Does you miss the old OT of yore?

Yeah I liked it back in the day, but as long as off topic after hours is kept far far away it isn't that bad...

I like being able to speak freely without fear of a banning but I miss the old OT because it was actually active.

This sounds about right. The quality in OT is only down because the traffic is down. The reason for the huge influx of political threads is rather simple: It's an election year.

Well, that's why the traffic is down.

I thought people used to be much more intelligent a few years ago. Even the trolls were funny and made me laugh- yes I was a lurker with no account. But still, people were in general better to talk to, the topics were more interesting, and less political. Now all we get is religion and political debates, with low blows from each side. The trolls posted intelligent and funny things; it says a lot when a troll can make it to level 50 (I thought they had fairly high levels, could be wrong) and above like noxboxlive, banjo, zumajones and more did. Because they played so close to the line and pissed people off within the rules. And then over the course of like a week there was like 10 bans. That was fun. Nothing fun happens anymore!

you're welcome.

Generally for off-topic stuff I don't come here. I go to specialised boards.

I miss the fact that this place used to have more activity, otherwise don't really care one way or the other

[QUOTE="BritishLurker"]Hell yeah. Chevolutionary, Omni-Slash, Patchi, Azimio, brentos, pinkkfloydd, supersaiyanlink, etc etc. OT was awesome back in the day. Chevolutionary

its a double edged sword.

on the one hand, it was more active, and made trolling worthwhile and such, but you could get modded for stupid crap. Fvck moderator discretion.

on the other, the rules now are more lax and we can speak freely, but traffic has gone down, and most people just result to insults and such when proven wrong or something.

its got its good and bad.

though i do miss some older users who have gone.

Also "disruptive posting" is a rather broad category and I think Gamespot should tighten their definition of that offense and be more clear about what constitutes "disruptive posting" and what doesn't.

I miss Zuma, Ambitiousknight. And a few more peoplethemajormayor

Don't really care that much. Yeah, there's some users to be missed, but others will come.

I do miss the banned threads where everybody would tell their favorite memories about that person. So creepy, yet funny.

It's an online forum. It was never really anything special.

I remember the old days of OT, people complained about how rubbish it was back then too. It does seem to have declined but pretty much any other site I can remember visiting seems to have declined too, just my sugar coated memories from when I was 15 I guessEJ902
