(I helped save b3ta! bumblebee.. I am not a number! I am a free snail!, Wed 21 Apr 2004, 3:45, archived)
# no, but at certain times of day
every second thread seems to be a repost and i happen to know that it's irritated some people to the extent that the come here less than they otherwise would

# i took a break too
but more because of the unfluffiness..
people seems rude now.

no-one was called each other cunts back when i started (not you)

# really?
the cuntiness levels have gone down of late. a couple of months back it was just getting silly, older members were leaving in droves. Quite a few are coming back now though for at least part of the day

# stopped using the internet last summer
prefer real sunshine to screenglow ;)

came back and was quite surprised - instead of praise to other peoples pictures they were ignored or dissed?

(even the halfbad picture posters used to be encouraged to improve)

there still fluffiness here :) - but definetely more dissing

# I say bring back the swear filter
but will they listen? Will they fuck. the cunts.

# there are a fair few people who try to stay reasonably nice at al times
and i think i've done my bit for board fluff levels over my time here, it's just that the board turnover can be so high these days that wooing every pic or even just commenting on every pic gets annoying

# contribute? your quite possibly the crown prince of fluffiness...

# the problem, i think
is that when the board started a "fluffiness" campaign, the newer members never experienced the "hazing" of being yelled at for posting bad stuff, which led them to post more bad stuff. this made the board quality deteriorate. At this point, older members who didn't like seeing the quality of the board go downhill, left to go to 4rthur or other places. This led to an even more rapid deterioration, since many of the older people, who posted good stuff were no longer posting.
About this time, an ipod bandwagon (and a few others) got out of hand, and Rob got angry and changed the FAQ to try and deter the bad posts. The fluffiness levels started dropping, and the quality improved, and older members started coming back.

~Encyclopædia B3tanica~

Since then, some newer members still acted like jerks, but less now that people started yelling at them for being so mean to others (ironic, to some extent, but apparently neccesary). and if the number of people who know how to act like human beings increases, the board will become a friendlier place over all, even if some people have to be yelled at, to do so.

edit - i seem to have spent too much time on this reply. I also think i may start the encyclopaelig;dia B3tanica.

# it may be hard to develop it and make it non-biased.
but to differentiate from 4rthur's dictionary, this would be a more in depth look at the history and information about b3ta things. instead of saying "the fear: 1. ARRRGH THE FEAR! 2. created by spacefish" it would give the background and history of the development of "arrrgh the fear" - first post, first "arrgh", although might be hard with the b3ta board search down. It would also include information like "the exodus" i described above, and the history of the icons.
/reminds self to look at 4rthur to see what kinds of things are needed.

# hell, sounds interesting to me
B3TA is so complex...an Encyclopedia would be useful
(-Ironic Ferret-, Wed 21 Apr 2004, 4:35, archived)
# I think it is very true
Hence the reason i never post anything anymore--those old B3tans put me in my place (thank god)

So even now, as i wish i had some sort of frontpager, i keep my mouse faaaaar away from the photoshop button and scanner. This should be a lesson to you all.

And thank you for the lengthy response--it was well needed.

# yeah the influx of pearoasts during the day of images posted at night is taking the piss
too many people trying to say "look at me! look what I did!" with material already posted

I have to say I am guilty of pearoasts but I latch onto threads already started instead of starting new ones
