NO. That was one change. one example, that I noticed as a seller and buyer and just one example of an all-encompassing change. I never said I was upset about it nor knocking anyone for doing what they do. I just want to understand why NT as a whole think its ok to let dudes run rampant on here trolling all over this board and other venues and the first thing they type is "#NT" NT used to be respected, now its just young dudes being idiots all over the web. As a whole we should want more for the site, not downgrading it every chance we get.Originally Posted by StillIn729
so let me get this straight? you are upset people aren't giving you the hook up on sneakers for cost?
you want the old Niketalk when Niketalk is a major reason you aren't getting people to hook you up at cost

General has pretty much become the place where we who have dropped out of the sneaker hobby reside. This section of the forum is a place where your points will have fallen on deaf ears unfortunately.
Its the internet son, trolls come with the territory, u learn to live with it and/or ignore themOriginally Posted by ATMOSquare

Philanthropically NT is to be respected. But as a body of members: pranksters and imbeciles. Makes me think twice about using the hashtag.
all you dopes retweeting "this general tho" this is a general topic posted in the forum for general discussion. Not a topic you want to comment on, just ignore it just like you would any conversation you're not interested in.

Interesting little slight there. To infer that for one, I came into posting this as to claim "og" status back then, now, or ever. I have never considered myself OG nor campaigned to be treated differently than anyone else on this board. I actively participated in posts in 2001- early 2002 under the name ATMOSquare, the same one I am posting under now. from the days of oldmanwearing nikes, and when I called out YTV for selling me fakes I have contributed to this board with information, the culture and overall merited interaction with other members. In 2003 I bought my first car, prior to that I remember being clowned for my hand me down hoopty in the general forum circa 01-02. I remember these things as it was yesterday. I kept screenshots somewhere on disc. For you to infer this date of membership was a fantasy... I don't live my life in search of the shout-out, and have always chosen to be behind the scenes.So I will not just sit here and let you slight me for something that is not me, nor what I am about. This post was not a plea for camaraderie, but just asking for confirmation to something I had noticed, and I thought others had to. In general I post here because I enjoyed participating and interacting with others. I found it hard to believe that others would let the standard just slip away.Originally Posted by Method Man
It's interesting, because back in 2003 or so a few of the self-proclaimed "OG" users at that time were begging me to set up a hidden forum just for them, so they wouldn't have to suffer the riff raff. Of course, that would've included you.
You had a good experience on NikeTalk because many of the veteran users decided to include you and help you out - not because they looked down their noses at you as a "newbie" who was "ruining the site," though a few of them certainly felt that way at the time. The truth of the matter is that our forums have always served teens and twenty-somethings, and you've outgrown a lot of the things you might've found amusing in 2003. Whether you personally appreciate the majority of posts or not, there is still a very strong sense of community here - and one need look no further than the way our users have rallied together in support of both individual users going through difficult times or in response to events like the earthquakes in Haiti and Japan or the famine in Somalia. That's something you probably don't see on the average message board and it's a testament to the individuals who make up this community.
Rather than just bash the immaturity of our younger users, I think you'd be better served if you attempted to model the change you wish to see on our forums. If you help other people out and do for them what the veteran users in 2003 did for you, that's going to have a far more positive impact on the community than simply complaining.
Better to light a candle than curse the darkness.
