there have been various factions of posters claiming that X or Y group of people "ruined" the forums since literally 2002.

What would a :regd03: know about 2002 forums culture. You don't even get a smiley for your year.

 I only browse threads that show up in the Popular Threads section on the front page.

It's strangely beautiful, poetic even, that in such short course the thread about the future of the forums has become Exhibits A through D on why this place is so hard to stand for anyone but regulars and those who match the goon psychiatric profile.

You gotta be the right combination of extremely woke, terminally online, and alone/fat to fit in here and even then lots of users will hair-trigger stuff like using totally mainstream terms such "culture war" as some kind of far right dogwhistle. As far as many frequent users are concerned, this clubhouse ain't moving/changing, as it's one of few places online they have found refuge from people, ideas, and language that can hurt them.

I have a love/hate relationship with the forums for sure, as at its best it's one of the most intelligent, accessible, candidly funny places I've been on the internet.

lol
