Well guys the good thing is one can actually ignore threads. There is no rule that one has to follow and participate in all of them. ;)
I had one look at that thread, didn't find it to my liking and never opened it again. I know, it's pure magic but you can stay away from dumb threads. ;)

Seriously though, I remember when I was younger I too had to debate everybody on the net who I didn't agree with. But once you get older you'll realize that that won't work and you just create a lot of unnecessary stress. Just stay away from such topics and let people who want to lock horns do it without you.
Makes life a lot calmer.
:D



THIS!


Also, if you think "every" thread is about a certain topic, START YOUR OWN THREADS about different topics.

It's like someone discusses about one topic and then all of a sudden another different topic is discussed that has nothing to do with the topic at hand and then you get 10 pages of nonsensical dribble.

I do, but most of them don't get any responses.

I made a Most popular ethnicities of mainstream culture topic not too long ago I wish got more responses, I thought would be a pretty unique and fun topic. Its like, we're discussing an unrealized topic of popular culture people never talk about. I also made a Come up with your own song title thread that has interesting potential. Maybe I just sucked at the title of the topics.

Personally what I find to be a problem on this thread is Philip Eno. Don't get me wrong he's a nice person, but he has all these threads where you post in an event that happened a certain amount of years ago at the current date. He posts in them almost every day and so everytime I log into the forum all I'll see is his threads at the top of every section. It gets really annoying, especially when you want to start a new topic and want people to see it.

I keep myself happy just using the game room most the time

You can "ignore" those threads if you'd like. There is an option to do so... but I think it's only accessible from the link up top that reads "Show unread posts since last visit."
http://www.inthe00s.com/index.php?action=unread

Then you'll see a list of threads that have been posted on since you last logged in. At the far right of each line is a checkbox. You can click the checkboxes that correspond to whichever threads you're not interested in, and at the bottom right corner of the webpage is a link that says "Ignore Topics." Click that, and those threads will be added to your "Ignore" list. Then you won't have to see them when you click the "View the most recent posts on the forum"

I use that feature all the time, for threads that don't interest me.

I don't know if it's just me, but I don't see any checkbox in the far right side nor any "ignore topics" button at the bottom right corner. ???

I only know a mark as read button.

Well, those threads were brought up because some here have exaggerated how transformative 2008 was. 2009 was the real change.

I'm sorry, but 2008 was the first year of the late 2000s. 2009 was closer in feel to the earliest years of the 2010s than '08 was, but '08 is when we first started to break away from the core '00s. 2008 was the year when the TV shows introduced in the mid '00s, such as Friday Night Lights, reached their peak in popularity and Obama era music artists, like Katy Perry, made their debut. Aside from that, the highest grossing movie of that year was a sequel to a 2005 film. In other words, 2008 was the start of a new era. '09 was just the middle child. 2009 was a good year, but it was much less important to history than '08 was.

that's nice      Oh I'm going to be late to the arcade

Then you can PM chucky or one of the lead mods about it.

I used to not have the feature when it was first implemented in early 2012, since I was in one of the special categories ("Website Editors"), but they fixed it so that such users could have that option.

Nice to see that people are still interacting with this site in some manner. If I'm not distracted by games, then I'm on Discord or busy with uni stuff. I wish I could go on here more, but it seems like this place is dying or whatever.

seems I'm the only person in the arcade any more

I don't have a problem with his threads, I find them very informative.

too informative for me.

I don't have a problem with them either, but sometimes they go a little overboard.

I don't see it either.

...well then, it must have to do with your settings.

From the "Ignore Topics" thread in Penguin News from January 2012:

no, it has to do with your profile settings
Modify Profile -> Look and Layout

scroll all the way to the bottom to "Show quick-moderation as:"

The three options are: don't show. checkboxes. icons. ("Don't show" is selected by default. "Checkboxes" will enable this option.)

Then hit "Change profile" when finished.

Neato! It worked. Thanks! I can't believe such a useful feature is so well hidden. ;D

I'll just keep mine the way is

You've got to be kidding me. For crying out loud, this thread has absolutely nothing to do with cultural eras or the 2000s, yet you had to make it a discussion on something we have read millions of times before. You've just proved my point, what is happening to this site.  >:(

Neato! It worked. Thanks! I can't believe such a useful feature is so well hidden. ;D

Glad I could help. O0 I had also forgotten how to activate it until I revisited that aforementioned thread from early '12. I knew Chucky explained how it worked.

I can't believe that either. It might have been useful in years before then, when there were certain threads that didn't interest me (and there are still some that don't), but I'm glad it was implemented.

Nice to see that people are still interacting with this site in some manner. If I'm not distracted by games, then I'm on Discord or busy with uni stuff. I wish I could go on here more, but it seems like this place is dying or whatever.

