The times when people would get mercilessly berated for not using punctuation properly. Those were heady days.

GBS before was full of overly sensitive people about some trite poo poo. I recall some people being more upset that someone would take their infant child to a movie theatre than they were at the shithead that shot the place up in Aurora.

I think GBS went to hell because its user base either matured or left the community. The remainder is what we have today. I'm only 30 years old but I wouldn't have the energy or the desire to blow up someone's TV for stealing my cable rather than just confronting them on it.

The thing is that I remember GBS being moderated in such a manner that discouraged the absolutely low effort meta-trash that lives there now. Even if you were a sociopath or sperg, you were expected to use your words. Games and D&D are the only OK things I guess because of the utilitarian nature of both, but GBS's demise is a real loving shame considering we already had FYAD/YOSPOS and all the other terribly unfunny meta-forums.

Except you were expected to do just that to even hope to join in on the conversation. Really the pendulum swung from one end to the exact opposite other end.

That's reserved for them to effectively utilize against their enemies to make sure the public remains dumb enough to think antifa is worse than people who want to murder the former. CNN and Antifa are Nazis and Nazis are bad as everyone knows. Except for those guys carrying actual Swastika flags, doing Hitler salutes and trying to recreate the loving Nuremberg Rally with supplies form Home Depot. Those aren't Nazis at all.

poo poo...I think SA almost hit 100k users back when DPPH and DPMH we’re driving traffic and now 10years later there are only 200k goons. And 80k of those are inactive from when the pirate boards closed down. Dead gay forum, folks.

I'll queue up Frank Sinatra's "Cycles" and remember that one NYC goon meet where a dude was put in a tub so he could puke over himself and pass out in peace. Back on topic though, Arkema's claim that they withholding information due to terrorism concerns is horseshit. I can't even begin to count the number of infrastructure projects I've worked on where every chickenshit local agency makes you get their own "security" clearance to look or produce drawings/reports and labeling information as sensitive so you can't FOIL information about the projects. Sometimes it is warranted, but when you're calling handicap access elevators into a rail station sensitive then you're in  territory.

What the gently caress does "attack Japan" mean in that poll? I'm assuming it means "cheer while North Korea attacks Japan" and not "Join with our brothers in the North to gently caress all these people interfering with our peninsula.

Zoro posted:How would they even know? What kept happening was people were posting dogwhistles and other things offensive towards POC, then a poster of color would call them out on it, and then when the argument ensued 9 times out of 10 it was the poster of color who ate the probation/ban. For example there was one person who kept using the phrase "the blacks" even after repeatedly being asked not to by a black (ex?) regular, who then got probated for getting angry about it.

Well, that was the Mongols, twice, in the form of Yuan Dynasty China + other territories including Korea. Koreans were also probably responsible for a rise in Chinese literacy and Buddhism in Japan, most likely in the form of important nobles fleeing the fall of a Korean kingdom. I've no idea the historical reasons for the feud on the Japanese side but on the Korean side of things, Toyotomi Hideyoshi launched a failed invasion of Korea and Imperial Japan conquered Korea and ruled it like complete assholes.
