I say we opt for chemotherapy. Those herbal pills are still just in testing and I don't trust them yet.

Just to let you know, you're not really killing cB. I do still respect you in a way even though you push the boundary a bit too far and continue to do so. If you're going to bitch, i care less about that too. _smile.gif Good luck, man.

Funny how your votes are higher than the mods.

If cancer is indeed killing cB, you're the virus that can transform into a cancerous cell.

And if the quality of being on cB is decreasing, it's a combination of the staff and members.

Stop giving yourself so much credit. =]

And fourteen-year-old girls are not ruining cB, thanks. Although I'm almost fifteen now, so they could be, since I don't associate myself with them anymore. *feels important, in a sarcastic "not really" kind of way*

Whatever. We're all killing cB. That's my answer.

it's a combo of the staff and members.

all of this..child bullshit is dumb. all of these bashing topics and shizz like that is just retarded.
and many will say that they prolly liked the forums better when the moderators were strict but fun...but in my opinion, i'd rather have mods that are bitches 24/7 and keep things in order rather than how i'm seeing things in the community forums.

and i feel like i'm seeing the same mods over and over again...where ar ethe others?

I agree. I've only been seeing Robbi and Diana in the forums. Where are the other mods? Two days ago, there were ten topics made solely to bash one member.. and all they get is a simple warning?

That was a tough decision to make because they were not verbally warned during it (to our knowledge; it wasn't recorded) and they were also being encouraged by mods. No one had ever said "Stop". I think that punishment was fair.

Yeah it might be a combination, but it's not solely because of bashing. Some people act incredibly stupid and presumptuous, and they need to be told how stupid they're acting. If not they assume people think they're funny or that it's okay to make those assumptions and they keep doing it. It's not Kryo that's responsible for this. It's dumb people but we have to "be nice" because this is a PG-13 forum and we can't hurt their feelings.

I don't see a problem with member bashing, as long as it's not too excessive and everyone doesn't jump on the bandwagon and bash the entire thread(unless, of course, it is just that dumb). Plus, if you're going to bash people, at least make it clever/witty/funny. Someone (in a debate) once tried to bash me by making the assumption that my mother had had several abortions, and that she slept around. That's stupid member bashing. At least make it as truthful as you can.

And yes, some mods are too strict, some can be argued that they aren't strict enough, but I don't see a mod's position as a mommy or daddy. They have real moms and dad (most of the time) for that, and if they're not getting through to them, what makes you think you're going to. I think mods/staff should keep the forums organized etc, and provide help when help is needed. I know excessive bashing can be bad, and I see it fine to step in there. The majority of this forum is teenagers/young adults, so to expect everything to happen in an orderly manner with no bashing is quite ridiculous. We should make a forum for people who get easily offended, and one for people who can speak their mind. The goody goodies can go to the easily offended place, and others can go to the "speak your mind" place and speak their mind.

Man I'm rambling.

Wait were you talking to me? Where did I mention 14 year olds in that post x. x I know I mentioned it in a previous one but don't see it in there *Shrug*

I meant to add, or maybe I added to a diff, that the 14 year olds that come here and don't get offended are usually chill and cool. The ones that come here all defensive-like about their age or get offended at all the little things are the annoying nuisances.

So they can't have a little fun either? They weren't encouraging anything. They even said that they don't support/condone it. Loosen up a little, times are changing, it's not the 50's anymore.

Kryo just wants attentiooooon.

That's all it is. He's a huge attention whore, and he strives for it. It's his life. And we're just dishing it out by voting for him on the poll and replying to his topics and all this stuff he wants us to do.

Congrats, Kryo, you're well-known on the internet. There's a real accomplishment.

But no one thing is "killing" cB.

It's a team effort.

Remember everyone, there's no I in team.

But there is a "me" if you rearrange the letters.

Socially, people were way uptight. Girls dressing the way they do nowadays would be shot, homosexuality (while still today but to a lesser extent) was incredibly shunned, racism wasn't wrong, etc etc. By saying things are changing, I'm saying that people are way less strict regarding behavior and speaking out and voicing their opinions.