Well, it could be just going through a quiet phase.  :-\\ I get here when I can, but it's hard to find good topics to reply to that don't turn into debates about years and people's ages.

You could be right...although it does seem like that from time to time on here.

....which is kinda sad.

InThe00s has definitely reached an end of an era. A lot of us still post but, that feel is missing now. Haha

This site was the ish 2015-2016.

I had a similar issue.

I ignored an entire sub-board a couple of years ago.

The threads I'd like to ignore are still at least 30% of the "new threads" when I log back in.

The real problem is that I could ignore all of those threads, and there'd be a thousand new ones entitled "The New New Thread People Wanted To Ignore for 2019!"

My solution was that I only come back once or twice a month.  (I screwed up this time - the bumped threads had pushed the content threads off the 12 pages * 20 threads = about 500-threads of "Updated since your last visit", and I missed about a week of stuff.

If anyone asked for an obscure song lyric, provided a description of an old toy, or something that actually warranted some research or response on my part in early November 2017, I apologize because I'll never see it, buried beneath another 50-60 bumped threads from someone who has more posts than anyone else on this board by an order of magnitude, and yet still fails to recognize that he's "won."

(If I weren't vehemently opposed to spam, I'd write a shell script to autogenerate posts to a thread at a rate of one post per second, and in two weeks I'd have more posts on this board than he did.  And as many readers.)

InThe00s has definitely reached an end of an era. A lot of us still post but, that feel is missing now. Haha

I think you might be right. To be honest, I don't think it's even that enjoyable anymore. :(

Please be aware that I am not the only one posting in those topics, other members do as well, in fact even more than me now, please direct your complaints to them not me. Thank you.

Part of the problem is that several of the users who were active prior to, say, 2011 or so, haven't even come here much, if at all. Maybe they have other obligations in their own lives and can't be on here much like they used to. I dunno.

Perhaps you should have told that to UltraGameDog. I was only responding to his message.

my favorate so far  and like I said, there's an arcade here!

If you could have, you could have just copied, pasted and responded to his post in an intended topic. This is a topic where we want to get away from that.

Ok, I've been around and the site's been very lively as of late with the classic users and positive feel I'm getting from the site now. Haha Its reminding me of fun times.

I notice that some "classic users" were recently applauded, albeit on years-old posts. But they themselves haven't necessarily been by to make newer ones, it seems.

I think this place hasn't really died as much as it's been wounded somewhat.  :) I don't know? I've only been here for 9 years.

Seems to me that this place has its ups and downs but mainly just keeps chugging along.  There use to be much more drama, but seems that most of the drama queens have departed

^ That's a good way to put it. O0

Why does everyone have to be a 'classic user' on here for people to actually like, it's not very nice and there are many new people on this forum who contribute a lot and make these threads somewhat interesting. My experience is some of you people who have been on here for a very long time think you own the place and come across as very rude. However, it would obviously be rude of me to judge you all, it's just my observations ;).

However, it would obviously be rude of me to judge you all, it's just my observations ;).

Cause we're old? Getting older f's with me but, I'm glad I didn't miss majority of the 2000s, my favorite decade. I'm kind of amazed how much you took it to heart. Its really just a fun reference.

Honestly, I consider you and ReighMan classic users now. ReighMan feels as if he's been a member as long as me now. Both of you also brought an extension to the era and have distinctive personalities.

Ok, I think I have had enough of this forum. I came back a few months ago hoping that things would change, yet it's the same piece of s**t about Late 2000s cultural shifts, certain photos from ____ year and other rubbish. Now the forum is starting to become plagued by generation threads. Seriously, why can't all these ridiculous discussions on "Late 2008" shifts or the start/end of Gen Y be reserved for just two threads, or at the least, there should be a dedicated sub-board for those types of discussions. "Ignoring" those threads doesn't work, because they are literally posted in almost every single threads in the decades sub-boards.

Inthe00s is supposed to be a site about discussing pop culture, not ridiculous decadeology or other "cultural" shifts which people can't give a damn about. Another thing I dislike about inthe00s, is that most people don't give a crap about other countries. Yes, I know inthe00s is based in America and a fair proportion of members come from the States, but we have a lot of members who come from other countries as well. For instance, Elor is from Germany, longaotian is from New Zealand, fearsword and I are from Australia, and there are several UK-based members on this forum as well. Yet, very few people are interested in knowing what their countries are like or what the pop culture is like from those countries.

Until inthe00s improves in terms of the types of discussions, I won't be posting here anymore. I'm sorry, but I don't need to read the same piece of s**t that "Late 2008 was the start of the cultural 2010s" millions of times over.

I agree with you.

That's why over the past few months, I've reduced my time on here.

