# I wonder how many people stopped posting when the 'i like this' button appeared
for a lazy person it takes all the effort out of appreciation

# I'd click the "I like this" button, but it's too much effort
(I helped save b3ta! Chumps šŸ‘€, Thu 15 Nov 2012, 10:56, archived)
# it used to be the case that even if people didn't like something
they would still spend 10 seconds saying hi or welcoming a new person.

I guess the trend for creative nonsense and puerile humour is waning.
People grew up and the young'uns are too busy playing Xboxtendos

# Nice that people click their appreciation
Has the button ever in the past been only available to donators?

# not rumours..I was told about it and came here, wasn't logged in and seen the strop myself.

and I'm too outspoken to be in a clique.

# Most forums I read are slower than they used to be, not just b3ta.
My theories are either that people prefer to share a joke or opinion on Twitter because they prefer the speed of that, or that simply forums tend to grow up with their users.

I'd imagine that the average b3tan age is probably 30-something now, an age where you tend to also lose interesting friends in the real world to marriage, babies and mortgage talk.

# I think Twitter is to blame for the lack of chit chat
I still don't see the appeal of the damn thing though

# I think people like its speed,
though I personally prefer forums precisely because they are slower and so you usually get more thought-out conversations.

# Yep true.
My other forums have slowed right down, I put it down to Twitter and Reddit.

# yup twitter for me, I'd rather post there than here.

# I don't really get twitter

# there's a lot of funny out there as well

don't use twitter for sport and my following celebrities is limited.
I just spew my caustic opinion on what's on my tv, and post pictures.
it's a bit like being on /board/talk without the wankers

# The stream of consciousness element of Twitter is still quite bewildering to me.
I don't really give a fuck what some random person is looking at/eating/thinking about doing right now.
I use it, but mostly just to keep up with bands, artists, directors and TV shows I admire/enjoy.
