There was no yawnfag, there was no exceptional hatred of the games because only gen 5 existed, we had our own noun just like other boards (/tr/ainers, /vp/oreon) but nobody remembers that soul, we had peaceful discussions, gladly accepted any newcomers and just did what this board was made to do. Now there are spiteful mental cases who stick around just to purposefully shit up the place in spite of a group they dislike (who usually supports something they don’t regarding Pokémon) as well as the /pol/ anal leakage, then SwSh came out and we recruited /v/ to annoy us again.
It’s irreparable, and I’m only here because sometimes, once every now and then, this place is tolerable and fun, even. I like leak season mostly because fewer shit posts can gain gravity at the sonic speed of threads we get.
