To be perfectly honest, if I didn't join here already, my first impression of this site would be
"holy fuck, it's infested with trolls and people trying to /b/ each other in the ass. Nobody is productive or does anything useful, everyone argues with each other, and they've got the common sense god gave a fucking rock. I'm going back to gaiaonline."

I blame Trolls, the Shitter, and members who know how to make useful bots and programs quitting.

We all used to chill in the Gaya section and UG Bronze and formulate ideas with each other for new scams and techniques, then pop into the General Discussion, have a good chat, then talk about useless fun shit in the JY.
Now it's all either JY or Shitter, neither of which are looking pretty right now. It's also the only impression newbies really have on the site, and it's giving it a really bad name
