What happned to AO?

[Nitroduck]

Think it'll go back to the decentness that it used to have ? I mean its pretty sad when people can't answer how much a LVX gets off a 68/45 , i'd think that'd be pretty easy.

Well, if you are joking, my apologies.

But paintballrulz.... Well, no comment.

Its hard to tell if somebody is being sarcastic over the internet.

maybe this little arguement could answer your question nitroduck...ignorant arguements about something that really doesnt matter

I may be a part of it, but your exactly right.

ive been at fault before too..ive flamed people cuz their parents buy them paintball gear..its moronic stuff like this..that tears these kinds of communities apart..another thing that i see that is a little..um..harsh..the way people tell others to use the search feature..sure its helpful..but you guys really dont need to be such pricks about it

No, because we will continue to grow. Its inevitable when you have so many members. Nobody is at fault, we are still more civil than most forums. This is just what happens when you have so many members.

AO is the most "civil" because our mods arent little kids, and actually enforce the rules.

YEAH, you gunky!

YEAH, you gunky!

Now... heres a question. Whats a gunky? I looked it up at www.dictionary.com as well as www.urbandictionary.com, but to no avail.

EDIT: Army, you better add some words to that post, paintballrulz might have something to say about it.

Daaaanng!

For you young pups, Bill Cosby first used "Gunky" in his early routines...even before the "I Spy" series.

His brother Russel was the usual recipient of this name.

I stopped posting for a couple reasons:

1. Assumption of AO's general knowledge - I just assumed that with so many people around that someone would be able to answer a question better than I can and don't bother cluttering up the thread.
2. Having to wade through posts - it is getting more difficult to find threads that are worthwhile to read and contribute to. If I don't find a good thread, I won't post in it.

For the first reason, I find myself posting in the PBN newbie forum whenever I feel the need to say something. It's a place where I feel I can contribute useful information. I tend to hang out in the Chat to get my AO fix, I find it more fun than the forums.

Maybe it's because alot of the people who used to post alot can't do so anymore, with jobs and stuff. Or maybe they just don't want to post figuring someone else will answer it for them. There can't be one single reason, so we will just have to use whichever one sounds the best.

OT: Nitro, my friends and I can not wait for Twibs 3 to come out, we almost kicked our dogs in the face when we saw the message we were so happy! w00t!

i see exactly what your saying, either people are bing too literal and defensive, or u gotta post 3-4 times before your question or point goes through.

I havent been here too long, but i do remember when the word postwhore wasnt in 3 out of 4 posts...

i chose to not reply with stupid answers and stuff like if someone gets a new gun.. i dont reply... "yea... nice new gun, like i havent seen that since 3 seconds ago"

id rather reply to osmeone needing help, or have a question... something worth while. so i think that post count should be done away with...

if your statual rank relies in the post count.. you either shouldnt be here.. or change ur thinking (not in any facist way )

It has declined incredibly. If you don't like a certain vendors items, you get labeled a "hater" or "minion of (X)". Look at how the friendly corner has become. One of the golden rules on this board is no political posts. Yet for the most part, notice I said MOST PART, the conservative posts stay but the "liberal" posts get closed. Mainly due to a select few that don't agree with the liberal view, or it's deemed too conflicting. Yet a similar post will pop up on the other spectrum but it's ok. Call it down the middle or not at all. That's all I'm saying on that part. This site still has some good information but it's not the spectacular site that I joined many years ago. Now it's no better then PBR, PBN, Kingman etc. The childish responses pop up, the needless name calling, arguing etc still come up. So I've noticed post quality down, but then again more people are onboard. So of course the number will rise. None the less, I still come here to keep up to date, post/search if I have problems, and just hang out and see what's new in the paintball world. Although a few weeks ago when the E/Xmags were stopped I was getting quite sick of the "what is the deal with the E/Xmags" questions. Overall I'm agreeing with Squid that this is turning into a PBN in some sorts.

I think you guys should cry about it. Quitcher*****en. Let the flaming begin.
