Does anyone remember TALK BACK?...

Recommended Posts

TALK BACK, what is that you say? For those who were around back then, think about what became of that forum and what happened to it. From the look of things in Bonfire lately, it would appear we are about to come back full circle. Think about that one a bit before you create a thread or hit the post button in Bonfire next time. Those who know what I am talking about, explain it to the people who have no clue. Now, Discuss.

Well since I'm not being the big PW I was back then, I guess I'm missing all the fun.

Can some one catch me up?

TalkBack was the original name for this forum (Bonfire).

It degenerated into a pool of repetitious and mindless drivel, in which reasonable non-skydiving content - condolences, good news, etc. disappeared off the front page in a couple of hours.

Sound familiar?

History lesson - check out the second and third paragraphs.

We already put the tweaks in SC



That was conversations about politics, relgion, and guns - they got their own forum. It was done to make room for more relaxed non-skydiving conversations, as explained in this thread.

An important part of that thread as it applies to this conversation:

Quote

"Open" at Dropzone.com does not mean that the loudest, most obnoxious, most profane individuals are given the chance to steal the floor by sheer audacity. "Open" has never meant that individuals have a license to abuse the platform and the audience that these forums offer them. "Open" has never meant that blatant racism and sexism should be tolerated. "Open" has never meant that individuals are free to beat topics into the ground and thrive on provoking others. "Shock value" is not something that we value, and it has absolutely nothing to do with true openness. (With respect to the team over at ArsTechnica.)
