So here's my overview: We reworked the layout of the site and retired a lot of old folders. Toonami and [as] got merged and were elevated into a main folder (instead of sub-boards), and other media folders were consolidated or retired. But most notably, we replaced the sort-of-asmb-themed Noise folders. People associated them with the old folders and self-sorted, and it just kind of sucked as an experience with the drama and turf wars. So instead, now we have a vanilla "Current Events" folder (it's a peppier news folder without the inherent negativity of rants) and a catch-all "General Discussion" folder for anything without its own section plus conversational stuff (it's a more higher-minded replacement of old FFA). So that's like the "public square" of things where everyone intermingles, and the flip side is that people now have membership-based "private communities" for that underlying desire to self-sort and enjoy separate experiences. The two most notable are the IB club, which is basically an OG IB-style commune folder where people can post all the most absurdist or silly shitposts they want, and the Thunderdome which is a more true-to-form successor to old DF that pooh runs for real instead of as a meme. It's been slow during the transition (though it was slow moving into it) but I think that on the whole it's been a positive shift. More folks are starting to pop back in (and more importantly, stick around) and sitewide activity has gone up too.

absotively posolutely I think this was the thread where he got called out on it: https://unevenedge.com/topic/31172-james-gunn-publicly-posted-photos-of-himself-at-pedophile-themed-to-catch-a-predator-party/ (it also has link to the original meltdown thread via the quotes)

you know what that means, right?

you've certainly missed a lot. just in terms of big elections, that's the end of 2016, the roy moore special/bucket meltdown extreme, 2018, 2020, 2022. by my math, asmb was around for 13 years and uemb is already at six and a half years.

I have a thing about the sensation of wet hair touching other surfaces (other than like when drying off with a towel), just gives me the heebie jeebies. So by the time my hair is dry enough, it's irrelevant.

Be careful! I was on dilaudid when I had e. coli in college. The morphine wouldn't touch the pain so they jumped me to the heavy stuff and it hit real hard... at first. Within the span of four days, I went from completely glassing over when they shot it into the IV to being able to immediately get up and jump on the IV bag stand after giving it a good push and riding it to the other end of the room. The nurses were so concerned that they immediately tried to downgrade me to hydro pills and after I said the pills weren't enough, they gave me one last shot of dilaudid that night and said I can't leave the hospital until I affirmatively told them I don't need it anymore. In hindsight, their concern was probably the difference between me and the opioid epidemic.

I think it could be a good idea to have like a dedicated hangout thread or club with the retro theme, depends on what the content would be. Obviously no one is actually RPing, but like to have a thread where you metaphorically pull up to the metaphorical bar to talk about _______ could be cool. Probably makes sense to do a thread in GD and if it blew up into something large and/or unmanageable then it'd expand into a club space and divied into multiple threads. But a single thread to start is probably a cool idea, @romana said so so it's gotta be true.
