I've been lurking on a part-time basis on this new board for most of the last week or so, and a few times i've felt like contributing but i haven't gone through with it.
When i've been examining the reasons why this might be, i figured out that it has nothing to do with how the new board looks, feels or smells, but everything to do with the toxic atmosphere from the old board caused by the endless yawnfest of trolling, the result of which had left me almost completely uninterested in even visiting the site.
It's true that this new place is still a board for the privileged and reasonable few until the mass-migration occurs, but even so i've just had that feeling that i can't be arsed dealing with trolls or those with general dickheadery as a default setting. the calibre of poster that had become so prevalent.
Although this new board seems pretty decent, so kudos for the development that has gone into it, it will all be for nothing as far as my posting habits are concerned if there is a return to the previous board's toxicity.
Anyway, I just wanted to break the cycle of not posting. How is everyone this fine thursday? I was convinced it was friday when i woke up
