I do. Some people take this online stuff way too seriously. They crave the attention and self-importance that I presume they don't get from other aspects of their lives. When they tend to not be the focus or be in the "spotlight", they get ticked off. I mean isn't that kind of why that ASMB they had last year sucked big time? Sure, there weren't any folders and that was a major problem but you literally had like the same 5-6 posters talking about the same BS over and over and over again. It wasn't constructive, amusing or entertaining. To me as someone who was looking at it from the outside in, it just seemed like a bunch of deranged maniacs bagging on each other for no particular reason (or maybe they had a reason...and even if they did...is a message board really the place to kind of vent those frustrations out on others?). It's like these same individuals always seem to stir up the pot and then play it off like other people are the ones that are causing the problem. When in actuality, it really was/is still the other way around. It's like if you're so miserable or disgruntled about the state of this board or the Admin[/member] or other users then just leave. I mean is it really worth it (I mean if you get your jollies off of that, more power to you) but it just seems like a wasted exercise to me.
To me this message board is really just about getting your mind off your every day routine and possibly sharing a laugh or two with some people. Most of the users here are pretty cool and friendly but if you don't want to acknowledge that or be a part of that, that's on you then. I think regardless of the vocal minority, this place is going pretty well (except the lag issue obviously )....we got along fine before the complainers came and we'll get along fine after they leave. So here's to UEMB, FFA, IB or whatever you wanna label this place
