The only reason why this forum is getting boring is because:
1) All the things that used to make this forum interesting is gone. That means everything that stirred up trouble is gone. Supermeme, Linemarvel, some of the old memebers, they've all left. It's not as fun when things don't happen, for better or for worse.
2) Linemarvel. Like I said before, he's gone. We lost of initial reason for the forums even existing. Linemarvel's gone and now there's no goal for us to strive for. Sure, if we were just a regular hentai forum, then our goal would be to just be hentai freaks. But we aren't. We have lives outside of hentai, and we share it with others. That's why it's no longer interesting. We don't have a single interest to put our main focus on.
3) We know too much about each other. I'll admit that most of us are a closely-knit community. You got your group of friends, we got ours. Familiarity breeds, not contempt in this case, but boredom. We know each other. We already understand what the forum has to offer. There's nothing to talk about because we already know what we're going to talk about. I nailed the job interview. Nice. We heard you talking about that a couple days ago in the chatroom.
The forums are getting boring, yes. I totally agree. It's just not as fun as it used to be. But that's because, like every other forum I've ever been in, it's just not as fresh as it used to be. We know everybody and there's just isn't as much to talk about nowadays.
But what I really wanna say is that are you seriously going to leave the forums because it just isn't as exciting anymore? Granted you did say that there were events that foretold this. But even if these events were legitimate reasons, you're saying that we're basically boring you and that you wanna leave.
If it's that boring to you, and I know I'm going to get backlash for this, then why aren't you doing anything about it? You listed a couple things that made the previous forums fun. Active RPs? That's because there weren't as many as before. We didn't have to choose between seventeen hundred different RPs. Decent members that were helpful? Well if it's hentai you're talking about, it's kinda hard to be helpful when we have barely any info to work on. If you're talking about general information or such, I haven't exactly seen a lot of cries of help for that.
And now for a more rant-y part of my post.
Are you seriously just leaving because it got boring around here? And no don't try to defend him by twisting him words like, "Well he didn't mean to call it boring! He just meant that it wasn't as interesting as it was before!". No. He called it boring, plain and simple. If it weren't boring, he wouldn't be leaving.
Anyway, you're saying that you're leaving because it's boring. Then to be completely honest, then I say leave. You call the forums boring, then obviously don't see that this place is still a pretty awesome place to be in. You know what that's also saying? You're not contributing much at all. Granted, a lot of us don't contribute much, me especially. But to say that it's boring around here means you don't want to be associated with this place anymore. You're not gonna try to help make it fun again. You just wanna find some place else to have fun.
There's a lot of elitism growing in these forums, honestly. We all tend to stay in each other's circles because we don't like certain people in the forums. Psst. Here's an idea. If you find it boring, find the people you don't like and maybe open up your mind to them? "Yeah sure, but they're trolls! They're assholes!" Because you're being pretty easy targets. You're being easy and open targets. They don't troll certain people because they know they don't give a rat's ass about it. If you find the forums boring, then find new people to talk to rather than stay in the same damn circle.
"Why don't you do the same then, Darkfire!?" Because I don't find the forums boring and I have other friends besides people in the forum. Hey look! I can go on the forums AND find other things to do! I didn't know that was possible! Now I don't have to be an ass and make an entire post about me leaving the forums forever and instead just do other things while still keeping in touch with this place!
Haaaa... Hit me with your best shot, defenders of Siphon's reasons. I'm probably going to ignore it anway.
