Just A Thought

I'm just going to explain something because everyone seems to be complaining about Frontpage posts having less than a thousand thumbs. It could just be the fact that a lot of traffic was lost to school starting. I'm pretty sure it's mostly people from 12-18 that visited this site so now they're swamped down on school and homework. We just have to wait for people to start procrastinating again.

Ok I hoped I don't get red thumb raped for this but let me give some of the reasons that I think most of the frontpage is below 1,000 thumbs: 1. Like Draco said most people have school now and that is what I hope. 2. Admin (Well I hope it was him) Decided to delete the site soon because of spammers and him not being able to keep it going without ads. 3. Because of all the new rules and Admin being sort of a dick to everyone most people left to other sites. 4. Someone might have worked their way into the system and are banning and taking away thumbs from good hard working OPs/reposters. (Last one) 5. This one is personal. I am getting bored with the site itself it needs something to spice it up (NOT MORE ITEMS!) maybe a better layout and screen change. But no matter what I love all your faces and hope I can someday meet at least one amazing FJer.

I want the old layout, browsing front page is fine, but try to browse **** , open the tabs and suddenly a ******* video

Yeah nothings been good lately. I know I don't contribute much but I think I'm going to leave as well. Admin is taking **** too seriously and the rules are ludicrous. With many of the major posters gone I'm seeing the same things (yeah there was always reposts but now it seems like more than ever). I dunno, to me it seems like admin is just ******* himself over.

Admin is thinking of taking down the sight?! Sure, it isn't nearly as great as it used to be, this sight has gone through worse.

I've been lurking this sight since nearly 2005 (didn't really care to make an account until lately). It'd be too bad if he took the sight down.

Plus you have to be level 2 to thumb and a fair number of people were thumb banned.

#7 to #1 - spceinvdr ONLINE (09/01/2013) [-]

why were so many people thumb banned?

#9 to #7 - thesovereigngrave (09/01/2013) [-]

Thumbing up "porn," participating in thumb orgies, etc.

I think i thumbed porn once. I didnt do the thumb orgy though. I was the guy who thumbed everyone down in there. I maxed my ip for thumbing. Why does admin all of the sudden give a **** ?

I'll be damned if I know. It's a wee bit irritating though.

I can understand why people are leaving, and I considered it myself. However, I have too much invested in comments and rankings. Im level 133 or something, and i really just started. I feel I could do well here. However, I cant thumb anything. And its not like you can file for an appeal like on 4chan. whats the goddamn point?

#14 to #13 - thesovereigngrave (09/01/2013) [-]

The point is that there is no point. It's all just pointless.

Yeah, but i liked having input on things. It felt good. I dont have a permanent IP, my router is the kind that borrows one from a pool. I could probably make a new account and work it back up to get un-thumb banned, but idk. What do you think?
