The maturity dynamic of the BGOL community

In light of recent posts and threads, it seems that the maturity differential between BGOL and SOL continues to expand. In my view SOL, though created primarily for the female audience, has invariably attracted the more mature male members of the greater BGOL community, whereas the main board continues to produce and nurture knuckleheads. What are your thoughts on this? I'm looking for opinions from all points of view.

Discuss, but please keep it civil.
 
Naturally. Girls have always been more mature than boys even since we were in school.
We don't generally engage in the ego based posturing that many men do. That seems to be a large part of the problem on the main board.
 
I tend to agree with you Ari. Unfortunately there is really no way to weed out the negatives. Life is like that sometimes yes. Even online




peace
 
The realty is most BGOL members refuse to engage in any civilized conversation.

This is probably true of their real lives as well.

Children, plain and simple.

Good post, brother.
 
I find myself only willing to go into the sports threads on BGOL(and a few pic posts), the thread topics and the mature discussions seem to take place on this side.

I agree with that. Sports, pics, music downloads, and some of the movies. I know that the mantra of BGOL is post pics and talk shit, but what happens when the shit talking become abusive and detrimental?
 
It's just children trying to get in grown folks conversation. If I wanted to talk to kids, I have four at home. Sometimes I like to have serious conversation to expand the mind and see what others think.

Thanks Femm
 
Yeah I rarely ever go onto the main forum anymore. I believe the numbers also play a factor into why the main board is the way it is. Here we have about 25 active posters as oppose to over a thousand on the main board. So if there are 20 people with valid mature opinions they tend to get lost in the flood of immaturity and foolishness.

I believe that people as a collective are idiots and you get a group of idiots together and they say idiotic shit. The good thing is that idiots tend to shy away from intelligence so as long as the idiots don't organize and come over here as a collective then they will stay away.
 
I think your summary is on point. The mainboard is lacking in maturity as shown in recent threads on some very serious subjects.

It wasn't always this way but over the last couple of years many of the cast that used to make BGOL "the board" moved on. This new group of characters lack the maturity to pour water out of a pail and it shows in their comments. :smh:

Those are my feeling as well. The main board is funny, has some great movies + music, and ofcourse porn so what's not to love about that :), but the interesting threads that encourage some thought and discussion tend to get bombarded with dumb shit and what irks me the most internet beef- wtf? :confused: I get online to be entertained and just like I don't expect to kickbox my remote control every time I want to watch TV, I don't want to read all that e-thug bs. For me, SOL is a condensed version of the non-porn grown folks topics that got drowned sometimes on the main board. Hence I post much more freely here. It's not a gender thing for me really, more a maturity level as Aristotle mentioned.

....but it is nice for us ladies to have some eye-candy too :yes::yes:
 
Very true. But what you have to remember is that BGOL is advertised as a porn board. So the majority of the visitors to this site come looking for porn. That's going to attract alot of men who are immature. Combine that with anonymity and you have people acting like jackasses just cuz there are no reprecussions for their posts.

SOL is a good idea, but there were other forums on BGOL where maturity thrived. (Business forum). But, the only drawback to those other forums is that the topics are limited to specific categories. On SOL, the topics aren't limited as with BGOL, but here the women are encouraged to participate a bit more. And, it attracts the more mature members of the board because any man recognizes that women have more to bring to the table that just sex.

EDIT: oh, and it's not a gender issue. women can be immature too, just in different ways.
 
The reality is that Femme and Lady Scorp and others have more latitude to boot niggas the fuck off the board so them childish punks fear this board more than the other board.

And the other board is where all the come-ups are.

There are come-ups here too but it takes wisdom and sophistication to spot them.... ;)
 
^^^ Yea up until now. . . I thought the main board was just having fun. There were a lot things I found disrespectful but nothing really suprised me. . I mean we all get on here to have some enjoyment. But, the rape post took it to the next level. :smh:

I haven't really read the rape thread yet. I don't click on every thread but that's how i originaly felt about the board. I came here and stayed just to have fun, crack some jokes, laugh,post my opinion if i felt it was important enough to post and give props for a good thread. I know that it's some real misogynist on the board but what do you expect from a porn board. I'd say 30% of the people on this board are here because they love women and black women especially the other 70% are here because they have some real issues to work out and their views on women are mangeld, immature, and inappropriate. I don't know what it was that made them that way I think people take things too personally and they fail to realize that that's the game of life. Take a few blows and a L or two and keep it moving. Alot of the dudes that post have overt feminine traits. Imo they act like little girls. I guess that's the results of multiple generations of matriarchal households. All of the e-beef and exposing people, although it's funny when that particular member desreves it,is unneseary it's not funny it get's boring and i think it's disrespectful especially when they get family and friends involved. It's kind of homo too. what type of man goes searching all over the internet for another mans pictures? I gotta read that thread I don't know what was so bad about it that made it worst than the other threads with the same or similar topics but it seems like it was the straw that broke the camels back. Must have been bad. All of the threads and responses it's getting. I don't take everything said on this site seriously Although you can get some really good advice and info from this board it's still a porn board. I knew we had more knuckel heads on this board than what i originally though when those two lurker proff threads went pass three pages. :smh:
 
