In august my premium subscription runs out - I won an egghunt in 2006, and have had premium ever since. I admit, I got used to chatterbox and embedding, maybe even took it for granted a few times. Also, as a premium user, I never see any ads. If I were to lose the chatterbox to* advertisements that everyone* complains about, I don't think I'd keep coming back...I know, I know, ad block, but that takes money out of qntmfred's pockets in a way, on top of hating failfox in the first place. I also know there will be many trolls saying GTFO no one cares, or that I'll be back, etc. but I am faced with either rebuying my xbox live account, or rebuying tww premium...I have logged hundreds of hours on my xbox,while only accruing a few hundred posts here, so I already am in favor of just renewing my xblive, but I wanted to hear from everyone as to whether I am wanted here, or if some of you enjoy my posts, hate my posts, whatever you have to say about me, say it now...until I figure all this out, I won't be making any more threads (wait till I log off to have the party, k?).]] 7/26/2010 1:00:23 AM |

i like some of the posters here, but for the most part this place has become a palace for losers yearning to emasculate each other...i have a hard time hanging around because there aren't as many people here that are worth knowing as there used to be...just a bunch of angry nerds calling each other names via their blackberry while pooping at work for the 50,000th time in a row...If the regulars weren't so brutally creepy when new people arrived, maybe they'd stick around and we'd meet some new people to add daily content to the site, instead of one good idea spawning a sea of parody threads with one word changed. IT'S BEEN DONE. the lounge, garage, tech talk, and classifieds need to lighten up a bit, you guys are brutal when someone makes an error, or wrongly quotes something, or misspells a word, or their grammar is off, what are we, 12? Oh, and the best/worst comeback of all time probably originated here, it goes something like this; if someone disagrees with something, that immediately means the source is a [insert any number of insulting things here] and they should go kill themselves. i just wish we could lighten it up a little bit, while simultaneously increasing the awesomeness of our intellect's thread ideas. too bad posts like this get so many trivializing and insulting responses for the quick lulz. 7/26/2010 4:57:59 AM |

I'm only on here because of the posting streak competition and to kill time when I have nothing else to do. Otherwise I agree, its becoming a little dry around here.
This, however, I like about the place:
Quote : | "you guys are brutal when someone makes an error, or wrongly quotes something, or misspells a word, or their grammar is off, what are we, 12? " |
Its a board of (mostly) college educated people, and ridiculing those who are lazy with their posts helps to make reading in this place more bearable. I have enough of a hard time reading shit like
Quote : | "And maybe you can call in sick, and bring it to the crib and get all this d@^!" |
and

you should leave, and not because no one likes you. take a look at the poll, Brentroad is on its way out. There is nothing exciting coming. This place has run its course, and it has been a great ride. It's time for the internet to move on though.
Sure there will still be people posting on here in the future, but the glory days are over.7/26/2010 8:21:33 AM |

it isn't a matter of manning up, I generally don't feel like anyone here likes me, and as a 30 year old adult, I am finding my free time more valuable and less frequent, and if I am going to spend anymore time talking to people on this website, it has to be because I am wanted to at least some small degree, I am not like quagmire02 in that I can't hang around a place I am universally hated/unwanted. this isn't attention whoring, I am not checking this thread every 5 minutes, I am trying to decide if this is indeed truly a community of good people that I should invest in, because it will positively impact my life, or if I should give up the idea of making new friends via this site...I have met and maintained relationships with the few twwers who are imo good people, I am sure there are a few I haven't had the chance to meet yet that are also awesome, but that isn't likely to change - it seems the only way to meet most of you is to start drinking again, and frequenting shitty college bars to do so.]] 7/26/2010 1:29:05 PM |

Hey now, don't leave the soap box out of it. They're just as brutal. I remember someone calling for more civility, and others responding saying that was a ridiculous idea, and that it would never work on a message board full of college kids. To which I had to remind them:
Quote : | "Just to be clear, these days this is a message board mostly for adults, so we don't get to write off bad behavior as youth/college antics." |
This thread for example has a majority of people who aren't in college based on their profile ages (assuming those are even current since they don't auto update).7/26/2010 2:04:26 PM |

i dare say the majority of users are indifferent...regardless, "universally" implies everyone, which is just plain silly
at least at MY age (younger than you, sport), i have a job and an education...even when i was working while in college, i wasn't so pathetic as to have to worry about $25 making or breaking me
but hey, let's hear about how you simply can't choose between two ways to interact with others in an anonymous environment because your sorry ass can't manage to get out of the house (for school, a job, or friends, obviously)7/26/2010 2:16:46 PM |

I didn't mean to exclude soap box, i just thought that one went without saying, I might have posted in there ONCE. never again. and you're right, lots of adults here (on tww), the way I see it if I am gonna get called a faggot, stupid, whatever, I can do that on Xbox Live, but at least I can play video games while that's going on, additionally, there's a way to mute stupid people altogether without crippling the rest of the service. 7/26/2010 2:24:35 PM |
