Journal of Other Forum Analysis (Volume II, Issue 1)

[DavidCroquet]

I've long thought that a surprising amount of the forum could be fixed if you banned like 10-20 constant troublemakers

Death by a thousand cuts, you need a critical mass of knowledgeable and humorous posters (or both, at best) to fill the vacuum that will never come back now that the ideologues and the reactionaries run the show.

I'm no stranger to self-loathing and/or narcissistic moderators and admins, but once these types decided that they were the vanguards of the greater good in all of society, the corrosion was unstoppable. And this is something I realized over two decades ago, time flies...

It sounds devastating but the reality of what we are left with are a group of infantile ignorant types who (I guess) are fun to watch in a horrifying way.

True, there's are so many valuable and fun posters who either got banned or decided to not put up with all that crap anymore

And yet we all found each other here!
