Duckbear leaving was actually quite impactful.

Not in a qualitative sense. We were averaging around 14 pages (20 topics per) back while he was still here, so we only lost about 30 topics a week. And most of those probably were Duckbear's.

For those of us who already had him on ignore, almost nothing has changed.

Duckbear kept us humble. We used to strive to be better.

"Better" and "Duckbear" really don't belong in the same sentence. Or paragraph.

Or metatextual concept.

Now we spread hate towards those we dislike and pat ourselves on the back over it.

To be fair, we were doing that long before Duckbear left. And while he wasn't even here. And for most of the time PotD's existed at all.

If anything, the real problem might be that we don't have anyone left to really hate. It was always the villains and fools of the past that could draw the hate of most of the board that really brought us together. Now no one really agrees on any one person worth hating, and if anyone does really loathe someone, they just throw them on ignore/block anyway. So we never really come together over hating and bashing specific people.

All most of us have left at this point is apathetic distaste for a few people at best. And a bunch of us are mostly posting out of inertia more than any real passion at this point.

We're like season 30 of The Simpsons. People still watch, but no one is really sure why.
