I remember when this place used to be an honestly caring, friendly place that felt like a family and a home. Now it's just a joke. It's sad to see what has become of the legacy Bjarne created.
Ya, it was like that back in late 2007 when I first joined
 
Interestingly, if you look at really old posts and threads here they do give off a cooler vibe, the people seem all in all less tense, less miserable, I think. It's indicative not only of the state of the internet today, but also of the situation of people and culture in general, and by that I mean the real world, outside the web. I wonder if there's anything that can be done to resurrect that.
 
You know why having an exceptional memory is both a blessing and a curse? When something happens, good or bad, you get to take a journey to remember everything similar that has happened before.

I won't say what I'm remembering, but I will always remember the words you said. I will always remember the look on your face. And I will always remember you reaching out for me.

Short of restructuring society itself, I don't think so.

The forum is a microcosm of the larger world - more specifically, people that are for whatever reason having a hard time with the larger world. And so far, everything that made a person lonely in the late '00s - early '10s, has only gotten worse today. The only thing that's gotten better, apart from tech, is that lonely people might have an easier time finding each other due to the internet.

The world was just better back then. And even then, it wasn't that great compared to the '90s. I remember being fully conscious and doing things in the '00s and thinking the times sucked, the party was over, and I wanted to go back to the '90s. Tech was less advanced but life was less competitive and more hopeful.
