    Why do people stop coming here?

    I don't really have that much to say on here, but I still come here when I'm on the internet most days out of habit. Presuming the departed haven't moved to Haiti, why cut this place out entirely?

    Jord still has me on Facebook and 'liked' my most recent profile picture, which is probably why I'm raising this.

    I've gone through different stages of life, busy and un-busy, but I've not at any point taken time off here or drifted away for a bit. I guess once you did it would be easy to stay away though.

    The average age is getting too old. It has lasted well but really is dying a death now.

    We need to get Johnny Foreigner onto here, an influx of them might force Harold out too so that's another positive.

    That's because I'm right. I've near gave up myself though, which should appease 90% of the contingent.

    I agree with that. I know we should be for freedomz and everything but I strongly support banning him.

    And now this thread will also become about him, one more not to bother with.

    Safe spaces are important.

    I swear you morons who complain are self harmers. You invoked me to post and will then complain about it. Reminds me of the feminists who give out shit and then can't take it and demand the curtailment of free speech when they get it back. The one here who gets abused is me, mostly. Not you, by me.

    Don't be so melodramatic. As long as you're happy to not discuss religion, sexism, women's rights, Islam, Europe, immigration, politics and wrestling then you have free reign.

    People act like if Harold didn't post they would be having wonderful, flowering discussions.

    In truth the threads would probably just die instead.

    The forum was doing quite well before his last comeback. Look at the state of it now. This place is still going to die sooner or later, but the rate at which it does would change considerably.

    We had 15 pages of Harold and Lewis arguing about what a peer review was. I'd rather die.

    Right, and how many times did you post in that thread beforehand? So why did you keep reading? Why aren't you dead?

    Yeah I say ban Harold.

    We might not die as a result of him, but he has a unambiguously horrendous impact on the place.

    Fuck me, make your own safe spaces thread, then. You know, I'm no different from some 10 or so years ago, when I was voted among the best posters. What's changed is society's inability to deal with 'offense', so-called. When I see someone on the extreme left being a twat I don't cry and demand my eyes not have to bear witness to that view. Fucking man up, child.

    This is just the same no-platforming, childish shit in microcosm.

    I guess it's because we're quieter nowadays so you're less of a novelty and more just a pain in the arse.

    I rarely engage in actually being directly offensive to people. I always have to deal with that. People are offended by my views, which is bizarre. Some people just need to grow up.

    The truth is usually more important than your feelings.

    The solution is to ignore Harold, since his entire purpose is to get attention.

    Hard to ignore when half the posts in all the forum are from him. The likes of Toby and Lewis are as guilty to be fair, but I wouldn't want those two banned.

    +1 for banning Harold. Not because he's offensive but because he's boring and shit. Even Mert, who presents largely the same views, is a much less ruinous poster.

    TTH is one of the main things that brings me to the internet, and leads me to wasting time on it. If I ever quit it'll either be because I'm too busy bumming around third world nations or because I've decided to get my shit together and stop procrastinating so much. Going two weeks without it, you do stop missing it quite so much.

    And what makes you such an illuminating and excellent poster?

    I come on here (online basically) when I'm alone. If I (say) moved in with my girlfriend and didn't have much 'alone' time, I'd possibly stop. Not because I want to stop, but the void may get filled by something else.
