I actually miss how this forum was back in 2008-2012, it was a perfect mix of actual discussion and some trolling. There are still a few good posters out there, but NBA forum is beyond toxic at this point. I say it went to total shit around 2015 or 2016 or so, I noticed in general the posters became super toxic and unhappy.

Agreed, it used to have an appeal back then. The big names have left and it’s just 24/7 continuous trolling. Every thread in the main is about Lebron. OTC is straight garbage. Schizos running loose. The forum lost its appeal years ago. Trolling has always been a pillar of this forum, but it was actually entertaining when we had good posters. Now it’s just the same cyclical toxic bs trolling. Might as well be monkeys throwing feces at each other.

Jeff doesn’t ban anyone besides Kennethgriffin. He used to actually ban people, thus quality was better.

Idk if it's a result of being lenient or the modding here has been left up in the air at this point but at least they don't ban anyone easily which may be good and bad at the same time.

just from my point of view, I don't remember it being that much different in 2009-2012... still a lot of Jordan vs Kobe vs LeBron & "Your Top 10 Players" lists back then

Main difference I see is different posters and there are less posters now

There was tons of threads like that back then, but the trolling was more clever. You also had great insight from posters fatal9 & shaqattack on daily bases, probably two of the best posters this site has seen.

name a more garbage forum, i dare you.

This is an incredibly nuanced and complicated subject that is so multifaceted I don't even know where to begin because the implications of such discussion far outreach this specific board and they go to the downright core of humanity, the influence of the internet on our thought processes and etc. It's a lot, too much to post. Here's a few 'quick' notes.

As for your question... 4chan.org/b/ - Immaturity to the maximum extreme, if you so care to look. Pretty sure they don't delete anything except the one single absolute worst thing humanity has to offer, imo. But in terms of allegedly "normal" forums? Yeah, this is up there. I probably can't name one.

The problem is, however, how do you moderate a forum in a clean way that allows free speech and while also avoiding a bunch of circle jerking group think? A tall task, I dare say. Reddit discussion is mostly clean but it's a bunch of circlejerk group think with a bunch of morons upvoting each other. This forum is largely unmoderated and it's a bunch of schizos running the asylum. Jeff probably deserves far more credit than I give him for, but the alts are out of control. That's the biggest gripe. I know for a fact he has access to all of the IPs and he just lets them run wild. Even the guys that are using VPNs aren't likely to have a different VPN connection for every single alt so it's probably super easy to expose them via their network identifier and subnet identifier but I could be wrong.

The LeBron obsession we'd already seen before. It's not unique to him. Back in the day there were literal days were every single topic on the front page was Kobe related. 100% of topics. 100%. It's more extreme today because of the advent of technology via smartphones/more home internet but the behavior is exactly the same. Anyone who has posted here long enough knows that. It's just a little more deafening now because LeBron is a better player and because of the tech factor. Unluckily for you guys LeBron probably won't retire for another 3+ years and it'll take at least 1 more after that for the obsession to start to dry up with all of the more than semi-casual morons that can't stop posting about him.

This board is largely the same as it has always been... the biggest difference nowadays is there are less than a handful of posters with 30+ alt accounts at a minimum. Most of them aren't posting at the same time but some of them are and it's pathetically obvious. If Jeff would just out everyone using an alt and give the moderators that remain access to view IPs this place would be a lot better although far from perfect... hell I've posted on a few alts in order to try to just post here peacefully but some of these guys won't allow it. They keep baiting me over and over and over, even on the other accounts I've tried.

Can you imagine the hilarity for us and utter shame that like one or two guys that post here would have if their alts were ousted that talk to each other and spam rolling emoticons at their own jokes? One day I will buy this shit board when they piss me off enough and burn it to the ground with this sort of thing.

But I digress...

If you want to increase your happiness level, you would do yourself a favor to get rid of your smartphone and Internet connection as much as possible. However, it comes at a steep cost. Boredom.

Boredom or peace. You pick. It's hard to avoid boredom and also be 100% at peace, in my experience.

Yep, you could have discussions on most teams around the league, and there were some creative threads back then. Now, most threads get derailed by some LeBron/Jordan agenda.

You just look like a dumbass.

Not everybody sits in a cubicle from 8-5 M-F, so your posting habits aren't going to reflect his.

Then to be on a basketball forum complaining someone is posting in game threads...that is the ultimate purpose of this place. I very clearly remember a game night a few weeks ago and you posted a picture of your "setup" to laugh at Louie, game on in the background and your feet up. Every argument you've made here, you contradict yourself...and regularly too.

