What happened to BTS?

BTS used to be cool. There used to be some good stories and funny writing. It's been a couple of years since I took a peek here. It's changed. Shame. It used to be fun.

Just a little integration. There was a thread about merging it with ATS, and the community spoke. Downside is sometimes stupid threads get onto the recent threads feed. Maybe they fixed that though.

BTS having stupid posts? Certainly not like any on ATS! ATS has such high intellectual content. Like those threads talking about someone seeing a bigfoot peeking in their bedroom window? Or how the end of the world is coming every 10 minutes? Or how every darn thing in the sky is either a flying saucer or a government black ops project? Or when someone gets the sniffles along with his coworkers or classmates that it has to be some sort of a biological attack and will be the doom of mankind. And enough about the Masons already.
BTS changed. Heck I don't even recognize any names, and don't see any of the old members who had good content.
Obviously I'm here, and reading, but man. It has changed. It's a shame. It's not as much fun anymore.

Well, obviously you aren't using your "old name" either, given your registry date, no?

BTS merger and the elimination of mutter drove a lot of the regular "chat folks" into the ATS chat club, you will likely find the conversation you miss, in there now.

I just read alot. I'm too confrontational for most. I also don't have much creativity. I'm not interested in participating in any chat. I do like to read, and I also like to point out the over obvious. I joined after Laughner shot Gifford. No real reason. I just did.
BTS has changed. Simple observation. Nothing more.
ATS has changed too. Shame really. Can't be that bad or I would go away. I still enjoy it, but it is different.

Ah. Well, I agree BTS changed and I think it's due to it being so accessible now. Before, you had to separately log in and it was buried in the depths, not everyone knew it was there. Alas, the only constant, is - well you know - change. Lol.
