the thing about the old days…


They was the old days…

Just a shame what this place has become. A ghost town. :sad:

BGOL ain't no where near a ghost town. The Black Velvet Lounge and Peoples board are ghosts towns. As for everybody from the "good old days". Those who are still alive have matured. There is a lot less trolling and bullshit beef threads on BGOL. Most importantly the board works and the site owner is also a member who interacts. Unlike some other places that haven't been updated or maintained in years.
 


This is JUST what we needed. :lol:He’s not wrong. Many days it’s kinda eh. Decent threads get no traction; the fun ones can be rare or short-lived.

The board has definitely matured. That's what drove me away 4 or 5 years ago. Feeling like I was trapped in a kindergarten study hall, I bailed. The board was intolerant, juvenile and there was very little presented that had intelligent, enlightening or academic value. Guys beefing with people they created themselves in order to induce more male attention. How goddamned "odd" can a man be? The board is more serious, ... at least much of the time. In that regard I kinda miss my favorite nemesis, Nzinga. He personified some true "assaholean" tendencies, but you had better have been on top of your facts and figures if you chose to engage him in debate. I'm without doubt one of the more polarizing members on the board and much of what I say will offend some, depending on their perspective and persuasion, but for the most part, I'm tolerated and/or ignored now. I'm 70 years in the making. I'm who and what I am, and there is no time or desire for a change. Everyone has the choice to ignore those they wish not to hear from. Only one, so far, has attacked the memory of my mother because he resented my opinions or my right to hold and voice them. Freedom of religion includes, by nature and design, freedom FROM religion! Not everyone knows or respects that. I hope the board survives and continues to become more educational and enlightening. As MLK said, "I may not get there with you" but as a race we need that. We need to elevate. We were denied over 300 years of societal and educational progress that the rest of the world enjoyed without us, and we are ANYTHING BUT in lockstep with the rest of the world. We are trailing and generally deficient and uncompetitive in so many regards. We need the debates and openness to welcome an array of differing opinions because that, in essence, mimics a microcosm of the world itself. You'll have to be inclusive of all kinds in your everyday affairs, now more than ever, and in your professions, so you may as well get used to those circumstances and occurrences here. My 2 cent.
 
Just take a look at the GIFs that people use to respond to in this thread. If I’m under 22, I barely understand most of those GIFs. Hell, those shows have been off the air for damn near 20 years
 
remember porn isn't the same,this was a place where you could see shit that was locked behind a membership or subscription and that was a big draw.

the internet isn't the same
 
It's like a senior community now......lol Most of us are 40+ that contribute regularly.

I agree there is less engagement than in previous years, but a lot of that engagement was beefs and bullshit ( which could be funny at times )

It's mostly the same cats that comment and react to posts. Like we are all getting together every now and then to play Bingo and eat some green jello together and talk about the big booty nurses.

Still fun and I get lots of laughs from the site.