There's an I in "I'M SO FULL OF SHIT THAT MAYBE JUST MAYBE IF I KEEP SPOUTING IT OUT PEOPLE WILL BELIEVE ME AND HATE KRYO MORE." In fact there are a bunch of Is.

It's funny what I get accused of. Jealousy, attention whoring, power hungry. They seem to forget that I voluntarily left the staff. Not once, but twice. They seem to forget that if damaging the forum was what I wanted to do, I could have abused my mod position moreso than the current mods are doing.

I make up my opinions from facts and reasoning, and not to suit anybody but myself. If people don't like my opinions, it makes little difference as I don't solicit their opinions or votes.

I don't think anything ON cB is killing it. I think it is what it lacks that is doing that. It simply doesn't have what it used to, which is a close-knit group of people who didn't HAVE to resort to childish little bashing, or trolling, or pathetic signatures to have fun on cB, because they actually got to know each other, were intelligent, witty, and generally NOT out to 'win' at the game of cB.

Seriously. EVERYTHING is just a battle here. I can't remember the last time I really enjoyed posting in a thread around here, simply because checking in with Feedback/Backstage/Whatever grief has cropped up in the Lounge that by the time I'm finished with that, I have to go do something else.

I'm the first to admit that I LOVED cB drama. Because it is a way just to chill out, over-act, and just blow of steem. But the thing is, we haven't had any cB DRAMA in ages. We've had genuine cB fighting. Everyone is so concerned that they MUST look intelligent, but MUST not appear to care too much, and MUST be witty, and MUST be a good mod, and MUST jump on the 'mods are nazis' bandwagon, and MUST provoke something that no one does anything that they WANT to do anymore, like go to Debate, or discuss entertainment.

I think the reason people don't like cB anymore isn't because it has turned into a group of over-hormoned angst bunnies bitch at one another over trivial things. Rather, it has turned into this BECAUSE people don't like cB. And these things aren't even trivial in the sense that it's 'just the internet' (which, while I'm on the subject, is a really, really stupid argument on so many levels), but rather that it is trivial WITHING the internet. If you got a bit of a bitchy warning, DEAL. do what everyone else used to do: ignore it, and just chill. There is no need to make a scene, because all it does is perpetuate the problem. Likewise, if you think someone is deliberately stirring stuff, ignore it! People will realize that in their own time that whoever it is is a dull dimwit, and move on. EVERYTHING doesn't have to be the next battle in whatever the war of the day happens to be.

cB is suffering from a lack of real members, as opposed to brash, larger-than-life-and-twice-as-full-of-it cariacatures of members. The people who made cB great have either left, are lurking on the verge of leaving because of the ones who remain, or are hanging around acting like pricks, and trying to justify this by looking for someone to blame for their own asisnine behaviour.

The reason cB is dying (although I would like to believe that it isn't terminal) isn't because it is full of bullshit, but rather because it ISN'T full of fun, good-humour, and wit.

cB isn't dying from cancer, it's dying from oxygen deprivation.

No. That would be a prime example of perpetuating everything I think is an issue with cB. It won't be fixed by accusations or petty mud-slinging. It will be fixed when people get their heads together, and enjoy cB, rather than playing it.

I null-voted in the poll.

I don't want to 'fix' cB, I want it to heal itself as a broader unit, and I think the quickest way for that to happen is for people for stop trying to fix individual parts of it, be it mods, members, the Locker Rooms, the design standards, or whatever.

I don't think anything ON cB is killing it. I think it is what it lacks that is doing that. It simply doesn't have what it used to, which is a close-knit group of people who didn't HAVE to resort to childish little bashing, or trolling, or pathetic signatures to have fun on cB, because they actually got to know each other, were intelligent, witty, and generally NOT out to 'win' at the game of cB.

Seriously. EVERYTHING is just a battle here. I can't remember the last time I really enjoyed posting in a thread around here, simply because checking in with Feedback/Backstage/Whatever grief has cropped up in the Lounge that by the time I'm finished with that, I have to go do something else.

