I'm getting sick and tired of the childish behaviour here.

[DAE_JA_VOO]

Guys, I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm getting incredibly irritated by the sudden influx of childish behavior on the forum.

I'm talking abot threads like this. Seriously, who gives a crap? This sort of thing is the kind of conversation 10 year olds indulge in. I'm so sick and tired of seeing "monkeydude this" and "monkeydude that". He's forever getting bashed for SOMETHING, or he's starting a stupid thread/posting a stupid video.

Am I alone in this?

Perhaps the forum requires a "Seriously Off-Topic" section for which entries do not occur in "New Posts".

I agree with you. I along with others I know don't read this forum that much anymore, since the ammount of ridiculous or uninteresting posts are increasing.

 

[Stefan]

Agree in general. And about your particular example:
"Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people."

While I somewhat support this thread, I must also point out the fact that I am even more so getting sick and tired of the "I'm getting sick and tired" threads.

You should start a thread complaining about them

Perhaps a nice banhammer will solve things? (;

You're definitely not alone in your opinion. I find these "monkeydude" topics so... ugh, asinine and immature.

 

[Dennis]

Man, I miss the serious cube related questions in the Yahoo forum back in the days 2005. I acctually have save a lot of emails from that era and still using them today. To bad that forum is dead and when someone actually post the topic is completely out of intrest.

 

[Jason]

Yeah, the contents in the forum has seriously gone downhill in the past year or so. before, topics were more about the cube (techniques, solutions...). Now it's about slagging people off or about completely pointless repetitive uninteresting off-topic discussions, and it's completely polluting/clouding the forum. I think in this case, less is more

 

[stiwi griffin]

maybe you could make a sub-forum for new people and to limit them to post there and when a moderator thinks that they are "able"to post in the rest of the forums they are "free",but if they start posting things that have been posted all the time they go back to the sub-forum.

 

[endless_akatsuki]

I don't know...maybe it's just that there was so much discussion here before that people decide not to open up the same discussions, and go for something new (well, not the "What cube should I get" threads...)

 

[brunson]

I wish I could exclude it from the "New Posts" search. Why don't we just get rid of the Off-topic forum? We can enforce off topic posting in the other forums.

If with "it" you mean certain forums: You can already do that (in your User CP).

I say Plls but say U's, V's, T's etc. for permutations themselves.

I meant that I feel I have to help keep an eye on it.

 

[JLarsen]

How about threads about certain people are deleted? I mean mdude quiting, rubikscuberdude(yeah we're gonna have to sacrifice), some crap on how nakaji is so fast, just get rid of it.

 

[peterbat]

I've been reading this forum for less than a year now, but it's been enough to see an unpleasant trend. It's the same trend I see with my email spam. It's annoying, but there's nothing I can do about it without inventing a new Internet and only inviting my friends. (I'm no Al Gore...)

The nice thing, though, is that I can still read all the good posts on here!
