I realize that change is inevitable, but that knowledge doesn't make it feel any better. We've lost so many familiar users over the progression of Boyah 1.0 and Boyah 2.0 that it feels like we've got too many strangers here. No, I'm not just talking about SloppyJimbo.

And what's more, it feels like there's so little to do around here these days. Activity is dominated so strongly by the chat thread that there's very rarely any decent threads to post in (at least not in The Lobby). The Shop is totally dead, so there's no enjoyment out of updating that anymore. There is no longer any enjoyment out of the silly little antics of administrators...things like old flash parties and the weeks-long struggle to find the perfect anime to stream on Anime Night. Simply put, nothing fun ever happens here anymore.

Hell, there's hardly even any reason to moderate anymore. It's become pretty clear that if I just quit, others pick up the slack pretty quickly. No, I'm not just dropping my mod position, but it may be something I do if I get bored enough to mostly leave this place.

So, for those of you who have been here long enough to know about the fun, close-knit Boyah family we used to have, do you feel the way I do? What do you hate about nu-Boyah, and what should we do to improve it? Or am I just spewing nonsense?

Feels like copypasta but also seems so specific

Idk same old shit to me. I just miss the activity

Is this copypasta? Because I notice no difference in manyposters between now and the days preceding 2.0 lol

I've been posting a tad less but that has nothing to do with 2.0, just life stuff. JMV has been mostly absent for many weeks/months/years now. Hiro has been MIA since he decided he wanted to do Boyah awards a year ago. Strongdavid is doing his bike thing.

I think its more grownupstuff than Boyah 2.0 lol

Alright, I'm out. Bye Boyah. 

We're really just at 2.0 beta

I guess I couldn't save Boyah. I'll let Hippo know.

Dude... flash parties, the boyah radio, shop, arcade...

Yeah those times are seemingly far behind us. Most of us are on the brink of adulthood. It makes sense we will have less time for Boyah as a community.

Now I don't think it's all for the worse though. I personally think Boyah was on the decline until 2.0 came out. Sure it lost a lot of the charm built in from the customized theme and layout but if we want to it is possible to do so.

lmao alright i can't bite my tongue for any longer or else i'll start bleeding

It's amazing how effective that copypasta is, two months short of ten years later.

NO COME BACK IT'S ANCIENT COPYPASTA

The very fact that you're posting again at all is clear evidence that you've saved Boyah.

Try toggling the desktop version of Boyah on your mobile device, it's even better.

if you're on chrome, settings>desktop site
