Its just, I feel like the BBS is feeling more cynical, depressing, and more of a darker place than it usually is rn”. Everyone is leaving. Seth got driven out. And I feel like using the BBS rn makes me “evil.”

I think the BBS is having an occasional “bad apples” period.

Ocasionally, the BBS has periods where darkness, drama and negativity flood it. This has been around most likely before I was born.

Well, it's a lot more than those users, that you mentioned. For a long, long time, before those 'other' websites rose up, a lot of users used to use the forums on here or some other forums back in the day. I didn't find NG until the fall of 2007, so I don't know much of the NG BBS history in some way before '07. Now I saw a lot of people come in and go. I saw some interesting users of their time and some awful users, and the real bad users.

I mean the forums weren't always this awful from time to time. But here were a few problems it faced; toxic users that would harass the users on and off of the forums (not every single user is a toxic user, also back in the day some users would have the mentality that no one would find out their real identity, so they wouldn't face the consequences yet), some mods that not everyone liked and respected (one of the main points), some website indirectly competing with NG (driving off its userbase), then there was Tom when he was a much different person back then (when he liked the mods, more than the users in the late 00's), lots of users and mods competing each other for more forum posts, random post deletion from the mods (even if the user in question, didn't post anything against the rules, they might loose 2 to 5 posts a week back in the day), the lack of creativity in the General section (Like PhotoShop threads for an example. Do you ever see a thread on here that lasts more than 2 or 3 pages these days? There was an art submission of this), the next gen of users (from the users born from 1995 to 2007, raised differently and types or texts differently from the older counterparts), dealing with the aging userbase, and the lack or thereof interesting threads as of the 2020's. (I can't think of more, but this will do for now.)

The funny thing about what you said is yes photoshop threads can seem lame and gimmicky but also if people are having fun being creative and clever and its good for the supposed culture or health of the forum, then arent photoshop threads kind of awesome? Like thats something i kinda remember fondly about that era. But it could be complicated and super unoriginal if its tons of photoshop threads with original images based off google image stock photos, sure …..

Its probably induced forum necrosis. While sad, it is part of the circle of life.


Feel free to laugh at the people trying to bring you down, though. That's what the internet's for.

Idk why it got locked.

I had a charity thread set up for this month where I would have donated money for any reaction to it. I had already done a thread like that for February from my blog and posted proof that I donated, so it wasn't a fake Reddit story or anything. Despite that, it was outright deleted with no explanation.


I was meaning to ask you about that. I was gonna ask for a donation to this charity (shouldn't have taken too damn long researching it, but work week was rough).

I locked it - as per what the previous posts in your thread said, please don’t vent about your bans from other sites because

a) we can’t do anything about it.

b) while your situation appears to be clear-cut, the tendency is for users to present a one-sided version of events.

Don't you have a log of moderation or something? A hidden thread to discuss stuff before doing it to prevent abuse? My signature was removed as well and all it said was to check out my demo music and the charity thread. I get if someone would be suspicious about it being a troll, but my proof of donation with the February thread was literally at the beginning of the post that lead here.


Yeah, I can see it’s deleted, but I don’t know what was in it.

I can’t answer your query.

It’s extreme posts like this and the death-threat newsposts to Malachy for banning Seth, that I think it is a common trend for things to be blown out of proportion.

i know the thread has derailed into feeding the weird hate boner that people seem to have for the BBS mods, but i feel like OP should atleast read this;


you're not imbued with any obligation to post on this forum, nor is anyone else. we're all here for the fun and escapism that comes with being a goofball online. if you don't like what you're seeing here, there's nothing stopping you from just changing to another tab and doing something else, and you mustn't feel bad about doing so. no one is demanding for you to be here. that's entirely your call to make, so if you're not enjoying yourself, by all means go and pursue happiness elsewhere, be it on another forum or another website even

Account deletion really shouldn't delete all their posts. I think the old bbs from pre-2002 would keep the post and the username was just <deleted user>
