Something wrong up in here

I usually skim the threads here...post occasionally. It is not the same as it was a couple of years ago....but I still am hoping.

There are some wonderful people here. It is fun to feel like I have friends here. I will never forget the tremendous support I received about 3 years ago when I lost my job (due to deliberate misinformation by someone who wanted me out of her way...and has since gotten a promotion). That was the absolute low point in my life (other than the death of people I loved). The encouragement and support was so wonderful. It felt sincere and was very meaningful. I was fortunate to receive 2 good job offers within a week, but I will never forget how everyone here helped me. It was a very difficult time made easier by my friends here. . That is part of what keeps me around. There are some really good people here.

But things have changed, not for the good. Some really great posters have left. I miss them. The general IQ and maturity level seems to have declined ( for lack a better way of saying it). I love intelligent humor....and there are some really funny people here. Problem is, IMO the crass immature stuff, seems to have taken over.

Those old, great posters........ please keep posting. Some of the newer ones....grow up just a little please.

This may be too serious a response....but it comes from my affection for the Huddle.

i agree with this. and most of it is the same unfunny joke repeated by different people because it's just what they think they're supposed to say. the first 2.5 pages of this thread is a prime example.

Ladypanther said it very well, so did rodeo.

I find the people who seem to have been in a certain former poster's supporters have that same immature humor.

Some inside jokes come from familarity, but they are funnier when used sparingly or at an appropriate moment. It isn't funny in every thread.

Also, so many lately seem to have zero Panthers credibility. I can name about 10 people's posts I will pay attention to - especially for Panthers stuff.

it's the internet in general. it's turned into just a big hamster wheel of the same sentences said over and over. nobody tries to be funny on their own anymore by saying creative things, they just repeat something they heard, and usually it's lowest common denominator humor.

there are a lot of genuinely funny people around here like meat and panthro. but for the most part when i venture outside of the tinderbox i just see the same run of the mill jokes said with different phrasing, trying to one-up how crass the last person to use the same joke was.
