#2142, so I definitely got some street cred around here. I have mostly migrated to the Off Topic forum as of late because of the election.

I've been here a pretty long time, since March of 2007. Things have settle down a bit. There are plenty of fanboys around, but things in general are calmer. The maturity level isn't much higher, but that is probably because this is a videogame website. But there are plenty of mature users on the site.
The mods have gotten a little stricter and a little looser. It just kind of depends on the particular issue.
The website itself has made phenomenal strides forward, and really is something to behold now compared to what it was when it started.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
