What's going on in here?

[Pekka]

I read few threads. It seems to me that the same people are still going at each other. It made me feel... surreal. As if there exists this other parallel universe, a reality (apolyton), where things remain the same while things outside it continues to go forward.

It is as if these individual little battles of witty remarks, open hostilities and attacks have been going on for... years(!!!) now. What a weird thought, and what a weird reality. The signatures have changed, but their intention - to demolish the other side - is still the same. Even the actual people quoted are the same. How do you guys do it? How do you keep up this other dimension functioning so flawlessly, never getting tired? It is supposed to implode, because it is impossible. Yet, this proves to be otherwise, perhaps a paradox that once unsolved will then die.

So what else? Anyone had a baby? Got married? Got a new job, got fired? I haven't gotten into fights. I've realized that even though I encounter punks still on a daily basis, I just sort try to forget about it. On this, I fail daily.

Elok got married. I'm sure other things happen.

I noticed much the same thing after I returned from a hiatus. The more things change, the more you can count on Sloww and Che disagreeing.

It's all part of the continuing slow slide into oblivion for poly. Most posters have moved on or at least moved to other forums. I know a few posters who now only post here to troll because they think this place isn't good for much else. I have to be honest about sometimes feeling the same.

[Wezil]

The veterans have had all the usual debates several times now. The only new posters we get appear to be DL's.

Pretty simple explanation really.

[Lorizael]

I'm not sure I even enjoy banning people anymore.

[Riesstiu IV]

There are only a handful of people who post here anymore and half of those are loinburger DLs talking to each other about shemales or something.

Do you still plan of moving to the US, Pekka? How is the "Face Destroyers" death metal song coming along? Has Finland finally conquered the Swedish heathens to the West? So many unanswered questions.

[ZEE]

[Felch]

You know, if you don't like the proliferation of shemale threads you could always start up a thread about something that does interest you. Personally I think they're a very stale joke, but I'd rather have them than not have any fun threads at all.

[Riesstiu IV]

The thing is, if you do start a new thread that doesn't mention shemales, bananas, or pizzas, it will quickly turn into the main topic of discussion anyways thanks to the dozen or so clinically insane loinbuger DLs who will carry on conversations with each other. Also, it can't be a stale joke if it was never funny or entertaining in the first place.

[onodera]

Can't the mods determine whether these DLs are really DLs and ban the guilty?

[Jon Miller]

I don't think that is a very useful thing to do. Someone competitent wouldn't be easily caught.

If there si some obvious DL I will ban it, maybe.

so on a scale of 1 to 10 how bad did i whip the Loinburger DL army?

Yes, all they have to do is check the IPs, and the reason the "DLs" haven't been banned is because they're not DLs. They're just a convenient excuse for horrible posters to sit here complaining about how Apolyton is not entertaining them rather than, I dunno, making non-worthless posts or finding a more entertaining forum. "Wah, I haven't made a worthwhile post in years, but it's all the fault of this sudden influx of 'DLs' most of whom were only here for a couple of days!"

That's not true. The invasion, such that it was, is over.
