2005: Prestigious refrigerators

2018: Best hotplate for meth?

We could make a game, like, one political poast for every five speculative observations. And you can only say shitlib or trumpmo once every fifteen poasts. I mean, self-initiated rule, of course.

Such a tendency could be countered by the thoughtful, periodic injection of new poasters into the poasterbase--a fresh batch of scholarship tps and johnsmeyers and j shads for the taking, delivered right on time, every first sunrise of autumn, lads--rest your weary bones, original zeke tp, a new zeke arises to bolster your poasting! But that's a nut that rach has just never seemed to crack (along with plenty of other internet sites)--he seems to get overwhelmed when he's tried a restrictive-subjective approach to new registration; open registration attracts a cohort that just doesn't quite fit the bill (is the genesis of xo unique and just unrepeatable in 2018--something to think about); and either method attracts the attention of the most-interested insidious megapoasters who want to collect another set of alts to play with, muddying the waters in either event.

So there we are. Note, I don't even know if I actually endorse what I've written above, but it's just a line of thinking to consider. Also, one counterpoint to my thesis here, which sort of recalls Theseus's paradox: if the poaster cohort has this natural evolution over time so that the prominent participants aren't necessarily the most desirable from the perspective of the original xo crowd, does that necessarily make the newer content "bad?" This wades into the subjectivity-objectivity of art criticism debate, right Tolstoy? Or maybe just a question about what defines XO as "well-functioning"--whose standard? If we take the people left standing on their own terms and observe that, among themselves, they're making content that they themselves find great, well, hell, maybe things are moving along just swimmingly. And maybe threads like the one OP has created are more the last gasp of a breed that just doesn't have a place here, at least not in any prominence, and we can mourn the "Golden Age" xo, get all Virgilian and angsty, while also being mature enough to recognize that things just change and that's okay

That era had alpha aspie ADA and the :D family cartoon. Nothing poasted on this bort since 2013 comes close. Honestly one of the five best poast of the past 5 years was probably the Brooklyn tranny clown car with the tacklebox full of buttplugs, etc. and that kind of poast was like a top 1% content, but an every week occurrence pre-LOLsuit and probably an every month occurrence in 08-12.

The problem w this is people don't make quality artful poasts that are self-insulating against varying viewpoints. too many days now its just a wall of blockheads impervious to counterfactuals, scrawling their Hitlerian or Ayn Randian or evangelical nonsense without a shred of self-awareness or irony.

You know, like crazy QM articles section, crazy Race Realism articles section, crazy IQ selection pressure articles section, more or less race stuff as you like it. And NO POLITICS bullshit in that secret section. …

As I said, we could have people contributing good articles and spin off discussions from those articles on as rarified a level as we can reach. the articles themselves would only be accessed if you joined... and the joining would have to have some sort of selection process as well.

You make another good point, which is the people who can megapoast for years on end are not typically going to be people who are blasting along at the highest echelons for years while poasting for years. After a while, they are going to be too busy or too … ahem … politically vulnerable to stay on boart. As a result, we get a lot of people who, well, time is one thing they've got plenty of. Time and … opinions.

I bet dozens of good posters have rolled their eyes and eventually just walked away because of this

now it's evan and other middle american poors talking about crypto and making $60k a year. pathetic.

but the best poasting, the out there stuff, the rare gold nugget that tumbles through the silt of blank bumps and shitty one liners and makes an audible clunk in the pan, creativity reduced to plain black text on a white background and manifested onto the bort as a snuggie-clad peter north clambering headfirst down an industrial shelving unit by way of the poast button. it's inspired by a brief, unholy mix of despair, cynicism, consciously undeserved self-pity, another deadline that isn't going to be met and so ratchets the doomsday clock closer to a late afternoon meeting in a conference room on a different floor with 2 partners you don't recognize

a tortured artist is a man seeking escape and achieving more than he's able in the process. an untortured artist is a happy inhousemo who once screamed into the void and now blithely thanks into the void, content to live out his days in obscurity. maybe poasting is a young man's game after all.
