I Am The Past Newbiei'm an old user, been on this site since 2011. i've quit since then, and i don't know what propelled me to come back - it might be the stress, the loneliness, the sucky s--- of a world we live in, i don't know, but this site made my adolescence. and it's sad to see it go down such a s----f----ass spiral since i left. now, i don't know how it's doing now. but i remember when i tried to come back from the 2013 - 2015 period, everything sucked - the site became extremely cliquey, too many stupid trolls, immature people joined, and the people i used to know - the people who made this place great, were either inactive or gone. a sense of belonging prevailed over this place. yes, there were cliques, as there always will be, but it wasn't as awkward to branch out. yes, there were trolls, as there always will be, but the fights brought us closer. and yes, there were fights among us, but they were always resolved sooner or later (or resulted in one party leaving). when people posted about their problems in the study or relationships forum, it wouldn't die as quick as it does today - others would offer support/advice/meaningful discussions, not like those stupid-ass "rate" or "game" threads people thrive in now.
i don't expect the tides to turn back -- ever, but it is approximately two am, and i have been pondering my life, particularly the time i hit puberty, which was when i discovered this site. everyone knows puberty isn't easy, but i'm glad i made the friends i did, had fun on the forums and the quizzes. i am about to turn 18 in a year from now, and looking back on my adolescence experience, it all sucked. i was weird, had no friends, couldn't really get a date after awhile, and probably won the award for the loneliest person in the world. but the two years before that were the best years of my life. and that's because of you
thank you gtq -- you're dead now, but it's okay -
>gimme sympathy
suck it up, the trolls fought hard and well -
first of all, this website is not a therapy session
nobody is inclined to offer you advice or cure your self-proclaimed ""depression""
this site is barren, people grow and along with growth also comes a change of interests and hobbies
most of the people who thrive on this site are a collection of oldfags and newfags who get wet over their mary sue mutants and mediocre """"art""""" and writing material
oldfags that I know are cynical and aren't the most confrontational
newfags are more persistent and willing to communicate with anyone, and resemble the malignant AUTISM of the internet
offensive speech is no longer caressed, mods are sick and tired of this website, the lulz that used to exist has dwindled, and people grew out of their tumblrite emo phase to basement dweller to developing teenager who is a peppy demigirl who only wants peace, love, and happiness,,,,,, hahahaahaha,,,,,,,,,
get over it, nostalgiafag
gtq has ALWAYS been s---, there was no golden age -
Haha, Drew doing what Drew does best: essentially being a f-----.
On the subject at hand though, this was very nice to read. I likely wasn't around the time you were, but I think I have a good idea of what you mean. And yeah, many of us who were still around back then do recognize that the site has changed. It's as if we slowly went through our own cultural evolution, like how america went from powdered wigs and racism to massive LGBTQ acts (like mobs and s---) and f---bois s---posting on twitter.
Things do change as they get older, for better or for worse. That's just the facts, and there's no way we can prevent it. We just have to accept it, y'know? Roll with the punches. Adapt. And to be honest, as long as you keep an open mind, it's not that hard to do. I'm not saying you have to like the new changes of the world we live in (or GTQ for this matter), but it's best to just look and say "okay".
I hope this makes decent sense.
