I'm not completely gone, but I don't find any reason to post usually. The problem with this forum is the same problem its always had. Lack of respect for pretty much anyone.
Lets be honest, you goto any respectable msg board (wrestling or otherwise) and there are some basic common rules. No flaming, no hate speech or words, etc. Yet whenever anyone has tried to enforce rules like that around here, members who feel they are above these rules or don't think that using the "n" word for example is wrong ever, may get banned but know all the tricks to get around bans and what not. So they come back do it again or find ways around it by using the bold code because the filter won't detect it. Eventually the admins give up, that member is back and the rule is not enforced. New members who find this abusive or disrespectful leave. Then those same members who don't feel these rules apply to them question why there are no new members.
The reason there are no new members is because this places reputation is to be blunt, SHIT. You can change the places name, you can change the staff, you can do a million things, but at the end of the day, unless you are willing to have normal discussions without dropping, hate and anger and insulting people, and actually enforcing these rules against such behaviour, your never going to acheive the activity levels that you want.
