Title: The greatest fault of Boyah:
Post by: applesauce on January 19, 2011, 06:27:21 AM
The greatest fault of Boyah is that a lot of the threads have topics that don't correspond to their content, and aren't even created to start any sort of discussion at all. This is far and away the largest reason why I find it difficult to really get into Boyah. It's gotten a lot worse the last couple months.

I hope I don't sound like a dick or whatever. And I love you, Boyah, but seriously guys. It wasn't always like this.

Uhh you haven't exactly been around long enough to know what it "used to be like" anyway, have you?

Regardless, I don't really see the thread title thing as a real "issue," more like a nitpicky thing that doesn't really matter because the active users look in pretty much every topic on this board regardless of their titles anyway.

I don't want to say that you're overreacting and pinpointing the wrong things as problems around here, buuuut...

Also, by all means, if you think threads here aren't creating enough discussion, please post threads that will. But you'd be surprised what garners posts and what doesn't. I could post a thread that just says "talk about penises" in it, and it'd get 30 replies in an hour.

This is my third account. I had one back in fall 2008 that I used for a couple months, and then one in winter/spring 2010.

Quotedoesn't really matter because the active users look in pretty much every topic on this board regardless of their titles anyway.


Makes it difficult to be mildly active, without really putting time in.

well, i dunno, i like to think i usually make the thread content pretty clear in the title

i still don't really think it's a big issue. if you want to be active, you need to actually come here more often and read more threads and post more. that's all there really is to it. as for "getting into boyah," well what do you want out of boyah? all we really do here is just goof off and talk about geeky stuff and music and such.

I read almost every thread that is made.  doodhuh;  It's like these people are my friends and I don't ignore most of what they have to say. Like irl. Sometimes I speed read the overly gay stuff cause I feel left out.  baddood;

Boyah likes to go off topic, but I like that 'cause I can post something random and it won't get deleted.

With all do respect, I still don't think you've been around long enough to understand what Boyah used to be like. You were never even here during the PowerSpike era.

Still, the community was much smaller and more people were involved in discussions. No matter how stupid they were. And I think that since all these users like MarioFreak have been gone, the community has just never been the same. And yes, it's changed. I've been a member since '06, and I have to say that Boyah is not as enjoyable as it used to be. But to me, that's the reason for Boyah's fault. And it's not even a fault. But I still enjoy this place.

It might depend on the date people have joined. '06/'07 users may have joined to escape from NSider. '08/'09 users may have joined to participate in the discussions we have. I could be wrong, but that's my opinion.

Is that the most annoying one?

Replaying red/blue I'm slightly annoyed by Jynx's... Sure it sounds okay but it seems to be twice as long as any other pokemon

Also it's weird that it's named Lola because it makes me think it's a transvestite n_u
