… In the sense that - Sooner or later you move on to something ‘harder’.
Lately I have spent most of my ‘board’ time at another MB. I won’t name it because the mods/admins probably won’t like that. I will say that it’s clientele is not as sophisticated as the SDMB (not by a long way),. But there is a heck of a lot more traffic. And it runs like ten thousand hamsters on speed. And it allows image tags. and it allows editing and… and… I could go on.

I find this board’s lack of those a nice relief. No editing means no F*cking with what was written and no image tags means no disturbing, distracting, and or stupid images.
Image tags are the spawn of the devil. So are avatars and any other crap that tries to distract you away from noticing that someone’s posts are vapid and substanceless. One of the top five reasons I love this board is the minimalizism of it - your posts are judged by their content, not their appearance. It’s very MLK.
Thou shalt not bow down to false message boards. Yea verily The Dope is the one true message board. All that is truth and ignorance fighting is containeth within the Dope. Thou shalt not take the name of The Dope in vain. However, if thou must, keepeth it in The Pit.
The SDMB encourages one to be sensible, thoughtful, tolerant, helpful, articulate. The other board encourages one to goof about, oggle nice ladies, post pointless meaningless nonsense.
It’s stimulating to be helpful and articulate etc… but at heart I am a goof. I started here as a goof (you may remember me as a goof). And there are people here who can out-wit, out-articulate, out-helpful me by miles. On the other board I seem to fit in.
