The natural progression of SB threads

[simskiscuba]

I enjoy reading the ones that don't even answer the original question but just harshly criticize the original poster.

Absolutely!!! A variation on the French Waiter that ends every sentence with "you stupid American".

T answer the OP
This behaviour is not unique, you can find it in many high volume forums.
You can choose to read on for fun or ignore any post after the 3rd page ;-)

I like the ones where two posters know each other personaly, not just on SB, and thay start talking about inside jokes that no one else gets and has nothing to do with the origanal post.
hahaha why dont they just call eachother?

If you ever want to start a fight on SB all you have to do is bash DIR, start a thread about BP/W vs Jacket, mention something about Air 2's, or say something about split fins sucking or jet fins sucking and before you know it you have 30 pages of ranting then eventually it goes into a pub style debate then the thread gets shut down, happens everytime.

Spare Air vs Pony is good.

No that's just rude and should be reported.

People with more training in (insert whatever here) would understand this better and we all would be safer, and PADI sucks and is ruining the world.

Wouldn't it be terrible if this place became a discussion board rather than a question and concise answer board. Heck, people might be tempted to start threads with other than questions. What would we have then???

A correction I find pertinent to this discussion.

But that's what makes it fun!

When I went to Fiji, it rained every night and there was decent surge at the surface. Based on the week there, I can conclude it's like that year round, so I'm never going back. The OP is simply wrong.

..... but the crowd and overall tone has changed as it has grown.

For the better? Or for the worse?
Could you please elaborate?
