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

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.

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.
