Welcome to the MacNN Forums.

So after some boredom today, I decided to head off to the ole' spymac gallery -- a kinda homage since back in the days, that was one of my favorite mac sites (well, the gallery, at least) -- I think I can share with everyone the belief that the forum is full of immature, confused 13 year old brats who can't speak/type proper english.

So anyway, I ventured over there today, and for some reason felt masochistic enough to see how the forum has grown. We all know that since the over-hyped abomination of design -- spymac 3, had debuted, that the site looked like someone swallowed the GUI of Mac OS X and barfed it into a dreamweaver window, but good lord!

They have people who haven't even been on the site for more than 3 months moderating the damn place! A "guy who knows PCs" bashing half the people in the mac forum, the religious/political place is even worse than the one here, and if the community sucked 2 years ago when the iWalk crap started, well you haven't seen anything until you've been there now.

Heck, I knew something was up when I went to the gallery 6 months ago and saw idiots bashing macs in the setup threads, but this is crazy! It's like the owners of the site don't give a DAMN and let it all go to waste? Like they care.

I still say, if only MacNN started a gallery I'd never venture out there again. Seriously, this place needs one! (then again, I bet it'd be a hard job to get that kinda bandwidth

)

spymac is nice and pretty, but the content lacks.

another place i just discovered like that is MUF. all pretty but useless people who post even more useless things. maybe not, i just found muf, but so far, im not all that sold.

For SpyMac... I seldom been there since the site design as well as the overly hype 1GB free email, it drew way too many 'strangers' to the site. I miss the old SpyMac.com

wait... how odd is this. Bashing another Mac (kinda mac) forum on a Mac forum. My head is spinning.

Why do we need a gallery for stupid made-up "OMG LEAKED!" images? There's Art/Design just around the corner for rasterbation purposes.

rasterbation? no, I don't want to know.

A topic one should never veer off to: Spymac.....

So just take your own freakin' advice.
