and yet we have plenty of people who admit to not using the thread anymore. or people who were spoonfed but it's ok because theyve become regulars and are hip with the gamer word.

not to mention, remember like, a month or two ago, when every night was 3+ instances of fancycat theater with everyone watching anime or movies constantly

I remember. Because I didn't really have an interest in doing that every night. so i made some other friends elsewhere, or got closer with other friend circles.

I dont tell friends to join off of me, and actively tend to warn them that they join off of me at their own risk. most don't. Sometimes one does. it's not a big deal as long as they are not disruptive.

like this guy says. Nobody ever used to give a fuck about randos, unless instances were too full, too laggy, or they were being asses and generally not fitting in at all. 
Like, i can understand being wary of strangers in a community that has a permaban evader, people who may or may not have crashers, and drop "nigger" more often than they take shots, but shit, if you;re scared of it that bad, then either own it and dont give a fuck, or be a pussy and dont drop any n bombs and hide in a private world with 100% gatekeeping power. But you can't expect people to just not have friends outside of /vrg/
