I try not to be too critical because I like the people in there. But that thread really feels like “shooting fish in a barrel: the thread”. Spending your time dunking on people that are clearly mentally Ill, sheltered or without life experiences seems like a waste of energy.

I've always just looked at it as an outlet to post your response to these users in a thread where you're not going to get warned or banned simply for replying with your opinion or making a dumb joke.

If we do there'll just be a million small threads dedicated to various stupid elsewhere. The re/gaf/etc thread is a containment chamber as much as it is anything else.

I've been less interested in the containment area lately because there's less to point and laugh at.
Most of the A and B tier characters have already been banned or left so you're left with C, D and sometimes E characters.

Making fun of GAF is the only thing I like about that thread lol

Making fun of Gaf is like shooting fish in a barrel with no water in it. I tried mocking those assholes but there's just no sport in it at all. Why bother when they are just going to aspirate and die.

Posting dumb stuff by checkmarks isn't really weird.
It gets weird if there is some obsession or hateboner going on, I don't know why some people are so obsessed with Peterson. AFAIK he's the clean your dick then your room guy who wrote some self-help book that I recall people talking about on my normal social feed. Never read into him much and don't know why people are enthralled with his unfortunate health.

Which is the worst, so I guess I'll take the containment thread. Like Snoop Dogg says in the song Bitch Niggaz:

Check it out Dawg, this game is a motherfuckin' trip man
Word on the streets
Everybody always tryin' to run up on me
Hollerin' about word on the streets is this nicca said this
Man I don't give a fuck about what that nicca said man
That's what's wrong with you niccas, you niccas is just like bitches
Ho-ass niccas, talk too motherfuckin' much (speak)
Study your own, get your own, you know what I'm sayin'?

what I'm thinking is ok so we close the other forums thread, it's officially gone

then somebody makes a random non-stickied thread to laugh about some stupid thing somebody said or whatever

we're expecting the mods to close that thread and say "we don't support metacommentary of other forums here"

the one topic on the bore that nobody can ever discuss and forces the mods to scan the forum daily to make sure no one is attempting to make another secret other forums thread

I don't really know what it is that I am doing wrong, let alone different from the last many years. Most of the time no one is specific, especially about the trickle-out effects that it supposedly has. I certainly don't take it anymore seriously than when it was GAF, probably even far less than then, and even more try to keep it to the thread unless it seems broadly funny. So I don't know what I can do to help, if anything. If the problem is too broad instead of specific as to what and who then I'm not sure what there is to do other than the obvious and I'm skeptical of my relevance to it or ability to change things. I mention it because it's like the third big complaint in as many weeks, and the prior one had claims of Nazis and other absurd stuff I simply have never seen let alone anything like that spreading across the rest of the forum which seems generally the same as ever aside from how people come and go.

I'm not trying to downplay any possibly valid complaints or defend any negative contributions I am making, and I definitely can't do much on my own, but I can change my own behavior and I'm sure that there are others who feel the same. It just seems like the same old "I'm so tired" rather than specific complaints I could do something about in a way that's better than just shutting the fuck up.

+1 to benji. I agree that the thread doesn't really "spill out" ever, if at all. I would love to see less Potato posts, but I think eventually he'll figure out being a complete heel isn't a path to success here. All the worst people stay put.

By comparison, most of the people I genuinely like on this forum dabble in that thread on occasion, including all of the mods here. A lot of Don Rumata likes. I see jakefromstatefarm likes in there on occasion. nachobro is usually hilarious. nudemac... I don't know where he is right now but he's in there a lot and he's a funny guy. And momo posts a LOT in that thread but he literally never posts about other forums and is just contributing random fun shit because he's cool.

I think the best way to think of it is... do you guys remember The Soup? Metacommentary is just fun. I like the unique sense of humor that's there -- and on the rest of this forum. Granted usually I hate 75% of the content in there -- if I open the thread and it's just pages of humorless kvetching about THE CULTURE WAR then I'm annoyed -- but it's worth it for a good benji post or getting a moblin like or some really random event that takes the thread's attention for days on end. And it's not always about the two forums in particular. I've been posting reddit stuff lately. We had that seniorforums phase. I can always count on ExoXYZ to like my Suicide Girls. On a good day there's a lot of variety.

It's just funny. If you don't think it's funny don't read it. That's it.

It's a guilty pleasure and the soul of bore condensed into a thread.

I mention it because it's like the third big complaint in as many weeks, and the prior one had claims of Nazis and other absurd stuff I simply have never seen let alone anything like that spreading across the rest of the forum which seems generally the same as ever aside from how people come and go.

I'm not trying to downplay any possibly valid complaints or defend any negative contributions I am making, and I definitely can't do much on my own, but I can change my own behavior and I'm sure that there are others who feel the same. It just seems like the same old "I'm so tired" rather than specific complaints I could do something about in a way that's better than just shutting the fuck up.

it is a testament to your style that first I wondered if this was some sort of weirdly on the nose or lightly edited copypasta

second I wondered whether or not this is actually sincere and that is where I remain

in any case I have no idea why anyone would seriously be in favor of benji shutting the fuck up

I don't really know what it is that I am doing wrong, let alone different from the last many years. Most of the time no one is specific, especially about the trickle-out effects that it supposedly has. I certainly don't take it anymore seriously than when it was GAF, probably even far less than then, and even more try to keep it to the thread unless it seems broadly funny.

Same, I thought it was a gaf/newgaf post he had saved away somewhere for such a case at first.

You're fine, imo you should ignore these criticisms cause it's dumb and hypocritical.

Nothing will ever be done with that thread. That's the way the bore is. It stays the same for good or bad. Nothing is ever improved in that regard. It's a shithole. It stays a shithole. And its embarrassing. That thread I mean.

I'll suggest what I always suggest. Let the place devolve into what it is. You can't fix something if the people in charge don't see a problem (or don't care)

You can post less though. Which I think is more than appropriate.

+1 to benji. I agree that the thread doesn't really "spill out" ever, if at all. I would love to see less Potato posts, but I think eventually he'll figure out being a complete heel isn't a path to success here. All the worst people stay put.

By comparison, most of the people I genuinely like on this forum dabble in that thread on occasion, including all of the mods here. A lot of Don Rumata likes. I see jakefromstatefarm likes in there on occasion. nachobro is usually hilarious. nudemac... I don't know where he is right now but he's in there a lot and he's a funny guy. And momo posts a LOT in that thread but he literally never posts about other forums and is just contributing random fun shit because he's cool.

I think the best way to think of it is... do you guys remember The Soup? Metacommentary is just fun. I like the unique sense of humor that's there -- and on the rest of this forum. Granted usually I hate 75% of the content in there -- if I open the thread and it's just pages of humorless kvetching about THE CULTURE WAR then I'm annoyed -- but it's worth it for a good benji post or getting a moblin like or some really random event that takes the thread's attention for days on end. And it's not always about the two forums in particular. I've been posting reddit stuff lately. We had that seniorforums phase. I can always count on ExoXYZ to like my Suicide Girls. On a good day there's a lot of variety.

It's just funny. If you don't think it's funny don't read it. That's it.
Hahaha, if your idea of success is gaining hero points on a (nominally) video game forum, then you probably need to re-asses your life goals dude (although weren't you a Resetera mod at some point?).

What I post in that thread and what I post in other threads here are mutually exclusive and never cross over. That thread is for shit discussion about stupid people. If you don't like what I post there, then ignore me or don't visit the thread. However, if you have a problem with something I have posted outside of that thread, then I'd like to see some receipts.
