Internet forums are disappearing because now it's all Reddit and Discord. And that is worrying

Who's deciding what has merit in the goofy section of the forum where people are asking if they'd have sex with midgets, celebrate the deaths of others, call black people c00ns, call black women bedwenches, etc.?


This sites traffic dropped lile 77 percent from like 20 million visits this year. People take their cliques and form little enclaves outside of the forum, post less and then someone who isn't interesting fills the void and traffic continues to fall.

And you haven’t thought….’hmm, maybe the drop is due to right wing narratives and “bedwench” shyt already proliferating here’?



Like bnew said, less moderation would lead to this being Elon’s twitter status

No I never thought that. We've always had posters who took politics more serious then others on both sides and we used to just duke it out in the forum for that topic.

At some point someone over there got tired of the back and forths and decided to just start banning or limiting posters for their opinions and those refugees came to The Locker Room. They were followed by the people they were arguing with over there and heavier moderation came to more sections of the forum.

There are currently many coli Discord's filled with active posters and banned posters. When this shyt finally go down the tube's, that's gonna be the next pivot and the same thing will happen there with more moderation.

Ultinately the site is about making money so how you gonna ban people when you can't register new posters.

No bullshyt.

I bought reddit as an expensive ipo.

It has gone up thirty dollars or so.

Since launch.

We should try to do the same thing.

We have more daily activity in thread than reddit.

Redditbus kinda dead as fast growth all because they do not have a daily brain trust being discussed. Plus no activity Day to fay.

We have the most relevent consistent dialogue heavy motion.
offany site on the web...time to make us better than reddit for real.

Can you screenshot Cooley High?

I remember vividly how the BET segment had a show looking back and the director for Cooley High said the light skin girl had passed.

I believe her cousin or some family member disputed that and posted her recent pic with a daughter that looked just like her.

I also remember a lot of actors posted on that site and were generally very receptive to speaking on the movie/s they worked on.
