I have no problem with the current state of the boards. I'm good at ignoring people who annoy me, so that's part of why it doesn't bother me. I realize that the internet is a big place, and pretty much anyone who wants to can get on here and troll the place. It usually only last a day or two, Nick boots them, and then things are ok again. It's usually easy to tell a thread started by a troll, so if I see one, I just don't click it. It's that simple. I don't let small things bother me, so I'm fine with the way things are. I'm fine with having to sift through a little crap to find the good stuff here. I like the main page, and there's enough good conversation going on here (about movies and otherwise) that I'm not going to leave anytime soon. I'm rambling now, but that's my two cents on the subject. I really like this place.

But a number of people (might be a SMALL number) have tried to calmly discuss the problems and such.

I myself feel that you don't make yourself enough of a presence on the boards, at least not for a long while. If you initiated a calm intelligate discussion about how to make them better then I think things would go much smoother.

Or not. Fuck I dont know.

Also I think a lack of presence and coperation makes people who are members not care about the content of their posts, it leads to group mentality. No matter how much someone might want their posts to be of quality, if a large number of other people are not doing the same then that persons own posts will degrade in quality.

So, wait, there's another spin-off board besides SP where people go to bitch about CHUD? Huh.

Hmm I joined this one for the fun of it but I didnt realize bitching about Chud members was what that was about.

If your going to bitch about someone do it where they will see it. Only fair.

It is by will alone I set my CHUD in motion
It is by the words of CHUD that thoughts acquire speed
The fingers acquire stains, the stains become a warning
It is by will alone I set my CHUD in motion

The "Devin, Rex, and Slater" jab was a throw-away comment. I carelessly tossed that off as a sideways jab at the three biggest sadsacks who feel the need to whine about "the way things were." Things change. That's the only thing that'll ever stay the same, you should know that by now. Grow up.

Actually, the purpose of that forum is for us to have a place to have our own place to crack jokes and post stupid pictures, to cut down on the amount of that here. You guys have your little private board, we figured the "retards" deserved one too. Simple as that. We just didn't make a big stink about it. It just leaked surprisingly quickly. We're working on that. Like I said, we were overrun by SP for a while there. No more. Banned the glue huffers outright. All is copasetic, now. Perfectly clean and cool.

Fresh start. Had to delete the threads they fucked up. Meaning all of them.

It's meant to be a humor board. No bashing. Unless that should fall into the wayward comment here or there, but that's free speech for you, isn't it?
Well I dont mean this in a hatefull way but you really havn't been here for too too long. The good old days (god this phrase is really annoying for a message board) were even before when I joined up.

And having a message board of your own is fine but to call yourselves "the retards of chud, or any other faction" does not help.

And really name calling about the people you mentioned is really unhelpfull. If you have something to say just say it. But not just with one word.

Just to put some perspective on the motives behind that post.

I've said all I need to say on the subject. If not in this thread, then in one of 2 or 3 others. No need to reiterate. I've got no problem with the state of the board, except with one or two personalities there on. As far as I know, that's not unprecedented.
Oh come on. I was being silly in chat, I didnt want you to take what I posted on the board as me being harsh to you, just stating my opinion.

You can say what you want about Otik's board, but it did provide CHUD with absolutely critical intel.

THE TWO SCORCHED PLANET GUYS PLAN ON GETTING INTO THE TOP SECRET FORUM AND 'RUINING IT' (aka posting some photoshopped pics and leaving). Shocking but true.

I was gonna say this under the 'CHUD 2.0' thread in announcements...but somebody closed that. So here goes.

After all his years here...I find it funny that Nunz gets pissed when people go batshit after he announces in open forum that he's creating an 'Elitist Board' for a handful of select long-time people in hopes that they might come back.

It's like the CHUD version of The Skulls.

Although they usually have the common sense to go to said 'selected' people in private.

Reap what you sow, Top. Reap what you sow...

As always, I try to do whatever I can to make this place (which I adore) better. We have no power to change excepting the topics and quality of discussions we participate in.

It should be fun, right?

What's the point in voting when an Elitist board is being introduced?

Or people are going to take offense that the boards are becoming increasingly hostile while they sit back and do nothing.

it's not the boards that suck, it's some of the attitude on it.

No shit, Nick.
Honestly, you've got to learn to chill and let visitors to your site sort things out amongst themselves. Just ban the ones you don't want. Simple.

Wait-- there's a board devoted to the purpose of denouncing me?

Can I please get a link? In truth, though, I won't be able to read it through the tears of joy streaming down my face.

I've made it, he told himself. I finally made it.

I need to call my dad.

Wait. There's a forum for "elites"? What the hell? What have I missed?

And if true? Fucking stupid. Listen to Django.

The boards are fine. Still plenty of good discussions everywhere, still plenty of cool people. That's about as much as you can ask from a message board, isn't it?

I'm not sure. If I have to pee every time I see him on the boards, then yes, it will be a difficulty. However, if its only an occasional thing, I think that's a positive@!
