Just popped back over the to the old forum and realised how much nicer the atmosphere is here

I instantly felt like everyone was sneering at me and all I wanted to do was sneer at other people. This new forum is great.

Educate yourself you fucking idiot!

i should never have gone back there

does seem as if migrating to a new forum has sort of energized folks a bit. Perhaps we should do it once every couple of years.

Wonder if it’s because the avatars make it seem like people rather than faceless internet beasts?

It’s because the lack of nested replies reduces visibility of posts that are part of a big conversation. Both your posts and those of others feel less significant.

Would post a lot more about this but it would be wanky discourse analysis and cba.

Also the automatic refresh makes it feel more conversational. It’s less like you’re setting out your position on a topic or w/e

I might pop over at some point just to say goodbye for the last time. Nothing dramatic or anything. Just shake a few hands and wish them well in their endeavours (took 4 attempts to spell that).

I won’t mean it of course. They’re awful. We should close of new registrations now that the good ones (and marckee) have migrated.

In fairness, for the past few years I’ve only really read the evening threads and everyone’s really nice in those.

feel a bit guilty when i go back there, like i’ve abandoned it
