Well, I'm glad that I'm getting some favorable responses, but yea, stepping back and looking at it as myself and not as the exaggerated character I am on the boards, I guess I'd just be better off being myself.

GB IS getting full of crap, and the way I see it is, I didn't realize I was guilty of posting crap as well until I stepped back and realized that it was only getting crappier. So from this point forward I was just going to drop all semblance of character or trying too hard to be funny.

The biggest problem is that most people off the pike read only the first couple of pages (if that) of GB and figure that's the way things work around here, and start posting complete shit, figuring it's representative of the whole site. Yes, most of us noobs are guilty and are learning, and admittedly it took some of us awhile to catch on, but the newerbies who can't be arsed to look at more than the first page of GB are just going to repeat the cycle of shit.

So I agree, maybe there should be Gay Up forum, because I don't think I'd like to see the mods suddenly act all god-like, it makes them less approachable and in some cases you'd see a LOT more ass-kissing.

I like the board mainly because away from GB, I AM myself and not the character, and I find the mods and admins like RoG and Protoclown approachable and helpful when needed, and if they suddenly started deleting threads or posts it would diminish that.

Maybe all newerbies should be required to read the whole site and not just General Blabber, or maybe for the people that lurk before they join, add a "Members Only" posting rule for GB itself but let all the other forums be openly accessible to anyone. That might encourage more reading of the rest of the boards.
