An ex reg/lurkers opinion on the boards closing

I posted here almost daily from 2011 - 2013 (roughly) and it was great. Funny, knowledgeable folk talking mainly games with a few OT topics here and there.

Over time a select few started to up the OT topics and actively build animosities between themselves and other users, presumeably because they disagreed with certain things they said on the internet. Or they were made to look stupid by a stranger. On the internet.

Consider Harry. That useless Man of Steel cnt and the cartoon bigoted Canadians have spent over 10 years doing the online equivalent of kicking a kid in a wheelchair during recess. Just because his responses were limited did it really warrent the time of apparently grown men to repeatedly goad someone who may be less smart than them, often going at him in a group? Says a lot about those people to me, limp-dicked victims irl springs to mind.

So I hope the close of these boards will separate the wheat from the chaff, so those who wish to discuss games properly and those who thrive from having a fake internet persona just to make themselves vaguely interesting to other morons can find their own individual places to do their thing.

All the best to the genuine video game fans, I hope you find somewhere decent to continue your discussions. To the fcking manchildren, who along with countless others have contributed to the end of the IMDB boards, well done. Ironically this will hurt you more than the good posters.

Peace.
