Had I known that one thread about "hiding a stiffy," would have started a revolution...I wouldn't have done it. It was a poor attempt to be comical. I joke about sexuality a lot...but I have more respect for Justin than to do something that would affect the quality of a website that he has so much vested in.

Once I realized that no one thought it was actually funny, I regretted it. Simple as that.

You do really need to pick up your game though....Sage is running away with the Internetz Bad Ass title.

Really? And then 5 minutes later you post this?

And not only do you post it on this thread, but on another as well. You are doing the same as what this thread is complaining about.

I try to come on here but I can only stand so much of the childish ignorance that's allowed on here. As much as everyone on JJ complained about the mods at least the threads were in most cases readable....unlike all the BS stuff that this site seems to have. I think if it's going to go anywhere there is going to have to be some type of rules or it will just continue to be a hangout for 12 year olds instead of a somewhat useful information source, which is what JJ was before everyone bailed when the $12.00 fee kicked in. Even with the lower numbers of posts/posters, JJ is still my preferred site due to fact that all the kids seem to have jumped over to this one.

I still think it's funny that so many seriously think it's kids.

We've done age threads on here... it's mtrulz and a handful of others that are actually that young.

It's a bunch of poor excuses for adults here... instead of using the default "damn kids" line, take a look in the mirror instead.

99% of this site is probably adults well over the age of 18.

JJ is a ghost town. I am still a member over there. The $12 was cool with me, but I can talk to myself for free anytime which it seemed like what I was going to have to do over there.

If you are looking for a message board to be a reliable source of information, only click on the threads that might contain the information you are looking for. What information were you looking to gain by clicking a thread about softball players or soccer players being gay?

Part of being an adult is making decisions and being responsible for those decisions. And I am not attacking anyone personally, it is just that everyone is bitching about this "immature stuff". If the thread title looks immature, move on and click one that doesn't look so immature. Pretty fucking simple afterall.

This is a message board folks....if you're offended by the content, don't click on the link or...there are thousands more you can just as easily go join.

If the administrators are offended by the content, change the rules. It's not rocket science.

If there were not "childish" threads, and no "hateful" threads.....what fun would a message board be?

I don't get on here to "read the news." I get on here to have fun...escape my day-to-day activities and to stay/act young, when I have to be professional and mature in every other aspect of my life. I think that's the purpose of message boards, isn't it?

The only complaint I had was the number of threads pertaining to the same subject. Example if you think a sport is gay, fine start a thread and say post what sports you think are gay here. We don't need a separate thread for each gay sport, that is gay!

I am not offended by anything or anyone, that wasn't the point of the thread.

Using a different approach: let's say a new restaurant opens up, and it is AWESOME, and every time you go there are 20-30 things on the menu that really kick ass. Then a few months later, sure there are 1-2 steaks on the menu that look good, but now the menu is 90% brussel sprouts and uninspired salads. That is how I feel about this site right now.

If you come on this site to "have fun," shouldn't this site be, you know, fun?

It does get old but the cliche troublemakers have no lives so even if you ban them they'll find some way to come back and do worse because they think it means something. Occasionally it's funny but then its beaten down worse than Tila Tequila after another Chargers playoff loss.

If kids read it oh well. Kids read a lot worse if allowed to wander around the internet without supervision, and its not like most of them aren't joking with their friends about this stuff anyways. This is not exactly the village anyone wants to put in charge of raising anyone's children.

If there are any middle school kids reading this all my I can say is quit playing modern warfare 2 online. You rarely know what you're doing, you're annoying as hell with those 'my balls haven't dropped' 6 year old girl voices, and you ruin the game for the poor bastards who are stuck with you on their team.

That is all.

I can quit, trust me. I'll just be a ruthless, judgmental dick to everyone. It's evident those types of persona's are more accepted and necessary to improving this site.

can we make an extra forum where Sage, snotbubbles, mtrulz, and all the other multiple personalities can go and just talk to themselves and call each other gay?

I am not offended by any subject and if a kid is on here reading it, it's not my problem it's their parents!! We just don't need 50,000 threads on the same subject!

I felt bad laughing. But I did.

I didn't even read the rest of your post, which I will now do.

Plus, I don't think the complaints are about people wanting it to be "serious"

It's the level of repetitive, juvenile based stuff....at least that's where I'M coming from.

The whole thing with mtrulz got so stupidly out of hand, and it would likely still be going on now if it wasn't stopped on some level. And people were getting INTO it. That's where my mind was blown.

I think it's pretty evident everyone kisses their asses so they don't become the next victim...so I think I'm paying more attention then most.

There exists a certain bit of irony in those complaining about the quality of topics but rarely start any.

It goes in cycles, just like all the topics rendered for discussion.
