I was just thinking of how cool ignboards used to be without all the stupid new mods, and then i was just reminded of roman history.

See, its like when rome first started out, it was a new republic, controlled by the people. The slowly but surely greedy politicians came up, and began to be power hungry.

Its like the ignboards, where is was a cool little community, where mods were cool with everything, but then they turned power hungry and crap.

I wonder if the same thing will happen to bluegoop.......or maybe im studying history too much? lol

LoL- No offense to Bluegoop, But I don't think it will turn out to be such a big huge thing... it will most likely stay relatively small, without hundreds of n00bs like there are on IGN.

dont worry nothing bad will happen to bluegoop.

basically all the mods here hate the mods at ign and the way they are

lol yea, but people could still turn power hungry......in which case i will become the justice mod!!! =P

Anyway most of this post was supposed to be a comparison between history and IGN......bluegoop was sorta an afterthought.....yannoe for sh*ts and giggles=P

Ok, yes it was nice a long time ago, but it's not going to change anything by just complaining about it.

If you really want something done, speak up, and don't quit.

But seriously, if you just don't like the place anymore, then leave.

Are you kidding?

You made a whole topic talking about how bad the mods at the IGN boards are and how they used to be better

wasn't IGN always corporate owned from the start though?

Yeah- IGN started pretty much the same way as it is now... All of the mods are like 25 year old people or something (I mean like, they are all adults and stuff, and tho I have nothing wrong with it, it is probably a contributing factor as to why the mods are "corrupt")

I still like IGN, and I like this place too, so its all good ;)
