This board was formed around the core of members that left SB after it became a politically repressive leftist wokespace where 'posting whilst conservative' meant we all had a delayed permaban future anyway. The 'Vast Right Wing Conspiracy' PM group was heavily focussed on political and culture war matters but was also cosy enough for us all to talk the shit about whatever random crap came up. Something we couldn't do on the main boards because one of the aforementioned arseholes Scotty mentioned or just an arsehole mod would find some excuse to infract you. The fact that so many more have joined us since then just goes to show that our issues with wokespaces were hardly unique.
This new boards moderation is far far better and hands off and I don't really see a major problem with it.
Only issue I've really seen was the recent one with the politics sub-forum where the hot head members and site owners/admins were all over-reacting to shit and as a result the most popular topic in the most popular sub-forum was shut down at a point in time where the issue is perhaps the most interesting.
I don't really give a fuck what people left on SB think about stuff. Their opinions don't enter my thoughts at all the vast majority of the time. We've got our own forum now and its better than what the one we left became.
My suggestions for improving the site?
Trim down or eliminate the number of sticky threads. There are no less than NINE in the politics subforum. Retire or demote the default tribbles emojis and replace them with proper ones that actually look like they're supposed to. And I agree that the less spread out the forums are, the better.
