i'm not one to talk considering i joined less than a year ago, but still i wanna say a few things. first off, i do recognize the lack of long, entertaining threads, and imagining a time when there were more makes me wanna go back and read. the "1st", "threads", and bitching posts are really annoying, and overall NS has become very, very sarcastic. Sometimes its funny but other times it gets in the way of people saying what they want to say. Over the last like 3 weeks i've seen so many threads made by 3 post, 0 karma members and it really pisses me off. a good portion of the threads have been completely pointless threads, troll threads or simple questions that the search bar can answer. i don't know how to solve that problem but i think it could make ns better than it already is.
that said, i love NS, it has helped me a lot and brought many lulz as well, but new members need to learn to keep their mouth shut for the first week of membership and just read. i think that would benefit them a lot, and answer 90 percent of their questions.
