A former poster (actually more than one, as it ended up being a shared account), but an oversimplification - DT was one account (ayelewis was another) among many (some of them were on the "Manly Movies" forum for a while) that were pretty much just lulz spammers. They weren't there to really discuss any topic on any forum, they'd just roll through and squat on forums for a while, spamming crap non-stop. The "some people just like to watch the forum burn" types. That didn't destroy the forum in and of itself, though. After a couple of weeks of the whole first page being nonsensical lulz spam, it just made some of the more discussion-minded types find homes elsewhere. ^ What he said. Wasn't there also some doxxing involved with the DT guys? more than likely dt's mommy sold the family home and his basement 'dream-condo' went with it. he was one of many spam trolls who decided that if they couldn't have a penis at least they could stroke a keyboard.

poppycock.
this board and others like it will live on as long as humans have inquiring minds and they want to share ideas with each other.
now that i think about it. with a man like trump in power and the pink triangles being manufactured in a church basement near you. truth may have to go underground like in world war (insert your favorite # here).
homosexual agenda will form secret teams to plant pansy baskets at the doorsteps of the 'crucial' government agencies we've created since we invaded the middle east and started the whole fiasco.
and as for poetry. oh, it shall go on as long as there are hearts yearning to set each other free. . . :-)

Why wasn't 'Banning unpopular posters' on the list?
I think this forum is a good example of why hated people are somewhat necessary. A bunch of people stroking their own shafts gets boring quickly.
Yes, I'm saying bring back all those who have been silenced, let people use the ignore function like grown ups.

I was thinking more of "popular" posters being banned (like AJ)... but... I just forgot to add it.

Maybe it's mental failures like this that led to this boards downfall? ..If only Ada were here... she'd whip us all up into a frenzy of posting bliss.

I actually had one that just said "Ada"... but, I changed it... I was never big on the whole "Ada" thing... I turned that one into the "Too Frustrating" one... which I totally misspelled.

Who or what is DT?

After a couple of weeks of the whole first page being nonsensical lulz spam, it just made some of the more discussion-minded types find homes elsewhere. Define lulz spammers, please? I don't know that acronym.

-Less posters -The shit stirrers (Ada and Blade) aren't here -Pretty much every religious topic has been discussed to death (objective morality, Pascal's Wager, Watchmaker Argument, God of the Gaps, intelligent design, etc)
I tried to avoid the Politics Board for the longest time, but it's become a better alternative to this board.

If you think this board has died, check out the I Need To Know board. On the Internet Movie Database it was quite active. Now, on this site, it's like a ghost town.

I also post mostly on the politics board, more traffic. BUT I REFUSE TO EVER LOWER MYSELF TO THE LEVEL OF POSTING IN 'THE SOAPBOX'.

Yeah, I said way back when that this place would be much duller without the Adas and Blades of the world. Every superhero film needs its villains, every message board needs its shit-stirrers. One of the reasons Politics is so active is because they've got a good-sized handful of shit-stirrers.

An unlisted reason - politics in the USA right now are more problematic than religion is. I always thought that if humans could deal with the reality of existence without the crutch and divisiveness of religion, humanity might have a chance to advance to a higher quality of life. But the lunatic wild card in the White House has presented us with more divisiveness and a more volatile environment. So I am more concerned about the dangers of political strife, which encompasses religion to a degree. So the politics board has become of more concern.
Edit: Additionally, the adversarial attitudes presented by both theists and atheists. What if there was a thread just for theists, so they as a group could talk about why they like religion, and a thread just for atheists, so they as a group could talk about why they like atheism? Everyone would be adults and not cross the lines to attack the other. There are plenty of other threads for that.
Thoughts?
