Gibberings CIII: A New Hope

besides the switch over in mods, which seemed to happen all at once? (I don't know what happened or why it happened), has BL changed in terms of getting more focus forums, or where they always there?

Don't know what you mean about mods, always been a fluid situation with ins and outs.

A few, very few really, forums have been added since I've been here (2001). BL is older than that though.
 
Especially when viewed through these:

Do you ever listen or just have pre-determined gifs you want to use for every occasion?
 
I suppose Culpepper's Herbal was in it's prime.



Your fatherly joy at spending the week with your son has really lasted!

Don't get me wrong, it's been a good week, but without a car we haven't been fishing.

And neighbours have realised they can dump their kids on me.

I need to sort this car today. I'm sure the AA are used to people getting their car to limp a mile away from home before calling them with some preposterous story. I might just fess up to the AA man when he arrives, they don't give a fuck themselves I wouldn't have thought.

There were multiple threads related to MDMA, the place was largely built around clubbing PLUR'ers. 2C-B was a popular one. And acid and especially mushrooms got far more coverage than today (come back Zophen/B9).

I first joined this place due to a thread I saw about ecstasy testing in the UK (it was done by a BL'er for a short period before, well, shit happens).

I remember this, it was MD*, MD** quality and errr, M***Testing that brought me here in the first place. The whole board seemed to be based around E more than anything, and even I remember people getting excited about this new "legal E" (piperazines) that was coming out =D
 
No, there was plenty of shit. That's why gibberings came about.

But there were miles more drug and drug experience threads and more political debate.
so the focus forums ie Other Drugs and Trip Reports etc have been there since before EADD or added later?
 
18/40 threads on the front page are drug-related (I think, but bleary eyed..) Not bad for a mixed forum.. I'd like to have more HR type threads around actually but I'm not really sure how to go about it, we have plenty of megathreads and I've not had much time to focus on the HR side lately, with everything else going on.. if anyone has any ideas, please do let us know :)

I know people disagree on how much abuse/arguing etc we allow and I'm sorry about that. All I will say is we really can't please everyone and we are doing our best <3

How is everyone today? I'm a bit tired and sore but had breakfast in bed so things could be worse :)

edit: Basic Drug Discussion is the place to be, fuck Other Drugs ;) (<3 you guys really Albie)
 
I suspect that a lot of it has to do with the way we use the internet these days. Explosion of social media etc making it more socially acceptable and normal to tell the world what colour underpants you've got on today and so on (I'm currently wearing a towel).

Also, stupid dipshits got computers with net connections. Ten, twelve years ago most stupid dipshits didn't have net connections.

Other Drugs was definitely here...Trip reports may be newer but may not be, can't remember. Very few have been added. Sport and Gaming. Law/Legal stuff. Health stuff. Not much.

First bit, definitely a factor.

Second bit, gosh. Thought I was the cynical nasty one. ;)
 
Do you read my posts? I'm hardly a prolific giffer.

Yes I do listen. Tell me, is Kate wrong when she says that all the arguing puts off new posters, especially women?
That's not really SHM's point I don't think

The thing I get most from what he's posted so far, is that as EADD has gradually become less drug focused, and more social, this has coincided with moderation becoming tighter.

[edit]
and I was also gonna say what JC has about the world and his wife getting a net connection, and the 'calibre' of poster changing somewhat, but I'm not sure what point I was actually trying to make with it, so didn't because it was too flippant.

Emergence of RCs and their widespread availability may of played a factor in this tho, as well as possibly 100s of other valid factors

I was specifically responding to his "there used to be more poliitcs / shitstorms and it wasn't a problem" comment.
 
I have no idea what you're on or what you're on about knock. Marmz seems to have grasped the gist, MM seems to remember things the way I do.

Yeah, make your point in French. Maybe you're not translating well.

Fuck sake man, it's not hard, I was responding to this:

you said:
There were also far more political threads with sensible debate AND shitstorms. Nobody ever got infracted (I once called Harry@Piekarnia a cunt 19 times in one post) and EADD never fell to pieces.
 
Bit touchy knock.

So you don't want political debate bacause it's spoiling your chances of getting a girlfriend here, is that what you're saying?

I knew what you were referring to, but I don't think it's a really relvant question in what's being currently reflected on. I understand it's on the same theme, but it's mixing two similar factors that aren't the core of what's being discussed.

Summary: I don't think it's a helpful question. Sorry, not being picky, just trying to disseminate to keep things valid

"What's being currently reflected on" is subjective though isn't it? You may be reflecting on one bit of SHM's post, I was reflecting on another. Actually I was reflecting on both bits.

PS what do you think is not a helpful question? The one about new posters?
