I alone can see through the media bias.

I'm also stupid on a scale that can only be measured in Reddits.

I voted Goku because Sid drew those pants while I was but a wee lurker in GBS and it is a little part of GBS that will never leave me.

hey buds, everyone keeps yelling at me for being a racist because i posted in gbs. it's true, i was a gbs reg, but there were def a lot of threads i didn't read. i never read the mountain climbing thread that got everyone all upset. i never read the Chinese thread (were ppl makin fun of the Chinese? is that what that thread was about?) i read a thread about the ghostbusters movie but i specifically remember everyone agreeing that the milo twitter man was a total jerk for being racist to leslie jones and no one was being like, ironically racist in that thread. i tended to avoid "mock" threads because i didn't want to be mean, and a lot of megathreads intimidated me with their meganess. i didn't know much about the doobie hotdog guy. i still don't know who ulililolio is. mostly i remember silly catchphrase stuff and people making fun of the news and threads about movies and comics and stuff, and sucking drat balls and fuckmen dicks.

Basically my question is this: was everyone else just overreacting and gbs wasn't really that bad? or was gbs actually that bad, and I was just so bad at gbs that I never even realized how bad it was?

GBS is, was, and will only ever be your sum experience of it, imo.

Fart Puzzle

compressed fart pieces

Eh I feel like it's a bit of both. There were definitely some idiots who said hosed up stuff and had lovely opinions but at the same time I feel like a lot of it was all bark and no bite. Plus you'd get people coming into threads to shame people which kinda adds fuel to the fire. Throw in a dash of Dare and a bit of credit card fraud and you get a nice dumpster fire.

As a 'yobber, I've found the last week impossible to keep up with.

Ah well, I'm sure that we'll reach some sort of happy equilibrium.

I started in GBS and still post there among other subforms and have always thought it's good to post in other forums. i know that when GBS comes back BYOB will be back to its customary 10-15 people but i hope some of you stick around here or at least come to visit. until then lets all make some blanket forts and poo poo and hunker down during this hurricane

I'll def stick around, I always liked byob and would only forget about it because of the slow pace. With gbs you could be popping between three different threads and as soon as you posted in one, there were a bunch of replies already in the other two. You could have convos in real time basically. That's why I posted there so much, really, instead of just reading threads like I do in other subforums.

I think some GBS folks may find BYOB more to their liking. I posted a story in P/C about some paranormal events that happened to me one time that involved a clock flying off a hutch and hitting my ex GF in the head. So of course some fuckface accused me of abusing my girlfriend which made me really loving pissed. Like I don't care that he or she disbelieved my story but why do you have to take it to such an offensive loving extreme? I feel like that sort of thing wouldn't be said seriously here.

but byob is excellent, really funny and creative. I was irritated about the gbs thing at first (mostly because I had just started an "mspaint a movie scene and see if we can guess it" thread and it went gold and hit like ten pages in an hour or so and BAM! gbs is gone lol) but I'm glad i have a good reason to post here and I'm glad other good ppl are posting here too :^)

I don't find it hard to admit that as a gbser I have certain leftover urges that would be socially unacceptable to fulfill here in byob. I haven't told any fuckmen to blow me in days, for instance. So I thought it would be good to have a thread where people with my kind of brain problems can practice attempting to redirect these psychological needs into a flavor that wont piss off our kindly hosts. So without further ado,

OH MY GOD! YOUR HAIR LOOKS [b]FANTASTIC[\b] DO YOU USE PRODUCT, CUZ GODDAMN!

POST ME SOME ANIME, MY ANIMEBRO!!

GRATS ON YOUR THREAD OP :)

RERO RERO RERO, RERORERORERORERORERO*while looking into ur eyes*

NIIIICE MAN YOU LOOKIN SVELTE 2DAY!


Whew, I already feel a little better and I think I'll be able to get a handle on this. Thanks for your welcome and patience, Byob

Oh one more thing. Us gbsers like pointless polls. And the last option has to be dbz related. Please stand by for one of those. I hope byob likes b5!

"Suck my bong, fellowman." has a nice ring to it.

super the same, the most controversial thread I read there was the olympics one. the olympics were a bad time.

GBS provided the fast paced content creation that allowed my mediocre posts to sink into a sea of white noise. It was very relieving

I dont think anyone in recent memory considered byob awful so much as "oh yeah that chill forum which has about 20 ppl inside and is thus irrelevant".

Mea culpa btw.
