The place was dying. The in-fighting was tearing it apart. Shortly after Totse's closure even Zok conceded he was think of quitting. Zoklet was the new start but it quickly soured. The downward spiral continued and eventually lead to the now historical conclusion. You weren't even on &T or Zoklet, you've just read a few saved pages. So do yourself a favour and shut the fuck up.

Well, you know what? Some totse members say you're wrong as well, not just me.

Besides, on a site as big and as varied as totse, there's ALWAYS fighting. In fact, it would be strange if there wasn't. And even if you WERE right and there were INSANELY massive fights that tore it apart, that was the work of the members, not sites like Facebook or Twitter or whatever.

So where is the explanation as to why the site was down?

You're absolutely right actually. I should have put that in the OP. I kind of assumed though that most everyone knew. I will update it.

in terms of infighting, I believe he's referring to generally massive mod drama because jeff was never around to keep them in line. I actually don't remember much of it except MLoR fucking his dog. and Meta arguing with everyone else because he really, really liked to infract people.

also because most of them were catastrophic degenerates.

the rise of social networking sites diminished and still drives down the popularity of messageboards, especially general ones... even if there was capable leadership that everyone respected and drama was somehow erased, there's no way any of these mimics could ever grow to the size and popularity of totse because the majority of people do not use the internet that way anymore.

Well, if we're talking about forums in general, you would be absolutely right.

However... Keep in mind. People are starting to get tired of Facebook. Also, Facebook is geared toward a different goal than this site is. What with corporations tracking your every move, Facebook "games", typical friend drama, and last but not least, family drama...



Yeah, Facebook has some serious problems with it. Now obviously, for some people, Facebook is all they need, but to say that there's no market for sites like this anymore... I seriously have to disagree. Forums may definitely not be as strong as they once were but they are still definitely going and they are used for a variety of purposes.

I notice the complete absence of names accompanying that statement. Are these the same fictional users that asked for a change in the thanks system? You know, the ones who coincidentally agreed with what you wanted but whom you couldn't name when asked to do so? You're a pathological liar Arnox. Seriously, you need help.

In any case, that idiots agree with each other is a non sequitor with regards to what I've said.

Besides, on a site as big and as varied as totse, there's ALWAYS fighting. In fact, it would be strange if there wasn't. And even if you WERE right and there were INSANELY massive fights that tore it apart, that was the work of the members, not sites like Facebook or Twitter or whatever.

Actually it was the work of Zok. An admin so immune to reason that he'd even give you a run for your money.

That fact remains that Totse was failing. Zoklet was a continuation of that decline. People who claim otherwise, i.e. that Totse, and by extension Zoklet, were doing "fine", are either complete retards or undercover geniuses who've seen some brilliant truth that has passed those with regular intelligence by. So until some explanation is provided for the demise of this community, I'll keep making the same statement: this site will fail in the long run for the same reason  &T and Zoklet failed, i.e. administrative incompetence.

Autistic comparisons with Facebook, or any other site, will not change this reality.
