Can I point out to the OP that he is on the internet? If you want an intellectual conversation, go to a debate class. Now, I have been on many forums in my day and I have only seen 2 where people actually have decent conversation with each other, and they would be here and a forum that I am a mod at.
But with the last of the 90's kids in high school and the newer generation growing up, things are going to change. The IQ of the internet is going to go down, just cause I've seen some of the stuff that they teach kids these days...so, it's in our best interest that we accept these changes...cause they are going to happen regardless of what we want.

I find it interesting that so many people seem to feel insulted at the OP. It isn't as if he is calling anyone out by name. The reactions of some show me the attitudes they have to the forum. I don't know, it's just interesting, is all.
i'm not saying every thread has to be, but how would it hurt to have an intellectual discussion happen more than once in a blue moon?maddawg IAJI said:
plus, i don't believe that genuinely curious people would make threads about what x you like the best, because their curiosity would drive them further behind things. they'd be interested in the inner workings of people or objects, not of shallow things such as what people like to drink or wear or eat. why do i say this? because i am one of the genuinely curious people.
You know Necroswan got baned for something very much like this, tread carefuly when insulting the community, but lets get on topic.
You complain that the forums getting worse yet you don't even bother to capitalize properly, if you really think things are getting worse then use the report button and try to be better yourself, thats what I do. Like Fire Daemon said, simply saying there is a problem doesn't solve anything.

Well, it's fine looking at the big one in the center. That one doesn't hurt (unless you cast spells, in which case that eye will figuratively emasculate you).NoMoreSanity said:
It was. I stopped posting there after a while due to RL events (studying abroad), and never really got back into it, which I'm kinda sad about. I've been meaning to transplant some of the forum games I remember from there over to here. Then again, I think I'm still technically a member of the <url=http://web.mac.com/homernet/OotB/Home.html>Order of the Bunny, which was connected to...suddenly, I don't want to explain any more, and am inexplicably filled with shame.
<color=white>On the other hand, I think that site has the only known picture of me on the internet, if a somewhat outdated one (back when I didn't have a goatee).
the reason for me asking was because the forums i spoke of were more specialized into branches. obviously if you go into such a branch, you'll find discussion more biased towards interests of that branch. a programmer's forum would speak more about programming than of other things, as would a designer's forum of design. if you had any more specific interest than just a general statement such as gamer (not taking into account your profession or other interest), then i could probably help you find some better ones.scifidownbeat said:
I wasn't defending him, just stating that he hasn't said 'X is ruining the forum'. He hasn't even brought up new users which is the usual target. Some people believe that this thread is directed at them while others believe it is not and I find that rather interesting.NoMoreSanity said:
This thread however is moving far too fast for my liking and I am not absorbing every post. As I type this no doubt five more posts have been made, possibly more.
