lol Man that's the best reply I've had in awhile. Thanks for that.

Yeah, it was pretty bad. And just when we thought it couldn't get any worse, too, cos we had already opened the floodgates for Pewdiepie games. That community was pretty terrible too, but nothing compared to the brats of FNAF.

Basically we went through these different phases of toxicity, a new one every year I was there. First we were getting floods of terrible horror games and slenderclones: too many users uploading nothing but bad slenderclones and bogging down the chat with stupidity related to that.

Then Slendytubbies was released on the site, and came the Slendytubbies/Hamachi plague, where the chatrooms were constantly bogged down or derailed with requests for people to join a Slendytubbies game, or questions about how Hamachi works (despite resources on the forums explaining it). I shit you not, every ten seconds these kids would derail conversations in all the chatrooms with this shit.

Then the Pewdiepie contest, sponsored by the man himself, where the winners would be streamed and reviewed by Pewds. Legions of his dumbass followers flooded the site and used every cheap, childish, dirty tactic they could to place in the contest, and the site was host to infighting every ten minutes.

Then the FNAF bullshit happened.

Combine that with the usual "site mods are nazis, fuck em" factions constantly causing trouble on the site, and dealing with hackers and cyberbullies, and figuring out who actually made a game that was uploaded there, and who was trying to steal credit for it. Honestly it was still worthwhile for the most part, til the FNAF thing. That was probably the worst thing to happen to the site, and I think it's still recovering.
