This is worrying

[Evo]

I feel the newcomers to our beloved Off-Topic are falling in quality.

First Example: 'Coolest person on the net' This guys posted some bullsh!t videos by himself and proceeded to get banned and a closed thread.

Second Example:'a new type of game developer' Another thread by a newcomer that is also pretty much bullsh!t (yes i know i posted some crap in there) and has been closed, no ban...yet.

Both threads have fallen into a whole load of flaming imo.

Discuss my findings


note, don't close this please, i'll give you chocolate

[baron insig]

You ain't exactly a veteran yourself.

 

[ray_MAN]

Neither are you. A never ending cycle of newbies. We were all one once.

 

[Evo]

No i ain't a vet but i ain't a Newbie, im a Member. It's just that i suddenly saw two threads by newbie's that were closed, in one day. Just made me think...

2 threads of many, it must mean they are all rubbish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmm, i see that i have failed to make my point clear, i think this is what is am trying to say: Newly registered members are coming to Off-Topic and posting without understanding the history and illustrious members of this section. And yeah i realise this thread is now falling into a pit of meh-ness

 

[Jintor]

Don't worry, they do it everywhere.

Some days just more n00bs join than others.

Off topic was all kinds of awesome back in the day. Such classics as the arena will always live on for those that remeber it...

The arena was a stupid spam thread. There. I said it.

Go on, crucify me. Actually, don't, I'm allergic to wood!

noobs come and go. i used to worry about hl2.net falling apart someday because of this but these things just come and go... so we must all embrace them in a humorous way and the mods will do their job.

Thank you all for the reassuring comments, it is very good to hear that this isn't a sign of the Apocalypse or anything. *Evo breaths a sigh of relief*

You said you were going, so why don't you

No, he said he was going outside, it was probably raining so he came back in .

It makes me look like a spastic who has had a conversation with an imaginary person
