Subject: Another Poster Gone

I haven't posted for a while for a reason. I was willing to tolerate FS and BW but the latest crop of morons is too much. At least FS and BW trolled effectively, that is they stimulated people with brains to refute them. I assume a business decision has been made to tolerate these guys as their page views are as valuable as anyone's. Maybe it's a cost-benefit analysis where the cost of moderation is judged not to be worth it. This was one of the few boards that was not: 1. A Chinese fanboy board full of teenage internet addicts 2. An Russian fanboy/America hater board 3. A European fanboy/America hater board 4. A board where you're knee deep in the excrement that pours out of the ears of the teenage morons that post there. Any of the above 4 ruin a board and SP is now #4. Guys with brains get banned/timeout while morons post away thread after thread of trash that finally overwhelm the board. I hope to meet Phaid, Herald, Rufus, DA, and anyone else with two gray cells to rub together somewhere else. I learned a lot from all of you.

What happened to DA?
 
If he got booted, I'm gone too...
 
Sheesh.  He is the only reason I joined...

Not sure I understand what you mean.  Darth posts regularly.  Earlm didn't mean that DA was gone from SP.

Since this seems to be the only Hot Topic -lister concerning SP-bashing I'll post this braingem here:
 
You know what StrategyPage does best? Why there is still some action even though people are allowed to say almost anything here and the entire forum receives an average 1,5 posts per day?
 
StrategyPage main view is simple.  You have just one Hot Topics list with an absolutely minimal amount of "little bits'n pieces".
 
There are no other functions in actual conversations than just read and write. No profile pictures, no personal stats. No nothing. Just beef. 
 
If there were just more beef, better moderated beef and less rotten beef - I can't see much reason to wander elsewhere. I don't even mind if someone lacks political correctness.
 
After all, opinions are like a**holes; approximately half of them are at least remotely interesting.
 
I like StrategyPage. It's like comparing gyms: StrategyPage is the gym with just basic power lifting equipment in a dark cellar with AC/DC playing loud; whereas so many other forums compare to fitness supermarkets with all the fancy equipment and filled with skinny insurance salesmen trying to slow down the process of starting to look like their wives and listening to Britney Spears in the process.

Iwanted to say something nice about this place because I had some love to share. There.
