An bunch of über elitist designers who run an online design community and think that their shit doesn't stink. Can also be referred to as the QBN Reich.
Man, thos designer over at XYZ designers are bunch of fuckin QBN's.

@honestly got it in the post two above this. "it's like asking fans what inspires an actor..."
this place is a negligible place for information. Fun more than anything -- with the common interest of general creative work shared across it's users. It's just a water cooler. You can expect most will just throw you off path for the fun of it because this is where they come to take a mental siesta. More often than not, newstoday or qbn is off topic, and QBN's best bits (newstoday's hay day) are in archival past and still easily searchable. And still, if you did a little digging you could have maybe come up with something that would have inspired more than just reposts of old threads.
Some less inspiring moments that newstoday vets would remember were purely drama, weird, interactive community drama. None of which has any educational.The founders of newstoday and their histories aren't hard to find, either.

- I know it's more fun than anything. That's one of the reasons I like it.Glitterati_Duane

Apparently QBN can never fall into the "research gathering" phase of any project. You can only use Google for your inquiries and nothing else. Using an actual design forum populated with real designers who give instant responses and feedback is forbidden! If you ask us a question here, it would be like us doing your project FOR you! Ahhhhhhh! How dare you burden us with such work! Helping others hurts so much. Oh the pain...
Next time I feel like painting, I'm going to make my own paint from scratch. Because If I go to the store and buy it, it would be like them doing my painting for me, and that wouldn't be right... or some shit like that.

I learned from day 1 to use the filter to find shit but sometimes it just doesn't work the way I want it to so I start a thread to get to an answer faster. Even though mother fuckers like to pop shit most of the time. (which I find hilarious by the way), This place is loaded with people more talented and smarter than I, so I still like to test the waters with a question every now and then. It is a forum isn't it?

You got "filter" to work at any point? hehe
Whatever happened to peoples mama's telling them "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all". The internet age has killed all the kindness! :'( I'm a sad panda!

A while back I stumbled across a pretty good interview with Jason Kristofer and Folkert Gorter who were the original creators of the site. They talked about how they came up with the concept for Newstoday and the original ideas behind it.
