Just curious.. do we have mods anymore?
I come and go, not very often, but have noticed that the lounge is either a problem someone is having with some girl in his class, or a post about wrestling figures/a wrestler/wrestling.
Are all of those sub-boards dead, or has the lounge just turned into a complete free-for-all?
Sorry if this isn't the best place to ask, but shoot. It's not like the other postings are on topic with the forum...
Just curious what is and isn't allowed here nowadays. So many posts about figures, collections, wrestling rings, wrestling scans, the Undertaker, Macho Man.... girls, manning up.... and then the stuff I'd care to chime in on is locked. What gives?

And nobody answers in the help forum, so I'm not asking in there for someone to bump it down with "how do i put 25 sigs in my signature help plz" postings.

The Lounge is pretty dead these days unlike the glory days. Mostly because everyone is so ing serious now you can't talk about any subject without it getting locked because of people fighting constantly. So basically the Lounge just sucks now and nobody gives a crap.

I was thinking about that the other day when I was on here. Not enough to reply with anything but it does really annoy me when people post about wrestling/wrestling figure stuff in the lounge. I know the description of this section is "talk about anything" but the concept is to talk about anything that doesn't already have an existing section. I'm not losing sleep over it but I'll never understand why this is a hard concept to grasp for some people. And I do realize it's really not a big deal but again it's just one of those things that I don't get why people can't just follow. In terms of drop in activity, with how big social media is, it's amazing forum communities are still a thing. In comparison to platforms we have to discuss things on now, I figured message boards would be too slow paced for anybody to take interest in anymore.
As for content that gets posted, I agree with you on having trouble finding conversations I can get into. I've had enough threads about past members, girl advice and "am I too old to still watch/collect/play with wrestling figures?" for a lifetime. But nobody is making me read any of those threads so it is what it is I guess.

Yeah, I guess this is why I stopped coming on here unless it's to post a picture of something stupid or make a mockery of myself. Oh well.
I wub you TRDub and Valbowski, I still have that stupid warning bar because of our Big Bossman/Pepper postings. Why? because what TRW said is true. Panties in bunches.
25% up yer arse.... I see a lot of pricks on here and know I'm not one of 'em. Someone get rid of my damn warning. At least do that much for me. I'll be back in 3 months. bye.

I'd post a picture of my Hasbro Hulk Hogan doing a line with my Hasbro Big Bossman while Faroouq helps, but that might banish me for life.

Pretty much as soon as we were no longer allowed to talk about politics. Soon as all the political threads went, everybody left the Lounge. Then all the noobies came and decided to post in the Lounge because they dont bother looking for the proper place on the board.

Why are people on a toy site talking politics, anyway? can't you guys talk about non-related WWE stuff (or girl problems 101 for the tween crowd) that AREN'T hot-button issues and more (or less) going to be triggers to the know-it-all generation we live in? Politics and this board is like asking for a dumpster fire. I wouldn't talk politics with most people here based on how quick they are to tell ya to off if you don't see it their way. Seriously. It's a toy site. Maybe there's a comfy medium? Go check out my taxi post! I'm bringing "cool" and not too serious back to the Lounge. Only words not allowed: Trump, Hilary, Trans (unless followed by "fat" or used in my screen name, because I'm the champ mofos) and all that nonsense. Who wants to join the revolution of nonsense postings that have nothing to do with royal rumbles on the subway? I'm just blowing air. I won't post for 3 or 4 more wks if even and forget I made this. But really. Even without politics, this place was cool once upon a time. WTf happened so fast...

wrestling used to be popular. it is not any more. as such, the activity has diminished every year for any board that isn't directly figure related.
the lounge is like a desert wasteland of yesteryear's threads, with noobies rolling through like tumbleweeds.

In my opinion, the forum is a bit over moderated. I think it's ok to have extremely heated discussions with a bit of name calling. There are ways to keep the political discussion going without jumping the gun and closing it. I try to take a hands off approach on my board and it's pretty active still.

I hardly even check the lounge. Like others have said it's because everything turns into a pissing match and a you know what measuring contest. Every topic somehow goes left and ends up locked because people turn to keyboard warriors. It' sucks but that's how it is now

The Mods/Admins have been very heavy on the locking up stuff. Some is warranted some isn't

I got a 25% warning after a mod misread my post yet after pointing that out and the mod apologising, I got to keep that warning.

So basically the Lounge just sucks now and nobody gives a crap. Kinda. But people have been fighting and taking everything seriously here for years going all the way back. We just let it slide some before you boss types stepped in.
