BBC 606 to Not 606 to here. Didn't spend a lot of time on Not 606 mind. Totally different vibe to here.

iirc correctly not606 started ok, then was an early prototype of what lots of the internet would become. Edgelords trying to take over and spew bile, moderation couldn't keep up. Became toxic?
Sharing articles no-one reads since 2012

Sounds about right. I don't remember the exact trigger for the exodus, was there some tension between the individual team boards and the overall site moderation, or were people sick of whoever was running the nufc not606 section?Colback's Orange Tufts wrote: ↑Tue Jan 23, 2024 11:13 amiirc correctly not606 started ok, then was an early prototype of what lots of the internet would become.

12 years on here is crazy. I was incredibly active in the early years, then life changed and I barely got on here. Now I've got a degree and a real job and visit pretty regularly again

Absolutely a diversion from work for me
I'm the scumbag outlaw. You're the pillar of justice. Neither of us like looking at ourselves in the mirror. Do we have a deal?

Wasn't there an insane amount of porn everywhere on that forum so it was too risky to even have it opened in a browser at work or in your phone on the train.
And there were way too many keyboard Warrior t*** Princesses.

Yeah, it was okay at first but then got hijacked by twats who'd post all kind of weird s*** so definitely wasn't safe to be on the site at work.overseasTOON wrote: ↑Thu Jan 25, 2024 1:55 pmWasn't there an insane amount of porn everywhere on that forum so it was too risky to even have it opened in a browser at work or in your phone on the train.
