Stophovr6 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 What did he do? I don't recall China ever being combative. I think he posted a pic in the Owned thread. He'll be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stophovr6 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 speaking of which, whatever happened to Unsonny? Unsonny and 4C + Posts don't count = bye bye. I think they all post here now and then. But they may have moved to a different site. That's my speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsBry Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 China posted in the Own3d thread. I didn't see what it was but it got a lot of complaints and was reported... So it was probably his funniest one yet. If it's the picture I think it was, it was a picture of naked people, that weren't really naked but wearing full body costumes that made them appear to be naked in a fuzzy kind of way. Not something I found to be offending but it bothered others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgold Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I don't know why, but I think it coincided with the Republicans losing power. Posts have been getting more and more bitter and every issue in the Tailgate now seems to be life and death. I mean look how many threads we have hinting or projecting the demise of the United States. As insane and apocalyptic as the Dems are/were, we held (on this board) nowhere near the enmity of what seems to be the average viewpoint these days. You even see conservative posters and mods being repulsed by the fatalistic negativity. Plus, when you try to post a silly thread these days there's almost no effort to join in and play along. They die really quickly. Instead, there's a concerted effort all too often to shoot it down, say the thread's a waste of time, and try to ruin it. An okay example includes the April Fool threads. How many of those threads had someone spoiling the gag within the first three posts and then the rest of the thread became an attack on the poster. In the good ole days, if there was a bad joke thread, people wouldn't denounce it, but they'd try to embellish and make it funnier. Adding versus attacking. Or if attacked the OP wouldn't get all hurt and tearful, but play along. It still happens occassionally. Big Mike and I have had some good rousts full of jokes and mock insults, but there seems to be a will to destroy instead of collaborate these days. I'm overstating my observations, but that's why I think the humor is less. Final thought, I used to be able to joke within a heated political thread and people (opponents and allies) would laugh with me. Now, no matter how absurd a thing I write people take it seriously. For gosh sakes, I was asked yesterday if I seriously wanted to remove the trigger finger of every minor in America until they were eighteen in order to forestall gun violence. :doh: Boy, do I talk toooooo much.

Rocky21 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 things are always better when you look back on them. but when they are happening it seems to suck.bring back Sarge!! Sarge was my answer as to why the Tailgate has become so humorless...so if he's been banned I'm going to start enjoying myself more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hokie4redskins Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Also, there are 84K members in this community. Any semblance of a small-town neighborly feel have long been abandoned. No offense to the rookies, but I find myself looking at the people who'd probably have over 10K posts in the short time they've been here (if posts were being counted in the Tailgate) and wonder, "Who the hell is he/she and why are they killing the Tailgate?" Politically speaking, the Tailgate was once a 50/50 demographic split. Nowadays, by my estimation, leftists outnumber righties probably 3 to 1..........at least. I don't think it's a coincidence that hilarity has decreased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renaissance Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Maybe its just me, but when I first started coming to the tailgate a couple years ago, it was a riot in here. I would laugh my arse off at any given thread because someone would be making a wise crack, posting a hilrious pic, etc and the rest would roll with it. We used to have threads 20-30 pages that would have you in tears from laughter. Not so much anymore. What happened? yea we all like serious discussion sometimes, but I remember when clownin around and tom foolery were expected and rampant. it started to go downhill January 2006....Not sure exactly why....

WVUforREDSKINS Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 it started to go downhill January 2006....Not sure exactly why.... Yea, but it didn't really take a turn for the worse until Aug of that year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoony Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Theres very little humor that hasn't already been done. to death even. Occasionally though a thread that is funny as hell pops up and I still laugh my ass off, most recently PB's douchemobile thread. And I'm guessing that stuff you found funny when you first joined probably doesn't even make your radar anymore. This place is what you make of it, no more, no less. ....
