It's always been that way. The freedom, anarchy, and let-it-all-hang-out anonymity of this place is what drives it, it is what keeps us all here no matter how shitty it gets. It's the only reason these boards survived ten years, and if they are going to survive another ten years, it will be for the same reason. On the other hand, one upshot of that is that you will have to expect the lowest common denomonator in human interaction at all times, and be on the lookout for the worst in people. You can't remove all the police and then complain when the crime rate goes up.
It's frustrating, but the only way to eliminate this frustration would be to eliminate the core reason for coming here in the first place.
I'm mentally ill and I don't harbor any hatred of females either. Except for sluts. And lying bitches. And cunts who won't shut up. And fucking whores who are loud and inconsiderate and need to be punched in the face. And fucking dumb slits who use their pussy as currency. And maybe women with loud shoes, because fuck them who the fuck do they think they are? God damn fucking cunts.

She's 18. At that age people flit about and don't stick with things for long periods of time. Don't take it personally.
On the other hand, I have always relished driving hens away from the red board. The lulz I get from watching white knight manlets shit themselves have made it well worthwhile. Remember Vixen2000 anyone?
At its height, FC was getting thousands of posts per hour. Since about 2003, It has been on a constant downward spiral. This board is lucky to make a couple of hundred posts per hour.
It may struggle on for another year or two, but at some point the cost of running it will start to irritate the good samaritan who took it on. One day, you'll load it up and get a 404.
Someone else will pick it up, and get 50 posts/day.

Interestingly, when FC was shut down, Pud did put it into the hands of a broker, to try and sell it.
This was a site that was not functioning, so had zero traffic.
I had a very brief discussion with the broker about it, with the idea of maybe paying 10 grand or something, and getting it up and running. The broker said he was looking for around US$3 million.
