Planet Freedom

Even though the old forum has gone to hell, there are still some good memories from the days before the "War on AIDS" and "Perfect Poop." Maybe it can even be salvaged.

You can all discuss what you think is going to happen to YCP, if it can be saved, and where the future will take this community.

Conrad will stop paying for it, I get banned here, etc.

Nothing big is going to happen. The people that are leaving permanently are like what, no more than five people, most of which will return. Conrad will eventually figure out a way to fix it and the forum will be running in some suitable state until August, where it will probably continue onwards.

DIDN'T I BAN YOU JUST A MINUTE AGO?

HI DOPSTER

Eventually Robotnik will join, forcing everybody else to leave.

Opinion A: Conrad sees his mistakes, reactivates HTML and quotes, everyone goes back for another day. - Least likely but could happen.

Opinion B: Only the mods, the newer members and the maturer people (LaughingFurry, Full Metal Kiwi, GreatBritishTurd) will stay causing a different culture but not poop as we know it. - Possibly (and likely knowing CS' goals)

Opinion C: Crash and burn, the main site will go down before August. Site closed due to "lack of interest", poop will slowly go downhill but not by us. Youtube will ban each and everyone due to copyright claims and only have webcams only. Two years from now it became an old Internet meme like ORLY? or any of 4Chan's. - Worst case senario.

Ironically same thing is happening between Pixeltendo and The Spriters Resource so I know what is going to happen.

I was just banned from YCP.

It was a good run. I really am happy for all the time I was able to log in there with many of you and others. Unfortunately, I took a chance posting a link to this forum there, and Conrad burned me.

If anyone is still on that site is still around, I would be grateful if you could tell everyone that it was a blast, and I hope to see them around soon.

The state of YCP is sad. I have no intention of staying until things are better.

Conrad's gone from productive leader to mad bungler.

Everything that has happened in the past few days were shocking. I was only there for two months, but I felt like I assimilated into the community very well. I had fun, and I met great people, and I thought it would stay that way. I wish it did.

I posted this on the thread about TINS being banned:
"Hello, guys.

My name is RabbitSnore. I never made an introduction thread, so I figure after several months of being here. I'd better introduce myself.

I'm a pooper, and I'm best friends with thereisnospork303. I've known him since third grade. We became fast friends in fourth grade, and many, many years later, he introduced me to poop. I laughed my ass off at it. He's the reason I'm here.

I remember before I even considered becoming a pooper, TINS used to tell me about how funny and wonderful the Poop Forum was, how it was full of laughs. He told me about MrDrunkenFox, this awesome guy; about how Stegblob was, when he posted lines of Odies; he told me about Tentor, and how silly he was. After a while, I got into this pooping thing, and I loved it. It was so much fun, so I decided to join the forum.

Since then, TINS and I introduced Tennis Reviews, which were really his idea, which I just ran with. He is, without doubt, the reason I worked so hard to write and make this place as cool as I could in my time here. As a direct result of my love of writing here, I interviewed three poopers for the site: MrDrunkenFox, Deepercutt, and BMATF.

People have said that I'd be a great moderator here. True enough, I was the guy who Fox told that he'd give mod powers to if he could so that I could watch over the forum late at night when people were going nuts. I was the guy who helped nab a bunch of rowdy fellows who cleverly disguised their work. You might say that I was as close to being a moderator as a featured pooper could get.

I was displeased with this site in the past, and I helped to set up The Pachinko Machine, our first attempt at an alternate forum for when things got too mean or too nonsensical in terms of policy. Somehow after that, Conrad also counted on me to mind the news page while he was too busy with his new job. I was happy to take the job, and I really thought that I could help pull this place up from the horrid dredges it had sunk to. That was a naive wish. I know that.

As a result of this place, I have come to meet some extraordinary people. Before this place, the internet was not a source of happiness of any kind for me. Here, I met new friends, whom I will likely never meet in flesh; I consider them friends nevertheless. I learned a lot here, about myself, about art, about a lot of things. And many of the people I have come to know here are the sort that I never want to forget. They are a rare breed: people I like.

Now, I don't understand what this place is or what it stands for. All I know is that I'm tired of being hurt by what goes on here, and I'm tired of trying so hard to do my part to hold it together.

I'm a writer. Thanks to this place, I'm now a video artist too. I appreciate that addition to my identity that this place has provided. I thank Conrad for the opportunity for me to work hard with art that I truly enjoy. I curse Conrad for banning my friend. I thank the many people on here for being part of a great group, even the idiots on this site I don't really like. You all made it worth it.

That's my story.

Have you ever heard a rabbit snore?"

I just announced that I'm leaving.
Now I'm kinda sad.

Dude, I'm sad too.

I can't be bothered with any of it anymore. It just seems like a chore having to put up with all this drama shite that occurs within the community all the bloody time. I can't even be bothered finishing a rant about it, I'm just going to get away from it for a while.

I don't have an attachment like you guys do, so I guess it's easier for me to just leave YCP. I'm only out for the fun and slight serious productiveness. Drama's not my thing.
