    Well Crasher is still a cunt so...

    Unmoderated this place would degenerate faster than a truck full of spastics.

    You have to know when and how far you can go off topic as well as how far you can push common decency. You will find those that feel over moderated often know none of this.

    No worries crasher at least a few of us keep talking no matter what.

    If it is true that there is less moderation, perhaps Mental you could do a campaign to bring the "old" people back and warm the place up a bit coz they won't feel so screwed now?

    Ronin threads always die when they get boring and past their use by date so I see no point them being consigned to PD. If they are still busy at that point then they must be still interesting to someone so why bother changing their status? That has always been my beef. While you think crasher still is one I don't reckon he's bad to have around here all the same.

    As for Katman, I'm a Hawkes Bay boy myself so he's probably OK too lol.

    I do. But people have things in their lives that meant they stepped away from KB (like having a baby or just getting a life) so coming back as much as they used to doesn't happen.
    Zen wisdom: No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously. - obviously had KB in mind when he came up with that gem

    AFAIK threads (or posts) only end up in PD if they are wildly of topic, offensive or in the case of anything by DB, both. I have seen I think 3 threads deleted in all the time I have been here. Trust me, in terms of other forums around, this is a free for all.

    Me either, I quite like the attitude these days, mind you there is SFA to get upset about, apart from the odd member that has a very small penis and needs to say disgusting things in order for his member to begin to get a semi...

    At the time Ixion was arguing that the "activeness" was killing the site. Maybe he had a point as he was being riddled with bullet holes.......

    Some Mods have always been attracted to passiveness. Over-zealous enforcement creates way too much work and generally only ever ends in tears.

    Although this is a member-driven site, the bottom line is that the Golden Rule applies.

    Yes, there has been a drop-off in the site's characters, some of whom are missed. People often go through stages in life's journey, which can include actively contributing to KB for a while, before moving on to other things. When this site was invented, there was no such thing as Facebook.

    A lot of discussions have also been had many times before, so there's little point in us Crusty Old Farts(TM) joining in on those... again. I only laugh at my own jokes twice.

    I think so. I don't do abuse though, which occasionally limits my punchline choices.

    I handed out some, and got plenty back! Wouldn't have it any other way.

    The Remedy

    .........if all those that tell the protagonists to 'fuck off' stop telling the protagonists to 'fuck off' then the protagonists wouldn't 'fuck off' and the site would be as it used to be..(to some)...it hasn't changed that much from where I sit. Its just that the protagonists have cleared off or have been banned.......but thats what the 'people' wanted right?
    All that needs to happen is for 1-2 to say that the site has changed , and to some (if not most) its just easier to agree.

    ...in essence.......be kind to the protagonists, let them be, they are a big part of the 'fun times'.

    The one or two that are still around have gone soft and wained to the many.
    Why?...because thats what the many want...and thats what the many get.
