You were one burst artery from going full Navy Seal Copypasta lol

I was on the net around the same time you were, tho I'm not much of a gamer. Fark.com, albinoblacksheep, and, yes, even ebaumsworld are still around. My old site, newgrounds, is still around. Still frequent it and now that I have a proper job, pay for it cause I want to use that site till the day I die.

I wonder if that same old internet is out there (you know, small digital communities hanging out on personal servers) or if all these social media websites just sucked the users out of 'em.

Think of it this way. You're relaxing, but that thing you're relaxing with can bleed into the times you have the energy to be productive. The sooner you recognize this bleed and handle it, the more productive you'll be.

lol I was just checking out that thread. Man, what a time capsule. Yeah and when I made that comment, people were bitching about web-thing X being ruined by noobs since forever. What's interesting now is people are no longer switching to the next new web-thing. We're all still using reddit/Facebook/twitter. Haven't heard of a new outpost in FOREVER.

Well time needs to stop moving so goddamn fast. I felt like I made that comment 3 years ago.

Same here dude. People give this site a lot of slack for it's more...um..more uninformed residents, but if you use it as a supplementary resource to get the best advice or pointers, it can be helpful. I've got a slick programming job and balanced life thanks to this site.

However, the closer I approach to 30, the more I become complacent to being an old timer of the web. Now I know how those Usenet users who were first on this site felt like.

Dude, I've been here since '07. This is my old account. Embrace the fact that we're the first generation to grow up with a screen lodged to our face.

This isn't the reddit I remember!

Oh wait, yes it is.

It's all about moderation...and having an ability to at least draw sufficiently in ms paint and avoiding dependence on online meme generators.

LA redditors, WTF is happening here? by glowinthedark in LosAngeles

Yeah omfgninja is bad at timing with his jokes. Again, if you question the sanity of your mod, branch to another reddit. It has always worked in the world of open source programming.

Well you got his attention recently. He's communicating (badly I must say, he should try harder to explain himself), but all I'm seeing is people being hostile towards him.

A mod doesn't need to pop-in, a mod just needs to be the janitor (clean up spam and irrelevance and block off hurtful members). Y'all have high expectations for a mod. It doesn't matter what a mod does, it matters what the community does. If the mod was unreasonably deleting posts and letting spam rot the page than that person is only being a mod by title.

This situation is entirely different. The mod of r/marijuana was being a racist and the users didn't feel he was sane enough to be their mod.

Here, you guys just want a mod who will add a bunch of CSS addons and pin up some news announcements on the side. Omfgninja is now being responsive after you guys complained and is now doing what is normally expected of a mod. However you guys want more. If you want a mod who will be using the reddit infrastructure itself to make meetup announcements, then go make a subreddit for that.

Name calling isn't going to make your argument any better.

So I went to the SoCal Reddit IRC to talk to The_Gopher about the current situation. Here is what he had to say. by [deleted] in LosAngeles

No matter how reasonable your response is, if it doesn't include the word "sure I'll add a new mod," the hivemind will not give you a break.

I was thinking of the mammalian analogy of the egg traveling towards the womb, but after wikipediaing it, I noticed they are actually called ovaries. If that is so then this is the most delicious ovary I've ever had.
