Has the SDMB lost critical mass?

The “other board” is the <site removed>. Not really all that interesting.

<link removed>

We discourage direct links to try to keep the drama to a minimum, but I know that past a certain point secrecy itself can fuel the drama, so anyone who is dying to check it out can email me. (Of course please keep all opinions, rebuttals, etc. resulting from a visit to said site off the boards.) Prepare to be underwhelmed.

I must say I do hate having to tiptoe around the topic and play hall monitor to keep people from dragging drama from here to there (I’m all about free speech in my non-mod life), but I can see the purpose. Back when I joined, the mods kept the inevitable drama from off-board chat channels and LiveJournals to a minimum, which definitely made it easier to ignore them. Now that I’m a mod, I feel obligated to pay a bit more attention so I can now definitely appreciate what I was (happily) missing as a regular disinterested poster. LiveJournal Drama[sup]TM[/sup] is very exciting for the parties involved, I’m sure, but generally tedious for everyone else. The junior high analogy is quite apt.

I really don’t give a damn either way, but deleting the link is just more of the pussy shit that makes this board less than what it could be. I don’t know of any “drama”–just a bunch of retards commenting on this site with about 5% of the posts on-topic.

While we’re on the topic, threads on that site have also become much less numerous over the past six months. More evidence that things here are just fucking dull.

S’okay, What Exit? sent me a PM with the addy and a fair summary almost immediately after I made my post.

Underwhelmed is right. I was expecting some sort of “Land of the Lost” of banned and/or retired dopers. Apparently it’s just a forum for random jackholes and cumdumpsters to write poorly written insults about dopers. :wink:

I stand by my previous statements as to whether Dopers should pay it any more attention than the mild curiosity that someone actually felt the need to make such a site. I can’t imagine letting it affect my outlook or what I say and how I say it.

Apparently you no read no good…

Hey, I’ve got an idea that will improve the SDMB and reduce Aeschines’ level of dissatisfaction in one fell swoop.

He can go the fuck away!

That would actually decrease my level of satisfaction, as my favorite poster would not be here when I visit.

That actually does not mean what you think it means.

A little religious debate, a little **Liberal **pitting…can we perhaps get some AGW-denial to round out the usual SDMB fare?

Hahaha. Well, at least this thread is mildly entertaining.

We already have the last item in aisle two with a football halftime rant. Go figure.

What does that mean? (And I thought I knew everything.)

Aeschines Goes Wild, it’s the Dope version on Girls Gone Wild.

Don’t call me no fucking girl.

Actually, a few of those could be fun: I deny the existence of automatic girth welders!

Sorry, here is one of several dozen links.

I’m sending you the bills for my therapy, you bloody bastard.
