What's going on over there?

A lot of BS that started when the Capitol riot broke out last week.
A poll was posted to see if a former member, who got the banhammer last year and then started his own forum (not Ken), should be allowed back. The consensus, for now, is no.
A now-former member flounced yesterday, with all of the attendant drama and finger-pointing.
So, in other words, not much.

Thanks - they have an upheaval once or twice a year. I can see most of the post in the PH but nothing in the hot spot. I thought maybe something started cooking in the HS and boiled over in the PH

I think Scott joined the other forum too. Not exclusively but in addition to the blueboard.

I am blissfully unaware of all you are talking about. I like this place, its small, and y'all seem like good folks to talk beer with

Nope, there's was equal opportunity upheaval in both places, so you didn't miss much of anything.
If you saw the PH, you got a good, albeit toned-down, read on what's been going on in the HS.

I like this place, its small, and y'all seem like good folks to talk beer with We were on another board with a beer forum but it also had a "public house" and also another subforum for even more nuttiness. I was one of the moderators there and it seemed like the other mods could not care less. Long story short, I saw some things I did not care for and no one wanted to do anything about it. Even though I mostly stuck to the beer forum, I really did not want to be associated with some of the stuff going on over there so I suspended my account.  Then Poptop (also from there) suggested I start this place. 'Twas a great idea. It's laid back here because anyone wanting to act like that over here would really stand out. Over there they just blended in. |

The Blueboard has become the Brownboard.

The Blueboard has become the Brownboard. This is the only place I post (or even visit) but I still have very fond memories of the Greenboard. Even the PH over there was tame in comparison to the Blueboard. |

It been 9-10 months since I posted in the Hot Spot. (no flounce) I do not miss it. I still lurk. The first few posts can be interesting, somebody brings up something to think about. It does not take very long for it to turn into a verbal slap fight of "You are an a-hole/stupid/idiot/ because you do not agree with me."
Took awhile, but it got old.

It does not take very long for it to turn into a verbal slap fight of "You are an a-hole/stupid/idiot/ because you do not agree with me." Took awhile, but it got old. That's part of it. The other part is the "I act differently online than I do in real life" by some people there. I won't mention anyone by name and there are more than one but how about if a person innocently mentions doing something, repairing something, cooking something, buying something, etc. and for no apparent reason, some know-it-all has to come in and crap all over their thread? There are/were some self-righteous idiots over there who just could not keep their posting under control because they felt the need to criticize everything and everyone. You might see that some people do some of that but are reasonable again later while others just have to jab at others at all times. If I had met someone like that IRL, it would be pretty shocking because no one does that to your face. But online... that's different. I try to be the same person online as I am IRL as much as possible. |

I hate the disparity between how some folks act in real life and on social media like that. Its like basic manners and decorum go out the window

The Blueboard has become the Brownboard. It was the Louboard while I was still active. |
