What in the ever-loving fuck happened to this place? I poke my head in here after...*checks*...nine years, and what do I find?

I get a captcha demand every three links I click. Half the time, clearing the captcha just loads ANOTHER CAPTCHA. Hello, assholes, I'm SIGNED IN, I shouldn't even get ONE.

The General forum is apparently gone, and fuck knows how long that's been a thing.

Half the BBS threads I click on in the community tab are behind paywalls.

Portal's full of shitty AI porn.

The Elite Guard Barracks are totally joyless.

Apparently prominent former NG'er Stamper became a drug-addicted crazy person and criminal and literally got trespassed from a CHURCH for being a drunk piece of shit.

Fucking wow. I'm glad I left. Good luck to whoever's still here.
