I think that is the most interesting part, even the worst in Polyass were pretty well behaved in here. Usually it was some low count poster wandering into here and making posts that didn't really fit.
C’est la vieI have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

Polyass is such a toxic shithole thanks to the utter unwillingness to deal with a few morons few want to venture into it, yet there can’t be a discussion of anything mildly political anywhere else. The utter genius

How about if I quote a bunch in this thread?

Agreed. And if you flip it slightly, it's people who seemingly are so bothered by even the littlest political comment, on things that have political consequences, like our national response to the COVID-19 pandemic, vaccinations, or climate change, etc. that have made it impossible to discuss those issues in the PR with full context. People so overly sensitive to being challenged on their political beliefs that just seeing the words on their computer screens is too much for them. It's not a big number of people that post here who have that issue, but the entire forum has been tailored to deal with their butthurt. IMO it's dumb. don't like something that's said or that a poster says frequently, then don't read it.
I would love to see this place desegregated. it was nice when I'd see a thread about a TV show next to someone's fishing experience, next to the hunting thread, next to the climate change thread.Damn shame, throwing away a perfectly good white boy like that

In my view, the best times on the forum were when there was a sprinkling of ski industry heavy hitters, and lots of everyday ski town locals, and there was a lot of funny mixed with good ski stoke and gear talk/swappy kind of content.
The way I remember it, the worst deterioration came from when politics started invading everything and the whole forum was a morass of people trolling each other about politics. It became so toxic a lot of the old guard of ski industry people and regular rippers stopped posting, and the whole character of the board changed from “trying for stoke” and “trying for laughs” to just, like, argument-enthusiasts trying to upset each other.
That was why the asshattery subforum was created, to not just ban everyone who wanted to talk shit about politics, but to be able to put it away from the other, better parts of the forum.
The thinking now was that, again, we were approaching a mode where so many people were so butthurt about the political bickering that almost no matter what topic you posted it would devolve into a food fight about politics, and we’re trying to stop the forum from just being a big shitwad of sadist trolls getting off on trying to piss each other off, because that’s the bad energy that seriously, irreparably eroded the quality of this thing back in 2007/2008 when the first really serious Rob Story article wave of trolling began.
On one hand, yeah... don’t feed the trolls, on the other hand, that shit is getting moved to the asshattery area where it belongs because this place isn’t at its best when it’s saturated with ongoing trolling and ax-grinding.

Yeah, I have kind of wondered if that same basic arc happened to the entire internet.
I dunno, is it just irreparably broken then? What’s the right thing to do? Do we just walk away? Do we steer harder and risk overcorrection?
This stuff isn’t easy.

Meh.
The glory days here was before it got popular from the googles.
Hard core skiers that flamed armchair skiers. Shamed them away. Didn’t need mods. Self moderation.
Today? Different. But still nuggets of fun here and there. And the occasional racist drunk rant by bunny.