Less to do with GENDER and more to do with the stricter rules, the mods here not being scared bitches when it comes to getting rid of troublemakers (Though neither of the three were responsible for the fuckery...well, we'll let that go), and the presence of women. Frankly, I think the women have the biggest impact on the board; the men want to see your goods. And they know they can't act like an ass to see what you have to offer.

I was going to say that too but I let it go. But there has been some real stupid shit posted on the main board lately.
 
I'm enjoying this forum so much. And I have to admit that my ignore list has grown tremendously since SOL started. All the misogynistic, women-haters outed themselves in the multiple threads created to bitch and whine about SOL. There are still people who are immature in SOL, but I feel like we can all disagree without getting disrespectful on this side

Of course not. :hmm:

Basically this is the evolution of it. Like it or love it.

It wasn't always this way but over the last couple of years many of the cast that used to make BGOL "the board" moved on. This new group of characters lack the maturity to pour water out of a pail and it shows in their comments. :smh:

Bingo. It ain't the same game. The players have changed. But they don't know how to play.

:(

The reality is that Femme and Lady Scorp and others have more latitude to boot niggas the fuck off the board so them childish punks fear this board more than the other board.

There's a secret society on BGOL, of about 75 members who hate the mods for various reasons. :hmm: Why I don't know. :dunno:

They be Haten!! :hmm::rolleyes: :D

But for real, if you notice their BAIT threads, when one happens, if you know WHO these people are, and you look at their current activity . . . they're PMing each other. :hmm:

An out of 75 of them, 75 of them HATE Femme.

Oh, and the fact she's a mod.

Expect more such threads.

:hmm:
 
I feel that in all of my conversations that i have ingaged in, I have proven to a be mature adult. I have never disrespected anyone or tried to hook-up with anyone, and I definatly don't talk that gay shit to anyone.... I have even had a long time member confirm to them that I was a female and i guess it didn't make any difference. So why am i constantly being harassed by these females about being ftp.(which i have notified you about) Everytime I start a thread they come in on a negative note and try to shut it down???????????????????? It's not fair. I know I'm new but dam they don't even give you a chance.. I thought that is why they made SOL. Do I have to get naked and show the world my goods just to have an opinion on something. Its a form of bullying and should not be tolerated.​
:cool:

Why put up with that sillyness? Simply put the offenders on ignore. Just click their name, then click view public profile then add them to your ignore list. Also you can simply not respond to them they will get the message. You'll be glad you did.:yes:

What is the purpose of this thread??

Aristotle did you consider the effects of asking such a question? If you are complaining about the actions, and maturity level of some of the newer members, don't you think they will see this and then become even more objectionable? When you give people a list of thing that irritate you, and they enjoy irritating you then they are probably going to do all those things on the list. Femme should delete this thread it's not healthy for the site in general. I'm willing to bet 98% of the people in this thread came to the site because of the main board, so what's the deal with playing the SOL is better than BGOL thing. Remember with out the main board there's wouldn't be a SOL. I say let's not play that game, the fastest way to start a war is to put a wall between people. I figure every body should live on both boards. Or if you're willing to go thought the effort, and it's quite minimal you can go register your own domain, and start your own site, pay for your own hosting, and bandwidth. Spend the time developing a community...etc..etc.

This thread reminds me of some school daze kind of stuff. This is not cool!


:smh: :smh: :smh: :smh:

if the other forum bothers you so much, spread some of the intellectual conversation over there.Make it better why sit over here nd complain? What's the worst that could happen. Some body would type something bad to you? Is it really that bad?

My simple set of rules are
  1. Never try to be who u are not but learn and adapt where necessary.
  2. Never promise what you can not deliver and accept that you can be wrong sometimes
  3. Always try to make the most out of life regardless of what comes at you
  4. And last but never least keep smiling the world is a beautiful place to be.

How lovely.:) Thank you.

It's not about better or worse.It's just different in my eyes, a choice like everything else. I donated to support BGOL as a whole and I will continue to do so.
