This forum used to be much more exciting before people started being crybabies, thats what seperated NJFBOA from others, in such a good way, which is really why I dont post much anymore, because that feeling is gone. Unless Im missing something, I never really noticed a "warzone" here. Foul language... i use it alot. The basic "curse" words are found in PG-13 movies, and in order to register to the site, you HAVE to be at least 13 years of age... I dunno, it seems like the rules around here seem a little too tight. I feel like I log into a Christian forum instead of an Fbody forum. Take my "postcount" for instance... when I had my injury back in August 06... i hit the 4200 mark... 6 months have gone and I only posted a little over 250 since then (classified post count being removed too included, which is indeed bull too...) , and Im sitting on my ass all day!! |

It had the feeling that... it was an added bonus that you owned an Fbody rather than this being a place of just strict Fbody-talks, reguardless of the New Jersey FBODY name, if anybody understands that. The environment was laid back, and not so uptight and prude, which made it an awesome experience to log on everyday. I dont get that vibe anymore, which is why I dont post much. Wasnt NJFBOA formed as a rebellion to www.njfbody.com because of the way things were ran on that site??? 
Now I get the vibe of, "Out with the old, in with the new" (member-speaking) REGUARDLESS of how the members who been here since practically day one were in fact the ones passing around flyers on other peoples cars just to help it grow.... and another example, I spent well over 6 hours making little icons for the forum out of good heart to give a better appearance for the site, yet us supporters since day one are getting no say in this "prude" enforment act whatsoever... instead, lets open the doors to kids who barely (if that) have their license to come on here, yap about something stupid they did, expect not to get flamed, and in return... GET flamed, and cry about it. They bring it on themselves. As it stands Ill still be lurking... |
noah has alot of good points here, i had alot of stuff typed up but somehow the board screwed up and it got erased. i pretty much agree with everything he says here.
on the other hand, i see where tim and justin are going with the new rules. i had a convo with tim about the new rules and expressed my dislike for them and took into account what he was saying. stuff needs to be paid for, and for us to get more income things need to be cleaned up. myself i liked the club when it was smaller, but hell s*** changes, be it for better or worse, you cant avoid it. i dont like the whole no cursing thing and dont like the idea that we cant post anything that is NWS. ill abide by the rules, even though i dont like them.
one other thing i forgot to add: i like the idea of the basement, from what i hear its supposed to be like the lounge of yesteryears, the thing is idk if the older members that liked the way the club was before all this happened would be willing to pay x amount of $ just to post and joke the way they used to.
