  1. see my post. You don't really understand the entire dynamic of this community or how communities work. The problem isn't shouting and crowdsourcing it's that everyone is internet srs business all the fucking time instead of joking about shit. There's time to be serious and that's almost none of the time - it's why this place was this place. "doing it for the lulz" is different than being cruel or being a complete fucking idiot on completely provable/disprovable discussions. There's some shit that goes on here where things are serious and people are trying to be serious making completely boneheaded arguments that take 5 seconds of research to know they are terrible. It's different than joking or adding brevity to a situation. Again, you have no idea what the fuck you are talking about. People don't care about rep, they care about the content, and the community.
  2. You are all completely wrong. The problem is that everyone thinks this stuff is serious and they can't joke about it, because it isn't funny to them. Younger people (15 years younger) think this stuff is funny. There's a ton of stuff to make fun of and be absurdist about. Everyone here is just too old and too "mature" to joke about some of this stuff and are starting to get worn down in real life because the internet isn't a fucking game, it's real llife now. This is why we need young people to come here, to bring the silly side back and have an irreverence for what's going on and create the funny silly spin on it.
  3. I don't waste a single second thinking about you. Leave me the fuck out of whatever the hell it is y'all are doing here.
  4. stupidity has invaded everywhere post covid. It used to be unacceptable to be stupid, now it's completely normalized so everyone is becoming more and more stupid.
  5. this is terrible, but I think the answer is kind of obvious...
  6. what? check now. I'm messing with a sample embed card.
  7. I also think there's a way to make the feed much better and conducive to a media rich experience.
  8. The core posters aren't going anywhere, but they are starting to die off quite literally. There is no fresh blood coming and it's been a problem for a while. Twitter absolutely sucks, but the media is posted there. I have a plan to change that soon, but we really need people using surly first and Twitter second or never instead of using Twitter and then posting stuff here from there. I think a clip generator tool where people can do analysis of the games/plays or just clip certain segments and post their thoughts would go a super long way. I also think a season replay/media repository will help keep people here on the site. I'm also trying to build out a gif repo going so we host the gifs everyone uses instead of having to go to yarn or giphy or whatever. There's a lot to do to really modernize this place and make it a place that everyone who is a fan should come beyond just a discussion/message board. People just aren't that into that form anymore.
  9. TBH this place is on the verge of death. Football is becoming less and less important and everyone just wants to dumb down to consumption instead of participation. This place wasn't started as a content aggregator and it didn't evolve into one either, but embeds have really made it hard to participate.
  10. screenshots and commentary isn't the same thing as just posting a bunch of twitter links. TBH the overall discussion has been a lot better without hit and run embed posts, because it forces people to actually have an opinion. I do think that for some of the announcement type stuff and the hype videos I need to figure something out (which I'm doing now) and then we will be fine. I've got something that can replace all prior embeds with just a link to twitter already done, but I want to see about replacing it with a rich media version first and get that working so it won't just suck.
  11. I'm actively working on a solution for video
  12. So surly is supposed to just be an index of tweets?
  13. Nope. They are volume keys that are legit.
  14. So why don't news platforms make a Shorts style app etc?
  15. You have to wait a few seconds. Twitter is slow as shit.
  16. I think there's a lot going on that is making historically decent posters just emotionally charged messes. There's a huge conflict in Europe, the middle east and now domestically there is a massive regime change with a strongly rejected ideology taking over. Everyone just needs to fucking chill and stop acting like anything really matters that much on this website. This website didn't elect Trump, bomb Palestine or invade Ukraine. I blackholed a Nazi owned site because Elon very obviously and very intentionally gave a Nazi salute.
  17. Yeah, this is why personal injury attorneys exist. City/county info useful.
  18. So they get their news from tiktok?
  19. Without being a creep I need to hang out with some 15-20 year olds for a month to understand wtf it is they are doing because they clearly don't understand computers.
  20. They don't do any marketing.
  21. We really need recruits to use it then it would be good.
