Is it just me or is the base a shadow of its former self?

Things change get over it.

Cry about it somewhere else.

Look complaining about it won't fix the forum. Since your in a way doing the same damn thing. You should instead use that time to do better things in life, if you feel the Base is not the same anymore. Look all great things come to an end, so just move on and get over it.

This forum is an open medium and I respect the fact that people can post practically whatever they want no matter their viewpoint or ideology. I am exercising my right to post something which has been eating at my mind whenever I open this site and view its content.

The main purpose of this thread was to gather a consensus from others who were around then to see if maybe I am the one who changed, or if what I am feeling others are aswell.

So what are your type of threads? Idiotic theories on why Tobi is Izuna or Fugaku?

I mentioned it earlier and I suppose I can use his threads as an example as to what I am referring to, even if he wasn't the sole person who made threads like it, he is known for his threads so maybe you can get an ideas to what I am talking about.

Dr.Proofs threads.

I haven't seen what 2012 Naruto Base looked like, so I wouldn't understand. Though, I do know there is some immature members (I will not say any names.) that post endless '*enter fav jutsu name* GG' and threads that just start ridiculous arguments.

If you're telling me back in the day, those sorts of things rarely happened if ever, then I'm pretty surprised. With how fast some people get banned here, Narutobase keeps a lot of order right now.

(And please do not put me in the pile of '2014 members who ruin this base'. I keep myself in line and respond to threads in respectable and serious ways, if not a slight, unoffensive joke at times.)
Only irrational thinkers do that.

Take off the rose-tinted glasses and see its because there isnt much mystery left in the manga.

These days, you barley see Hiruzen threads. Maybe they pop up once in a while but these Itachi threads are just too much.

And these days, you barely see Itachi threads. Maybe they pop up once in awhile but these Character bashing threads are too much.

2014 members ruined it for us

You shouldn't talk about how 2014 members ruined it, seeing that you are one yourself, and that you are the newest out of the batch.

How about making an analytic thread instead of crying about it.

You do have a point, however now that the manga is coming to an end, expect the trolls to troll the hell out of everyone before everyone moves on with their life and NB goes inactive, slowly of course.

And that's true, now you always see the typical thread of ''My fav -> your fave, gg'' ''Totsuka GG blitz GG'' ''Naruto borrows power, Sasuke doesn't GG'' ''Eyes -> Body'' ''Sasuke -> Your fav, if you disagree, you're a salty fanboy GG''

It has to come to a point that most of the premium members have stopped coming to the Naruto Discussion because there are too many trolling threads that is barely any fun. It's somewhat tiring.

I suppose that's true, you rarely see any nowadays. I would go to other forums in the base but I want to discuss Naruto, and I wouldn't see where else to go. I guess I can just attribute the trolling to the death rattles of the manga. I guess I just needed to make this thread to vent...

That's the thing, it seems it would be a waste of time considering the social norm of this base has been to troll, and I never was a good producer of that content, but I thoroughly enjoyed the content itself.

Itachi fans are to blame. They took a complete dump on all other fanbases along with Kishi trying to make Itachi look like some sort of god.

If I say "solo" the first thing that pops into your head is Itachi. Other fans have retaliated by copying this trend, but ultimately Itachi fans to blame.

Even with Itachi not in the manga, haters cannot keep their anger contained (I admit, I am one of them but Itachi deserves it).

EDIT: Trolling for some is the only way to survive here. If you post a thread about Kabuto, Kakashi, Oro, Obito, etc you risk being ridiculed by Itachi fans.

I know how you feel but now that naruto is coming to an end you will probably see more trolling threads until the last chapter comes out and then maybe we will be getting some actually threads about what kishimoto missed with the final chapter, like addressing some plot,etc.

Is just not itachi, it's every fanbase, there are actually fans and the ones that are illogical to the point you hate the fanbase overall.

I loved this site back in 2012 and before. Threads were actually analytically based instead of shit-flinging based.

Nowadays 90% of threads are about putting others down or shit-flinging.

I havn't seen a quality thread for years.

Is this just me?

As the manga declined, so did the base.

No it's not the same. Temari fans can be illogical but they don't have "mangafacts".

Itachi fans can be illogical with the use of "mangafacts". This where the problem lies. If I make an Orochimaru appreciation thread, I guarantee you some idiotic Itachi fan will come in with a scan of Orochimaru getting owned.
