Wow. Yikes.

I miss the Good Old Days of BP when you could just speak your mind and move on. We've literally devolved to sending coded messages in images and DM whisper campaigns. Sad.

Same here. This site has become a literal shell of what it was, and what drove new members here. It is no longer fun, no longer vibrant, its just wokeism perpetrated by the admins and the mods lest they somehow offend one of the money contributing sponsors.

All in the name of the almighty dollar - that's the American way isn't it? But what they seem to fail to realize is that is ultimately going to work just as well as communism works. In theory, not in practice. And if they lose / ban enough members, that's going to decrease the ad revenue...but there is no coming back at that point, because nobody will want to come back.

Oh well, doubt anything will change. I miss the old days though. Oh, and goodbye Shoei if you are reading this, you've joined the legion of countless others who made this place fun but are now excommunicated.

What?? Shoei's gone? The infraction can't be that bad...what happened? Wow.

As usual, no one knows what actually happened or why the ban hammer was brought down. They just disappear. Poof.

Pretty sad. Warning given?

I heard maybe, perhaps, a motorcycle was involved.

Haha, dude. I understand where he was coming from from the very little I know of that drama but he shouldn't have gone on some tirade about some stereotype. That's a no-no.

What stereotype?

Go read his previous post, it's pretty obvious. He messed up there.

Why the Politics & Religion section has been removed.

Oh, tx.

i get why BP has to moderate the fourms for their image and we all can't have freedom of speech on a website.


just grinds my gears how grown adults cry to mommy when someone has civil discourse.

As one of the OG I can say it has certainly changed around here

I constantly fail to understand some of the animosity that develops between members, but it's not unique to BP. It certainly explains the 8/31 action because people simply can't accept a difference of OPINION and rapidly fall into personal attacks

Truly sad for society in general

I’ve noticed this in general. Now I don’t know if it’s because I just wasn’t paying attention in the before times or if people have just gotten nastier in general. However ANYWHERE that has people commenting just seems to be full of hate these days. That’s part of the reason I almost never go on FB or even Nextdoor has become a cesspool.

As for the drama on BP… apart from the occasional thread derailed by politics I can’t say I’ve noticed any of the drama… I do think I spend a lot less time on here than I use to though.
