Just here to troll, nothing more.

I've been around this forum for a long, long time. (obviously been way too long)Yeah, but I've been MIA for a little while. Hey viruses, hey 504, hey pusa 404..
So, I realized earlier that I couldn't see any of my old posts anymore, which was already pretty annoying. But then today I actually noticed there isn't even a search bar on this site... like, seriously? What the hell?
I don't hang out on the other forums that much, but I can't help feeling like they don't even exist. Not a single one. No fake stuff. Search engines.!!!

You guys completely trashed this forum. Honestly, whoever is running the show or pretending to "care" about this place should just post their CS degree from MIT and call it a day. Better yet, just stop acting like you ever actually worked on a site like this before.

You guys completely trashed this forum. Admin after admin, one after another. Every single one of you left your mark here, and let me tell you, that mark was mostly just a total lack of respect for the users. I didn't check the IRS today, but man, I still remember that one legendary... Not much we can do about it on our end. We already flagged it for the maintenance crew.I'm pretty sure you are, but honestly? I also think you couldn't care less. It’s not like your job is actually to give a damn—you're just there to push papers and handle the admin side of things.😁Yeah, look, sometimes you gotta keep a level head. I get that. But is being a total jerk really the only way to show everyone how chill and collected you actually are?

You guys completely trashed this forum. Seriously, everyone who voted for moderators based on who they grab a beer with rather than actual expertise—well, congrats, you really nailed it (with a few exceptions, I guess). You’ve let the file organization get so godawful that honestly, it’d be better if we didn't even have a search function, just so people couldn't find how bad the posts have become. markax17 Who actually posted back in June 2012? It’s like saying "the CEO is the company." It's just how things work there..

You guys totally trashed this forum.

You guys totally trashed this forum. You’ve spent the whole time just throwing distractions at us to keep everyone focused on absolute nonsense. Whoa, look at that. New emojis. Finally. So here we go. We're gonna spend the next three months arguing about how much extra cash we're throwing at this, acting like there’s some kind of ceiling on it. Honestly, if we keep dropping emojis like this, an angel is gonna lose its wings for every single one of them.

You guys really messed up this forum the second you let some of our best regulars walk out the door. It’s honestly pathetic. Some people didn't even just leave on their own—they were practically chased out. One minute you're getting banned here, the next you're getting banned there. Total mess. Let's just ride this out for a month. Maybe he'll finally lose his nerve and stop posting, but let's be real—we all know he’s still lurking and reading everything. Poor guy.
This forum is basically like a church.😛It all comes down to the people hanging out here. Honestly, the whole vibe of this forum just follows whoever shows up. I mean, what’s the point of having a million registered clones and trolls cluttering up the feed when you could just have 1,000 actual users having decent, normal conversations? Quality over quantity, always.

You guys completely trashed this forum.

You guys totally trashed this forum the second you started censoring anything "inconvenient" while letting everyone else bark away. You ruined the whole vibe once people with a different opinion—according to you, anyway—suddenly became public enemy number one.
You guys really screwed the pooch right when it became obvious. Like, once everyone could see exactly whose posts were getting nuked and whose garbage was being left untouched. That’s when you started calling people who wrap absolute filth in pretty little bows "just slightly uncomfortable, but not offensive." Then you turned a straight-up "screw you" into some 500-point technicality. Typical.

Sometimes I wonder if they should've taken that money and dumped it into some high-tech sensor instead of hiring more IT Solutions Inc. staff. You know, like a detector that starts screaming the second some troublemaker on this forum opens a specific PDF. It’d be just like being in the middle of a conversation in the States and dropping the word "bomb"—suddenly half the FBI is scrambling to their feet.

You guys really trashed this forum.

You guys totally trashed this forum the second you started letting people cherry-pick subforums just to cover up the fact that the mods don't have a clue what they're doing. You let everyone see exactly which moderators we're dealing with, even though those guys would basically be nothing without their precious little titles. But hey, I guess that's just how it goes.Just out here doing some volunteer work.And it's just not there.Prestige. It’s funny how much people obsess over it. Everyone wants to look like they've made it, always chasing that next level of status, but honestly? Most of it's just smoke and mirrors. You see it all the time—people working themselves into an early grave just to afford a zip code they're too busy to actually live in. It’s a trap. Real success doesn't usually come with a loud announcement or a flashy logo. It’s quieter than that.And everyone's just... yeah. Everyone.Equal rights.Everything’s chill, we’re all good, and out there, six different paths are just crossing over like some weird pattern on a Reddit thread.

