Thanks @immamac.
I don't think we should walk down the school hallway with a skateboard on our shoulder trying to get the youngs. There are millions of unknown 40+ types who would enjoy this place if they ever saw it.
One thing I noticed in the switchover is that a few psychotic fucks could murder unpopular members. I liked the unpopular members even when I disagreed with them. There would be no Old Shaggy atmosphere without Rocko's yawns and paystubs, yet these psychotic fucks obliterated him here. There would have been no glorious I-just-bring-doughnuts Roy Moore Epic Thread without Tahoe, who got waylaid here by the psychotic fucks. I am talking psychotic fucks who scroll down random posts by a member they don't like, dropping negs like they're popping bubble-wrap.
The problem is the effectiveness of the neg system. The old one, where it took 2 or 3 negs to equal 1 positive, let unpopular people hang around a little, say what they wanted, riled up the others and made it fun to watch, like a greased midget fight. The 1 neg = 1 positive system is like giving a pistol to a chimp.

If you want more Thujone-ish art, I'd say don't turn to artists, find more lawyers who are going batshit crazy in their real jobs who sketch funny stuff while they are supposedly working. Maybe run some contests? Same thing for original gifs and whatnot.
