As best as I can gather, the admins didn't like it - thought that it was offensive and difficult to read, with a lot more bad than good. Not a good thing for the "main" forum and a thing new people would see. It's going to be rebooted sooner or later with new mods and rules in an attempt to get a fresh start on the whole thing rather than just going and gassing/banning half a forum that's been hostile to a lot of moderation.

Adix posted:is there a summary of what happened with gbs? -someone made a QCS thread suggesting that GBS be hidden to non-registered viewers because they thought having such a bad and unfunny forum be the first thing people see might scare off new regs. -GBS posters flooded the thread en masse calling the OP a triggered tumblrina with hurt fee fees who must be incredibly fat, a tranny, a milennial, Chinese, a Democrat, Mount Everest, etc. -having handily illustrated how bad and unfunny GBS is the admins went one step further deleted it altogether

While we're having this discussion, what is this coconut gun thing that keeps popping up in the QCS thread on GBS? Some gbs meme I missed? A word filter thing? A honey pot for people like me?

What do you mean GBS was unfunny and hostile? You don't think a front page that's just "what if Seinfeld was set in (time period)" or all the "ITT we are (blank)" weren't FANTASTIC?!

There were about 3 worthwhile threads in the first 3 pages of GBS. The only reason I noticed it was missing was because I was looking for the Anonymous Confessions thread.

Oh man, it's good GBS is closed, and people can now repeat the same unfunny thing in other subforums. Could be even funnier, if you change some letters in the word coconut. That would be the level of comedy GBS in its current state could never achieve.
