Has this site jumped the shark?

    haha, fair enough. My snippy comment was simply a retort to your smack talk about my "Jumping the Shark" term!

    That's good. Now "snippy" is a good old term that I can relate to!

    Oh, btw, nice one, Al Capone!

    I would interpret "jumping the shark" in relation to this site to mean, that it would start losing members because the things that get posted here are too outrageous/offensive that you start losing members. 'Free' is great if your talking about $$$$....not so great if you are talking about an abscence of rules of decorum. Let's face it...JJHuddlle wasn't that bad a site until it started shaking down its members. Sure it was overly restrictive with its rules, but at least it kept things orderly and civil. If you posted crap, it was removed. If you continued to post crap, you were removed. That's the point of having moderators isn't it? Seriously, do we need a thread comparing the length of our maleness? Do we need threads 'softball is gay' ...soccer is gay' etc.?

    Just get rid of them, and any posts that a mod thinks crosses the line. Just make a line and expect freehuddlers to adhere to it.

    I haven't been posting much lately, so the humor level and coolness level have been way down and obviously the gay level way up (since there is so many gay and penis threads according to some).

    I won't leave you guys hanging again.

    I'd love to see folks tap into their significant vocabulary and find another word other than douche. Does it really have the impact when everyone uses it every chance they get? Isn't it played out?

    Seems like this site is loaded with people that think the word douche is a stinging insult.

    I've been doing most of my posting on Pro Sports & College football, where there is actually some good commentary. You can't post anything serious on this forum, because it's a race between a handful of posters to get a "Cool Story, Bro" pic up. Then there is the predictability. Who didn't know what direction mexappeals thread about what guys would want for V-day would go?? I would start more threads if I thought I would actually get some real responses, but I know that isn't going to happen.

    I'm sure pay pay huddle has a lot more options of interesting topics.






    Not.

    Ouch.

    There are several people on here that act way too immature. The dumbest things seem to be funny here for whatever reasons.

    The serious business forum is almost worthless to visit, because it's all bullshit.

    I really wish that the moderators here would delete more topics and actually ban or delete some posts from time to time, but then again I understand that that's part of the appeal here.

    If you banned the use of that word you would basically take away sq_crazies,Devil1197 and sportsandlady's entire vocabulary.

    [size=xx-large]Seems like only a couple of posters are being blamed for this but in truth the ones who are causing this forum to stink as much as it seems to go unnoticed by most of the posters who post daily.

    My posting has slowed down because of the site trying to jump a shark or something.

    If I don't see anything good on page 1, i'll be damned if i'm gonna continue to page 2.

    When the novelty starts wearing off, people seem to start posting a lot of stupid shit myself included.

    I'm just as guilty as everyone else but members like Snot Bubbles and Sage are a cancer to message boards.

    I've never had problems with either one of them but if they'd stop their bs, it'd be a much better site.

    Sage just feels he's untouchable because if banned, he can change his ip and be back in under 3 minutes.

    He's always went far beyond the rules and hasn't given the first shit what anyone including administrators think about it.

    I think Justin would rather close the site down and move on with his life than to enforce dumb shit and be made out to be a dick like JJ.

    Just keep in mind that Justin is the one paying for and operating this site for you to post on "because people are too damn greedy to donate" and he'll eventually get tired of funding and running a daycare.

    Like I said before, i'm just as guilty as everyone else of teetering the line here at times but some of you really need to check yourself.

    Sage and snotbubbles for a lot of people are like that car wreck you know you shouldn't slow down and look at but you can't just convince yourself to not click on one of their threads.
    Its says a lot about you not the posters if you complain about them and banter with them.
    I like the banter and never have used the ignore button or complain about anyone.

    If the consensus is to be mature and proper....then fuck it....I'll do that. I'll probably post a lot less, because as I've stated before...I use this site to be immature and childish, since I have to be mature and professional all day in every other aspect of my life.

    I think calling me a "cancer" or comparing me to people who can't post anything positive is a little harsh, but I have no reason to continue to defend myself.

    Point taken.

    You remember how harsh things were over in the prison but yet you managed to stick around there one way or another and still posted a bunch.

    Shouldn't you be mature in every aspect of your life?? I guess I just don't see the point of wanting to be immature and childish.
    Also, anyone that starts threads because they want to be at the top of FFT's rankings, should really re-evaluate their lives.
