you leave for a bit (ok...a few years) and everything is bloody different!

:mad:

Well NS got new forums. They also got a shitload of new mods, and old mods who should have stayed in mothballs. I theorize that Max wanted a bigger chunk of the ad-revenue pie.

yeah I found the new site...

seems all very odd to me...I thought if there was a move it was due to the stability issues here...oh well...

That's because it's evil.

Do yo know how long jolt will keep this forum going? Coz the other is...well pants really. Threads getting locked hither and tither with no explanation...

and there seems to be a lack of humour or is it me?

It seems to me that it's more heated. Not sure why. Mods seem to have a serious case of stick up the ass also.

yeah admittedly they have a pretty hard job to do but it would be good to inject some humour in there once and a while...then again it is also a thankless task and given that pressure and the amount of whining from posters its not a great surprise to see a closing of ranks so to speak.

then again I've always been a generalite so I don't know how it goes down in the other forums...but NGS for some reason was deemed to be a problem area.

I just can't believe how quite it is here now...its eerie..

The forum's collective understanding of humour and sarcasm of any kind has gone completely out the window. Don't care much either way about mods; never really have; but the forum just isn't fun anymore.

Well it might improve perhaps but the thing is that there are so many threads that were posted to death years ago...it does tend to make one slightly jaundiced...

yeah I'm not annoyed at mods...its not a fun job but I'm sure things will settle. NSG was always going to be heavily moderated...

After NSG moved from Jolt, it turned into a pile of Sheer And Utter Fail.

Those dick sucking mods were already a problem on Jolt, but they became real cunts on the new thing.

I left due several reasons:

• The unprofessional, inconsequent, unfair and biased ruling of the mods
• The lack of humour among the mods but also among ordinary people too. And no, repeating LG Taco Mud stuff isn't funny, it's nothing more than a sign of puerility.
• Mods that are acting like the Greenwich Meridian is running through their crena interglutealis.
• Mods that are acting like kindergarten teachers. It’s no surprise that some are kindergarten teachers IRL.
• The increased Stasi like network of blabbers
• The lack of interesting threads, everything is already said & done, and much better in the past.
• The decline of interesting people and the increase of YouTube-commenting-styled-people. Style: “Ur opinionZ iIIiiis foooohking hilariouzzzz” without saying why.
• I’m partially joining English forums to improve my English, it isn’t my mother tongue. On NSG, my English speaking capacities were going down.

In short: They can shove their WARNINGS where the sun doesn't shine.

You're not some bank-robbing, anarchist hoodlum in real-life, are you, HK? You don't go about torching government buildings?

yeah it seems to be the case...so many innocuous threads locked...really...strange for a forum where everything can be discussed...

Eh no. I'm a law abiding citizen. I just can’t stand complete unfairness. I have a strong sense of justice and that’s maybe the main reason why I do have a problem with NSG.

On NSG some people get away with almost everything, while others don’t even have to think about it.

Till a certain degree that’s normal and acceptable. In real life, everyone is accepting more from certain people, while others can’t do anything good.

But when the discrepancy gap is too big, something is really wrong.

While Jolt still has an NS board, let's use it as an alternative to what the other board has become.

The other forum began as kind of depressing, and hasn't improved much, as a lot of humor is censored; at least Mr. Barry isn't constrained by JOLT's rules and numerous ads, anymore, though. This forum has nostalgia value and seems to be seeing some action, so I will definitely be using it until JOLT shuts it down.

I really miss the old NSG.
