[FISHTALES]

I think its had its ups and downs, it seems right now its in a "down". it does not seem like a little community anymore. plus (no disrespect to admin.) to many petty rules and such. but ill prob. be here for a while.

Oh ok.....so fit in or fuck off??

Unfortunately a lot of people have taken the second option. If you look at the names that people are mentioning, those 'popular posters' are barely here anymore.

I think you've taken what I said differently than intended.

I was refering to those that have left and the few that have changed their names because they don't want to admit to still posting here under their former names.

It's just a chat board and like people in your life they come and go and some people you become close to and others you do not, some stay around and some do not.

When you go to your favorite bar or restaurant and it changes - whatever the change and those that came and those that you hung out with are gone you may find yourself less comfortable there. While on the other hand some people are going to stay because they like the ambience and make of it the most that they can.

You think that all boards remain the same?

They all change - this board is the focus because it has been around a long time.

People change so why wouldn't the boards they post on change as well?

The question begs to be asked, if you don't fit in, why do you come here?
Seriously, it's not like high school, you don't have to attend.

1. Nobody said that I was referring to myself. There are a reasonable nuber of people here who I do fit in with.

2. I am rarely here anymore unless I am on holiday and have time to kill.......I am on holiday right now. The reasons that I dont bother anymore is that I have a life and I really dont find much of what I see particularly interesting.

I didn't mean you as in imoccasionallydutch, I meant you in the general sense.

Meaning anyone who feels like the boards gotten so horrible and they no longer fit in cuz all the good vets are gone. (Which isn't a symptom of the Ir0ntryb3 scam)

Ah ok.......

I guess when you have been at a board for a few years you stick around and hope it will change for the better.

I think older popular posters are just pissed off that they aren't the center of attention as they were 2-3 years ago....

I don't think it's better or worse just different but like everything time changes the environment...

like people in your life they come and go and some people you become close to and others you do not, some stay around and some do not....

exactly... AWESOME post...

also as to other common complaints by the oldsters:

less good posters, less older posters, too cliquey, intimidating for newbies, not many interesting new members recently

while I was lurking for like a year or two before posting, I thought it was intimidating, VERY cliquey, and a lot of inane bantering and non-interesting private discussions always going on...

things have not changed, just the people have... and they will continue to...

i like the dynamics of the board...change is good IMO
