This honestly is what partly drove me away from here this past year. No it didn't annoy me to the point of leaving. Sure it is annoying to an extent though. I used to come here for actual discussions regarding serious topics, gaming, or just interesting banter. Every time I check the forums out these days, I don't have any hope for that. I just see a huge circle of kids rubbing each other's egos. It's the same people constantly claiming to be the leader of something, or writing things about other users who make them feel cool. And they flood the forums with these posts constantly, they don't even differ greatly from each other. I'd frequent this place every day, multiple times a day, for the past few years. I know that I've not changed as a person. Nor have I grown bored of this place before it became this way. It's a different atmosphere here, not one I feel entertained or attracted by.
