GD should have never been moved to the Boards

Am I the only one that is seeing a rapid decrease in post quality, along with appearance of gems such as "boards suck fek you rito" and endless spam of a single discussion in all of the boards sections? Are there really any pros to incorporating GD into boards along with people that miss it because they liked the trolling and drama?

But really, have we not, as the Boards Community, created enough constructive discussions and valid feedback? Look what we have done even though we where few. We shared fanart, we had some good laughs in memes and games, we discussed reworks... And it was all made possible because we didnt come here for drama or trolling. We wanted to discuss Lol matters on Lol dedicated forums.

But look at us now. I really do want to believe this is temporary. I really do.

The "boards suck" spam will die over time. This is absolutely nothing new; any change in this game will cause some amount of bitching one way or another, whether by a huge group of people or just one special little snowflake.

People can play this game for ages, but still can't accommodate themselves to change; it's kind of mind-boggling when you think about it.

I think it has to do with the closure of the old forums and the childish reaction by many. I have seen that moderation is better here, so I feel that things will settle down over time.

No, and in fact, I have seen quite the opposite. More of the posts on the front page have to do with real discussion and not the old cesspool of people on GD who talked about nothing. The moderation is better, and I'm glad all of those posters are gone. You will see a lot of people crying about the boards, but like everything else that's new and changing, it will blow over and we can begin a new cycle of actual, meaningful content and discussion.
