sheekle is lost in rosy coloured nostalgia. He is the one that ruined the pub.
Like come on people complain how the pub is dying and horrible. Its a messageboard, shit changes. culture changes. What we need is less americans and more international cultured people. Guarentee you that would make the pub INFINITY better

I agree on more foreigners, but sheekle is awesome.
What ruins the pub is cynicism, negativism and deliberately rubbing people the wrong way to upset them. Sheekle is the exact opposite of those three things.

Trust me I'm a member since forever here. Things get worse, they explode and then something new and better emerges.
When something becomes too Yin, the receding it will turn into a Yang, the becoming.
Fan the flames in your own way. Dont be part of the problem. Dont troll or raise hell. Help people, give them love, turn the other cheek, chime in a moderator if you need an airstrike from a staffer.
Its OUR Shroomery. All of us. Take it back. Love the hate out of the haters.
That was my point, we can't go around banning every troll and shit poster that pops up.
Or making countless posts about how the pub is falling apart.
It is the same as before, and they same it will always be.

Than why not make posts about how awesome, kind and genuine the community is?
Rather than being cynical.

I feel like the problem is that all the conversations have gotten fixated on the "culture war", people are getting more vocal about their politics and more argumentative, there's more of a focus on "winning" arguments with people who disagree with you about any number of hot button issues than there is on just chilling, sharing stories, interesting information, etc.
It's a sign of the times. This site is primarily used by Americans and we are currently at each other's throats over a lot of things. To some extent I think some of these issues should be talked about, and debate should be had when it's educational, but people need to not always take it too personally, and to remember to relax and have fun. You don't need to respect all of somebody's opinions to enjoy their contributions and presence.

See this is the thing. why does this happen. im seriously asking this question, why does every american on this forum need to relate everything to them. Its not "foreigners" its called other people. America doesnt own shroomery. Why does every american need to exclude everyone else in there discussions but using specific language. All of you cant help yourself but do it. You could have easily said

It's an America-centric community. I'm pretty sure it was founded in America, its servers are located in America, and it's most popular among Americans. Therefore, issues which are important to Americans commonly get discussed and debated here.

They are arming themselves to the teeth, buy ammo faster than they can produce it, get ever more extremist.
Another civil war. First government vs people, then everybody vs everybody, man against man.
Just wait and see, it will be a tragedy before it gets better. Then it will get a lot better.

I really hope you're wrong about this but if it does go down it would be ugly as fuck.

complaining about shitposting is shitposting in itself. This entire thread is filledwith shit posts, talking about it isnt solving the problem. Banning sheekle and other posters who just pump out inane shit all day like coaster would be a great start.

Asante isn't American. This just goes to show that it isn't just Americans who act the way you're complaining about Americans acting.
Quote:

Actually, it just happened to Asante, so it doesn't "only happen to people from america."
You blame Americans for acting a certain way, but then you just assume that people are American. That's kindof self reinforcing.
Americans are just like everyone else. If everyone on here was English or Australian, there would be the exact same stuff, but centered on England, Australia, etc.
