OffTopic Patriotism
What is this? What is this sudden surge of patriotism for OffTopic?
These forums haven't been this toxin-free since... since...
You know, I don't think I was around the last time, haha

11 RepliesI believe people are starting to put aside some differences as we are all aware of the upcoming invasion of new users that will soon overwhelm us. With all those new users, it will disrupt our little cultural equilibrium we've got going on and things will change once again. Imagine it like this. For the past three years everyone in Offtopic has been kept inside a single room, talking with each other, getting to know each other's quirks, and identifying the people who stand out. Over time people would trickle out of the room, some others would wander in, but after three years, there's noticeably less people in the room than when they first started. The conversations are dying down and we all kind of know how things will go. However we all get news that in a few days, a massive rush of new individuals are going to enter the room with us, chattering about all of their ideas, questioning things about the room that we've already known for years, and trying to make themselves stand out from the massive crowd of anons. We may feel a bit threatened by the change and all the unknown factors that come with it, but in the end it's all a part of being a community. We'll band together and face the change head on, and though we'll probably lose a few compatriots along the way, some of the new users will fit right in to our old ways. I know many are going to attack the newbies with memes and a bit of vitriol, but I hope most of us will at least try to integrate them into our little internet home. The best we can do is to try and teach them about or little culture so they can become a part of it and make it grow into something cool rather than spamming the with hate and making them more likely to spam us with things we don't like or want in the forum. Guess we'll see how it all goes.

The flood was friendlier. But it was a gentler age. The economy wasn't a train wreck, the cold war was over with no existential threats in sight, Trump was brown nosing the Clintons, Bush was a bit daft but relatively harmless, the alt right were just plain old [url=http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url] and white supremacists and anti fa were just a bunch of delusional communists living in their own little fantasy land.

If you want to unite a people, find something they hate more than each other and focus their hate.
