Same here. I'm actually a lot more inclined to read threads when there aren't 67 useless replies in the first five minutes to sort through. Not to mention the useless threads themselves.

It's nice, however, we still need AssHat Fridays.
Obviously :p

It's always fun when you get a rash of dumbass entertaining threads... as long as they go away and everything goes back to normal for the majority of the time.

I think there is still plenty of quality asshatery on a daily basis, just without the uneeded stress and drama. Westy likes.

What was the source of the change? A recent banning? Sorry, I didn't get the memo.

I like it soooo much better now. I think 99.9% of the problem was one single poster.

The others were just caught up in his dramas... be nice to see some of them back in a month or so.

so justsomeguy got a vacation, he's been on my ignore list for months.
Is the stinky one on vacation as well? Even though he's a bit inflamatory, I still like 'em.

It is funny how one person could push the buttons of another enough to get him banned! For as long as I have been on the monkey people have been begging for a certain monkey to leave, and it wasn't until the new rules were in effect that that person got a little time out!

I like the changes, and I like the quality responses! the lounge is again a good place to hang out in. There isn't an e-pissing contest ever 2 posts anymore!

AFAIK Loco, Stinky and JSG got a time out. Personally I find that aside from JSG, it's other peoples comments that needed to be banned, not Loco or Stinkyboy. Loco makes one post then 10 people post asshat comments and he defends himself. For that he gets banned. If you ask me, anyone who has ever posted "Loco Sucks" needs to be banned.

JSG is on my ignore list so he doesn't bother me.

I bet I can pee higher on a wall than you can. :blah:

The sentiment is indeed correct though. The lounge is really a fun place to be again, and it's much more enjoyable without being set upon by jackals when you comment on something or post something. :thumb: Awesome RM!

Uh, I gave Loco the benefit of the doubt. I am not one to start chanting stuff because the crowd does it.

I remember I wrote something disagreeing with Loco, and he called me a c**t. Maybe it was just a word and I shouldn't be sensitive, but his asinine and argumentative stance was impossible to deal with, and that is what came through every time we interacted.

It has been quite nice. I have tried not to be an ass in public and use PM to voice objections, but sometimes people can push harder than I.

Nice to know things are a little more friendly around here. I thought it was just me.

yeah.
there was a "great MTB chat" just in the past two days in the south.

but now it's gone.

kind of like when a hurricane comes through.
it gathers and stirs up everything in its path, and leaves a calm dead void when it leaves.
not to worry though.
there's always a storm out on the horizon sitting there churning.
