I feel like the quality of community on NS isn't what it used to be. Im a fairly new member but I lurked for a long time before joininh and everyone used to be more supportivve and this was a better place to be. I hope that we can all return to be the community we once were.

So NS, what do you think has caused this decline in community and the quality of our website?

I don't really think you've been here long enough to make that call. I don't think I have either so. The community is fine though. The only thing that annoys me is that homophobic slurs that used to earn bans get posted on the regular now. It just annoys me a bit. No I'm not gay, but I have friends that are. I know there are members that are and they might be offended.

Um yeah when you joined NS, it was probably going through some helpful/nice phase. You're experiencing normal NS right now

The slurs do really annoy me just because people are so ignorant when they say things. Also I don't like how people can say "faggot" and just be like "oh yeah man I was just joking when I called a random kid I have never talked to or even heard of that just because I disagree with them." I'm not gay either but I know people who are. Like yeah I say it sometimes but I'm not saying it as an insult. I think It pretty much goes along with saying n****r. It just depends in what context you say it because it carries a lot of meaning.

I think I went way off subject.

There's been no change in the 5 years I've been on this site. Kids just get slightly more mature and notice how terrible everyone is.

Everyone always says they "lurk for a few years" to make themselves seem more legit. Pisses me off.

When I first started coming to NS, Wallisch had just won superunknown and was so hot because of his thug edit and pretzels. Everything seemed so magical at the time. This was the height of Jiberish popularity. We would all have traded our dicks for some XL Jiberish hoodies and fuck it if nobody in our schools understood. E-40 was cool as fuck because 4bi9 used his shit in their edits. "cool story hansel" was still big. PK, Mike Clarke and Jon were the only ones throwing doubles. Actually this wasn't that long ago was it.

basically there is just a lot more shitposting now

I remember selling an XL Oh Word of which I was the second owner on here for $200 hahah. I feel stupid for ever having owned a Jiberish sweatshirt but gotta love that profit margin.

Ill admit that was a stupid thread, but I was bored and being immature. At least ill admit that while the rest of Ns denies the loss of community that were having.

No, no I think the rest of NS agrees that we're largely bored and immature. Just not stupid.

If you want more skiing community, find a legit cult. There's more to this site than the main forums.

yes, i'm sure it's just you out on your lone crusade with your golden lamp shining through the darkness that is ns and it's inability to admit there is a loss of community.

but, just to clarify, it's cool to make shitty threads as long as you are bored and immature? because that's 95% of ns, 95% of the time

The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be.

Things can stay the same and appear different as the person observing changes. OP, you're the one who hasn't been the same.
