/talk posters.
They have created for themselves a hostile and unpleasant environment, where every post is either a direct swat at someone, or is a hammy overtheatrical sarcastic quip, only understood by a few other posters.

They are like a bunch of mediaeval dandies, standing around trying to impress each other.

Then what happened is they all realised they've shit all over that board. A few of them noticed that QOTW was more friendly, so they crept over here.

Now it has descended into the same cunt-infested swamp.

and hereby give notice that I intend to use the term myself before the week is out.

Pooh and Tigger walked through the Hundred-Acre Wood, and soon found themselves in the Cunt-Infested Swamp.
"We're a long way from home, Pooh", trembled Tigger
"Only a shitcunt spastic would say something like that", came a voice from behind them.

Really?

I find /talk a funny place to be, same as /links and /QOTW and have posted lots on all boards.
I do still come across this 'all /talk are cunts' mentality and find it unpleasant and small minded and most often inflammatory either for want of an argument or for attention.
So, I am guessing ufm that you are after either/or, which is a shame as I expected better from you.

Yeah but UFM's point is that basically a small group of "trollie"-like people from 1 area of b3ta
have managed to piss off most of the regular posters in this section with their constant negative and in joke, "comedy website" comments to the point that many regular posters no longer bother posting their stories due to the flack that they get.

Please feel free to fuck off /talkers. Or at least go to OT.
(Misery McUglywife an attention seeking sociopathic fuckstain., Thu 6 Dec 2012, 7:18, closed)

I know. Looking back at the old questions, most of the people in there have moved on to other things.
The interesting thing is how many of them left about the time AB et al started appearing in here and annoying others. Maybe they were getting tired of qotw anyway. There's no way to know, as they're gone. But for a fact the comments have gotten a lot bitchier of recent times.

(Misery McUglywife an attention seeking sociopathic fuckstain., Thu 6 Dec 2012, 8:56, closed)

Pretty sure it's a free website, would you rather we were all segregated you prick?
I doubt that the intention when b3ta was designed was to have an area for all the people who like to look at pictures, an area for people who like to talk, another area for people who like to tell outrageous lies...
I imagine that they felt b3tans might want to do all of those things. It's just that certain groups of people have claimed each of these areas and the sort of people who seem to gravitate towards QOTW are unfunny and overly sensitive and have so little social awareness that they are completely surprised and upset when someone points out that the 'hilarious' anecdote they have just posted demonstrates how much of a cunt they are.
( 2 Can Chunder Word to your mums, I came to prod bums, Thu 6 Dec 2012, 7:55, closed)

But Shirley when 1 particular group from 1 area
basically invades another area - essentially using their powers of repetition and hanging shit on the regular posters (regardless of what they have posted) then the attacks are simply there as trolling rather than as input to the question.
When I got here 4 odd years ago qotw had it's own group of "That's shit, more Honda Accord, you're a cunt" commentators. Unfortunately not many of them are around any longer & neither are many of the posters that had some interesting stories. Hence the shit-flinging and bad puns. Constantly.

You know what?
Forums are only as good as their content. Tell a funny, literate, concise and true story.
( Amorous Badger NAKED BEA ARTHUR PHOTOS 4U, Thu 6 Dec 2012, 8:09, closed)

So your story is?
Please feel free to post a story that's less than 2 years old. & relevant.
Otherwise you just look another one of the commentators. Ad infinitum. Especially when you constantly post reposts of stories that you have in your "archive", mostly tenuously adapted to fit the parameters of the question.

And if you look at all the qotw answers for the last couple of years I think you'll find that I have posted a story. Barr a couple of bad puns or "stories" they've all been true.

EDIT: and now all of a sudden it's not a "comedy website" but about posting "funny, literate, concise and true stories".

I've been wondering if you'd ever actually attempt to mash out a fully formed sentence, rather than your usual grab-bag of unimaginative swears. So, well done for that, even if the result was a little dull and unimpressive. I would suggest, if this part of the website upsets you so very much, you have a little sit down, or go outside for a walk, or perhaps just restrict your viewing to parts of the site that make you feel more comfortable; you're not obliged to be here, railing against everything you perceive as a crime against literature like a futile, nerdy vigilante.

by "spoiling the board" you mean "not doing what I want them to do"
The reason the place is so hostile is because there needs to be at least one place on the internet where self-obsession, tears, bleating and trivial inanities about your life are not tolerated.

Trouble is, 95% of people start a conversation with "I", which is why /off-topic was created, so that you can drown yourself in your own mediocrity.
