So thats where yall came from.

but yeah CE is strict as fuck and civil discussion isnt allowed. Once got 90 days for linking to a video that had people that detransitioned and people lost their shit, calling me a bigot and such for even bringing up the existence of those people, got banned under hate speech it was unreal lol.

Yeah, peak CE for me was 2006-2012. After that it's just been a slow decline. There's too many bitter people who take a video game message board on the internet way too seriously now >_>

It passes the time when I'm bored at work and I still have fun here, but not as much as back then definitely.

Well, should you leave, let me know where you land. Been fun having a friendly face around again. I think probably the reason I never left CE is because I have no real other outlet for long form discussion. And I didn't know about 261, until it was about to be closed. So I'd be interested in finding some place new.

Sounds like it was probably justified. There are basically no known cases of genuine cis people mislead to mistakenly transition when you dig into the back stories of these anti-trans folks spouting bigotry and harmful misinformation, propped up by right wing money.

Actual detransitioners are typically trans people with personal reasons like lack of support, medical, financial, etc.

I like how some folks here are trying to say people from 261 made the board worse when it's barely any different and was toxic as hell anyway. I imagine it's mostly from right leaning posters who are mad there's more people calling out the right's BS.

Don't blame you, but it sucks you're potentially leaving.

I think the most apt description of CE I have heard compared to the politics board is that it is a tabloid versus a mainstream newspaper.

Like 261 there's news, politics, and lifestyle, but there's also a lot of space devoted to titillation (and assilation for those into that).

I preferred 261, but I'm not against a little smut.

CE is okay and it makes sense that people would migrate here, but topics disappear too quickly and obviously there's a lot of non-political stuff.

If we had had a little advanced notice we could have come up with a better solution, but that was intentionally not done.

If Trump is the nominee and Biden is alive, I don't know how he can lose.

it's baffling that the gop voters are tripling down on trump when he was historically unpopular last time and now he is facing like 20 felonies or something. they would have a good chance if they just put lipstick on a different pig, running trump should give us another 4 years at least tho

he got the second most votes of any presidential candidate in history, only behind Biden. I dont know how you come to the conclusion that constitutes historically unpopular. The problem is that the exact opposite is true.

he galvanizes gop voters but he is absolutely historically unpopular, hence him polling extremely low followed by a massive blowout in popular vote.

when a president can't crack 40 approval rating ever, that is historically unpopular

Why not just migrate to another board if CE doesn't fit your needs? There's PotD, RI, the Couch, etc. Why did you guys pop a squat on CE in the first place? (and don't say because it has the word "Current Events" >_> Anyone who spent at least a few months on GFAQs should know that that is not CE's focal point lol. Like how PotD isn't about the Poll of the Day)

I too am curious why the people who instead migrated to PotD are not in this topic talking about their experience.
