Et tu, 4chan? Et tu?

I'm done with the BBS. Canas said it right, go read his speech again if you want to know why I'm leaving. But, let me just put a little personal touch on it.

I'M BORED.
This is such a mediocre forum. You'd think a forum with dozens of mods and a clear outline of the rules wouldn't suck so much. But no, all that did was send us into a horrific state of mediocrity. People are rarely funny, or interesting. The only thing that ever gets discussed is video games and everything else that can actually be discussed just ends up as a shouting match. I hate it.

I see so many threads about what some punk did during his day. How he pwned this bully at school, or how he can't get a girlfriend or who the fuck cares what else. The userbase as a whole is so horrifically dull.

Can we talk about a cool old game that we enjoyed? Can we talk about Chowder or Avatar or some cool new anime? Maybe you guys found a cool website that you'd like to share?

And it's not like we can just post some funny pictures and have a good laugh. We've tried that. All that happens is that someone posts the kitty sniper over and over.

I'M AWESOME
Not to brag, but I am considered one of the funniest users on the forum. Few reasons why this isn't a good thing.

Nobody gets my jokes. I can't make a joke about some anime series without some fagot popping in to tell me that anime sucks. I can't make a joke about a video game without someone asking me what game it's from. And I can't make a joke period without running the risk of being banned.

And if I'm the funniest person on the forum... A "master creator," then what does that make the rest of you? I'm here to be entertained, not to be glorified. I don't care about stats or post count or honor, I just want to be entertained...

I'M DISGUSTED WITH YOU
Read these reviews. Read all of them, because I did. I can't take this. You're all so terribly fickle. God, I make one of the biggest splashes in the Flash Portal in 2005 and then I make ONE JOKE of a flash and I get swarmed like I'm the anti-Christ. At first it was funny, but then the reviews just kept coming.

Even on the BBS people just love to act like idiots. This is terrible.

And everyone acts so defensive. Like they need to be cool. Like they have something to prove. I have a feeling that most people are here to become popular, not to have fun.

I'M BANNED
I'm sick of being banned. I've been here for 2+ years and have 15,000+ posts, I know how things are supposed to go down. Bans should be reserved for idiots who are blatantly breaking the rules on purpose. The folks who post the same shit over and over again or don't listen to other people telling them to stop.

God, whatever happened to locks? Why not just give me a warning? Tell me that you don't like what I'm doing. The mods are so damn subjective, I don't know who's going to ban me for what. Just tell me that this thread wasn't good, or that I shouldn't do something. I'm actually a pretty smart fellow.

I'M GOING
To another forum. One where there are more people like me. I don't care if you don't like it, I love it there. They don't lump everything into a General forum. If I don't want to be bombarded with shit about video games, I can go to another section and talk about cartoons.

I'LL MISS YOU
Some of you guys are great people. You make me laugh, you make me think, and you've made me enjoy the past couple years on this forum. You know who you are. If one of you would be so inclined to make a thread about this on the BBS, be my guest.

Goodnight and good luck.

Three days for making a video game topic.

BANNED FOR MAKING A VIDEO GAME TOPIC. ON NEWGROUNDS!?

And it was funny! I swear!

Seven more responses still pending.

Steal a lie.

Would it be so hard for you to understand?

I personally don't think I deserved this one. I spent a while typing up my responses in that thread. I actually had a pretty engaging conversation about the effects of 4chan on the BBS.

Then the topic gets destroyed, and I get hit with a three day ban. The topic really turned around after the first page too...

I'm really sick of being banned. Do they know who I am? AshfordPride? Creator of Phoenix Wrong? Longtime contributor to the BBS of meaningful material? On the internet?

Ringing any bells?

Surely you can let me in the nightclub, mister bouncer...

No? You haven't heard of me?

W-well it is on the internet...

O-ok...
