I agree. This attitude made me quit long ago and now I kinda regret it as I want to get back into RPing and the scene seems to have changed quite a bit. It is really funny though when the "in my time..." threads pop up. Posters will complain about how older people aren't around anymore and then six months later, a new version of the thread pops up naming posters from the previous thread as "old".
This is what I was sayin' earlier, bullshit 'punk rock cred.' It's as old as the forum itself.
Hell, when I joined back in 2003 Beeker was making 'things ain't what they used to be' threads.
Seems like things are how they've ever been.

That was well written.
The problem is that many people, including Generalites, complained about some of the topics being posted on NSG. That they were too lite or too much bent on 'socializing'. Hence we get F7. F7 is not a hard place to navigate. But many a Generalite won't do this, they won't give it the time of day. So yes, the place has become a separate community. But it's no fault of F7ners, I see them cross to NSG when they feel like debating. I consider myself a Generalite and I have no problems going from one board to the other. It seems the rest of NSG doesn't think the same way.
That'll be because your an obnoxious, vacuous, attention whore, but whatever.

I recall once hypothesizing that the average webforum has about three months of looking forward to how cool the future will be and nine months of moaning about how much better the previous three months were.
That said, for the past... year or two... apart from odd stretches every now and then I've found NS a good deal less entertaining than usual, and have been trying to offer suggestions for improving it. One of the reasons is a measurable decline (in terms of numbers of active posters/threads), but the "feeling" of the forum has changed, subtly but noticeably. So naturally I speculate wildly as to what could be causing it, since that's what we're supposed to do in threads like this, right?

It's not legitimate. NSG has always been like this. It has its peaks and valleys. The only "downhill" I see is that it's quite hard to read all threads posted in a reasonable amount of time before they grow to a considerable size.

Since the move here, there has been a thread like this about every 3 months, and each time there has been a consensus that there has been a general and noticeable decline in quality on NSG.
Each time the problem has been identified as a lack of a more relaxed, social, element to NSG, such as there was previously. Each time F7 has been identified as a potential cause of this. Each time those in charge have done fuck all about it, and each time a number of established posters have left in disillusionment as a result.

Trolling: Posts that are made with the aim of angering people. (like 'ALL JEWS ARE [insert vile comment here]' for example). While Trolls often make these posts strictly in an attempt to provoke negative comment, it is still trolling even if you actually hold those beliefs. Intent is difficult to prove over the internet, so mods will work under their best assumptions.
