I wasn't around...though I sure as heck have paid some pretty hefty dues for those good old days of the boards.

cue, laughter is good and I do agree change should be for the better (for everyone) .What I find curious is that some constantly say how they miss the old boards (about which some of us ,including myself have no personal experience of) and also that state they were nasty ? That is obviously what some people like ....perhaps that therefore would be how they get their LOL's ?

Well, they were a bit of both.....but by comparison....having only nasty is no fun is it?

There were some incredible characters like Abigneed & his never ending supply of hilarious Graphics but he was only one of many....Crikey we laughed sometimes till our sides split...seriously.  It was a place you wanted to be, even though there was the unrelenting faction of the time.    The fun was bigger than the nastiness & I guess therein lies the distinction.

With the old boards they were so busy the nasties fed on each other and everyone else could have their threads with out being interfered with by others.

Everyone could find a place that suited them, ok well nearly everyone  

I can feel a trout photo coming on

I have been slapped twice this morning simply for not agreeing with the OP. I have been slapped for my opinion & I have  stalker  troll who snipes nasty one liners ervery time I post.

So this place is not the same. Too many one eyed self opinionated nanny types now.
