Until Mudcat confines himself to the Secret Zone the way things have been here recently...
I get where this is coming from. We are seeing more and more of all my least favorite elements of SBR here. The trend has been eye-opening and I wonder how far it will go. It's not so much the individuals posting that bother me - I don't expect to be interested in every personality in forum-land and vice versa - but it's the linking of stuff and copying of large chunks of SBR forum here, links with no relevance or context other than a desire to make this forum more like SBR. And we've had guys begging for SBR points and importing stale repetitive shtick and gossiping about SBR people who aren't even here. Ugh.
SBRforum is such an awful forum. It really is. If people want to mold this forum into something else, I wish it was almost anything but SBR.
It's like gamelive is a Cracker forum and a bunch of people from a Britney Spears forum have come over and started posting fan threads and cheeseball drama and the video of
Hit Me Baby One More Time. I can't help but think, 'You've got your Britney forum - why don't you just talk about Britney there?"
For my part, I have kept my complaining to a minimum. The SBR stuff does seem to get lots of attention so I figure I am the odd man out. And then I think about the owners of the forum and what they want. Maybe they are thinking about making money and more activity is good for them and a certain amount of crapola is a necessary evil. I wouldn't blame them. I like those guys and don't want to be a wet blanket over their progress.
These are the thought I have.
Who knows what will happen? If the trend continues, I could very well could end up with a large chunk of the forum on ignore and posting mainly in the Private Zone like happened at SBR. That would be okay. I just want a few laughs during my day.
