The site is pretty milquetoast compared to how it used to be. Boring. But that’s not so much about craw getting banned as it is years of entertaining posters getting pushed out for their difference of opinions. The board, as of today, is essentially an agreement fest with some thought-provoking debate sprinkled in here and there.
The place misses the Craw’s, the Deus Iraes, the IllegalContacts, etc. The people that used to stir the pot and add thousands of posts worth of either content or entertainment.
Maybe you’re a milquetoast kind of guy. Nothing wrong with that. The world needs all types. But, PF is objectively worse without those personalities on here. Trying to pretend otherwise is merely attempting to fool yourself. If you think that’s bad news, I have worse news for you. Young people aren’t coming to message boards in droves like they used to. They use social media. Ian has an uphill climb on that point alone when competing for free time. If they want to use a board, it’s Reddit. So, while you’re forcing these personalities off the board, just know that there aren’t going to be a crowd of new ones waiting in the pipeline. That means that, as the older crowd begins dying off around here, the place will get even slower and more bland until, eventually, there’s no point in renewing the membership.
Also, I would be remiss if I didn’t give a shout-out to all of the guys who used to be big time homers that packed their bags and never came back after 2019. That was predictable, too. Remember how “HARDCORE”
@luuked was? He hit the bricks at the first sign of trouble. Though he still comes around from time to time to grace us with some of the dumbest **** known to man,
@shmessy is another one. They’ve also added to the declining levels of interaction, debate, and entertainment.
