Damn it, what the hell..., honestly... Options

[Uronacid]

What could be done to make this site better. This site is now full of nothing but trolls now. I mean, trolls are fun. You need a few of them, but it's like trying to play Half Life TFC when everyone chooses a sniper class. That's no fun. Everyone can't be a troll or it's just not fun anymore. Everyone ends up joking around 24/7 and there is nothing left to write about, talk about, or read. The forums are becoming a cesspool of bull shit. A crap hole full of internet memes.

While it's funny so see the creative ways that people poke fun or tear each other down, it's just not cool if that's all that's left. We got rid of Suzette, Anna, James, and Kathleen. Honestly, who's left.

Maybe I'm just grumpy. Maybe I'm just rambling on. Whatever... that's what this fucking lounge is for. I don't even read what's said on the forums anymore. I don't find it to be funny, imaginative, new, or engaging. I'm just bored. I see what you guys write, and it's just a big waste of time to post a reply.

Shit, I'm just spewing out all over the place. You could say I'm brain storming. I know something just isn't right here. I can feel it. Maybe I'm not the first one to say it, but this is my input.

[monster]

no posts here yet. :(

[xtwitchyx]

I have fun. I give people all sorts of randomness to read. I still talk about serious things too though. If somebody is looking for advice, I kindly give it. I've also shared a few opinions. Maybe you are just grumpy or impossible to please. Maybe even both.

Crack a smile damnit!

[*icecreamisyummy*]

i think this is just run over by little kids. "how do you kiss?" "have u ever seen a penis"

[Just_Dream]

Eh... I just post things because I'm bored. Oh crap, am I one of the "trolls" you speak of? I don't consider what I've been posting to be trolling, but I can be mean.

Eh... I wouldn't say it's full of internet memes... at least not yet. But it probably will be soon enough. I concur that this website seems to have lost its spark, but I don't have any solutions

- Wait, what happened with Kathleen? No wonder I haven't seen her around since I came back. Damn you trolls and your tall, fluffy hot pink hair!


EDIT - it's just kids in the locker rooms, sometimes in fashion and/or health.

[1angel3]

I agree, I'm getting tired of some of the cb members here. Mostly some of the newer members and some old.

[*jeanna*]

this site isn't inhabited by havard law students so don't expect threads like that.

it's createblog lol

[missnh]

KISS MY ASS!

haha, I really don't see the trolls you're talking about. :/ Unless you're speaking of Tung's fake screenname.

Or they're all so incredibly shitty that none of their posts are even offensive or troll-ish.

[Just_Dream]

^ More like members attempting to be trolls, but failing miserably.

Like how Rico fails.

phail/10.

[arcanum]

Wait, sooo... who exactly are you talking about? Everyone? I don't think I'd consider everyone a troll, or even half the people who post, but that is just me.
btw, its nice to see you back, Josh.

[*Steven*]

Man I'm probly a troll, but whatever :)
I don't go looking for confrontation (much) I only attack people I don't like or I think are stupid/people that have been a dick to me

[*BANANATUNG*]

Uh. I still don't understand what being a troll is. I don't think I was being a troll on getonmylevel. More like being a complete jackass/idiot.

[*Steven*]

That's a troll, cept trolls try to be witty

[arcanum]

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=troll

One who purposely and deliberately (that purpose usually being self-amusement) starts an argument in a manner which attacks others on a forum without in any way listening to the arguments proposed by his or her peers. He will spark of such an argument via the use of ad hominem attacks (i.e. 'you're nothing but a fanboy' is a popular phrase) with no substance or relevence to back them up as well as straw man arguments, which he uses to simply avoid addressing the essence of the issue.

2. A dumbass who makes idiotic posts in message boards newsgroups for the sole purpose of pissing people off, often lacking in intelligence.

[*BANANATUNG*]

LMAO I see. I guess i was being a troll on getonmylevel without even knowing.

[1angel3]

Oh so your getonmylevel, I had an idea it was you.

[Just_Dream]

Oh so your getonmylevel, I had an idea it was you.

O RLY?

I knew because he said "f*ck outta here" on that username and on bananatung, and he's the only one here who says "blah blah blah, get on my level" and such. Look in the money money money thread in interests > fashion, lol.

Oh I hardly look in the interest > fashion forum. It all came together when he used the "Fuck outta here" phrase on his other account and I notice how all of them(all his accounts) was being a complete jackass to me/others for no reason.

