I don't actually plan on posting here anymore; I laid all my reasons out in that thread if anyone's curious.
It’s been real! Wishing nothing but the best to Goldie, Constantinopol, Cod2, Pasha, Henry, and sde-spot.
For everyone else, check your inbox—I left a little message waiting for you in the banned section.
peace😉
Look, it's your call. But like Henry said, your reasons are pretty weak...
See, I’ve been hanging around this site for years, since like 2001 or 2002 (maybe too long, honestly, and I've never even been banned 😁). Back before this "new" version of the forum existed. From all that time spent here, I can tell you one thing—this is easily one of the best, if not *the* best, communities in the country. It's definitely one of the most tolerant spots out there. Trolls and agitators come and go, always. Discussion quality fluctuates too, depending on how many idiots are flooding the gates, but I doubt you'll find anything like what we have here anywhere else.
It feels like you’re looking at the whole site through a "politics" lens, or even worse, through the lens of that "ex-America" subforum. Yeah, that specific section has turned into a total dumpster fire lately, basically a magnet for trolls and provocateurs, but that doesn't mean it'll stay like that forever 😉. It's on the mods to clean that mess up. I'm sure they'll try to fix it if they can. 🤷
Besides, there are tons of other sections where people actually have real, intelligent conversations and stuff worth reading. I get it, though. You get burned out from reading the same empty, mindless crap every single day. I've taken breaks myself more than once (aka: avoiding the trolls), but that shouldn't be a reason to quit this place for good.
So, if this isn't your final goodbye, I'd suggest reading the first sentence of my sig and trying to live by it... trust me, it helps. 😉
If not, then peace and take it easy. 👍