In ref to non- USA members, you guys are right.  Unfortunately we gringos are, as a rule, woefully ignorant of and not interested in most of what goes on in the rest of the world, to our own detriment 

Whatever I am, I'm interested in the arcade. Oh yeah, I'm Caucasian.

There is life outside the US??? o_O :o

I’m probably considered a “classic user” and have been on here a while.  Being a bit older, I perhaps have some unique perspectives to convey.  That said, I value newer users and enjoy hearing a young perspective.  I haven’t verbalized this before but I also love to hear the perspectives of people outside the U.S. – it really adds value to the discussions.  I hang out most on the Pop Culture boards since that’s where I have most interest (although I have the least to contribute about post-2000) and like to start new threads when I have an idea.  I’ve also recently discovered the games threads, a lot of fun.  I enjoy others’ new threads, but if something doesn’t interest me I move along and find something else that does.  I try not to complain, as I feel my perspective isn’t the only one that counts.  I hope that these comments are taken the way I mean them – that I like being here.  :)

Yup, I enjoy looking at those picture threads and seeing how things from differnt years either look dated or modern, however those cultural shift discussions are really bringing the forum down.

Thanks for agreeing with me. :)

I hope inthe00s does eventually improve in quality, because I do genuinely like this forum and I use to enjoy posting on the boards. However, at this stage, it's leaving me feel incredibly frustrated at how repetitive and unnecessary a lot of the threads are. :(  8-P

If I find threads that I don't want to participate in I'll just ignore it and move on.

same here, I just ignore them

It does seem like there is lots of decadeology these days, which is tedious, but if that's what folks want to talk about. oh well

Me too, and I can conveniently do that with the "Ignore Topics" feature. In retrospect I kinda wish that feature was around in the early days of this site, because there were a number of active thread topics that didn't interest me.

It does seem like there is lots of decadeology these days, which is tedious, but if that's what folks want to talk about. oh well

And I thought we had a restriction on it! (That is, the information on "...why it is banned - please read" stickied at the top of each Decade section.) Yet some newer users don't seem to take that restriction seriously.

What's wrong with the forum?

Its not gonna improve, man. There needs to be a rule against it and then, that could be what really make the site go empty. You just have to make the best of what you have.

Man when I first joined, it was great. Its mind blowing. I enjoyed my time as a member.

Unfortunately, you're probably right. I can't see the decadeology threads ending anytime soon. If anything, it will probably only increase and there will be more "Late 2008 was the start of ____" threads. It seems like inthe00s is slowly dying. I've noticed a massive difference in terms of the quality of posts and online activity, even compared to when I joined in August 2016.

There are rules against it, but not enforced. Plus people don't all know exactly what decadeology is and to be fair, there is kind of a grey area. That and the people making these topics are from Personality Cafe where you're expected to analyze the crap out of everything and not just discuss current and past events casually. There really should be a sub forum for these decade and generation analyzing topics to keep it from cluttering up the place, so that way people who don't want to see it don't have to and those who partake in it don't have to leave because they really do contribute to other topics as well and aren't meaning to be disruptive.

It seems to me that there is just a lot of fuzzy thinking going around, lack of logic, lack of reasoning, and lack of clarity

Is there a confessions topic?

I feel like the topic would add some spice to InThe00s. I need a break from nostalgia right now. Haha I guess I'm considering to post a paradox discussion topic. At least it'd be an attempt at variety.

I also feel like, some of the subs have confusing tags. Like, penguin is a bit of a dated term now. It needs a more classic slogan to it. Just tag it "General Discussion, Random for example.

Move it to where it isn't at the bottom of the home page where it can be instantly noticed. Make a heartbreak sub for everything dating related, childhood crushes, people your attracted to.

My New Year's  the ignore thread function a lot more. There's a lot of rehash threads or just wild speculation threads that you know are going to go nowhere and don't deserve any attention.  8-P

Scratch that. We're better off without it.

Just rename some of the subs and add new ones. A heartbreak sub would be sick. Haha

Well in that case... we'll think of something else.

There's really no way you can make a confession topic positive. It has potential by concept, that's it. Its unavoidably meant to turn deep and complex to enforce rules to.

I think a sub for anime would be good to for the heck of it. Isn't a technology sub also missing?

Yeah, some people could interpret it the wrong way and start making things seem somber. We don't really want that. :-\\

Ok, maybe a technology and anime sub isn't needed since their decade associated.

We need a fitness sub, random and heartbreak sub.

Such topics could easily be discussed in their own threads. I think we have a fitness/exercise thread somewhere in TTT.

I'm over it. The heartbreak thread might just end up my own personal thread which I'm cool with. Time to get to its updates.

There could be an eternally long relationship (s) thread, like the Longest Political Thread thread in the political section. But the relationships thread could be put in the Tenacious Tuxedo Talk section of this site.

I already created that with my "How is your date life going?" thread in Playful Penguin Place.