[brooklyneast05]

Oh so your getonmylevel, I had an idea it was you.

i knew because everyone on the forums was saying over and over it was...


and because i got a "hey cutie" message
cough

OMG I got one of those too!

I actually felt special for a second, then I looked at the username and went "the f*ck?!" cause I knew it was him, lmao.

[karmakiller]

Too bad we didn't have more awesomely cool people here. But than that would require me to leave... I highly doubt people act like this in real life.

[1angel3]

Yeah after awhile they did but when he first made the account I was a little confused and then elba said that Getonmylevel kid wasn't knew and then I run across a post from BANANATUNG and he use the "Fuck outta here" phrase and I was like OOOOHHHHH. I was still a little confused but half the time I didn't care.

[babecakes]

i know, tung ruins everything :(.

[xtwitchyx]

I'm glad that I am not a troll. I do know one who is in real life though. I feel sorry for anyone who does have a chance to meet him out on the street. Especially girls.

[*BANANATUNG*]

LMAO. I thought you didn't get it JC. I was like damn, did he not get my message. I was sad for a couple days, because you didn't reply.

[brooklyneast05]

lol yeah. i got it but was like "f**k this bitch" and deleted it.
i still don't get the "experiment" though =/

[Insurmountable]

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=troll

lol at #2


I can agree with Josh, this place gets boring from time to time and I just sit back and do the little I can and hope it hits a spark and something awesome happens. It was nice to have createblog deleted in a sense because look how much better it got around here, but now it has died down and its back to the slow createblog. What to do What to do.

[arghrawr]

I think I was absent during this whole getonmylevel business. Or perhaps I don't pay as much attention as I should.

Anyways, people cycle through cB all the time. This is just one of cB's low points you must suffer through. ...What happened to James by the way? I enjoyed his posts.

[arcanum]

Which James? Kryo, or british James?

[Insurmountable]

I hope shes talking about Kryo =X

If so I still see him around, and if your talking about BloodyMaryJames uhh I think he was banned.

[*BANANATUNG*]

lol yeah. i got it but was like "f**k this bitch" and deleted it.

PM for the story.

[*CowerPointyObjects*]

I love James. My James, I mean. And no, he wasn't banned, just left.

[*BANANATUNG*]

Get off his fucken nuts already dipshit.

[Uronacid]

I guess the thing that bothers me the most is in whole thing with people who use the word "fail" or "phail" way to often. I mean, c'mon. You guys are definitely capable of more... I don't even bother reading some of your posts because I know that they will always be the same. This definitively doesn't go for all of you, but the short insults and memes are becoming far to rampant.

Nothing can be done about it. I can't reprimand you for it, and I never will (even if I become a mod). Free speech is free speech, feel free to say what you want, but regardless of how free you are there are still consequences to your actions. This site is going to become ultra-mega boring if it continues.

Recently there have been so many trolls that it has nearly become a waste of time to post or reply to anyone in a topic. You can't have an intelligent conversation without seeing, "phail", "fail", "massive fail", "internet serious business", "1337 5p34k", or "vague replies that imply stupidity for lack of knowledge about a subject that has never been addressed". Communication has gone down the gutter.

The only thing I can do is say it, hope we realize it, and pray that we do something abotu it. So, that's what I'm doing. I guess all I'm saying is... we need to find a medium. While it is funny to throw creative insults, bash, and make weak minded people angry it's still important to let the community know that you're still intelligent. Let's find a middle ground. I just think that we have pushed to far in one direction.

[brooklyneast05]

^ i agree

i think the constant insults about peoples looks, age, grammar, ect, gets old. to me, there's nothing that funny/cool/interesting about telling 14 year old girls they're ugly.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind it if people would introduce a little more variety.

[Just_Dream]

Eh, well I know the "phail" thing is directed towards me, despite me only saying it twice (well, that I remember of). My bad.


Another reason why I'd work out as a mod. (Just saying, that's all).

It's not just you, nor was it directed towards you. Anything that's remotely similar to the word fail is... well... loosing it's touch. It's over used. Picture this. One person saying "fail" ten times, not so bad. Now picture 80 people saying "fail" twice... AGGGHHHH!!!! It's not just directed towards you. It's a group of people, not just one.

[*Steven*]

Haha I believe I've said it a few times as well :)

[monster]

where are the original trolls?

