Increase in stupidity?

[ojsinnerz.]

I blame fascination with animals for the problem

Are you actually trying to contribute to the conversation or just failing at being funny.

No seriously, I'm not trying to be mean :\

Oh jeez.

He was referring to furries, or furfags.


Furries are the worst of the worst.

wow

 

[BobTheJoeBob]

I don't know why you guys are surprised that there's so many stupid people on this forum.

Hey, not everyone who joined in 2010 are idiots * Looks at join date * wait, scrap that I agree

No, seriously I totally agree with you guys, when I joined there were a lot of idiots but it was manageable, now though, especially these past few weeks people have just let loose and shown there inner stupidity, as you say it may be caused by the change at a certain warez site, maybe we can sit it out and see if it all blows over, like with the release of a big game ( HG/SS era anyone ? ). Hopefully Gbatemp will get back to its usual self within the next couple of days/weeks

and for the stupid people out there, the 2010 point was a joke

I joined in 2010. I'm not stupid and I'm definitely not a furry, so your logic is flawed.

No, we were complaining about the staggering increase of stupidity since last year.


I remember in 2007, when all the members had some sort of intelligence. There were so many great members back then. Now, it's full of people who think cod invented FPS, and people who believe cod4 made scopes on snipers mainstream.

Even until last year, everything wasn't at this level. There will always be idiots on forums. It's not like I want a perfect forum, because it's obviously impossible. Now, this place is crowded with overwhelming number of idiots and 10 year olds

Good one. we're just gonna have to live with it. We also need to start getting people to type in proper English. Commas and full stops were made for a reason and ur is not a word.

 

[Overlord Nadrian]

wut? Since when are one word posts in Blogs removed? It's not like they do any harm.

Well one word posts are kind of pointless.

 

[ojsinnerz.]

Well then, everything is fine now.

That's because it's becoming way too easy for users to pirate. Pretty much anyone can drag and drop a file onto a microSD card, they do it all the time with their stolen music from Limewire.

When they run into a simple problem, they come here.

In the yesteryears, when the R4 and all that good stuff was still popular, not many knew about it (R4 practically mainstreamed it though). It's just another thing to blame the R4 on.

If everyone that voted in the IQ topic wasn't lying, we apparently have a community full of geniuses here! Now, they only need to prove that, because I don't believe we have THAT MANY people with an IQ over 140.
Genii.

Not necessarily. If there's a simple question that can be answered with one word then you shouldn't have to waste words on it.

maybe close registration when a big game is about to come out? it seems like 90% of the time its someone saying "mario galaxy 2 wont load help pllzzz" or "where do i get new pokeemonzz"

closing registration right before until a few weeks after would solve alot of this

edit: another idea would be 10 day waiting period for joining so they would say screw this and post somewhere else

Hi there

 

[Rayder]

The biggest increase of stupidity started when NSider forums closed down. It's been getting steadily worse ever since.

Hey hypocrite, you joined for Spirit Tracks. Are you an idiot? Are you one of the ones increasing stupidity?
"spirit tracks wont save help plzzzzz" http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=213273

Most of our members come from big game releases, most of them leave and some of them stay, and every so often we get a good member.
Closing registration is a horrible answer to what isn't really a problem.
