The only thing that helps me tolerate this forum is the traffic speed. It's slower than the Flood. Other than that, any redeemable qualities this forum died when the 2010s took over.

$5 says we'll see another 'What inspired your username?' in two weeks.
I resent that!

I can't remember a single thread I've made in the community forum that either wasn't well written or proposed an interesting idea or topic of discussion (and go HT).


Toot your own horn much?

Whatever you've done personally is all well and good, but you're not representative of the rest of the Septagon. Good threads were everywhere here back in the day, but now with everything dark, we have have people like Hoobla. We have people making threads 'just because', and now that's become the norm due to Bungie still remaining dark.

One does not simply get rid of TopWargamer so easily.

That's the thing, something like that shouldn't be considered tooting your own horn because making a good thread that sparks discussion, etc. should be the norm rather than something to be praised for. I do get where youre coming from about the quality of threads but to generalize it about a group of users that large is a little unnecessary.

I'm not saying it shouldn't be the norm. What I'm saying is that pointing out that you make a 'good' thread shouldn't have to be done.

And that generalizing may be unnecessary, but I haven't seen any older members rehashing the same repeat threads over and over again.

You haven't seen them do it because they're the ones used to those topics and sick of discussing them. The newer members (the 2010s and onward) are either ignorant to the fact that what theyre talking about is a commonly reoccurring discussion or just simply feel there's still more they can say about it (and thus are not sick of it). The older members were the same way when they were newer members.

In the fifties, it was old people hating rock and roll who used to love swing and big band. Now, it's old people hating dub step who used to love rock and roll.

You're just rehashing my point back at me. I'm aware of why the older members don't do it. I'm aware of why the newer members do. What I'm saying is that instead of being aware of how their 'forced' activity isn't helping much, they continue to do it, and even make jokes about it. Just look at Hoobla. Instead of just allowing them to do it in an attempt to drum up activity, it needs to made clear how they should go about making a quality thread, and not 'How many B.nets could a B.net if a B.net could B.net B.net?'

“Oh, it’s a little bit of everything, it’s the mountains, it’s the fog, it’s the news at six o’clock, it’s the death of my first dog, it’s the angels up above me, it’s the song that they don’t sing, It’s a little bit of everything.”
- Dawes, A little bit of everything

The present, it's wonderful and always has been, and as long as we pay attention so will it remain.

Now that I understand your point, I do wholeheartedly agree.

Adhering to stereo types that aren't constructive, especially when they pertain to age or experience, just because the generation that preceded you "did it" is silly and only further perpetuates a negative feeling of older members towards newer ones.

Hoobla isn't that bad. He's trying and he honestly does bring up descent topics every once in a while.
