I still can't wrap my head around the fact that people take pride in a post count. Shit, I have only about 3500 posts since the board opened in '02 and I think I spend WAYYY too much time here, but others have 3-4x the amount I do, and think it's a badge of honor or something.
I'm not going to go on about whatever problems TSM has and may have, since I can always go to either SKNT or WDI for a respite. The biggest problem I see, though, is that people won't fucking IGNORE some people (you know who they are), so they would either go away, or step over the line and get banned.
If you don't like how TSM is run, either PM Dames or a mod or something and tell them WHY you don't like it, or just FUCKING LEAVE!!! Some posters didn't like how Keith and Co. ran TheSmarks board, so they made WDI, others didn't like how WDI was run (or just wanted an alternative), so they made SKNT. There are about 500,000 message boards out there, so I'm pretty sure you can find one that you like pretty easily. Sitting around and bitching doesn't help things.
