Think it is more likely that people like you and OGV...whatever... drove them away actually. And got bored of the low quality.

ogvh5150? You might completely disagree with his views but I've never seen him being uncivil or rude.

I agree. Ovgh handled himself diplomatically. Even though Ovgh, Trancer-X, occrider, and others I've missed aren't posting at least we still have Mister Opus. Now that's one smart cookie.

PDDers are supposed to prefer text over images.

Wow, this place really does blow lately. Occ, Trancer-X, ogvh5150, Yoepus, & Cyrus (and I'm sure I'm forgetting other people) have been missing for a while, not to meniton the surplus of CORish garbage being posted here lately. I had a recent PM exchange with SpaceyOrange, and I think he's leaving for good. I've been having similar thoughts lately too. If the regular are slowly disappearing and our unmoderated PDD just gets worse and worse, there won't be much reason to stay. *sigh*
Maybe I'm just stressed out (which I am) or paranoid. Does anyone else feel the same way?
...save PDD...

I too think that this place is slipping downhill, but I fail to see the rationale behind leaving it. Do you know of any better places to spend your IQ?
As long as I'm still getting a minimal amount of satisfaction from posting here, I don't see a reason to leave. (That ignore list *have* grown considerably lately, though...)

we need a vicious new mod who aint gonna let bollock arguments regarding freedom of speech get in the way of a good banning if people wanna act like clowns, theyre perfectly free to do so in the cor.
i too am sick of the poor form of some of the newer posters, but having even more people go on hiatus is just gonna make it worse for those of us that remain shaolin_Z

I dunno, I've kinda stopped posting because there's not much to post, mostly because of the low quality of threads. But I'm still lurking here every now and then...
On the positive side, I had a birthday party this saturday with a bunch of music videos from early nineties. Stuff like Dune, E-rotic, Snap, 2 Unlimited, Informer, Dr Alban, Falco..that was a lot of fun
