And you're a fucking terrible poster who thinks that IRL friends are what's wrong with the world.

DS's talk about how much his wife hates him lends to this shit.

(https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=1019210&forum_id=2#12000502)

That wasn't really the point of the OP, however. I mostly just mean the board has been overtaken by people with a really immature and childish world view.

(https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=1019210&forum_id=2#12000527)

I know! Non-regulars need to poast moar about lulzy and lighthearted problems, so I can give advice. That way, no one will have time to bother about my therapy shit.

Most of big topics on the board have been about therapy, failing or failed relationships, alcoholism, BlueSmoke's trials and tribulations, etc. Most of this is the fault of the larger group of regulars. The "basement" guys you mentioned in the OP don't drive post counts at all here.

2) More substantial discussion of cooler, random topics

3) Less posting about the common personal themes from regs (and fewer replies)

4) More laid back posters stepping up their posting

(https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=1019210&forum_id=2#12000637)

5) We could use a new board whipping boy. Having someone like saltybabe or rasquach or SonicYouth to mock creates cohesiveness.

6) Basement virgins have their place. Their silly questions keep other posters occupied without being so grief-stricken.

(https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=1019210&forum_id=2#12000705)

6) Who are these folks besids pensive and maybe nyuug? I haven't really seen these guys drive conversation before

What happened to law school posters like NathanSmith, etc that could talk about school stuff and school life.

(https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=1019210&forum_id=2#12000774)

6) Just a bunch of one off posters asking how to ask out a girl or whatever. Relationship stuff for people who like such things, but not so heavy.

7) He was outed and retired. And he was much more a 5) than a poster whose opinions on school people cared about. Also, it's summer, no one's thinking about school. This isn't really the way to fix the problem anyway, because we posters who annoy you will ignore those threads and just start our own depressing ones. We need to be part of the solution.

The board has been very helpful in the past. I even have a date tonight with a girl I made out with for the first time a few days ago.

Not necessarily my lulziest work but I am becoming less and less pathetic

(https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=1019210&forum_id=2#12006694)

Sexy mess syndrome.

(https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=1019210&forum_id=2#12000607)

But honestly, I can see how the combined power or 4 or 5 regulars' ridiculous personal lives is getting to be a little too much too.

(https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=1019210&forum_id=2#12000620)

I haven't been posting that much about my personal life and have to leave all he good stuff out anyway.

But fair.

the compulsive need to have a boyfriend at all times kind of disgusts me though. people who lack any real sense of independence piss me off.

You and I are just constantly arguing with morons who have an exceedingly sophmoric and unnuanced understanding of IRL and then the next day, we bitch about our lives and they rightly make fun of us.

Seems kind of pointless.

(https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=1019210&forum_id=2#12000731)

I might pick it back up in times of emotional distress, I'll see. It's summer, too.

Good fucking riddance.

You are absolutely one of the worst offenders of the shit you are bitching about in the OP.

I hope to God you retire because you add nothing to this board. Oh no, your unattractive old wife won't fuck you and your retarded dog choked on a towel and cost you a ton of money at the vet! That's fucking fascinating man, you should post about it for months and then complain about how other posters don't entertain you enough!

You're an unfunny old in a failing marriage with no kids, a shitty academic pedigree from a TTT and a bleak financial and family future. There is nothing about you that is interesting or remotely intriguing. You're a horribly depressing character, and this is coming from the guy who posted here on New Years Eve. You obviously think you're clever, witty and incredibly sophisticated but you consistently seem outclassed when you try to engage in witty repartee with posters who are obviously objectively smarter than you. Your jokes and insults have all the subtlety of a sledgehammer.

Yet you shit on posters like Fish all the time...the problem, of course, is that even people who don't like Fish would probably agree that he is twice the poster you will ever be, and ten times as entertaining on his worst day. And maybe it's "pathetic" to say someone is a "better internet poster" or w/e like it's an accomplishment. I'm sure that'll be the first cutting response you post here. Yet here we are, posting in the thread that you created to whine about the decline of an internet message board that you helped to destroy, as you post on the internet late at night instead of trying to take action in the bedroom to save your floundering marriage.

I sincerely HTH.

OP is such a faggot

stabby is the worst poster on here these days.
