This board caters for everyone or should.

I do think OT has "declined" a bit over the past couple months, but that worries me far less the increase in aggressiveness in the other forums. I can't keep track of the number of turbo/SC threads that have degenerated into megalomaniacal, egotistical drivel.
We have had a large increase in the number of "ricers" (not meant derogatorily), which is not a problem in itself except that they and the elitists are having some HUGE communication problems. And everyone seems to feel obligated to "set the record straight" with their wisdom. A lot of the crap could be avoided if people showed some restraint and just didn't reply to attacks. So what, so the other guy gets the last word.
BTW, I love the Muppet threads. Haven't been posting, but get the same satisfaction from reading them that I got picking scabs as a kid.
FWIW, I'm an elitist. I just try not to act like one.

I see this board as an ocean, continuosly crashing on the shore with brilliant posts, and then receding with nonsence, the tide will always come back in and.....What the hell was that?????
I think this board is what we make it, if the content is weak, post something that will bring it back up.
As for the recent bickering and such, I agree it has to stop. Or I might just go on a moderator power trip
