You pretty much hit the nail on the head. BuF has indeed gone downhill since I came here a few years ago (but it didn't start then, it started maybe six months or a year ago.) What's the point in replying to the majority of the trash here? This forum used to be interesting most of the time. Nowadays, threads/posts that are actually well-thought and well-typed are few and far between. Some threads start off well, and quickly get turned into rubbish by the dumb crowd (Yes, dumb. You're not nearly as funny as you think you are.)
If you bring the problems up, like we just did, it's likely people are going to tell you "then find somewhere else." That's part of the problem.
So recently I was thinking... why not just find somewhere else? So I did. And now I rarely check this forum, let alone post in it. I still hang around #fragbu pretty regularly but I'll probably stop checking in there soon. It's getting more and more like BuF every day; lines upon lines of meaningless "let's all try to insult each other and be funny" bull****.
If you post a philosophical question on an internet forum, does it make you a zen master?If a tree falls in the woods, and there's nobody to hear it, does it make a sound?
If a person stops posting on an off-topic internet forum, and there's nobody to read it, is it tl;dr?
I had to get you to come back, pine.I will say, however, that there's a reason I've kept posting here since 2001 and it has to do with the overall consistent high quality of this forum and website. Leave BuF for awhile and post on another forum, then come back and compare the two. Chances are good that this forum will compare favorably.
Oh, and BuF has always had its ups and downs. The longer you're here, the more likely you are to think that the new wave is a bunch of garbage and the days back when you first registered were the good ol' times. I would just recommend taking this stance: The good ol' days don't exist. The internet evolves, BuF evolves, the people that post here evolve. If you wish things were different, work at making positive contributions yourself, or if you think it's beyond help, find another forum.

You people just take things too seriously. There are the serious threads with the serious discussions, and there are the funny threads where we all make fun of each other. And its the inside jokes in those said funny threads that make this place worthwhile.
