things IMO are no different than they always have been…maybe you’re just noticing it more now since you “have to” as a mod? :gotme: the only difference i’m noticing is the large rush of n00bs that just came outta nowhere in the past couple months or so…most of which really really do suck, badly…to the extent that many of the already established users are having a hard time believing such people even exist in the real world…that kind of suck. i know it’s been tossed around and mentioned, the possibility of a screening process for n00bs, but that would require way more manpower and time than this forum probably has available to it… and OT: thank you Zong for the thread save… > [@Zong](#): > > OT: check this out > > [http://www.break.com/index/swing-backflip-goes-bad.html](http://www.break.com/index/swing-backflip-goes-bad.html) ---

this thread is actually a great example: Mod posts question, “why is everyone so crabby lately?” People from all corners give a number of reasons, and thread eventually “spirals into bullshit”, thread eventually gets locked - even though its in OT. :gotme: ---

people being crabby could also be because of the recent bullshit that happened with xbox live… cant pwn n00bs in COD so they come on here and start shit? ---

It doesn’t help that the newest mod probably has the worst A.D.D. of anyone on here and it takes almost nothing to lead him off the original path of the thread. Yes Fry, I’m talking about you and the Blazing Saddles post. 😉 ---

I just caught up on the posts to read about me in another thread of course, but jesus people… I’ve obviously been targeted by several board members on here lately. It sucks when it gets to the point where I can’t even make a thread nor comment on a post. Fry is right when he says everyone is getting crabby on here. It’s sad to see so many threads close because you guys insist on driving the drama train into threads and filling them with useless bullshit. If I told newman he was ugly everytime he posted something with substance and – if everytime zwarbyt posted in General Automotive –I put up a picture of a fat cow – I think it’d get pretty old and annoying after a while. If you don’t like what I have to say, please don’t comment. Put me on ignore. Enough is enough. I believe that every person who has gotten engaged/married on this board posted it and asked for help with vendors etc. So, we do the same thing and get shit for me because you all are miserable or what? It’d be nice to have help from people in the area who have gotten married there already. I moved away and I love it - I’m sorry most of you are still in Buffalo but please don’t take your misery out on me Thank you for the people that have been PM’ing me commenting on things I posted and giving me some insight on my wedding plans. /end ---

I have a range rover. I have a lift in my garage. I have an STi. I am an engineer… I have, I am, I have, I am, blah blah blah… Every time i find the need to interject some random fact that EVERYONE ALREADY KNOWS about myself, then you can compare. The reason people haven’t commented on the fact that you live in Vermont, or how cool it is that you’re getting married, or how big your ring is… it’s not because they didn’t see it, it’s because no one cares. Seriously. No one cares. Posting it over and over is not going to increase our care level. ---
