I don't notice too many differences, although the thread titles do seem less interesting than they used to. I think that's due to my own increasing indifference though. I'm much less of a fanboy than I was when I first joined. I also miss certain members who used to frequent this place, like Amonbrune, titsworth, and others that elude my memory at the moment.
Remember that guy named 'BILE'? He (she?) had a short stint but it was a laugh riot.

"It seems as things kind of died down like a party at 3am
when things slow down and arent so crazy."
This is the perfect analogy. I've been thinking this for ages, and pretty much given up on xlt because of it. It used to be wonderful, now it's not so much.
All other points worthy of being brought up have been, so all I'll reiterate is that what xlt needs.... is the wacky hilarity that used to make it great. We're all in agreement there.
I've especially noticed your penchant and knack for this stuff, vpusha; last memorable time was the pictures of the guy doing sign-language. Brilliant; made me laugh hella lots. It unfortunately didn't spawn lots of similarly zany threads over the time that followed, but i think it's a thing with which we'll have to have patience.

Too much of the same discussions going on. A lot of people who think they're funny but really aren't. I rarely visit messageboards in general anymore.
Never really had a blast when I joined, but at least it was entertaining from time to time. It's just boring now.

Yeah, but surreal threads are greeted with cynicism and bitterness by a few, which probably turns people off making them.
And don't worry, even if the reception to them was warmer-I wouldn't start making any posts like that. I don't have the knack. ;-)

For me the challenge of writing something funny or interesting here is a bit too hard to do without getting personally attacked by people I respect.
My hesitation usually ends in a bounty of banality.

never fucking mind them. If they want to be grumpy old men, that's their problem, and that a few other people should have you scared from having fun doesn't really make any sense.
they may occasionally moan or complain, but that's just the pains of the old men slowly killing them so nevermind it - it is inevitable.
who is it that is supressing you? tell me, and I'll send an angry email to their mom.

I've been here since 2002 and to be honest, I haven't really noticed a huge change. There have always been trollers. But I guess now they're jus not even funny or random. More just boring.. I suppose that's the only thing I've noticed really. Maybe it's just because I've never been on here all that regularly that I haven't seen big differences

Yeah. You are dead on. I guess that was one of the things that appealed to me was that they were so funny at times. They've since been longed banned. I guess they leave that empty space behind that doesnt get filled and perhaps maybe thats what i noticed.

Yeah, in many ways it's a shame that they've been banned. I know they obviously broke the rules, but they were funny you know? Actually funny, not just people trying to be random. There's nothing worse than that!

I have memories of sitting with Max (Xammax) with him pissing himself, reading xltronic. Can't really imagine that happening anymore! Something has changed but I guess it's been pretty gradual so it's hard to pinpoint what exactly!

Its hard work to consistantly be funny. It seemed like that happened frequently at the height of XLT. Old faces who werent yet gone that were pissing about making redicilous comments and reviving a boring old thread by being completely outlandish.
Back then it didnt seem as common as a big serious thread would turn into a heated debate and then it turns into a feces throwing match that gets carried across threads.
Nowadays that seems more common

we need a thread about threads that are about threads about threads, and whether or not they've gotten better, or worse.
that'll help us to get to the bottom of all this.

I don't feel it's too bad. I think it's natural for the ''old guard'' on messageboard to feel this way occasionally as a lot of things change and people they liked post less/ride off into the sunset. This happens on every board... they all seem to reach their peaks 6 months into their existence and then spiral into oblivion for the next 5-10 years... despite never really changing all that much, ha. Granted I don't post or read as much as I used to but I'm still and still post every day, so I still see what's going on.
I think it's fine. *shrug. And I certainly don't think it's ''too serious!''. It's plenty decadent, sometimes I want it to be less so.
But not TOO serious. I can never forget those fun days back in late '01, that was something else... not many boards like that on the internet anymore. Beatlesonline was another board I used to post on that didn't require accounts and had no mods, it was equally insane and surreal while it lasted.
