I almost want to start posting regularly again just to watch the new people take things seriously.
Those of you who think the people here are mean to each other, and that's why the place is dying: You have short memories. When this place was at its most active it was one of the cruelest, nastiest sites I've ever been on. People were legitimately awful to each other. Not in a funny way.

In a way this place has been a weird social experiment on what happens if a bunch of teenagers are let loose on the internet without any sort of serious moderation. The moderators we did have, including the owners, were all teenagers as well at the time and it just turned into a clusterfuck. Over time we established this really weird, hostile culture. There were good discussions to be had but if shit went on, shit really went on. Some of the most heated discussions here must have really left a permanent mark on people, myself included.
