All these new users cannot comprehend just how the forums use to be.
From its old theme background to how the old UI system.
[b]One reason why the forum is "dead" is because post only last 24 hours.[/b]
After 24 hours without bump, the post is then lost into post limbo.
Thanks to the new implemented policy and system, we can no longer see old great post.
Just shit post after shit post full of click bait and utter nonsense.

Just be sure to put 'shameless self-bump' on your thread every 24 hours.
-
Solaris, you seem different than I remember. +1
-
That's why you re-post your post every 24 hours. Problem solved. That'll be $201.50 for my services.
-
I'll tell ya what ruins forums. Those SPOOKY people. There everywhere.
-
I miss longface
-
Welp, what do you want us to post "o great Solaris"?
-
That's actually somewhat of a problem. A post might get 300 comments and 50 upvotes or something. Then it just comes to a complete, unprecedented halt.
-
Another reason, you exist.

I come back here periodically, and over the past few years I've seen the same topics over, and over, and over. I don't get how anyone could spend every day of their lives posting about "hurr durrr de liberals". But it's boring as hell to me at this point.
-
What suggestions can you offer?
-
Or maybe because all of the posts are low quality. I see you managed to come crawling back to this site.
-
Or maybe because most of the newer #offtopic post is uncreative and boring.
-
I only come here when there is nothing to do and I feel like watching other people suffer. Thank goodness for all the non-toxic groups I'm in.
-
I come to the forums and then I see a bunch of -I shat myself AMA -I asked a girl to lend me a book AMA -5 likes and I'll slap my mom -gender shit -politics shit -harambe shit And thn I close the app.

Bungie is slowly killing off the old community to make way for the children.

I hate this UI. The old one wasn't broken yet they made it worse.

Hi Solaris
-
Have you ever considered the fact that no posts here warrant any more than 24 hours. Most shouldn't get 24 minutes.
-
Oh god, this crap.. You old elite nerd you.. "NERDY I remember back in my day when the internet was cool... " NEWS/NERD ALERT: THIS JUST IN, THE INTERNET WAS NEVER COOL AND NEITHER ARE YOU...ALSO JUST IN: WHITE VAN PATROLLING ALL LOCAL CITIES HAS CITIZENS CONCERNED. POLICE HAVE IDENTIFIED IT AS THE MAIL MAN. ALL IS WELL...MORE AT 11...."

I may be relatively new here, but I've been a long time forum user in general and I can agree with this. A lot of older forums that I used to frequent are not what they used to be and I'm guessing the same is for B.net. To me, forums are a bit like the music charts. In the old days good posts would stay at the top, the new ones would slowly rise and the crap wouldn't get the light of day. Now posts just come and go and the good gets lost in all the shitposts because everyone wants their say, their 30 seconds of fame. Plus this is always made worse during the US election season, where any good post will really struggle in the absolute deluge of political chest beating nonsense and he said she said bullshit.

It would help if the default sorting was by "new" rather than "trending"
-
I kinda feel it's the opposite, actually. I think the trending page is one of the worst additions to the site in years. Before it, many more threads were created in a day because the flow of traffic only allowed the very popular threads to stick around on the first couple of pages for more than an hour or two. Now the trending page keeps threads in sight for literally weeks sometimes. Some of these threads getting multiple hundreds of replies. If a thread got that many replies back in the day.. it was very, very rare.

You could list a thousand reasons why bnet is dead bruh. That's a nice one though. One reason behind it is just control.

The spies who call themselves moderators are too nosy and iron lords lore is not very interesting.
