STG - Attention all whiners

I'll give you my take on it.
In all seriousness, I can hardly stand this site anymore. There's hardly any thread that doesn't get completely and totally derailed whenever one of the "STG (that's really a stupid name for it, but it's what everybody recognizes)" comes into it. NOTHING will turn a thread into complete and utter garbage faster than getting any two of them into a thread. It quickly turns into nothing but inside jokes and references about what you guys did over the last few weeks. And it's only getting worse.
No, I don't think you sit around rep each other all day. But I presume that if you look at the reps of the members of this group, the percentage of reps to and from other members of it is greater than those to and from others.
Nor do I think you "gang up on others".
The only one that I have met in real life is UGLI, whom I like as a person, but his posting habits are down right annoying and sophomore-ish.

I think you are thinking of Cy.

Larry, Curly, & Moe being juggled by the SF Giants Juggalo fans.

WTF?

I don't visit the board much lately because it's become very uninteresting to me. I don't think it's the fault of any particular group of posters.

Plus, all the bitching about neg rep is tiresome.

that has happened lately.. it's safe to come back now.
 
I will say that the number of quality posters has definitely gone down in the last year.

I think that has to do with the state of the Jazz in most hardcore fans eyes. The narrative with the team has kind of been the same the past 1-2 years, so I think people are getting tired talking about it. I know I am, which is why the Ugli forum posters usually dominate the threads with our stupid humor, because it's more interesting than talking about how bad Big Al is at defense.

well, it's been a few days. I'm off to rep the next four contributors to the LTE. . . . .
 

Honestly, look at those posters you mentioned. If there was a way to go back, say 8 months, and see what their post count was versus what it is today, you'd understand the concern. It would be one thing if all of those thousands of posts meant anything, but sadly, most of them are filled with nonsensical inside jokes and pre-teen humor. Now, now, I like that humor as much as the next guy, but when it is shrouded in stupidity, it just doesn't work. PKM is exempt from this list because he actually contributes substance. Zulu gets a semi-pass because he's not stupid at all, even if his sense of humor is the rough equivalent of a salt water anal-douche. The rest of you?

Uhh.. excuse me, who were you again?
