I can only wonder what the boards were like a year ago so that this thread was necessary.

Or was it mostly the same as it is now, and I'm basically witless?

It's a legitimate concern, but it is more or less the same. The exception being that a a couple years ago we had threads running on with 1-4 word posts and they indeed read like an AIM transript.

Here's an example. You have to get a bit further into it to see the multiple pages of posts taking place in a half-hour period.

Here, on the other hand, is an example of a last golden age topic taking place at roughly the same time. Hilarious.

I couldn't help noticing a sig... about an almost-dead webboard.

No. This is ATT. Rule 3 has no place here.

Rule 3 belongs in Just Chat.

Does that term refer to a hole one poops out of or a hole one poops into?

One side of every argument on Just Chat is the one, the other side is the other.

If you think about it, Just Chat is actually a pretty unbiased news source. I mean, you've got someone from just about every possible corner of the political multiverse, so they all cancel each other out.

Or you could try something that actually makes sense, rather than trying to come up with a pointless non-sequiter.

Ah yes, the good old days of me changing my signature regularly. I think the progression of the Trash Talk link was "dead", then "not dead", then "once again dead", then "undead", though I probably have the order wrong. Perhaps The Journalist remembers.

Ah, those days, indeed.

Lesse...I think you had "Not so dead" and "nearly dead" as well. However, the order escapes me entirely.

Having too many biases to count does not make an unbiased source. All you get in noise, the truth is buried in ten page long arguments about how really, one member is a crazy liberal and the other is a right-wing nut job.

This is unfortunately true. While the human brain is excellent at retaining information, it's not so excellent at retaining source data for that information. When you obtain a piece of data from a biased source, you tag it as unreliable so that you can weigh it appropriately. Sadly, that tag is likely degrade before the piece of data does, leaving you with an unreliable piece of data which you no longer have a reason not to trust.

Repeat something often enough, and it'll come to be true.