[*BANANATUNG*]

Seon Ho, Podomaht, Kyrogenix,

Edit: Josh just because you are cute, doesn't give you the right to huff and puff. Hmph!

[Uronacid]

I'm not a troll? Lol, well that's nice of you. Maybe you can come over later, sexy. ^^

where are the original trolls?

Podo, I really enjoy the post you have made in the debate section. I had no idea you were religious, and I like getting to know people (that includes you). It makes you look more human when you make posts like that.

[S-Majere]

Actually Uronacid, I think you're too considorate for a troll...

Edit / And yes! The topic Podo made in debate is awesome. View-changing in regards to him.

[arcanum]

No, Josh. You're the next step up. You're a goblin.

[Uronacid]

Actually Uronacid, I think you're too considorate for a troll...

You should have seen me before James left. I could have been... the GREEN GOBLIN!

[arcanum]

You should have seen me before James left. I could have been... the GREEN GOBLIN!

LOL. Well, that worked out well.

[S-Majere]

You should have seen me before James left. I could have been... the GREEN GOBLIN!

XD but you rationalise everything so well - it's hard to argue with some of your finer points because they're so well expressed.

Damn, you've got to stop using RL names - I get so confused?


Who's James?

[arcanum]

James is SayBloodyMary.

[*BANANATUNG*]

I'm not a troll? Lol, well that's nice of you. Maybe you can come over later, sexy. ^^

Well I only came back in August. I guess by the time I came back, you have stopped "trolling". I wasn't here for the James drama ordeal. So my opinion of you from the 2-3 months I been here again, is not a troll.

[*Steven*]

James drama started Sept6~

[*BANANATUNG*]

Really? Well I was more of a CBC person from Aug-Septemberish. And I didn't browse the forums and participate in the community as I do now. Didn't keep up with the drama.

[NoSex]

This is embarrassing. Talk about improving this community is old and, unfortunately, rather futile. And, really, the nexus of the problem is the population itself - our members. We have idiotic, uninteresting, young, naive, and masturbatory members. If we want to see this community evolve and progress (f**k, even just change) we need to encourage a new sort of membership - a more intelligent, capable, and interesting membership (probably older too). But, since this conversation has reduced itself to "lame insults vs. hyphy insults" (in probably the most hypocritical manner imaginable - from Josh's tongue), I'm rather confident in saying there is little hope for this corner of the internet.

Lol, my fingers Nate, not my tongue. You are the extreme opposite of what I'm talking about. Nate, all I'm saying is that I think we have moved to far in one direction. It takes practice to reach a median.

Bro, we know this place sucks - clever insults aren't going to make it any better, no matter how clever they f**king are (not to say a clever insult doesn't provide a grin from time to time, sure, it does). What we really need is revolution - we need to start throwing some Molotov cocktails. If you want my honest appraisal: Debate is seeing a bit of improvement (thanks to Podo, despite his complete incompetence). Clubs have power - in exclusivity (Film snobs and Unholy Trinities). Clubs still have power - even with exclusivity (House and Heroes). Drive-by posting is poison (Rate your day lolz!). And, our lockers are stupid (penis, vagina, penis, vagina, sex). We need to promote more intelligent, personal, and mature conversation on a larger variety of topics - why is the News section such a poverty stricken board?

[missnh]

The lockerrooms have been pathetic for quite a while now.

*sigh*

[Just_Dream]

It's been happening for a while, even when I was still around back last year. There's really no way of fixing it...

[brooklyneast05]

also the locker rooms seem to be full of random people who i've never seen, and then they never come back after that thread

why is the News section such a poverty stricken board?

it seems that reading over a paragraph is hard work for some

[Just_Dream]

SRSLY. Well, there are those kind of people who have like. a 7-second attention span. Worse are the members who only read the topic title. I've seen posts that don't even correspond with the actual TC's post.

[NoSex]

Apparently. It's really unfortunate.
What if we started to give rewards, in some sort of manner, to those who meaningfully contribute to the health of the boards? Something beyond popularity contests? What if someone was able to revive the News boards merely by posting and discussing at least four articles a week or so? I mean, it isn't that hard to brainstorm ways of improvement, it blows my mind this stuff hasn't already happened backstage (unless it has? When I was back there, I didn't see it).

[*Steven*]

I'll start bringing articles I discuss with others to the boards, cant' be that hard.

[hypnotique]
