I see the "been too long at TCoD" thread is deeply affecting your subconscious. :P
When people say the forum culture has deteriorated in the past few years, I kind of wonder what forum they were at in 2008, because the one I ran was awful. That was the phase when everyone was trying to be cool and edgy and there were massive campaigns about deleting Forum Games because how dare these other people have fun doing something the Council of Fun has decided is lame, and there were constant drama threads in Forum Discussion about the cancer that is killing TCoD, and it was cool to be mean to everyone.
Or maybe they mean 2006ish, when Nidokingu and I were doing batshit things like locking new members in a "Newbie Camp" forum to prove they were good enough.
The glasses of nostalgia are pretty damn rose-tinted.