I'm the first to admit that I LOVED cB drama. Because it is a way just to chill out, over-act, and just blow of steem. But the thing is, we haven't had any cB DRAMA in ages. We've had genuine cB fighting. Everyone is so concerned that they MUST look intelligent, but MUST not appear to care too much, and MUST be witty, and MUST be a good mod, and MUST jump on the 'mods are nazis' bandwagon, and MUST provoke something that no one does anything that they WANT to do anymore, like go to Debate, or discuss entertainment.

I think the reason people don't like cB anymore isn't because it has turned into a group of over-hormoned angst bunnies bitch at one another over trivial things. Rather, it has turned into this BECAUSE people don't like cB. And these things aren't even trivial in the sense that it's 'just the internet' (which, while I'm on the subject, is a really, really stupid argument on so many levels), but rather that it is trivial WITHING the internet. If you got a bit of a bitchy warning, DEAL. do what everyone else used to do: ignore it, and just chill. There is no need to make a scene, because all it does is perpetuate the problem. Likewise, if you think someone is deliberately stirring stuff, ignore it! People will realize that in their own time that whoever it is is a dull dimwit, and move on. EVERYTHING doesn't have to be the next battle in whatever the war of the day happens to be.

cB is suffering from a lack of real members, as opposed to brash, larger-than-life-and-twice-as-full-of-it cariacatures of members. The people who made cB great have either left, are lurking on the verge of leaving because of the ones who remain, or are hanging around acting like pricks, and trying to justify this by looking for someone to blame for their own asisnine behaviour.

The reason cB is dying (although I would like to believe that it isn't terminal) isn't because it is full of bullshit, but rather because it ISN'T full of fun, good-humour, and wit.

cB isn't dying from cancer, it's dying from oxygen deprivation.



Wow.

Probably the most thought-out explanation I've read; it makes the most sense, and it speaks all the thoughts that were swarming around my mind confused.


I agree.

I don't see a problem with member bashing, as long as it's not too excessive and everyone doesn't jump on the bandwagon and bash the entire thread(unless, of course, it is just that dumb). Plus, if you're going to bash people, at least make it clever/witty/funny. Someone (in a debate) once tried to bash me by making the assumption that my mother had had several abortions, and that she slept around. That's stupid member bashing. At least make it as truthful as you can.
Who's to decide what excessive and what's not? And really - clever, witty, funny? There is never a definite line to answer those questions. Sure, there are going to be ones that are obviously on one side, but the majority of member bashing can be either way.

The ban was lifted. It takes 24 hours. If he didn't log on for the entire day, then chances are he missed the entire length of it. That's all.

It has been specifically stated that Robbi warned you for the length of time she stated, and then an Admin made the decision to undo it. Why is that confusing to you?

There's an I in "I'M SO FULL OF SHIT THAT MAYBE JUST MAYBE IF I KEEP SPOUTING IT OUT PEOPLE WILL BELIEVE ME AND HATE KRYO MORE." In fact there are a bunch of Is.

It's funny what I get accused of. Jealousy, attention whoring, power hungry. They seem to forget that I voluntarily left the staff. Not once, but twice. They seem to forget that if damaging the forum was what I wanted to do, I could have abused my mod position moreso than the current mods are doing.



Whoa there, cheif, take a step back.

Uh because she sent me a PM saying "pwned" and that was the end of that.

Then today I check the forums, and she's claiming she banned me. Which I didn't witness... nor experienced being banned. So yeah it was confusing when someone's like, "yeah I banned him for 2098409238402 days" and I'm like wtf is this kid talkin about, I'm able to log in and make posts.

I didn't know of it being lifted... that's why it was confusing. I thought people get banned from forums for at least days at a time... but whatever, I don't care. I'm over it and moving on.

And then you ban/disable postings/people for making posts with personal attacks... yet you won't warn this buffoon that I quoted.

So for now on, when I get shitted on, and they don't get warned for it, I'm gonna shit on them with the same exact wording they used. Because it's all fair game, unless we have some discrimination going on here? Is that what's goin on here?

Like the fact I came across a thread in which some racist a-hole was posting non stop "SPIC"

I'm Hispanic, I find that f**kin disrespectful.

How would you people like it if I called you gooks, kikes, and white trash?
