This has been brought up a lot recently with the revived push for new members.
Too many random BS posts (be it crude, sexual, etc.) are flooding the boards in random places. Certain threads are understandable (like in LR&AR), but to post about "tit hats" in a "Letters of Recommendation" thread is getting annoying. I understand that this is the internet, yadda yadda, and I don't necessarily mind random crude humor...but we will not attract new members by continuing such childish e-behavior. BUT!!!... we mods have been chastised in the past for doing such things as controlling excessive language. SO, what's it going to be? Free for all and no new members? or Mods keeping things as the rules say & have a more friendly messageboard to attract newer members?

i am sure that by now everyone has me on ignore anyway, but for my own entertainment let me re-emphasize the idea that only new content will bring any substantial amount of new people.
and we can add "new" content now, such as a photoshop/user video thread where people can showcase their skills or get help from others etc. i do not know if we want to try irc again or not. i mean, how hard would it be to ignore our differences and disagreements and work together? there used to be a lot of cliques on this board. now it seems like none of us are even friends with each other. i say we get our shit together or just break up. it's not you, it's me. stay together for the kids. |
