.

Hell, I could be a mod someday.

Probably not, but its worth dreaming...

If you are mad at all of the n00bs, just ignore them. When they notice their own attention whoring, they'll stop it and go away, come back, and start posting things like a semi-normal human being.

Seeing as the internet is not really meant for such things as "normality."

Take a break every so often and go play a video game, ride a bike, hang out with your real friends. The internets will be here when you get back.

It doesn't change the fact that the BBS is getting fagged up by n00bs, who we have no controll over. Therefore > not our fault.

Oh shit this post made me laugh sooo fucking hard . . . agh shit im still laughing . . . hahahaha

NG really was a ton of fun back in 03 when i signed up, now I only check general and flash like every other day and deposit just as often.
General used to be topics worth reading - now its just degenerate crap
Flash used to be insightful and helpful to read, now its "How do I tween" and "Join my collab plz"
Politics used to be a place where you could have an intelligent conversation, now its just "lol bush suxxors" "no ur wrong fag, bush rules"

Wi/HT never really interested me and C&C always was kinda a mess.

I don't know if i just outgrew the site, or the site outgrew me, or what.

Most of the flash back then didn't have as much visual flare, and it really seemed to be pioneering back then, and was just more clever than the stuff today.

back then too, the site was still finding its identity, stuff Legendary Frog put out was fresh and new, everyone loved him - IWP was considered a popular artist who didn't have a fanbase to rely on.

now an artist can bank on his fame to submit a pile of crap and have it pass, and even win awards just because they had a few good movies, with a ton of 13 year olds insisting the movies funny.

Basically I've lost interest in the BBS, the portal is an endless stream of sitcks and "my first flashes" and its probably unlikely i'll make another flash someday, because all the fun is pretty much gone. I can't compete with some of the talent some people have and the fanbase others have as well.

Newgrounds is succulent, seductive, and arouses your desire.

Hasn't it always been like this? General is well... too general. If the admins felt like getting the whining out of general, then they'd create a new BBS forum called "Emo whining/bitching" or something. Wouldn't that be cool? I sure think so.

That sounds like a good idea Kaabi and if it ever happens I'd make an effort to contribute to the current conversation. Two questions though. Where would this lounge be located and what would stop the newbs from posting there?

Most of you probably won't listen to me because I'm as far as you know a n00b, but here's what I wnt to say. I'm 14, I dont try to pretend to be older. I think that what is happening with the BBS is somthink that inevitably happens to sites as they become more popular. As more people register and post the lowest common denominator goes lower, and lower. So, posts become, on average, stupider and stupider. I think that you should try to ignore the morons who seem to think thier cool by ruining others experiences on the boards, and try to find the threads that intrest you and hold on dearly.

Remember you too were n00bs once.

Oh yeah, I've been at newgrounds for a lot longer than my sign up date.

The more, the stupider.
That's true.

Oh.. Alright I'll leave.

But only because you said so...

I love the BBS no matter how...whatever it is
