User blog:Aokpisze/Timeline of the MB's, 2009-Present

NOTE TO ALL, READ EVERY. SINGLE. BIT. BEFORE YOU RESPOND, I DO NOT NOT NOT WANT COMMENTS GETTING LOCKED
2009

SPAM LEVEL: Zilch. Hardy ANY spam can be found. Everyone is on topic, and no one posts for ranks.

2010

SPAM LEVEL: Mostly nil. There are a few spam topics appearing, but more "fun-spam." However, the ancestors to the modern, Poll Room and the MB Cafe have appeared, and several users are starting to become prominent as they near Legend.

2011:

SPAM LEVEL: APOKACLYSPE: The MB's started off the year spammy, and ended in total confusion. Gaa'Tha'Zha rampaging everywhere(no offense TILT ), the rise of some of the most prominent rank races ever, Eragon gaining Legend, Guac gaining Legend, the re-appearance of me( JK  ), all of these factors add in. Not to mention LU closing, PLUS the MB Camp being created AND an influx of newbies.

The Mods, planning to switch out the team anyway, crack down hard, but end up causing more confusion, as stated here:

2012:

SPAM LEVEL: END OF THE WORLD: First off, mods ''kill the Brick Boards. They were right, the original purpose of this sub-forum was no longer in place'', but this had been used to separate various topics and to easily find them. First, they moved topics between the Brick Boards and the MB Forum, causing mass confusion, SECOND, they completely killed the Brick Boards, deleting some topics in the process. Now, we have a MB Forum FLOODED with dupe topics. MB Quizzes, which was often on the front page of the Brick Boards, is somewhere, sunk deep. Never to return to the surface.

''Now, you'd think that was enough, but then the mods decide to keep true to the purpose of EVERY SINGLE SUBTOPIC. So, they start to take down the MLN Music and Bands topic, luckily, there is enought protest to stop them, for the meanwhile. ''

The mods then decide, "Lets mess up the order of the forums of the main page, so that its in ALPHABETICAL ORDER." Now, thats all well and good, but I like having my MB Forum, the most frequented forum, ON TOP. Fine, mods. Keep it that way. Moving on.

Cue entrance of SIGGY RULES. Honestly, why?

Here comes White Alligator. NOW! I actually like WA. She seems kinda like MKM, just slightly newer, and thus more stiff. I don't understand the complaints, but then again, I AM retired.

'NOW, ALL OF YOU. BEFORE YOU COMMENT, I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU A FEW THINGS.'

One. We asked for it. "When is the update coming?" "When are the new MB's gonna get here?"

They are here. The mods meant NEW ORGINIZATION. Notice, that they are merely trying to keep true to every subtopic(note, italicized for easy reference). Also, they organize the main page to alphabetical order, which is also orginization. And finally, the siggy rule. 'Nuff said.

Now, moving on,

Two. Newbies.

The MB''s are supposed to be kid-friendly. Lego's top priority is regarding children. Little children. The target audience for most Lego products(and this means the site too) is ages 6-11.(Citation: Lego Cusoo, Shaun of the Dead project). This means that Lego must ignore us older and more mature people in favor of the younger kids, and I don't blame them.

How would you feel if a bunch of annoying older kids had taken EVERY SINGLE TOPIC IDEA YOU HAD?! Those are hard to come up with! And ALSO, there's this annoying guy named 'Almaes" or something, criticizing your grammar. ITS HARD TO TYPE NICE!

Three. Face it. The Lego MB's are changing to a kid site. We're old news. Don't protest, lets make some other forum, for us "mature" people. A New MB's. A "city on a hill."

Post Brick. The Next Generation.
