Unfortunately, the mod team killed the site a long time ago. Remember when there was actually a functioning system to tell you what actual breaking news was happening? Disappeared years ago due to ridiculous moderation. Remember when FR would keep you informed about things sometimes days before anyone else knew about it? Gone with the whole idiotic ‘blog pimps must die’ crusade coupled with the death of 2DV who seemed to be holding it all together almost single-handedly.

I don’t argue online anymore. It’s not worth my energy. As a result, I don’t post much these days, but I still read every day. And every day the quality of what’s here has gone down. It is no longer a reliable source to tell you what’s going on. You can read here every day and have zero clue that incredibly important things have happened.

Now, obvious trolling seems to be allowed and none of the old traditions are followed. It just sucks. I miss it. But to be perfectly frank, I don’t see that there’s much left to defend at this point. I don’t say that with glee. I think it’s just become enshittified just like everything else. That’s sad.

Yup.. Gone down, down, down.

Getting worse by the day too.

Trolls running the site.
