    Did I miss something? (STATE OF THE BOARD THREAD)

    I haven't been much in here lately, but I haven't seen any discussions on things such as Fidel Castro's death, or Ronaldo being as much of a tax dodging cunt as Messi (but still shitter at football lololol) but Benzema turning out to be a saint. Then there is WDYTOE and its, what? five lists? Is the board dying? Should I ask for my money back?

    It's a safe bet these days that you did indeed miss nothing.

    I'm also doing a list but it's taking ages.

    I think we did have some #highend Castro chat though.

    I think the fact that Dquincy alone constituted 50% of posts yesterday is an omen

    The board has been dying for about five years.

    It's better than it was a couple of months ago.

    I have also started a list which I may or may not finish.

    I don't think anybody has changed in the time I've been away so I'm not going to do a list.

    I've tried to conjure up a WDYTOE list but each time I've got a few names into it before fucking it off for the simple fact that I only care for a select few on here. It's a shit forum but it's only that way because everyone is bone idle and disinterested. Personally I only frequent here to post in the FM thread or throwaway comments that inevitably don't come across as intended.

    I'm sure I could muster up a WDYTOE.

    @Giggles are you still pretending you don't know who everyone is? Get a list up

    Not everyone but apart from a few there's just one massive group that I can't really differentiate between. Not as bad as before but I'd end up with less than 15 entries.

    The fact that people can't be bothered to do a WDYTOE at least shows there's a decent amount of members.

    Werewolf games are so shit. Just make threads about whatever you're thinking about at the time. Any sort of content can lead to good posting.

    There is a strong correlation between the beginning of the werewolf games and the death of the board.

    I was losing interest anyway. The board has been becoming less active (or at least less active in relation to things I wanted to post about) and was a bit of a time sink. Just a distraction from doing anything else. The WhatsApp group is a more convenient distraction in that it's instant, and it takes less time to indulge in.

    I'd have stopped posting at some point. I thought about doing so a couple of times over the summer but never relly had the willpower. Then it just sort of happened naturally when I was invited into the group. There's no weird calculated "KILL THE BOARD" thing going on. The place has just had its day for me and I suspect it will be gone competely within a couple of years. The membership is shrinking and what's left just seems to thrive on bitterness and negativity. It's a shame as it was brilliant in its day, but its day has gone.

    Well yeah. It's just a form of entertainment, just like any other.

    It became less entertaining so I stopped using it. I don't see it as being my responsibility to maintain the place. If I tv show I watch goes to shit I don't write in with new scripts. There's no scope for improvement anyway. It's all the same recycled opinions on stuff.

    It means more to some (you) than it does to others. Your sniping at people is one of the things making it unattractive, by the way. Let it die.

    It's a 'form of entertainment' that depends on your contributing, so your telly analogy would only work if your programmes started going to shit on account of you closing your eyes and muting them (which may be fitting if you have only just noticed a turn towards negativity).

    First part is a good point but doesn't necessarily need to be in a negative way. They're all fairly nice guys so I can imagine it being quite complimentary and civil.

    The real charm of this place is when a normal human suddenly finds himself balls deep in a conversation about who was the best ninja mutant turtle with one of the spackers.

    You can mute Whatsapp. I'm only in one group (with 2 other people) and I have it set to no notifications in case they start bullshitting to each other about some PS4 game. Easy to skim through and catch up after.
