I'm having a bit of a Pub comedown

It could be that I've been clean for 2 months or the fact that the world is going to hell in a handbasket but..
The Pub mostly fails to entertain lately.
Not as much the lower turnover but, qualitative.
Its umm.. both less shroomy and less unshroomy if that makes sense.
Are y'all doing OK in your lives?
I'm doing a lot better than I did and notice a dissonance.

Yeah, no shit. WE are the customers and you don't listen to us and our requests so people leave the boards. Then it gets boring. Congrats!

Probably because you thin skinned idiots banned almost every single person that made this place worthwhile over the years. In your pursuit to create this sterile little hug box where nothing off color EVER happens you've created a wasteland that nobody wants to participate in. The drama, flaming and trolling was literally the best thing about this place, but the admins in their infinite wisdom couldn't handle any of that, and instead opted to ban top posters left and right over the years.
So this is what you're left with. Whatever cockroaches filter through the door now and a few old timers that are still hanging on.
Hope you're proud.

Kind of like being able to walk and so many other things

It's strange

Wouldn't have said it if I havent experienced it
It's strang , it's one of this things that hits you like a brick wall

It's wise to prevent it but that wont help
cherish this moment it will be gone soon

It's obviously because I haven't been posting as much. I apologize

Yeah, I'm sure it's totally because we banned some racist white supremacist wife beaters who now hang out on storm front. What a great loss to our community, kicking out all those poor wife beating white nationalists. What a negative impact not having more wife beaters and white nationalist pussies has had on our forum.
We could always unban sheekle... Just a thought.

There's quite a few perma banned members over the years who I miss. Many just got out of hand one time and broke a shroomery commandment, rather than being flaming and bigoted fucktards. Now they're history. Doesn't matter how many posts you have or what you've contributed to the site over how many years, rules are rules... according to rulebooks.

When I lived in Canada it was illegal but I smoked all the time in the public. As did everybody else.
God I miss CA, and I have no desire to smoke weed.

The pub isn't much different these days imo it's less active though. The banned users thing though is a valid point. It takes all kinds to make a community, especially one dedicated to the misfits. Look at Sheekle. He's a great example. Everyone wants him back, even if there's a valid reason he's gone. But let's be honest the dude was a massive troll. The site has become less tolerant. The moderation, the staff. Maybe some new moderators would help, I don't know. I do know that it's been pretty obvious and kind of sad watching some of my favourite posters slowly turn themselves into something they aren't so they can fit into some idea of what the ideal poster is supposed to be. Some of that is the social atmosphere, some of it isn't. Sheekle being banned was an immediate reaction from me, "Yep the site is never gonna be the same again." And I was right. The only other time I had a similar reaction was sVs being banned for catelogueing the pedophile posts with the users that made them. The moment you guys perma'd a dude for pointing out that one guy talks about hooking up with 14 year olds and another said she'd fuck her son if she had one, you stopped making bans a childish game and started letting it be really used as a tool that can be easily abused and misused. It's the difference between "Go home, you're drunk" and blacklisting them for offending softskins. Moderation in a healthy community isn't janitorial work it's peacekeeping and nurturing. There's nothing nuturing about treating someone like a lost cause, even if sometimes that's the only thing to do
