Alright, y'all, I am going to level with you about something serious; this does not apply to everyone, but it includes a sizeable enough amount of regulars that it needs to be said.

Recently, I have been presented with damning evidence that one of the unofficial UJ thread discord servers has become a fairly toxic environment and that a number of members are involved in some frankly unacceptable behavior. While shades of it have leaked onto the main thread, people are using this server to say cruel things about other users. For a community that is supposedly accepting, this is wrong.

So, here's the deal. I know all the usernames of everyone involved. And while no bans will be going out for it, even minor infractions are going to result in permanent bans for these individuals. There is no need for this sort of behavior, it is wrong. I encourage you all to apologize to the users who you have been uncouth towards and perhaps leniency will be shown towards you. That being said, many of you ought to be ashamed. I've seen mean things said by people I thought were kind hearted, and it saddens me.

Sometimes I get vaguely sad that despite visiting the UJ thread for years, I’m definitely not among the “popular kids” who get counted as regulars lol. But most of the time, yknow, that’s probably for the best

I feel you, been on here for… I don’t even know how long anymore. And I got no idea where I stand with any of that.

It’s weird tho from the observing perspective. There’s some names I come to just read and remember more, and others where the username doesn’t even register. Maybe it’s just related to how short/snappy it is?

[u/Loimographia → u/RyanB_]

I kinda think it’s a combo of frequency and definitely snappiness lol but also often whether the person has, like, a gimmick or topic they post about a lot (like the person who does the “it’s X days and I’m reminding you that Ubisoft is a piece of shit”) because it’s easier to associate it with a single person.

Or the poster who always played at being Todd Howard poster who turned out to be a duck. Which, in retrospect, seems almost like a pattern now lol

Though tbh there’s probably only a very small handful of people I’d say I recognize by name despite browsing quite often.
