    The change has not been our friend, but the same people are around, which is what really matters in the end.

    I'll try and clarify a little. I see the same topics on page 1 all the time with no new posts. (Actually kind of nice since search doesn't work)

    This place used to be my time killer at work...

    I miss a lot of people that used to come in here...twisty ties, Lizard, iluvcats...that acid miner guy...*sigh*

    I 'might' miss 81...a teeny tiny bit.

    It was hard to keep up with the insanity. Glad i got to get a little taste of that before, 10C menopause.

    Well, that's true, so people have bailed. Peacefrompaul got a lifetime ban for a nooger emoticon, too. :( I will miss him.
    Yeah, it's not what it used to be..... but I'm trying to stay positive. I think it will pick up again soon enough, when 10C clues into the fact that a member came up with something that fixes most of the layout issues, or all the members clue into the fix and download it.

    Whats a nooger emoticon? I can't believe such a smart (seemingly good) person like peacefrompaul has been banned, that's incredibly unfortunate.

  • shortstackshortstack Posts: 2,339
    aw, not the little nugget!

    i have a feeling they want to get rid of the board entirely.

    It's been a goofy, irrelevant chat fest for many years now with endless threads that drag on forever.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Lifetime ban for an emoticon? That seems extreme (almost dictatorship-extreme) I'm sad to hear he is gone; I enjoyed reading his posts.

    yeah, but without it a lot of friendships/connections would not have been made.... and where would pearl jam be without it's "community" that they now use as a selling point for people to join the fan club?

    Whoa. Just saw this.

    I can't believe peacefrompaul has a lifetime ban ?!? I haven't been on here as often because I'm just NOT happy with this format and its a cold place to be.... I've made some good friends on here and quite a few have left over the years, and I miss them very much.

    Well, actually he kind of deserved it, lol. And he didn't want to be here anymore. He basically chose to get banned.
    But yeah, it's always sad to see people disappear!

    It was a cartoon guy jerking off... and then he ignored a warning and repeated the same basic thing but worse. So yeah, he took a high dive off the forum, lol.

    Can I choose more than one answer? I remember the good old days altho I was more of a lurker then. It was pretty freaking funny. It was still a lot of fun even through all the different changes. People got used to the new versions and carried on.

    Now I can't believe how EVERYBODY has disappeared. I don't think damper is quite the right word for this new forum design.

    It is fun for me but I'm new so all I have for frame of reference is the old posts. Although it does look like a good time was being had and in comparison current posts seem a little tame.
