But seriously, wtf?
What has this site become?

This is exactly what happened when people started disliking NGU. It's trying to become a corporation. Like the staff "Management" and "Content Team." And who deserves the "status" of bold? What, in my opinion that it really is, is everyone here seems to take this site way to seriously. I know that's what I did when I was here.

What is Gammalabs? This is supposed to be a site where we'd come to talk to people who have similar interests - not somewhere that actually you have to follow rules - and have people compete to have the site run smooth. Everyone should just come, be chill, and not flame.

Was the site really low on active members/money? An energy drink lol?

Now people are going to say this is my opinion, but is this not what everyone else is thinking?

Back to the usergroup names: "Content Team" - I honestly think that is the most "gay" thing I've ever heard. And bold: Why is that such a big deal here? Honestly, no matter what anyone who's been staff should be former staff. Not a requirement, if you play one pro football game, you still were a pro. Like wtf?

"Oh, so and so doesn't deserve it" that's stupid, you guys really seem to think this site will run forever. Have fun while it lasts, not take something away that people deserve, like the non italicized names, that's stupid. They deserve bold just as much as the next guy.

Anyway this will probably get trashed, but I thought I'd share my opinion, I'd been here from the start, and noticed how it's changed. I was quiet, never said anything until now. But this is coming from someone who isn't part of the "community" anymore. If I was a new member, I'd think the same exact thing.

Travis:
"Agree with the corporation and titles part, but not the bold part.

"Everyone should just come, be chill, not flame."

We can all wish NGU would be like this, but NGU hasn't even been close in a long time. The only time everyone was chill and didn't flame was probably when the site first started.

I have never heard of Gammalabs until NGU decided to plaster the background of the site with the ad, and I would never be interested in buying their product. As long as that background is gone, and it's helping out the site it doesn't bother me. That little side ad was disappointing though... Again why do premiums and elites who aren't supposed to have ads see ads? I adblocked it anyways, but still.

And I just want to add this too. If NGU is trying so hard to be "professional" why do we have 200 smilies with half (probably more) of them being internet memes? I also still stand with the fact that Elite should be only 1 color as having 10 different colors and a rainbow in the shoutbox/active users doesn't look professional either.

One last final thought is where the hell is Outsider in all this? I think he should be announcing these big decisions rather than just hearing that he agreed to it. Just like NGS, NGU isn't going to go anywhere without him."
