Do you have something against sinking ships? It is hard to stay afloat when you have as much heavy armor as I do. I can't help it. :(

I'm going to say... probably.

TET definitely used to be. TETs would last like a week.

That's definitely a positive though. While we did lose a few posters during the big lock, the slow down is really more of a successful routing out of the spammier elements of the thread. You can have an actual conversation in here now.

( and remember I am not a fan of safe spaces, but as a narrowly tailored specific thread I do see the benefits).

Homosexy?


That's the kid, I knew her by her name before thst which still escapes me. She was a sweetie.
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

You mean the constant toxicity and depressed bullshit banters? Yes, we lost that and I say good riddance.

I just overall think that NSG will soon enter a new phase, as it always does. Once summer hits, between the trolls, some new people lookin for a place to talk about politics after Trump will wash up here, and thus things will begin again.

NSG is definitely not thinking. I remember someone suggesting it was ages ago* and as you can tell by not remembering who it was, they were clearly wrong.

I've been in death spiral forums, they look and feel very different. If you know Astrolinium, bring up the ROC/DAB with him, I'm sure he'll agree with me.

During TET's faster-paced days, I used to get literally tired from keeping up. That's how fast the damn thing moved.

I spend about 8 hours a day on NS. Is that bad?

Well it depends on whether you're just parked in front of a computer for those eight hours, I suppose. I just browse on my phone when I've nothing else to do. Probably looks like I never log out. :p

There's also product shelf life. How long until NS is no longer a viable product. I'm simply clean amazed it is still a thing.

Best TET, is page 5000 TET, all others are pretending.

But if I posted in here more regularly since the "break up" I'd probably agree.

Mostly it is during work hours in between things needing to be done. At home I tend to flit between other things online and NS.
