In fairness, as much as I disliked Mantown, wasn't it severe tech problems, tensions between admins and the lack of a legit vbulletin license what ultimately shut that place down?

Exactly. I was a member of FBA since the beginning, and this place and the people here are nothing like that place was. Except for maybe fake user names and people stirring shit.

More so Inky never ran it really(his famous words are 'I don't give a shit), Doug obviously stopped caring, so you had a ton of Indians w/ buttons and no chief to lead them. It was a cluster fuck of over zealous button pushers moving, deleting, editing, and doing verbal warnings in bold size 8 yellow fonts constantly. I hated Gaz on there, but get along w/ him fine here. I later learned he was basically the only mod there who defended me.

My whole point was that there's way too many lame board fights over stuff on the board, way too many threads about posters on the board, and way too much overanalyzing of stuff on the show to the point where it's borderline creepy.

Leave the overanalyzing for the Lost thread.

What is really scary is there are boards out there even more venomous than FBA. There are fucked up nasty people in this world, and they all seem to gravitate to the net.

See, this is what got me in so much trouble @ FBA. I would call this dumb shit out constantly. Like for example, how many tripping over your own dicks Katja threads does this place need? We get it, people like Katja, do we REALLY need 4 threads about it in 4 different forums?

That's my story and I'm sticking to it. But really, bitching gets no where, so I just go with the flow here.

It is not fully FBA until Mikey tosses me the keys, and I burn the place down, deleting it member by member, forum by forum, until, poof, it's gone. Smartest thing that doug ever did.

Don't think it's that, this place has been acknowledged by the show for ages. If it was an attention whore problem it would have been in place from the start.

Maybe it's something in the air, like love, pollen, a dingy acme plastic bag, or a hummingbird fluttering in the breeze sucking on some sweet nectar.

Mikeyboy's right, though (as always).

The FBAesque stuff isn't coming from the people who came here from there.

Part is from new members, part is from people who have been here forever, and part is an influx of people that I'd almost guarantee are coming from Wackbag via the link to this forum on their main page.

im just gonna pick this one post instead of going through every one. (and this isnt really directed at you dave, sry, its just a general hey hey) also, expect possible incoherance. and if you say its too long to read guess what? youre like fba in another way too lol

fba and dot net are pretty much the same. sorry kids, but thats the way it is. same kind of haters, same kind of thread starters, same kinds of people. i joined both boards at the same time, and guess what? fba was soooooo much more kinder to newcomers than .dot was then, and seems to still be, compaired to how net is now. its also funny that dot net seems to complain about alot of shit. this board is fucking complainy as hell. why pick on fba for being venomous lol its almost as if you just hearing shit and not having personal experience. of course there is no board now to have experience so all you have is hearing shit. its like a bad breakup and all you are remembering is the bad stuff so you disparage it to make yourself feel better about where you are.

i thought about things like that and decided to give dont net another try, and found 2 years later it was as snobby and as insular and non welcoming as ever. the listening thread was not welcoming, people saying shit like the fba people that are here are 'the good ones' lol. i wont get into things like thread deleting and over modding and sig limitations cause thats how ya wanna run it so hey. i decided to hang around anyway cause a few fba buddays have been led here and ive made some new friends here as well, so fuck it. you find the coolness in the wackness.

anyway, ramble ending time, fuck it. you try and have a good time with what you got, hold up the mirror, shut up and do something instead of complaining. now who wants ice cream?

I was a big FBAer up until 2-3 months before it imploded. Struff changed some topics and I went ape shit, got a temp banning, and then 2 weeks before it died I left FBA.

There is a difference between FBA and .net; .net has people who actually care about it running. At FBA you had Struff and one other asshole trying to censor the board so O&A may recognize it again. This led to a ton of infighting, pissed off people, and some of us left.

This place does not censor or act all wackbagish like FBA was doing making .net a better place to express yourself.

FBA might have still been around if it wasn't for the repeated crashing of the site

for those that don't know, the website would crash and 3 months of posts would be lost at a time. The first time it happened was when the site was fresh and eveyrone was eager to rebuild. The second time it happened people just tolerated it. The 3rd time it happened was right after the board was redone to have a bunch of new forums (which a lot of people) dug and the board was back to square 1. that made most people leave. The last time was the time the board died

but i remember hearing .net-ers say they wouldn't ever post on FBA because it was scary and mean but if they can tolerate this board as it is today than FBA would've been a piece of cake, if not more embracing.


I remember one thing we did that might help alot of the problems is we'd have a thread that we'd move asshole posts into. So if someone was being negative or a dick or ruining a thread, we'd just take those posts out and put it into a giant thread that people could read or not. So we weren't censoring in that anything could stay up there but we were keeping the threads on topic and hopefully keeping the board fun and easier to read

just throwing that idea out there
