Most of you might not care about this, some might even be glad that '' the worst user of b8 '' finally leaves, well so be it, if my departure can make the board better for a small few it'd be nice. Maybe there's one or two of you who actually wonder why I would leave, I assume you think it's because of the incessant flow of insults directed at me lately. Well that's not it, this situation has actually gotten better as of late so if I had to leave because of this I would have done so a while ago, in fact I would never leave because of this because I don't really see how one could be offended by insults coming from a bunch of faceless names. Maybe those of feeble minds, but feeble mine is not.
So, my reasons. Well to put it simply it's because Board 8 has gotten stale, boring and downright terrible. In fact I've been wondering for a while why the hell I kept coming back because I was well aware that there was nothing to be gained from here, no knowledge, no fun, nothing.
It is like the whole damn board has been stuck in a time-loop for the longest of time, every single week you see the same topics by the same users saying the same damn things with the same freaking answers. They say one of the definition of insanity is : ''doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results''. Well according to that definition Board 8 is the embodiment of insanity, there's no point denying it, I'm pretty sure everybody here is well aware of that fact. Unless some of you actually expect different results form those topics, if so I don't know what to say except maybe that you need to leave this place much more than me because you're a major reason this board is now so diseased. I honestly don't know how the hell I managed to deal with this so long, everything I click on my Firefox shortcut to this board I feel my brain atrophying a tad more and it would only get worse would I stay.
And then there's the fact that on this board is now a bastion of malevolence, I don't think I have ever seen a place on the freaking internet with such a high concentration of rude folks. You guys like to complain about how 4chan and Reddit are such *******es but let me say that those places now look tame compared to what Board 8 has become. In fact the ratio of people nice to one another on the Chan is so much higher than on here it's not even funny, the simple thought of it makes my stomach turn. And yes it's sad but I must also admit that the ratio of mean user on this board is the highest I have ever seen on all message and image boards I have visited since I have Internet access. Which is quite a feat to be honest, you guys should be proud of it, or maybe you shouldn't because there's no pride to get from being mean.
And lastly there's the circle-jerking, but on that I will not comment because I want this message to not be moderated in seconds, so abstinence is necessary.
So there it is, your '' worst '' user has left, you may rejoice for I don't care since I was gone as soon as this topic appeared on the front page.
Creepy... I heard Harbinger's voice say that from ME3 Extended Cut right as I read this.
Anyway, I don't really have much faith that people actually leave for good when they make these topics, not typically because I think they're lying but because I think they're lying to themselves. That said, every so often it's legit, so just in case? Yeah, seeya. In recent times I've come around to seeing, to an extent, why people often think you're kind of a d***, but I don't despise you or anything close to it. Life's far too short for that s***, anyway. Peace.

From: Ayuyu | #001 every single week you see the same topics by the same users saying the same damn things with the same freaking answers. do you only read ertyu topics?
It's a circlejerk for some part that's for sure. But not for the most part. I facepalm at the circlejerking that goes on but it by no means dominates this board.
While Ayuyu has a lot of bad opinions and awful taste in women, he's not a bad guy. His best contribution to the board was when he was going after his teacher.

actually, it kinda does. I see so many people who post comments, and get much more "i may disagree with what you have to say...." responses if the first poster was a well known and liked person.
Same goes with how projects from some users get tons of posts and comments, while other just as good ones dont.
I mean im sure if anyone responds to this i'll get a much more "**** you" type post because of me not being a well liked poster.
The circlejerk aspect of any established social environment is always prevalent. The internet, despite being more about anonymity, is still the same.

There is a lot of this but I still think there are a lot of people like myself who don't form friendships and are equally an ass to everyone.
Now I feel like I'm jerking you but really, I don't know you!
How much circlejerking you perceive is inversely proportional to how much influence you have on the community.
Take Metal_DK for instance. No one knows who he is, so he perceives this as an evidence for circlejerk rather than thinking "well maybe if I posted more stuff people cared about I'd be noticed." It's a defensive mechanism. Why blame yourself when you can blame society.
Fact is eventually the more interesting stuff you post people start to like you if you're not an idiot. Then they pay more attention to the stuff you say later and, shock, don't want to offend you as much if they don't have to?
That's not circlejerk, that's just how relationships work. I'm not saying B8 doesn't have any circlejerk going on-- that's what UotY is after all (and I do pretty well in UotY so don't call me on pot/kettle here). But for the most part it's not anymore a circlejerk than you can expect given natural human interaction.