I forgot, must have been hungry and lacking food!  ;D

A confession board?


that could be a good idea.

We already have one with the "Weight loss/getting healthy support thread". Although it would be cool to have a separate fitness one, since I feel weird talking about weight (muscle) gain and eating more food/protein in a mostly weight loss thread ;D

I have contributed to that thread, even though I've never actually gone on dates in my life. I'd like to someday, however.

I'm 37 1/2 (as of tomorrow morning) and have never even had a steady...although I did mention on that thread that there is at least one young lady I'm interested in.

Yeah, I remember you talking about her. Oh well, best luck to the both of us in our quest for a relationship :).

Yep, it was right here http://www.inthe00s.com/index.php?topic=55521.450 in reply #453 and again in #456.

Thanks. :)

I've been on two dates and that's about it for me.

I miss user Infinity, New York Eagle, Looney Toon and JordanK. Damn.

Get your asses back on this site and update us.

Infinity still posts on SharksFan99's forum called popedia.boards.net. It's a good website.

3 of them still post here, but not as often due to some unnecessary threads or they have important things to take care of.  As for NYE, I don't think he will return. He actually made a second account some months ago, but it was deleted later on.

yeah, he deleted his account twice.

Those other three users, still have their accounts. I'm sure they have various things in their lives going on.

I've tried to get in contact with NewYorkEagle (just to hear how he has been), however he has completely ignored my messages. I don't think he will ever come back, unfortunately.

#Infinity continues to post regularly on Popedia, which is a pop-culture/media forum I created several months ago. She still does post on inthe00s though. In fact, she made a post in a thread in the '90s sub-board just yesterday. In relation to NewYorkEagle, as UltraGameDog suggested, I think he has moved on, unfortunately. Looney Toon continues to post on an semi-regular basis. I think he made a few posts only a couple days ago actually. I assume JordanK is simply too busy at the moment and has other commitments.

I seen it. I guess I may get to occasionally lurking the site.

Nah, man. Its not that their busy, InThe00s ran its course for a lot of us. They lurk this site all the time but nothing is changing as far as discussions so they don't log in and leave after a few minutes. That's why Jordan suddenly showed up when ReighMan posted his How is your date life going thread. It was fun and something new.

Those are those special types of threads that make you log in just to contribute to them and, you don't want to miss their hype.

I know you do a good job keeping decadeology from it.

Yes, decadeology is sort of rampant here of late.  So why do you guys keep doing it if you don't like it?  Why not boycott those threads and/or report them?

I never contribute to decadeology, dude. Haha It literally kills my brain cells.

I don't do decadeology either. The arcade around here is still great

Why?

Why?


I don't know.

Why?
To lead his own life?

I never contribute to it either. In fact, I thought it was strictly forbidden on here (as indicated by the "...why it is banned, please read" threads stickied at the top of each decade section).

I agree, I like to play a number of those games as well (altho I haven't done much of it as of late). It's still fun.

Thanks. Although, it hasn't been something that I've had to monitor. A lot of regulars from inthe00s regularly post on it, however they don't post decadeology-type threads, which is a good thing. :)

The decadeology threads? I generally don't read them either. Sometimes I may read one or two, but that's about it.

I steer clear of them. If one comes up (even a years-old one that somehow got revived), I add it to my "ignore" list.

True, yes read with me, but not post.

Since the first time "decadeology" appeared on this board, I have always ignored it. If people wanted to talk about crap like that, that is their business. It doesn't effect me one way or the other. I have always had issue with people spamming the boards with their crap. That had always been my complaint.

When I first agreed to take on this mod job, I told Chucky that I didn't want to be the "decadeology police." He was fine with that.

Yes, I realize that it seems to be getting out of hand-the spamming is coming back again. I really hate being the "decadeology police" because in my view, that is censorship-something that I don't like. And I don't like the fact that I am the one doing the censoring.

That being said, I think something does need to be done with the amount that is on the boards. So, I am going to start locking threads that I deemed as decadeology. I'm sure it will p!ss off a few people-just like it p!sses people off by NOT doing it. (Damned if I do and damned if I don't.)


Cat

I'm very guilty of enabling decadeology.  ;D  :-X

Bad 90sbreath, bad, bad, bad 90sbreath!  ;D  ;D  ;D

I do admit, it is kinda fun realizing that a decade's influence just doesn't go away once the clock hits midnight on January 1, 1990. And that even the eras within decades aren't perfectly laid out, solid, and has trends that overlap each other. I think it makes pop culture, decades, and eras, very interesting.

But it can get tedious, boring, and repetitive after 10 years of the same thing, "1990 is like 1988," or whatever. If you go on other forums, they talk about the things, trends, and actual specific things, in the decade, not the 'feeling,' or 'perspectives about' things of the decade.
