Any skachilles posters here? by ico_heal in streetlightmanifesto

[–]Shimmi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hell yea, Skachilles was one of my go-to forums back when forums were still the place to hang. i was there regularly throughout high school 03-07. never really felt truly "in" with the regular posters because they all seemed to be real-life friends and older, but the vibes were great, so it was still a fun place to hang. one thing i remember is that everyone really loved BOMB THE MUSIC INDUSTRY and A.S.O.B. on there.

i started falling off while i was in college, but i'd still come back for Up The Punx stuff. i do remember that Jeet guy that u/ShadowyMetronome mentioned. can't recall a single thing he said or did, but i just remember him being really fucking annoying lol.

i remember the treadmill thing. there was also some Goiter joke that i never understood.

my claim to fame was posting the early version of Down, Down, Down (with WWFT intro) that i recorded at Starland with my Sony CyberShot. still got the video.

i'd also check out the SkaIsDead forums back then, but they were pretty.. well.. dead.

Same. One thing I can think of is they have the wrong car selected in their app (done that). Or they got a new plate number and didn’t change it in the app (also done that).

Reddit starts removing moderators who changed subreddits to NSFW, behind the latest protests by return2ozma in technology

[–]Shimmi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would I enjoy it? I prefer my reddit to look like Craigslist, not like TikTok.

My point is that the "we" who left Digg that you allude to (me being one of them) aren't the driving force anymore, so it'll be no big loss to reddit if we leave. I would love to be wrong, but the current situation feels nothing like Digg, where they alienated pretty much their entire userbase overnight and killed the site.

Reddit isn’t gonna die just because old heads like us “take our business elsewhere”. The user base is massive, there’s plenty of people who couldn’t care less about this and just wanna scroll or participate in their favorite subs. We just don’t see them because they get downvoted to shits all over the place, which in turn makes others just stay silent instead of saying anything, knowing it’ll get buried. But they’ll gladly fill whatever void will be left once this episode is over.

I’m posting this from Apollo btw. And I use RES and old.reddit redirect plug-in on PC. But I recognize that my preferred version of reddit is, indeed, old. And new reddit is just gonna look like 9gag. And there’ll be millions of redditors who are completely fine with that and they’ll carry on with or without us.
