I'm sorry to say this, but..... Options

What the hell has happened to this place? It has gotten to be really boring around here as of late. Now I know that as a mod, I am not supposed to say that, but it is honestly how I feel.
Some of you people need to leave cb, as it has turned into consuming your lives, and you are starting to look petty and childish at the minimum.

If you notice, the same bullshit topics are getting bumped left and right, and everything in cb seems to be going in one big circle. There are only so many times when you can honestly say that it is slow because of summer. Hell, I have more interesting convos and discussions on cbc than I do in cb. As a matter of fact, cbc is way more active than cb is.

My point is this, we have got to start changing things up in the form of new topics, people, and what not. This place really could use a stiff kicking in the ass. I remember when I first joined back in November, I would post like 100 times a day....Now I am lucky if I post 6 or 7 times a day.

COME ON PEOPLE! WAKE UP AND LET'S START MAKING THIS PLACE HAPPENING AGAIN!

I just mentioned this backstage, but my internet is down at home (f**king Comcast) so this is the first time I'm seeing this thread.

I need to read through all the pages carefully, but I have skimmed through some of the responses.

Something Trish and I used to talk about (and Dani as well, if memory serves) is that admins here have halfassed privileges. It's not that we are not capable and it's not that we don't WANT to make changes, it's that we do not have access to make those changes. You guys think it's frustrating? Try being among the few responsible for implementing changes when not given the resources to do anything about it. It is my biggest frustration here, beyond general community issues.

Javonn, there is NOTHING wrong with you posting this thread. If anything, it gets people communicating. I honestly don't give a shit if people rant. f**king rant. I'd rather that in a thread like this than the sprinkling of "cB sucks" all over the damn place. That shit does no good. At least here, people can make an attempt to come together and do something about it.

I've been getting some shit about getting in touch with Jusun (oh no, backstage information!). I tried texting him on the number I saw and it bounced right back. I don't like calling people at their home (if that is indeed his home number), but if that's what it has to come to, so be it.

Regarding seasoned members versus newbs. Newbs, wake up. Don't be afraid of the forumdickery that happens here. It's the goddamn internet. If you seriously let people bully you on a forum, you're f**ked in real life. Seasoned members, stop being such assholes all the time. It's OK to be nice sometimes.

(I'll read/respond more as soon as I get a chance)
