I have to admit, it's starting to have run its course for me.

Maybe dragons took their jobs. Maybe unicorns only hid their jobs because unicorns are dicks. Maybe 'jobs' is only an illusion created by a drug addled infant pachyderm. Fuck dude, if we're in 'maybe' land, don't hold back.

You know, I think it was more along the lines of your presence here causing a marked drop in NS's collective intelligence.

Although, really, it's usually once every year or two (or sometimes more often) that we get a bunch of doomsayers talking about how SURELY, THIS TIME, NS is doomed to become a cesspit of memes and horrible RPing and how it's already on the path to becoming the new 4chan.
Funnily enough, people complain about basically the same things on 4chan. Although there it's usually trolling.
Actually that's not what is being said.
I have actually probably started a thread with a similar topic every year I've been here. Probably not the first or second. But I haven't actually felt that I was wrong. This place is stupider, and you could see the progression. We lose good poster after good poster to the burnout of dealing with idiots.

Sad times.
I will admit I'm highly disappointed by the apparent ban on all content that is vaguely sexual in nature.
But I'm even more disappointed by the fact that said content is also considered obscene in real life, so this forum's mods can hardly be blamed for it.

This forum still has pretty good quality. The only "going downhill" effects, I think, were the leaving of Cat-Tribe and Hammurab and the seemingly gradual yet continuous tightening of rules on the forum.
It used to be that we were told to "grow a thicker skin" if we got offended.
I haven't seen that phrase in I don't know how long.
It seems like taking a borderline opinion is, itself, nearly an expression of trolling or flamebaiting anymore, rather than the core of discussion.
Other than that, things are going ok.
