/OT has just become the same as /talk was about 2 years ago.
Resident Loon posted some stuff about a woman he knew dying and got a fair amount of comedy/abuse.

Which is what /OT and /QOTW used to moan about /talk doing.

Also, morning Al.

Morning, but that's bollocks about this place being like /talk was 2 years ago
It was over 2 years back when Hairpot tried to go to KFC and the abuse there was hilarious.

I think the difference is that was funny
Half the time now it's just badly spelled insults being thrown.

it's still going the same way.
If you factor in the "comedy" one-trick posters and chompy's slow, inevitable mental breakdown as a bastard hybrid of Baldmonkey and MONO, you've pretty much got it covered. Next step is a large number of people leaving, and that seems to have started already.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Fri 17 Feb 2012, 8:44, Reply)

although I agree that the objections to abuse was more /QOTW than /OT
but you still had people here who would object if it wasn't funny or went too far.

I'm not really complaning, these places evolve. Just how it is. It's just interesting they go through the same sort of phases.

I don't mean to sound like an old man
but it has got considerably shitter recently. You used to be able to have an actual debate about stuff but that never happens any more.
( Bazongaloid, Fri 17 Feb 2012, 8:47, Reply)

I find that it's very easy to work out who made this place shitter.

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Fri 17 Feb 2012, 8:48, Reply)

I don't think it's particularly one person.
it's more the acceptance of things like that as being somehow amusing that leads to a change in the whole attitude.

I bet you want it to go back to Dear Deirdre and pandering dontcha, hmmm, dontcha?
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Fri 17 Feb 2012, 8:56, Reply)

I'd rather go back to halfway between the two
Pandering wasn't the end of the world, but it was still better than badly spelled insults and bollocks about who likes what Belgian musician, etc

(Quintno EXPERIMENT RUINED CANCELLED, LEFT 4EVER, Fri 17 Feb 2012, 9:19, Reply)

Fuck, no
I don't "want" it to do anything. It's not my board. It'll do what the majority want.

I like to actually be able to hold conversations, though, so the direction it's going isn't for me.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Fri 17 Feb 2012, 9:00, Reply)

The thing is, I hold you and Stunned partly to blame for the fact that you react so much to Quinten.
I don't find him constantly saying "fucken prick" that amusing, but he's quite funny at times, but you two get so het up about the things he says, I'm not suggesting you're actually UPSET OFFLINE, but you could just not reply.
( Bazongaloid, Fri 17 Feb 2012, 9:02, Reply)

where's the fun in that?
this isn't really about him though, he's just BGN. It's a change in attitude of the board, and like I said, it's just what happens.

although I do object to the idea that I get het up about it. I just politely reply, like my mum brung me up to do, and that.

Everybody frothing and hissing about it is what's so brilliant.

I agree.

( Bazongaloid, Fri 17 Feb 2012, 9:09, Reply)

the only problem is a lot of people don't
and they'll leave, and you're left with a board half-full of those who thought it was funny, and half full of sockpuppet accounts "for the LOLs" who'll disappear as soon as there's no-one left to get a rise out of.

roffle.
Didn't you read all the posts, Quints? Doesn't particularly bother me, it's just a conversation about board evolution. No offence, forum banter.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Fri 17 Feb 2012, 9:17, Reply)

defoo not bothered thats for sure
i'm glad your not upset, i'd be very disapointed if you were

When people start posting lolwaki, 'LOL COCKS' or blatent attention seeking with no notable content... at a point where there is more that than conversation.... is when I fuck right off.

quite aside from his inate dickishness
Loon got shit for appearing out of nowhere and expecting sympathy like any of us knew or cared who he was. Maybe once this would have been true, but not today.

While all of what you say about What is Wrong With /ot is true. I would add that another major problem is people winging about it being shit, rather than starting new threads or contributing in a positive manner to existing ones. For all his faults Quinten actually does this more than most, which is why I love him
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Fri 17 Feb 2012, 9:25, Reply)

He started his post with
"those who've been reading me for a while"

I bet he hits a fucking glass with a spoon before he speaks in a pub.
(PsychoChomp, Fri 17 Feb 2012, 9:37, Reply)

True.
One does get a feeling of massive self-importance. I dunno, maybe if I had read more of his stuff... I did read the top story on his profile, it smaked of bullshit to me and smug bullshit at that.
