95% of them suck and are created for the sole purpose of talking shit to people that the account holder doesn't have the balls to say under his real account.
The other 5% are funny and have their place on any board IMO, but they have gotten out of control.
That's the truth right there...
Too many god damn gimmicks. If it's funny, great... if it's boring blah blah shit... it needs to go... And it doesn't belong on the Y.
