hey guys,I have been around and a member of this board for a really long time. I have seen it at its best and brightest and have seen it at its worst and lowest. I have made alot of friends here over the years. I don't mean internet buddies either. I literally have made some lifetime worthy friends that I have talked to now for 5-10 years on almost a daily basis. This brings me to the point of this topic. What has happened to this board? I very rarely post anymore. I do not post new scores at all anymore. I even very rarely post in response to new threads. The reason for this is the mentality of the current membership here. Why is there all this meanness and attitude now? Why do half the posters feel they have to be a total and utter dick to new members when they ask questions or make mistakes? Why do all of these people keep making smart ass remarks in threads just trying to belittle someone? It makes no sense. With how small this community is, we should be helping and celebrating each other and not lambasting, embarrassing and disrespecting one another.When someone posts a new score, especially a newer or younger member, someone always has to be a total cock knocker and make some kind of ignorant comment. If you don't like what someone posted, or don't think the look is accurate enough, the right color, the right size, the right material....whatever....then just don't reply. There is no need to be a turd waffle and hate on someone who is very proud of what they have. They have to like it...no one else. When someone posts asking for help on something, or God Forbid, ask a question that maybe has been asked before, people again post ignorant remarks trying to make the poster look stupid. Either respond with whatever information they may be asking for, or politely refer them to the thread where the question has been answered already. Like I have said before, I have been around a very long time and don't let the registration date on my profile fool you. I have been around alot longer than that....I have seen the vast majority of you ask some pretty redundant questions before. Hell, I have asked some pretty backwards questions myself. It is called being human. If you don't like it, then go back to your home planet where everyone knows everything. Finally, stop being so mean to new members. Each and every one of you were new at one point or another. Don't even give me that garbage about how new members need to think before they post. We are all guilty of having brainfarts on occasion. Just wait until you get older. The brain farts come more and more often. Over half of the older members have already bailed on this board, and at least half of the new members bail after the first month of being talked down to, belittled, and disrespected. This board will die with all of the self-righteous know-it-all assholes members. But then again....maybe that is what you want.This is Justin Mabry's board. IT always has been and always will be. This board is one of, if not the most well-known board in the mask collecting community. An hour from now, Justin could be sitting on the toilet and decide he is tired of the board and POOF...it's gone. Make the most of it while you still have it. Respect the man, the board, and ALL of the members....Like I said before, I do not want to hear any excuses as to why people are treated the way they are. We all know how I feel about excuses. If a member is causing a problem, then pm a mod. That's all there is to do. The MODS will take it from there. That is just one of the many talents the MODs have. Man up and move on....Even now after I have said this, someone is gonna post some aimless garbage defending the reasons for treating a new member or another member a certain way. Let's see who does it first.take care,Tommy
