Stick around please. Ive only been on here for a few years, but I have seen the changes you are referring to. I have a good feeling even that then it wasn't the shroomery's hey-day. There are two things that can be done... Start a new forum...or work with me to change this one. I can't imagine this place getting any worse, its in a seriously low trough. But I can imagine it getting better. I don't think people realize how crucial the internet is. How crucial message boards like this can be as well. If used for the right reasons, this place can be incredible. Its a tool like any other. It can be a source of hilarity, and information. But all this stuff can go sour. Like it has. In a very subtle, but real way, this is an extension of real life. it is real life. There is a lot of pointless, direction-less nonsense here. I wish it were more possible to post anonymously throughout the whole board.
One prob. with p&s is that some things don't need to be belabored to death. Some things are better said with simplicity. Not everything needs a retort or comeback. or even a...yeah man, thats like so true. Thanks, you killed it. I never post in there.
Just bear with it, don't give in to trivial shit.(I'm not directing this at you anon11, its all in a general direction.
Anyway, this place is going to change only if people like you fight back, but skillfully and tactfully. It will work. Another thing, in case you haven't noticed, for the most part, its those with the highest post counts that are bringing this place down.
