But also a good wake-up call for people who look back romantically on "the good old days".

Right Track comes out of the woodwork once in awhile.

He made a thread and people had a big bitch in it, put him off completely. People need to stfu sometimes.

Aw :( That's sad.

Put off a long time ago, Vanilla. The fact this place never moves on (see admin) was the main reason.
The thread I think you're taling about was one I made after being away a good while.
The only bitching I recall came from DJ? Bad case of penis envy.

Good to look through some of those archived shots...old member names. Brought back some good memories. :)

ftfy.

I never really got down on the place until the ****ing .gif wars.

Damn you. I thought I'd finally forgotten that song. Maybe next decade.

Pfft I vaguely remember that thread and it was just the same old same old grumpy bitching about the times are a-changing that come from veteran members.

Yep people need to "stfu" on a website with banter in its name.

Riiiight.

Really?
Because I remember it as a thread where a long time member came back after a reasonably long absence, asked some questions wanting to know about the people who are around now and immediately got shit on.

If because of that he came to the conclusion that he preferred the forum as it was then you can hardly blame him.

I don't recall the order of events happening that way. The forum blame of current members happened first then the reminiscing of older members happened afterwards.
