Why the hell does it seem that every other day some idiot is coming in here ranting about their day at school/work or how their parents are unfair or how their friends are assholes. Facepunch is not a personal therapist, so why can't we have a special SUBFORUM for this sort of shit? It's getting annoying coming into GD and seeing "WAAAAHHHH my mom iz unfair u gaiz" or "I need cheering up" or "I have had the shittiest day ever".
Please stop with the fucking sympathy threads. It is the cancer that is killing GD. Put them in Fast Threads or a special subforum.
On the other hand, its fun to see people completely break down on the internet, but still, its fucking annoying to have every other thread becoming a sympathy trap. We already have enough spam that should be in fast threads.
Blogpunch.
While I do agree with you, people just tend to need someone to anonymously vent about their problems to.
go cry about it.
I sympathize with you, I understand your problem with these threads and we will work through it with you

You registered this month and you're talking about the "cancer that is killing the GD"?

These people like to feel secure in their own lives by hearing your crappy tales, go there.
Why did they remove the blog?
There is no "cancer that is killing GD". General Discussion is exactly what the name says, GENERAL DISCUSSION. If someone wants to share their shitty day, fuck it, let 'em. It doesn't bother you, just don't read it.

You're obviously posting on an alt account because your main is permed... and you're going to lecture us about what threads to make?
[QUOTE=InvaderNouga;26770511]So your other account is permabanned?[/QUOTE]
Actually no, I browse a lot of old threads from about 2-3 months ago.

Once all of the good content on FT and GD is gone, its sort of hard not to try veiwing older stuff.

So you read 2 month old threads? How does that give you the wisdom to decide what is and what isn't the cancer that is killing GD?
Okay so you're a lurker from 3 months ago and you're going to tell a poster from 4 years ago what's good?

Every other thread is someone complaining about something that they hope facepunch will give them advice/sympathy.
Facepunch is not a personal therapist.

Well yes, you're completely right. Facepunch has been plagued by these threads for awhile though, you just got to learn to live with them and ignore them.

i'm sure it's not what you meant but that sounds horribly elitist[/QUOTE]
To actually see how much GD has degraded, you need to have been here for years, not months.

how does it sound elitist
people who have spent more time here, naturally, know better than newer members whats good stuff and waht is not good stuff
'10ers is best 'ers
While I agree with you, it's pretty easy to spot and ignore those kind of threads.

I've heard tales of the golden age of GD, where one can be banned just for spelling incorrectly.
Goddamnit I wish that could be re-enacted.
also what sloppy joe said
Oh, make a thread about it etc etc

So how bad has it gotten?