Try to let your rage out somehow...I get the Louie thing, but you carry the voice of RRR3 and highwhey around in your head. :roll:

My point is, if we're having a biggest loser contest between a prolific poster (highwhey or anyone else for that matter) or someone that spends between 8-5 every weekday following them around like a lapdog talking about what a loser they are, YOU are bound to come off as the bigger loser.

This forum is trash, and we all love it because of it. He's here, you're here, I'm here. Yes, you are a hypocrite if your constant attention seeking criticisms of OP and others are all things you do yourself routinely. Spending substantial time here? Check. Posting during games? Probably, as you were posting pictures of yourself watching a game a few weeks ago as it was happening. Posting on weekends? Who knows, but you're at minimum 2/3. :hammerhead:

Make a pie chart of your posts and 80% of them are directly about highwhey, RRR3, bladefd, Lebron23, so on and so forth. If they're that on your mind at work, you may have a bigger problem.

Pretty hard to forget somebody humble bragging about an average size TV and a couch they picked up at Goodwill. When you're not bitching about some other poster, you use this place like your blog. Sorry you have selective amnesia about it.

Yup, got it... whoever you are. I'm sure you'll recall this back and forth months or years from now.

Considering me, you and Patrick were taking turns beating on poor Louie before the thread got deleted, it's pretty difficult to forget a post like that from a few weeks ago. Sorry that your memory is shit and that you are the one that can't refute.

You're the one missing the point...don't act like you never post during games if you're going to post oversize photos of your feet up on the couch with a game on in the background. Louie is merely a point of reference to spark your feeble mind.

i'm not even saying i could do a better job, just saying this place required some attention. and yeah, to your point about the internet changing things, that's true, shit was going to have an effect on the forum regardless...forums are a dying medium, everyone takes to twitter or reddit/r/nba for basketball discussion, and to a lesser degree real gm. but overall forums are a dying trend. still, this place had its charm that made it so appealing and unique, but the complete lack of moderation ruined it.

there was always some very weird trolls too, like that rocketsgreatness guy that absolutely would not stop, guy plauged this forum like a disease. now its 3ball and those that take his bait. every thread in the main gets monopolized into a lebron discussion. i don't remeber 2008 ISH being like that about any one player. we had kobe threads, but you could still get a thread going about KG or Nash or Dirk. heck, i used to discuss Amare Stoudemire. try to discuss anyone not named lebron and you'll have 3ball or hamtardo spamming their narratives.

it's too late to correct the situation anyhow. i don't even know why i made the thread. the forum is permanently a cesspool. if you do happen to purchase it, at least do us a favor and expose the alts. list their IP's for everyone to see.

All sane posters have fled.

I actually miss how this forum was back in 2008-2012, it was a perfect mix of actual discussion and some trolling. There are still a few good posters out there, but NBA forum is beyond toxic at this point. I say it went to total shit around 2015 or 2016 or so, I noticed in general the posters became super toxic and unhappy.

This site lacks order and a good sense of humor. You get your feeling hurt, start an alt and low key destroy the vibe

If admin took out all alts this place would be back to top form

Agreed, it used to have an appeal back then. The big names have left and it’s just 24/7 continuous trolling. Every thread in the main is about Lebron. OTC is straight garbage. Schizos running loose. The forum lost its appeal years ago. Trolling has always been a pillar of this forum, but it was actually entertaining when we had good posters. Now it’s just the same cyclical toxic bs trolling. Might as well be monkeys throwing feces at each other.

You sure it's just Lebron? The Jordaneers are even more unstable about a guy who hasn't been relevant in 20 years

You just look like a dumbass.

Not everybody sits in a cubicle from 8-5 M-F, so your posting habits aren't going to reflect his.

Then to be on a basketball forum complaining someone is posting in game threads...that is the ultimate purpose of this place. I very clearly remember a game night a few weeks ago and you posted a picture of your "setup" to laugh at Louie, game on in the background and your feet up. Every argument you've made here, you contradict yourself...and regularly too.

Try to let your rage out somehow...I get the Louie thing, but you carry the voice of RRR3 and highwhey around in your head. :roll:

At least rawimpact gets involved in basketball discussion

You OTOH is post exclusively in gossip threads like this. You clearly have no social life and use this place as an outlet.

the answer was yes, it is. no evidence was presented to the contrary. close the thread, shut the forum down. smash the servers into pieces.
