And the soapbox is once again overrun by children. The level of debate is "neener neener, did too, did not...booger head!" And of course there are those who just want to satisfy some ego by having a forum. I check in every so often, but don't post much anymore. Too bad. Where are all the old timers? Can we invite Stel and Phlicker and a few others? They can keep a secret and still post quality stuff.
This new 5 minutes quota is too long a time to wait to make and/or reply to a post. But I understand why they are doing this. Too many trolls have been 'flooding' the boards lately, and not only on the main boards. When trolls are posting more then 100 posts more in a span of 1 hour it's very annoying and slowing the boards down, which they were already.
The Sandbox has been taken over by 12-13 years old and the Soapbox by whining/bitching posters.
And I agree that too many posters are starting other boards, only to come back on IMDb claiming that their boards are the best and whining and bitching about other posters.
This place is and always has been open to good posters if you want to invite them I have no objection, the more the merrier. Just tell me their names and when they register so that I can add them to this board.
