for you glp old timers,is glp getting dumber?

YES

It feels like I have to scroll 20 threads just get one worth even reading....quality has plummeted.

care to regale me with an anecdote?

....glp has become a volume dealer apparently.......

sometimes there's an influx of trollish haters. noticed them lately. they'll soon wear their selves out and leave.

Affirmative, Admiral

well atleast the site is loading properly again. KNOCKS ON WOOD

Reading GLP is like mining for gold.
It's there, but you'll have to do some digging to find it.

i want intelligence briefings asap ,sailor!!

but , is it much different now than back in the halcyon days?

to make way for a whole new wave

I've been here forever.

It's still the same!

came here summer 2010 because of the oil spill


I find all conspiracy sites seem tranquil now


almost like a massive effort was made to jam the radar starting in 2011 and its just information overload


the herd is so stressed from doom news the net effect is apathy to the point that no news is shocking now

Shillcyon Daze is the most obvious shill here.

Way too many idiots, and annoying racist comments. Prior there was a saturation of posters with respectable intelligence, very good critical thinkers. I used to go into threads and see people bouncing off new information by the ton.

Now, good threads are few and far between the mass amount of threads about nothing. I don't give a fuck about you taking your dog to the vet, i don't give a fuck about your wife, your sex life, or what you think about black people. I don't care what you think about obama, nor do i care if you lost your job.

Now, i usually come for breaking news stories. If i become interested in a certain fringe topic, i will often use the search function in GLP, but the days of scrolling the pages to find cool information is long gone.

I know a lot of posters on this site are advanced humans, and we find each other. But the glory days of GLP are over. Too many people are here as a social scene.

The only problem I have with GLP is the seemingly arbitrary auto-ban words.

I have no idea why they ban Asscoin, for instance.

Ass = binary bit.

You just don't care about jack-shit, do ya, boy?

normalcy bias, what is to be done when doom becomes the norm?

pardon?

a bonafide opinion, thanks

Say what, now?

what?

We have been desensitized. Right you are sir.

no comment. In case i get banned.

With out a doubt, yes it is/ has.

its an economics forum now

IDK but at least they stopped with the 'I just screwed my sister;ask me a question' threads.
Lurked since '04.

say whats on your mind, ..........

why does economy sound like "he's conning me"?.....
