It has always been irreverent and comically negative here. It's part of what gives GB its charm (and I've been on here or browsing since its inception).
The one thing that does bother me is that it appears that the board has lost a lot of members over the years. The G & O section used to be a hive of activity with threads constantly being started and bumped..nowadays you can check back after a few hours and only a handful of replies will have been posted.
I am not sure what caused this..it is not the negativity because that has always been there and out of it has come some of the funniest moments in GB's history.
I don't know what happened but at some point a lot of guys left, or newbies got ran off, something! I don't know because my real life was kinda great back then
Something happened to change the G&O..maybe they started moving more threads to different boards, more modding, less things allowed to stay up?
