/vr/ - Retro Games

No you're obviously pro-gramps and I can understand that you're anti-trip. In fact I completely agree with you but the fact is that /vr/ has been teetering on the brink. I don't know exactly why it's harder for quality posters to ignore the bastards but for the entirety of 2016 I watched it happen. Not only was the ratio of terrible posts going up but the total posts were going down. That's a red flag that a board is spiraling around the drain.

I know that there are other posters just like me with authentic knowledge and experience. They used to make up a significant portion of the board and made available an extremely broad spectrum of real info - complete with that certain something that attracts a person to anonymous boards, the desire not to need to filter oneself - to talk about ecstasy and pussy right along side nerd culture the way it was for the golden 90s when nerds actually were cool and threw parties and had groupies.

When I first started coming on 4chan the vast majority of the population was nerdy kids who could benefit tremendously from a taste of that culture and a little direction on how to connect some of the social dots to go from what they had to what they wanted to have, things I puzzled out for myself over decades.

I don't trip on any other board. I'm known on some other ones but /vr/ is the only place I felt needed some consistent cisgender personality. I didn't give myself this name, some anon did a couple years ago. I like to think that adopting it is somewhat self-effacing but I guess that doesn't necessarily match my personality. I do try to be positive though, even when someone is really playing telephone-parrot with some /vr/ related info that was dubious to begin with and the fact is that I see my trip having the effect I want. It doesn't bother me that people hate on me, it's less vitriol that gets directed at the kids trying to get into the hobby in an authentic way and they're who I care about.
