The Pub has been boring lately 1
#21850434 - 06/24/15 01:13 PM (8 years, 7 months ago) |

Every time I log onto the Pub all I usually see are cop threads and discussion about racism. We used to have so many engaging discussions that evoked so many emotions from me. I would laugh, cry, but at the end of the day our discussions impacted me in some meaningful way.
Now it seems that things have changed. I come onto the Pub hoping to click on one interesting thread that will spark my interest. We all know that feeling, when you click on a thread with a topic that captures your attention and imagination and affects you in a personal way. These threads are the one's we live for. They are the one's we remember for years to come and create some kind of moment that we all share together and it is a magical thing.
Call me a cynic but I think that things are going in the wrong direction and I fear that it is only getting worse. If we have no engaging discussions old members are going to leave and the Pub is going to be a desolate and empty place. Sure, new members will join like always but they will quickly move on as well.
My hope is we can go back to the way the Pub used to be and maybe we can make it even better. I just ask everyone here to work really hard to bring things back up to how they should be because this is in the best interest of everyone. My question for you all today is if you have been noticing the Pub becoming boring lately and hopefully we can hash out some new ideas to make the pub fresh and engaging again.
Thank you.

Pray tell, how did it used to be? So you'd rather the Pub go back to the way it used to be, when every other thread was about the Grateful dead.. and you'd get banned for anything?

The Pub does seem more boring lately. Or maybe I'm just growing up.

You can only really discuss drugs to a certain point before the subject becomes dull... And sometimes I think there is a little too much thread cleaning..
Lets talk about white cops shooting unarmed black men or some tranny loving. 
Overall it is a really decent place to chat. There's a few cool cats here.

Can't really give you a time frame. I really shouldd've said "right now," because the pub has peaks and valleys of thread topic quality. We are currently in a valley.

Most of the interesting people have moved on and were replaced with bitter trolls or people on the verge of / in major addiction. Maybe I'm just growing up dunno. There used to be a lot of hilarity on here and now it's pretty boring.

I think it's because when the forum first emerged, there was such a need for it, it was booming. No one had the means to communicate so freely with so many people and therefore in such a accountable way about this stuff. You guys were pioneers. The original pilgrims Now there're 80,000 teks for everything and they're as finely honed as the community can allow.
Mainly, perhaps we've reached the cutting edge of where our current understandings as a culture can take us for now, so we don't have a REASON to talk as much. idk, I'm just blowing smoke, I just got here :P
Shrooms and LSD are so 60s, I'm going to the exclusive forum for bathsalt users/synthesizers. Say what you want, it NEVER gets dull in there!
EDIT: and idk about OTD, it feels like a bunch of the same crotchety old men so set in their dynamic that all that's left is bullshit and shit talk. How many meaningful conversations came from that pit?

Mushrooms got boring for me a long time ago. Tripping is just a phase white suburban middle class white boys go through from the ages of like 16-24 and then most people just move on with their lives.
The psychedelic experience section is littered with under age kids talking about psychedelics and the Pub is just the old dried up farts with nothing to talk about cause they spent their entire youth tripping. It makes for really bland discussion and the same discussions just get regurgitated.
I also have noticed a massive influx of posters around the twenty to three hundred post mark. It is a disturbing trend because it seems like there are a lot more new folk and the old timers are just done with this place and moving on. I figure I will get to that point soon cause most hippy discussions just make me pissed off anyways and ya I wish the Pub could go back to where it was a year or two ago when I first started posting here.
The golden age is long gone and what we have left is just people trying way too hard to think of interesting stuff to talk about, myself included, and it shows. Maybe we can start a Pub think tank and figure out what we need to do to end this snooze fest streak that has been a huge dark cloud over the Pub especially this summer. The cop hating circle jerk here is most definitely turning a lot of people off and the circle jerking in general here has gone overboard.
Those are just my thoughts I would like to hear what you guys think.

IMHO a big take home point with psychedelics is novelty. Now run with it.

its summer time, people have better things to do.
I can come up with lots of things to talk about, but people here don't like my point of view or perspective on a lot of things so I dont bother having serious discussions here.
because I see things differently, most dumb fucks in the pub will leave me shitty ratings rather than have an adult conversation about why they feel differently or disagree with the topic being discussed.. It's not worth it. So now I tend to keep most things to myself and avoid engaging with underage adult children who have no communication or coping skills.

If only mushrooms were a bit more addictive, people'd stick around! But until government studies by the FDA come out, there probably won't be an increased influx of new blood.
And I agree, I fit the profile and I really don't see myself using mushrooms again. It was about finding spirituality, exploring intellectual freedom, and seeing the world in a new way. Check, what's next? I do still enjoy shooting the shit with you fine folk, however.

Don't get me wrong, I love mushrooms! They'll always be an important part of my life. I was just saying that they're not the only reason I come here.

No, that was like '02.
I just find it humorous people who joined like 2 years ago are talking about the golden years of the pub.. not much has changed in the past 2-3 years, except tons more people and trolls. It has always gone in waves.

If I click on one interesting Pub in a day, I consider that a good day now. I used to be able to read an entire page of cool discussions and read at least ten good threads on any given day. Now I am lucky if that happens even once a week.

It comes and goes. It's nearly random, life is chaotic and a lot of people get distracted or busy. There seems to be a week or two of great discussion following these dey spells though. Just ride the wave.

This is the worst dry spell I have seen in all the years I have been here.
Honestly there are no funny memorable threads either. They just seem really forced and it never comes natural anymore. Maybe I am just nitpicking but we used to have such organic and engaging discussions and the compulsive circle jerk cop hate is just a major turn off for some people here.

Welcome to the Pub for the past like... 5 years or something. It goes in waves. It used to be you could make a thread in the Pub and it would still be in the top 10 threads like 2 days later. Now it's at the bottom of the list after a couple hours. Mostly flooded by inane posts. I'm kind of in the same boat as sprinkles.. I don't really genuinely express my opinion here any more or share my views, aside from trivial stuff or fuck the police or sharing news. No point really. I guess I'm jaded. Almost all my good friends left, I sometimes wonder why I still stick around.

Happens man, every user here is gonna have their own golden age. When this site was at its prime, all their favorite users were here and the discussions were always fresh. Its a totally subjective thing. Eventually youve talked about everything at least once, made some really close ties with people who dropped off. Watched the cliques around here cycle through a few times. Suddenly your the old guy in the corner talking about "the good old days". I could bounce back 8 years in the pubs threads. It really wouldnt be any different then today, and I have. Its all up to you to enjoy it or not, some people just grow out of it. Most do. This place has barely changed from what I can tell.

but anyway u know what really fucked up the pub worse than rule 4 was all the PC threads that started sprouting and caused , lots of jimmies were russled and even some feuds between members still remain today.
i tried to warn everyone, but no one ever listened. the pub aint the place to argue.
