Just to clarify, I’m not leaving, just couldn’t think of a better title.
Aight, so most of you might know, forums is dead. Or at least the community around it is. There are no longer interesting or fun topics here, it’s a load of ignored appeals and reports. The true community died months ago. True OG’s have left, people with great knowledge and respect have left us. The forums is not what it used to be. Pretty sure that is obvious to everyone.
The forums used to have lively, talkative, and respectable userbase. Which has withered over the year. When I joined, it was a great place to visit and reply to interesting topics, that no longer exists. In the current state, the forums is full of trolls, attention seekers, or just brainless kids. There is no longer that warm flame that drew me over here. The once lively community is dead.
All if not most of the OG’s are gone, the people who kept the others, civilized, and interested, are gone. Few remain. These users were special, they had their own traits and were fun to talk to in their own way. If you weren’t around during the golden age, (Mid 2020) you are not an OG.
These honourable users were;
-
@keanu_lopez
A cool, likeable, and respectable guy. -
@Qwerty
Fun, likeable, and kind dude. -
@BobTheBuilder
We had our differences, but he was always the smart, cool, and collected guy. -
@BadKarma
Absolute legend in my eyes, cool, knowledgeable, and a great critique. -
@The_Third_Guard
A great friend, fun to be around, and respectableguygirl. -
@blehman
Great guy, fun, kind, and smart.
^^ (In no specific order)
These guys will always be in my personal book of fame, these guys kept the fire going for so long, but a fire can only burn for so long.
The forums will always have a special place in my heart, I know it’s dramatic, but it is true. It taught me life lessons, gave me friends I’ll never forget, and was a great place to call my “Virtual home” for quite a bit.
You can no longer criticize others or their posts without fear of being flagged, you can no longer find fun or interesting posts, you can no longer check out a post and be like “Hey! It’s him again!”. It’s become a place or toxicity, trolling, cyberbullying, nonsense posts, and people trying to catch fame and glory from the title of “OG”.
Being an OG is not about being known on the forums, but being an original and respectable character who has been through it all and knows how to respond.
There are some great newgens on our forum, like my great friend @KKzuk, a knowledgeable, respectable, and kind dude. These people are my reason for staying. Expanding my knowledge of our vast community and keeping topics interesting while staying civilized.
Again, I’m not leaving, just venting my frustrations and sadness into one post. I care about this community, but stop treating the forums as a joke. It kills interest and kills the flame further, currently, I’m contemplating leaving. I’ll stay for at least a month more.
This is MeIs signing off this final rant of mine.
Cya in my next post,
hopefully…
