LA, serious question: Were you around when GBS was actually good? It turned into a steaming pile quite a while ago and it honestly seemed like the mods at the time pretty much allowed it to become FYAD lite in a real hurry for some unknown reason. In fact about that time was when it had a weird background suddenly (trout?) and for a short period, much like BYOB/FYAD do.

I am all for GBS becoming decent again, but the staff really gets the bulk of the blame for effectively tossing the reins up in the air and willingly allowing no holds barred for too long.

It's awesome how posters like this have been posting their opinions about the GBS changes for 3 years and are still trying to get it back to 1.0 here's to 3 more years

I cannot believe someone is seriously using the phrase "no holds barred" when talking about a forum on a website.

Nope, that sure leads to something that might be illegal? I don't know how UK functions.

Oh brother - I will look into this today. There were also some weird porn ads as well. To think people actually spend money on buying these is bizarre.

Lady Ambiem, will you ever reveal which fat squirrel won on memorial's day?

The one I call Bitey. Our lab mix loving hates him. I have let her chase him around the yard on numerous occasions, but only because she's too fat to catch him. Must have something to do with the diapers, and soothers, and baby bottles she's been eating. Also maybe the 1/2 dessert pizza she stole off of Rich's work desk.

They bought a bunch of ads which made others not buy ads because why would you buy an ad when it's indistinguishable from the aggro-gator ads no one clicks

I've noticed recently that sometimes in GBS I read a thread or a post in the thread and I smile or chuckle which has never happened before so please permaban all these people making "jokes" because I don't come here to laugh. I come here to express my outrage at various things and call for change without ever actually leaving my room and doing anything.

Also please ban anyone responding to these jokes in the affirmative (whether it be by expressing their amusement, or even worse, posting a follow up joke)

It's very triggering to me

I dont think you were around for GBS 1.0

I will say that there needed to be a change.

The Photoshop threads stopped cause mods would walk in and say "No this isnt funny" and shut it down.

We'd have a munch of mega threads and basically news stories. Some threads that did well would disappear off to a dedicated sub forum. like post your favorite or E/N.

I will repeat myself how darkpriest has been here since the beginning and many a time had the A/T of being a pornographer, his last attempt at a thread got poo poo up pretty badly.

I also remember a cute thread about a goon befriending his neighbor GHOST PIMP and when he came back for some updates that thread also got poo poo up cause "pimps are bad"

Some of the earliest threads I remember in enjoying back in 03 were the goons who built a flame thrower out of plastic pipe. ( even had a giff of it as his avatar)

Another good had some tree called a princess tree grow up over night so big it made his house look small. Lots of jack and the bean stalk jokes.

The issue with this place in my opinion has always been signal to noise, in theory you can break the rules but it has to be funny, though I have no idea how to test that rule.

GHOST PIMP was one of the best threads ever made. I don't remember it getting poo poo up but I remember it being on par with Judo Hobo for sure.

Neighbor #1 (the lovely loud white trash one) ended up getting evicted in April for unknown reasons. There were so many good ones it's hard to pick.



His house was so full of trash that the moving company had to literally move all his poo poo through the window on the side of the house to get him out of there. The front porch was a lot of white trash stuff. After he was gone they hired a junk removal type company to come and clean the rest of the place out and 2 months later they are still pulling his trash out of there. Neighbor #2 (clingy autistic guy) is still calling me, but has cut down to around once a week or so. He just texted me today actually.



I made the mistake of pulling in my driveway while he was unloading groceries into the house and ended up getting wrapped up in a conversation that I had to awkwardly pull out of with some excuse about moving stuff around in my house to prep for my parents poo poo to be stored here. They sold their house and now all my extra space is being used as a storage unit. He told me he wanted to meet my mom.

"Jake, jake, Jack" is slaying me. I wonder who will take the place of lovely loud white trash neighbour? Do you think autistic guy will want to text your Mom to play Xbox too?
