The GAG community feels less and less like a community and just "a bunch of GAGers", and here's why (Page 3)

I was cynical when I started reading this, but it turned out to be an excellent myTake. I liked your points, particularly the 2nd and the 3rd ones.
Glad to hear it exceeded your initial expectations! :D To be honest, I felt like I was going somewhere with the 4th point, but that one didn't get phrased too well. Maybe I didn't get to the core of the feed's new problems. But this is how I feel about what's been going on.
too many questions like, I'm shy what should I do if I like him/her.
Gender segregation still does quite a bit of damage to social scenarios, I wonder when people will eventually get past that.
it is good that people decided to focus moreon their real life
Well that's a way to look at it, but it's not the only reason behind why so many have left in so little time.
They are not our friends or family unless we have already seem them in personal life otherwise I dont see why need to bother.
Tbis site is getting worst so am not surprised
I joined few days before one of the major changes, I couldn't enjoy much of the previous version as many of you, I was really shocked when the platform changed. Sometimes when we try to help and make things better we only worsen them.
Kheserthorpe and CommieDearest are gone?
* goes to the corner and cries *
That's how I felt about it too. >.>
I didn't care about anyone leaving until just noticing buttwholesandwich left. Ah she was nice. Oh well. at least I met her. ❤
Now idc xD
I'm reading this take in 2018. WoW. And G@G is getting worse day by day plus 50% of opinion owners on this tread left gag already
I got bored at some point myself, I'm not even sure why I'm here now.
I do not remember what I'm looking for, here, either. Maybe there's a bit of a lack of substance? Everything is always the same? I don't really know. Haven't been here in a year or so.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I really don't give a shit who comes and go to be honest.
I agree with your solution. It will make things easier, which is great.
Sagari left gag as well.
I never grew to like her tho
Honestly, I'm not even sure who she is, which is kinda odd.
Too much political correctness is what's killing GaG, I believe. Also the Xper hunters, but mostly the excessive censorship.
I haven't noticed the censorship. Is the level of censorship really that bad these days? I only remove obviously site breaking stuff!
@Prof_Don I think they just take insults seriously and remove it as antagonism. If you waltz around it a bit and don't just say "all of them are evil" or whatever, it won't be "offensive" either. There's a way to meet the guidelines.
when was the last time you graced one of my odd questions with your presence, sir?
Fate made us not cross each other's paths :P
i agree level 1 newbies will never reach 2xp, it takes like a week to get there
Looks exactly the same to me.
... There were good old days?
Back when we still called Brits, saxons! :P
No, it really isn't the same. Pretty much all opinions are one-liners, and people don't really get comments from others, ever.
I totally agree. It's pretty boring here now.
There used to be interesting discussions all the time here! Now the site isn't as mentally stimulating. :-/
Why do you say this? Just because all these people left? What about everybody else that is still here wanting help and here to help? Are you saying that the only way this sight functions is with all if the people who left? All you ever heard were there names anyway. If I left, nothing would even be said. It's just the way it is and both of you just proved it.
No. @Kiwifun the content has become redundant and derivative.
@9mfeo at least teach me how to do good sex before you leave!
And that's exactly what I mean by redundant and derivative content. @kiwifun @hypno-trip
@9mfeo lol lady can't you take a joke? This site is to ask embarassing questions anyway!
So in other words this is a dying site with unoriginal artists.
@Prof_Don that is exactly what I mean.
I click to expand every single opinion anyway, so the fadeout is basically useless.
If you're on desktop, you can use a custom javascript to remove the fade like here www.girlsaskguys.com/.../q1526942-do-you-hate-the-fading-effect-of-4-line-opinions-so-much-that-you-d
Oh, great, thanks for this! I'll go check it out.
u forgot about Lauramarx bro
She had me blocked ever since she was Level 4, so to be honest her departure doesn't really sway me, lol.
But yeah. I actually grabbed that list from www.girlsaskguys.com/.../q1524912-we-lost-anateinak this question, otherwise I would have forgotten a lot more :P
Same here. I got all up in some ignorant teenager's ass, and LauraMarx got all butthurt after reading what I told her, and she ended up blocking me too. She can kick rocks. :-P
@Prof_Don @Mesonfielde both her and @your_boss960 were notorious for blockin people... strangely, they never have blocked me :|
I was friend with her for a long time until she blocked me without explaining exactly why
@hypno-trip wid @lauramarx?
Yea we were friends up until then
Heck, I used to think I was special 'cause @LauraMarx and @your_boss960 blocked me for no known reason. Now I see I am just one insignificant cog in the gear system.
@Prof_Don @Mesonfielde @hypno-trip
People grow up!
12 of them at once, with most GURUs like @RedThread saying he's been debating leaving too? That's just not "growing up" :P
Presuming that they all left for the same reason... It's a natural trend; no one noticed when it wasn't high profile people but I know at least three of those people left for "professional" / "life change" reasons.
I guess the changes were the last straw, and they were debating leaving in the first place, then. Okay.
Or they just no longer have time for the distraction, silly. You're far too keen on this; relax, people do come and go in droves all the time, but as I said you just don't notice them coming and going.
True. It's just weird after so long.
It may feel that way... The one thing about this place is that it is not actually a "hangout"; it became one and people come here frequently but it really is a question and answer website and isn't well built for creating lasting friendships. Longevity here is usually a sign of boredom and stagnation in life so when a person leaves it's really something to celebrate? That's how I see it. They grew up! They moved on!
OH THE PLACES THEY WILL GO!
You're right. I guess we should celebrate :D
Wondrous! Too bad they'd delete the thread. :p
I never realized this was such an issue.
that's a good take! i agree
Please don't leave us, Ms. Zombie! ;-)
@Prof_Don ; lol no worries
Mist sensei's rants will be missed. ;-;
