Hey, FRiends. Check out ChinaBoy's post on June 17, 2008 ("Come and chat") and the 223 responses. Compare it to today's thread started by the same gentleman. You'll notice what a civil place was in 2008 and how people genuinely wanted to be friends with him. Today, many of the responses are hostile and some are downright ugly. Not nice, people.

I just read through, there were quite a few cynical posts the first time as well. Not really all that different.

Chinaboy's first post was on 12 May 2008 on a thread about the Great Sichuan Earthquake, which occurred that day:
