eddieScissors is gone. This was literally docpoz’s 29th account.
- Oh damn. Are our moms safe?Gnash
- Dude has clearly a mental illness. Hopefully he’ll find help. Or not, and he’ll livestream his suicide on side-notes.maquito
- Like “noose ready and waiting”.. and that shit.maquito
- I’m so pissed with cock suckers like this schizo faggot trolling everyone and making fun of those who really respect this forummaquito

- not sure if serious thoeddiescissorsdead
- happy mom's day, docNBQ00
- Can we all just learn to ignore that tedious prick? So fed up of Mountain Dew-fuelled stoner bores seeking attention.Nairn
- Starting to see some patterns. Perhaps mod u can clarify I am a person with my own opinions. I thinks obvious. But u know troll behavior betterdeathboy
- I'm sure it would make people feel more warm and fuzzy that thinking it's a homogenous community of single thought and I'm a troll outsiderdeathboy
- But best to remind aging adults people have difference of opinions and as an adult u learn to live with itdeathboy
- your viewpoints are hateful, ignorant and a disgrace to the human race. You can't really expect people to tolerate your specific brand of shitposting quietlymonospaced
- So if you can't be banned, just remember that nobody here wants you here. You're not welcome. You stink like shit.monospaced
- You're free to be an asshole, and we're free to consider you the worst human to grace our presence. So kindly, go fuck yourself to death. Seriously. To death.monospaced
- and who is the asshole?deathboy
- perhaps you should grow up.deathboy
- I admit I can be an asshole. But that isn't the issue here. You aren't welcome.monospaced

- Also - may I bluntly ask how many mods are active here these days? If there's only one, might you ask some other members to help out?Nairn
- "staff rotation" is natural and needed. Did someone rage quit in an internet argument? Fuck em. Replace them with someone newdrgs

Is that a kink thing?Nairn - Nah, that's just where they store them. In a shoebox under the bed.Continuity

Hi!
For those who remember, I'm back.
I've been lurking basically since I've quit and even requested to register before registrations were open again.
Then I thought fuck it, it's enough just to follow the interesting threads but in the end I've also been following all the chaos here.
So before someone fucks it again with the registrations I decided to come back.
Besides, scarabin was here the other day and that was certainly one hell of a reason to come back.
Shame that some people also quit in the meantime but I totally understand.
The only thing that really changed in my life was the birth of my daughter.
It's been a beautiful challenge and I'm very happy and despite the lack of time to sleep and to keep doing what I love most because I'm in full parental leave while my partner is committed to her job and Phd..but I will certainly find a way to do my stuff.
So lets enjoy this!
- welcome back!Krassy
- "let's enjoy this"- Hells yeah!cherub
- wheeee!garbage
- Good to have you back.
Congrats on the birth of the wee one.PhanLo - woop woop!!oey_oey

- Congrats and welcome back, if I remember correctly you were living in the German equivalent of chaz at one point no?_niko

i’ve been visiting this website since the early days of newstoday, almost two decades ago now... contributing here and there, but mostly just checking in periodically from afar. it’s sad to see that QBN seems to have evolved into this insular community where overzealous self-appointed gatekeepers greet every new person with distrust and derision.
- that's your introduction?sted
- yes, i also enjoy long walks on the beach.. maybe we can get to know each other better over dinner before you decide if i can post more or should get banned?vetements
- First you need to pay your dues:
• Comment in/on COTD
• Post a dad joke
• Diss at least one of the QBN deplorablesdeadsperm - That’s not how new users are treated. Just the new ones who shitpost immediately and troll like bigoted cunts. They are treated wi th distrust.monospaced
- hey, hi, hey.
may i ask who you were in a previous incarnation?Nairn - +1000
I think it's an age thing. Old fags who are set in their ways and mean to newcomersdrgs - Myself included, but I fight against itdrgs
- That's a very noble fight of yourpango
- so you're saying we're a bunch of old cunts? pretty accurate my friend.renderedred
- what's your view on 5g?renderedred
- Overclocked 4gdrgs
- lol @ stededdieScissors
- I am the same. I've been here a long time but am somewhat quiet on account of being a girl. These days QBN is depressing. I miss NewsTodayFawnDog
- fawn just pick NT on the menueddieScissors
- "How can you fit so much anger into such a tiny little box" is how NT was described to me before joining in 2008 and it still holds true now. Lol @ QBNcherub
- "Tiny little box"cherub

Too many racists.
Too many trolls.
Almost no design content.
QBN is dead.
- There are a couple. The rest of the content is the rest of us posting every negative thing that happens in the world and moaning about it.Fax_Benson
- every Trump indiscretion, every failure of capitlasim, every redneck at a rally, random's facebook meltdowns, the dregs of twitterFax_Benson
- the answer's always the same - post more stuff that's good to look at or interesting to read / discuss.Fax_Benson
- Do we not have a generic 'nice design thing i found today' thread? where do i post this?
https://www.instagra…Nairn - I actually wanted to post this earlier:
https://www.instagra…
but then got distracted.Nairn - When in doubt just post it in Pic (pick) of the Day, one of our most popular threads.deadsperm
- There's probably a Lettering thread but just post it on PotD and make everyone's life better.deadsperm
- This site is what we make it, but we have no power to remove the racistsnb
- We have always been fine with a little racism sprinkled here and there. Only now it's trending. Things should calm down in a month or so.deadsperm
- You mean, after the holocaust?Nairn
- LOLdeadsperm
- And this is why we can't have nice things.deadsperm
- There are definitely some people on this site with...I dunno...rage issues?
Best just to ignore them :)yuekit - I don't ignore racismnb
- And the whining continues. Where do you see blatant racism. Can you link to posts so we can have a look?NBQ00
- Be the change u want nb. U seem to care about other shitdeathboy
- This is supposed to be a design forum. Do we really need a PotD - Design? Design should be the default.
#rantdeadsperm - i dunno... i go to a few other sites for daily design news at this point, but I come here every day to catch up and see how you folks are doing :)exador1
- i may only post a few times a week, but i generally come here atleast once a day to check in... after 20+ years of being here...exador1
- It's gotten to be a funny enough place with some real characters etc... plus some of us have known each other a LONG time at this point...exador1
- plus, every once in a while there's some super quality stuff posted in the Useful thread... that stuff is pure gold.exador1

Trolls ruining any conversation.
QBN is shit now
- Just.
Ignore.
Them.
Don't.
Engage.Nairn - America!kingsteven
- Easy to avoid talking to them.nb
- But these walls of text pasted in, all the ignorant shitmemes... not to mention the brazen racismnb
- It's def gone downhill recently, but it has cure my addiction of 20 years though, I spend half the amount of time I used to on here, so swings and roundabouts.fadein11
- Disagree
QBN 2020 > QBN 2019drgs - @nb - aye, because there's a bunch of people who keep feeding deathboy (who I assume you're refetting to - strange, that) responses.Nairn
- If everyone ignored him he'd either have to calm down or go full-on docpoz and end up getting banned for attention-seeking behaviour.Nairn
- I think shadow-banning would be a useful tool on QBN, with a flag on people's profiles to switch it off if they want.Nairn
- ..which would be less imposed and authoritarian and more usefully granular for users and mods able to check ignore stats.Nairn
- Like "Huh, 46 users have ignored Nairn - time to ban the cunt".
Ok, that could get abused.Nairn - wtf? there's a note missing there - before "..which would be less imposed" should have been 'or better yet - add an ignore function for users to set'Nairn
- Haha. Ever wonder nairn if it's I who feeds you. Be a boring circle jerk if u all try to make be up each other copy pasta ing the same shit. Diversity is a gooddeathboy
- What will u talk about when I'm gone? Feel a lil bit like slimshady right now standing updeathboy
