Of course it was gay, but at least it was fun.
Yes, but at least it was about literature and not thinly veiled American politics and schizo "religious" threads.
And /x/turds.
Pretty much. But the people here used to not only read but also write and had a sense of humor which gave the board a quality which is lacking these days.
>thinly veiled American politics
Better than the burger/bong war we had going on a few years ago, but not by much.

I don't know what you are talking about. This place is filled with /misc/tards.
Obsessed
It is just bad, people who were supposed to join this are somewhere else. And the ones who kept this shit going just left to do something else.
The morons who remained are mainly vomiting the same old shit over and over.
your mom left to do something else
There are the bots of those morons wasting money doing research.
your mom is wasting money doing research.
>Undergrad STEMgays don't understand history of science or philosophy - have only read Popper's wiki page and don't really understands any critiques sent against them. They are the people who are likely to enjoy the work of Hitchens, Dawkins, Harris and Dennet.
Back then you may have seen these kinds of posts and absorbed some of the content, you didn't see them through the deranged lens you see everything through now. If you notice the exact same kind of posts now you dismiss them as "tradlarpers" or whatever.
The frick happened?
The board got much better when it came to philosophy, religion, and history. Most /misc/gays don't have the attention span to read Hegel or Schmitt, so they stay out of reactionary threads. I feel bad for you literature Black folk, since anybody can summarize a plot and pretend to have an opinion these days. Unfortunately the culture war is in full swing, biopolitics is on the table, and it will not stop until there's a winner and a loser.
holy based
except for
>so they stay out of reactionary threads
seems like you had a brainfart there
That two weeks after the new captchas showed up and the morons could not figure it out was pretty great, board quality increased immediately. I probably posted more in those 2 weeks than I had in the past two years. Most of the /misc/ and bait and larpers were just gone. Hard to not take that as fairly solid proof that those sorts are mental midgets.
it was probably just that phoneposters couldn't make threads
