edit: mods deleted this again, i figured maybe the title was controversial. i don't care how many times they delete this, i spent time on it and it's important so i'm going to keep posting it. i'm on an ALT for the safety of my account. -curiouscookies3

hello my fellow forumers, I just saw Its_Somewhat quitting thread which inspired me to make this thread.
gonna try and keep it short, OT has been absolute crap this year. late 2014 and 2015 were the only other years I've forumed here (on a different account, explaining my low post count) and they were my best. I stopped foruming as much and took a lot of long breaks in late 2015, and I didn't forum much at all this year after seeing what it was turning into during early summer. I didn't come back until last month, and it might not seem like a long time gone but it really is.
we've lost a whole lot of good OT'ers, I don't see barely anyone that I remember from last year except for a few oldies.
OT was better even when everyone worshipped Tappier and REDIVIAN to be truthful, now everyone just talks about that stupid Avecy guy and all of the other summerbag spammers.
we can't let OT crash and burn like this, it really used to be a good subforum. I even remember when I'd leave ATR and come visit here in 2012 - 2013, those weren't the best quality posts years but they were still better than now.
in OT's defense, this whole year has been absolutely terrible in general, with all of the attacks in different countries and states, but we need to get our act together before next year, unless we wait last minute for new years resolutions.
here I'd like to list specific things that have caused OT to crash and burn down the hill;
- the hashtag filter update: god i hate this so much, this isn't even the fault of the community, but we need to come up with something to get rid of this or at least surpass it. as I'm typing this, I can't wait to click preview and see how much gets hashtagged.
- summerbags: obviously, we get summerbags every year. but the summerbag spammers have affected OT a lot this year, there has been so much spam. the reason why is because children are getting older and discovering the forums, meaning more immature preteens. kids have changed so much within the last 5 years, it sounds weird but seriously.
- lack of interesting topics: this is something that's kinda 50/50 with the fault of the community. there hasn't been any very interesting things/news this year other than the tragic attacks over the world and the 2016 american presidential election. next year will be better, i hope.
that's pretty much all the crosses my mind at the moment.
if you are in support in making OT great again, i'd appreciate it if you replied to this thread with your support. i'm sure i'll get some trolls and that's what we need to get rid of.
