It's nothing to do with CUS. I'm increasingly finding this forum annoying rather than entertaining. Maybe I'm stressed at the moment, but I just don't enjoy it anymore. I've only made a few posts in the last couple of weeks. Meh I dunno.
The discussions on WoS just seemed to interest me a lot more, whereas this place doesn't seem to have calmed down from the first couple of weeks of "look, we can post what we want haahah! spoon! cheesburgers!!11" and stuff. I was kinda hoping it would, but it just doesn't seem to have. I like having a larf, and this might just be me, but I'm detecting a bit of cliqueyness creeping in. Kinda like b3ta and any other message board with a number of regulars. Thing is, I'm a regular as well and I know what you're all on about most of the time. But still, I don't like it.
Sorry, but I have to agree with this.... I can't put my finger on it but the whole forum just seems to be a mess of topics which really don't deserve a topic. Maybe I'm getting too old for this, but I really can't be arsed trawling through topics going on about "I've just ridden a bike/listened to metal music/downloaded some stuff and I'm really great". At least with WoS, there was a general focus of "games" going through most of the topics. Now when I come on here there's about 6 topics, on the front page, covering games. And even then, the majority of it is just "I'm playing CoD/GTA/Forza on Xbox 360, isn't it great" with another 20 replies of "yeah.. it's great, let's play it tonight on Xbox Live". Well, it's not really interesting when you're not really interested in those games, or in the 360 for that matter. Yet, it seems that is all that's covered on here. Yes, I could post something but there's just so many posts that I have a feeling it would get lost in all of the "crap"...
Maybe it does seem to cliquey here, maybe it just seems a bunch of guys posting a load of bollocks for the sake of posting but I really can't be bothered with it all anymore. As you can see, I don't really post much but there's hardly anything that interests me in posting on here. And even worse than that... I can't be arsed even reading it. This topic really sums it up this whole forum- a topic gets created talking about a website, which can't even be named, so the non-cliquey members have absolutely no fucking idea what's being spoken about. And it looks like I'm not the only one...
Again, maybe (in the immortal words of Danny Glover) "I'm too old for this shit" but it just seems that some sense of "WoS focus" has been lost in the transition to here. I never expected it to be WoS, after all that's still going,but I was hoping it would maintain some of the "culture".
Well.. maybe that's just too much of a moany post, and I apologise for the moaning nature of it..but I'm kind of getting bored of it all...
