I prefer the term dysfunctional.

The majority of the posters in DC do nothing but discuss politics and occasionally come into the Lounge, which makes everything worse.

Poetry is also something missing from this generation of CP.

I remember reading some pretty creative stuff back in the day.

I think guys like DCS/ROR/SDH are what ruined this board. I'll agree to an extent that 2009 was the beginning of this board's demise, but not necessarily because of the influx of Pats fans who came over. There was a lot of disagreement about Sanchez between guys who were involved in every football thread. I debated with Dane, Hamas, OTWP, milkman, etc. Usually we had good discussions. The problem was that every other post was some non-sensical response from DCS that was neither funny or clever, but annoying.

Then it seemed like he attracted other non-intelligent posters who just repeat the same meme over and over and in turn football threads aren't even worth participating in. Now every football thread has GloryDayz and other guys like that just repeating the same things over and over, and much like DCS's old posts, no one ever replies to them, but it makes reading and participating in those threads impossible.

Yup.

There was once a time that CP itself had the balls to rid our board of trolls.

No mods required.

When we started treating n00bs with kid gloves we damaged CP's immune system...

The idea that was some "mob" is ridiculous.

Both sides engaged in inflammatory and vitriolic behavior.

The "he started it" thing is completely childish.

I was on the "wait and see" side by the way, and I know how it went.

What's your take on Neils Bohr's quantum theory versus Hugh Everett's so-called Multiple Universes theory of quantum physics? I'd just love to hear you talk about something else you don't understand.

I agree that 2009 is a remarkable year, no doubt. Despite career day _efense and GoChiefs' Herm Warfare, this board was largely a homer board. CP attached to classic homeresque scapegoats like Eric Hicks, Eric Warfield, Greg Robinson and Gunther Cunningham. The shift to a critical board started in 2009 and was led with much hostility from Dane, Hamas, etc. People alike (sick of losing) and people opposed (hopeful fans) adapted this posting style even if they weren't nearly as skilled to do so. I think guys like OTWP need to take some accountability into their role in this development.
