Quite a sad state of affairs. I am no longer able to speak my mind without a deluge of baseless n00b opinions with no knowledge of this board other than what surface they have scratched in their infinitessimally short time here.
And some of older members who inhabit this forum aren't any better. They support each other in a ridiculous 'dogpile the messenger' bandwagon to the point where it's difficult to discern which one of these twats started it.
The board isn't expanding into something desirable. It's becoming something where everything is homogenized into a senseless grey goo of flacid patting on the back, or weak flame upon flame.
This has hit TK before, but never on this level, where a few older members are being shuffled into the same level of mediocrity as the new arrivals, who, not being subjected to gauntlets and not being put in their place when they prance around with smiley posts, feel confident enough to stick their noses into whatever pleases them without the slightest idea of what they're writing.
They have posted nothing unacceptable in itself. After all, most of them are women, or sure as hell act like it. It's always fun crashing a tea party full of barbie dolls and the limp-wristed gimps who serve fluff their pillows, even though I have mostly refrained from this. Except that these twats are taking it to a whole other level, with threads filled with nothing but 'Yes, I'm fine today, and you?' single sentence or smiley responses, and then have the audacity to slam members with legitimate concerns, and trivialize their thoughts as 'whining.'
What can I say? Give them an inch, they'll take a mile.
So without further delay, it brings me joy to present this Twat List (c) to you all:
Shatna
RommieSG
blindgroping
Lilith
SSgt_Sniper
S. SaDiablo
(More to be added, many more)
There are plenty of useless members (starguard bears special mention.) However, that particular brand of idiot is a different issue.
Hambil isn't included, because he knows very well what he's doing, and probably enjoys riding this wave of blind support.
That, coupled with the Reichstag Fire/Server issues which have given him complete free reign of the board, makes him King Twat.
