Besides a select few i have ceased to post on a handful of internet forums, i feel that ever since 4chan and all this /b/ crap that it's basically ruined a lot of them because the users that post there don't seem to make any effort anymore and constantly post meaningless bullshit. The influx of trolls in forums these days is atrocious, talk about ruining a place to exchange opinions and communicate/express different views on various subjects.. now it's all gone to shit you can't seem to have civil conversations anymore it's all /FACEPALM this that and the other it's fucking annoying to say the least, I can't seem to breakthrough these collectives of waste, really wish i could eradicate the fuckers who've done this.

Does anyone feel the same? That forums today are pretty well pointless with all trolls suffocating the system.

It's really just tiresome to deal with this shit anymore.

I only post in these forums. The Myspace forums are stupid.

I only look at/post to what I care about & ignore the rest. If I can be helpful & redirect someone, I do. If I care A LOT I subscribe to the rss feed & log off for a couple days.

lastdisciple: You are right. But here's the thing, with ANY system, especially the internet, you are going to find flaws, and eventually, the worse things and the 'waste' (trolls, meaningless posts, etc.) will only continue to grow.

And as sad and ridiculous as it is, that's the way it is. But I feel the same. I wish forums worked better than they do, but they don't. But then again, don't get too down about it; after all - it's just a forum.

I hear what you're saying and what happens to sites where the artist is on an extended leave or possibly in this case maybe done forever. The members get bored then all the little cliques and circles start fighting with each other than turn on each until there is nobody left.

All you really can do is just log off its only a site and its not the end of the world. I agree it was a lot more fun a while back but things change and things come to an end. If this ends something else will pop up and go away.

Haha i know it just fucking bites because where else can you get a bunch of people together and really talk about something in depth, rarely can i stick with my friends in real life and stay on a subject instead it's just a conversation full of A.D.D.

6-7 years ago it definitely wasn't as bad as it is now, this is why i love the NIN forum though i can actually make a thread like this and get constructive feedback instead of a bunch of douche bags flapping their arse holes.

he's right, niche forums are often small and dead, while the large ones end up bloated with whatever adjective you want to prescribe for them. I only post here, because it seems like this place is the happy medium. oh, and I like nine inch and the nails.
