Honestly, some people think these are good ideas? This site is becoming too serious.
Taking away the join dates was not a good idea in my opinion and neither are any of the ones JJ mentioned.
I think taking away earning perks (avatar and custom title) was a bad idea. Personally, I looked forward to moving up. People in general want something to strive for. What is there to strive for now? Member's Playground... Tilted Trampoline was hilarious and something that was a novelty and made the site more interesting as I progressed. I don't see anything interesting or motivating to keep people here. I think that may be a factor in the slow down of this community. New blood brings new ideas. It's not happening nearly as much as it did in the past. I think it's because the loss of incentives, edge, and this place is way too fucking serious.
Taking away things because of fear of elitism is ridiculous. There have been people here longer than others and that will always be the case. People typically reminisce the most when times are bad. Think about it, when do people start posting reminiscent posts?... Losing the join date isn't going to prevent that.
The fact that these suggestions are being debated makes me sad. I don't know what happened to TFP, but it has evolved into something I don't recognize anymore.