You guys really messed up this forum.

You guys really messed up this forum the second you stopped letting people post about what they actually want to talk about regarding the IRS. It’s like, we’re here for a reason, right? Now everything feels off.Just trolling.Calling this trolling based on your own standards is just a joke, especially since you're talking about yourselves. It’s out of line because it’s actually describing how things really are—it's just that the truth is ugly enough that you don't want some random person stumbling onto it. You guys basically broke this forum the second you started grouping everything together and handing out 500 points like they were pieces of candy at a kid's birthday party. (sugar and gluten free, ofc 😳). People should actually be allowed to have an opinion. Posts should serve a purpose instead of being used as weapons by certain mods to suit their own agendas. Freedom of speech? Yeah, right.
The forum went downhill the second you guys started hand-picking what fits your narrative and what doesn't. It all fell apart when brown-nosing started getting tallied up as "points" to impress the moderation team. Look, isn't just prestige, it’s all volunteer work. But then any bit of criticism toward the mods started being treated like an attack on some sacred institution of moderator divinity. Suddenly, it was a full-blown crusade against anyone who refused to shut up just because their take was deemed too "controversial".

It's funny how we're all taught that making mistakes is part of being human, yet half these people would rather die than admit they messed up. Who actually makes a mistake and owns it? Not here. That's apparently impossible.
It's not our fault, he's just trolling and lying—even if he uses info leaked from DMs or stuff grabbed from the mod lounge. So let's just threaten him with a partial ban or a month-long suspension, and if that doesn't work, we can always just hit the permanent ban button. I mean, what's he gonna tell us, that markax17 actually wrote back in June 2012 that the Lakers were 😠trash.

The forum was doomed the moment users reached a breaking point where they actually had to ask for moderation. We had to come here and collectively explain why we even wanted this site moderated. We literally had to sit there and justify why we wanted things to be damn well moderated. Half those debates would've ended with a mountain of deleted posts and a good chunk of users banned. Then, the ones who were "extra annoying" suddenly started getting censored way more often than usual. I guess they just became too "uncomfortable" while posting in threads like "what shows did you watch today". I gotta admit, even for me, "Dexter" is a pretty lame pick, so that ban was totally deserved.

Welcome to the forum. It’s that special place where a single PDF file somehow requires seven different moderators, though honestly, there's a pretty good chance most of them haven't even logged on in ages.
You guys really messed up this forum when you let the admin go MIA for months on end, all while covering for his absence with nothing but transparent lies. He’s definitely reading. He just doesn't say anything. I'm one hundred percent sure. His mom actually sent me a photo of him sitting there at his laptop with this forum pulled up, holding today's newspaper in his hand.It looks like you might have cut off your message mid-sentence. I can't rewrite anything if the thought isn't finished! Toss the full text my way whenever you're ready, and I'll get to work on it. Oh man, here we go. This is bad.They actually had the nerve to point out just how transparent it all is. So you’re actually trying to tell me his mom is lying?! Seriously?!!So, they were basically just scrubbing everything and "appropriately" deleting posts in bulk. Honestly, if you want to end up banned on this forum, just keep doing that—especially when they always throw in some pathetic excuse about why they had to do it. It’s basically like being stacked up against a bunch of total losers..

Honestly, you guys really messed up this forum once you started playing gatekeeper with who we can and can't talk about. Look, if you just wanted to ban discussions about specific people entirely, that might actually work. But no, you decided to go after anything "negative," which is just... yeah. What do you guys think? Totally inappropriate. Praising them, sucking up, playing the part? Sure, why not. 👍Honestly, this guy is just a total drag. Like, zero personality, nothing interesting to say—just a complete bore. And if I’m being totally real? He low-key smells like he hasn't seen a bar of soap in a week. It's kind of awkward. 🙂
Everything’s become an insult lately. Honestly, half the stuff people call offensive isn't even offensive—it just depends on who's sitting behind the keyboard. Take Brandon Lopez6, for example. Someone’s probably gonna go digging right now, trying to find some obscure reason to prove he doesn't belong on this forum. Maybe it's because he started writing in the third person, or maybe it's just because he's actually posting at all.

