Back in the old days...

[Lumpy]

Sure, the Codex used to have personalities. But most of them were the smart posters, the ones the average Codexer could look up to. Most of them had modest post counts, and seldom created threads - but when they posted, it was usually worth reading.
And then, there were the trolls - Bryce, Volourn, Roqua, and so forth. Still, they didn't usually post threads - instead, they posted dumb or crazy opinions in various threads. Still, they didn't make every effort to stand out; they were quasi-normal posters.
And sure, there was KayCee, but his spam was fairly amusing, meta, and he never overdid it.

Nowadays, every 'Codex personality' is some shitty spammer, sporting wacky convictions ("I'm a stereotypical Muslim, guys!", "I hate faggots so much!"). And unlike Volourn or KC, these guys contribute fucking nothing. They're making the Codex a fucking BORING place. You know every fucking thread is going to contain some shitty post through which they try to stand out - it's not funny anymore.

On the flip side, back in the old days, you had to use

I hope I am a bad boy.

 

[Some Moron On Welfare]

So true. Totally agree with you, my bro. I say we just ban Andhaira and Jim Profit and be done with it.

 

[DriacKin]

Blobert is the worst of the bunch, imo.

I ignore your request to spite you.

Judging from the "unwanted" tags, it seems as if the Gods of Lankhmar have issued out from their mouldy temple again; 'bout time.

I'm a nigger and I make Arcanum mods and I'm a total badass you know?

Go fuck yourself. The smart posters didn't take shits on people's threads, because they posted stuff that was actually worthwhile.

 

[Vibalist]

Funny how CF started off saying he disagrees with the OP, and then goes on to say that there are only a handful of posters on this forum he likes. It's essentially the same complaint.

It's only really funny/decline when clueless airheads pop into the discussion to spout their drivel *coughnomaskcough*.

 

[BLOBERT]

BRO I COULD BE ALL DRUNK AND SHIT BUT CRF MAY BE POIUNTING OUT THE IRONING THGAT MOST PEOPLE CONSIDERED SERIOUS POSTERS ARE THE BIGEEST DOOSHBAG TROLLS OF ALL AND AT LEAST THE SO CALLED SPAMMERS ARE HONEST ABOUT IT AND ARE TRYING TO HAVE A LITTLE FUN BUNCH OF FUCKING BRIAN SURGEONS AROUND HERE

 

[DefJam101]

He's right actually, though whether KC is a serious poster is debatable.

 

[raving nincompoop]

You're complaining about nothing.

Yes, that was exactly his point.
