So long, GiantBomb. (Blog post) (7/22-10/5)

Well, I think my time here is done. I have been a semi-active member for a year or so now, but I think it is time to move on.
Before I go, I would like to post some observations about the forums I've made thus far:
- Dicks- yes, you know who you are. I think these threads have been bombarded with dicks, and it ain't pretty. Now I don't mean trolls, mind you, but specifically users who go out of their way to insult other members and overall rub off their dickery onto everyone around them (lol what?). I am not going to name anyone, but you know who you are.
- Pointless Threads- there are many of them. (I'm sure someone is going to say something witty like "This thread is a prime example of #2, Jolly" or something along those lines, and, yeah, it probably does, but it's my last blog, so the hell with it.)
- Offensive comments about the founding fathers- those being Jeff, Ryan, Vinny & Brad. These people bring you lulz day after day, and some of you have the nerve to insult them? Brad even mentioned being called a "vegetarian asshole" on one of the podcasts. Not cool people, not cool.
Those are the big three hitters. I have also seen some mods abuse their "powers" every now and then, but for the most part they have done a good job. (One thing I suggest, is to give a real REASON when locking a thread, not just state a witty remark and be done with it).
I don't expect for anyone to really pay much attention to this but I thought I might as well give my two cents on the place I visited and (used to) like for more than a year now. Honestly, the forums aren't what they used to be, and a lot of people seem very agitated for no reason. The site, however, is still kickass, and I applaud the GB crew for getting as far as they have. You guys rock, fuck the haters.
So long fellas, try and be nice to one another.