You guys completely trashed this forum. I’m not even expecting an apology—I know you won't give one—and honestly, I don't really care. But let's be real: you know you messed up, I know you messed up, and I'm pretty sure a good chunk of the old-school regulars know you messed up too.
Remember those old message boards? Like the ones we used to hang out on back in the day?
Wait, I thought people were talking about sex over there and posting those hilarious memes? Man, that’s just savage. Seriously.
Yeah, so I got banned yesterday. Apparently, posting a photo where you can see like a third of a woman's left breast—while she’s rocking those open-toed sandals—is where they draw the line. Thank God it's only a six-month suspension, though. Could've been way worse.

It’s been nice hanging out here, honestly. It just feels good to actually vent and share stuff with people who live in the same country. You can't even begin to explain that kind of heartbreak to an American. Like, when the Lakers and the Bulls finally called it quits? You just can't put a finger on it. 🙂).
There was a point where posting here actually felt decent, but lately, things have just been getting uncomfortable. People started testing the waters, pushing boundaries, and before you know it, everyone’s catching bans left and right. And half the time, those bans are totally unjustified. Once you move the goalposts like this, there’s no going back—especially when it feels more like oppression than moderation. The logic they push is basically: "If someone insults you, don't fight back, just report them and let the mods handle it." Yeah, okay. So you sit around waiting two weeks for a moderator to even show up, and then you finally decide to take it to the IRS forums, only to get slapped with a ban yourself because apparently you were "trolling." At this rate, the most likely outcome is that all these unfair bans just stay on your record forever without any way to appeal them. *cough cough* unless that’s cool with the mods *cough cough*.
Maybe we could just say that even the mods have a life outside of this mess. That’s how it goes, I guess. Volunteering...Look, I don't know... honestly, does it even matter if the mods aren't around? Like, if they're too busy to jump in, it shouldn't really change anything, right? 🕺 I mean, I could just walk away from this whole thing... 🕺 So, when exactly are they planning on getting back to it, once they actually find some free time? 🕺

Honestly, I’m just not feeling this forum right now. Nothing's really clicking for me.homegrownNot even on a single PDF. Not once you finally make it.localThen you just peel back that whole "witty, high-achieving professional" facade, and you realize the entire thing is just a bunch of nonsense underneath. Once you finally become...localYou’ll be seeing a certain amount of that pretty soon, too.role". They toss you into some little box they've made up, then they're riding your high one day, loving you the next, and then suddenly they're editing your posts because you dropped a 🥳. I mean, fair enough, this is basically middle school, and God forbid you type a swear word 😲. 🙂.

Sell the domain. Wipe the archives. Burn the server down. Just do something.
"Why fix what isn't broken?" is a valid question, but what I really want to know is why you guys won't fix something that is clearly held together by nothing but prayers and duct tape?

*** disclaimer - all examples are made up. I'm not targeting any specific "blue" forum regulars, and most of the jabs at the admins and mods are just products of my imagination. Relax, markax17 didn't claim back in June 2012 that the Dallas Cowboys were rigged.

Way to go, Brandon Lopez6. That was a great take on this declining forum.

A signature feels just like home...

I’m signing off on this. I agree with every single word.
All those bans, warnings, and whatever other nonsense these so-called admins and moderators hand out? It just proves how incompetent they are. They can't hold their own in an actual debate to save their lives.
Instead, they play it cowardly. If someone posts a comment they don't like, they just slap them with a penalty. It’s clearly just a way to feed their massive egos, which honestly stretch from here to the edge of the galaxy.
It really shows how small-minded and insignificant they actually are. They only care about themselves. You need to have some backbone and actual character to lead, but they don't have an ounce of either. They just suffocate anyone who actually has something worth saying, drowning them out until people eventually just give up and leave. Is that really what a forum is supposed to be?
A forum is meant for DISCUSSION. It’s not a playground for a few little dictators to vent their frustrations. It should be a place where free speech exists. Given how these power-tripping mods act, it’s a miracle they aren't filing lawsuits for verbal offenses or shipping everyone who speaks their mind off to Key West.
Honestly... your style is incredibly backward.

A... I mean, when someone gets banned just for telling someone else to "get lost, you primitive hillbilly," it’s usually because the moderators can't actually handle the debate. Point taken, though...
Go ahead and vent somewhere else. It's a beautiful day out. If this forum feels that toxic, there are much better ways to spend your time than hanging out on a place this unpleasant. If you have a legitimate grievance, check the guidelines in this PDF for how to start an official thread...

Thanks.
