It appears that the majority of the Graalians.com community has resorted to posting clickbait and troll threads. What happened? The artistic scene has dissolved into a pea-sized fragment of what it used to be, and the threads that aren't made to troll are either practical game update threads, or new members from Zone that think they've found the key to the universe. Is it the mods? Is it the community? Is it time for Graalians to pull the plug?  

im calling it, ban happens soon

im calling it, ban happens soon

It's a serious discussion about the fate of our beloved forums  

Once you start getting them circly bois you'll just end up wanting more and more  

It's not about the clickbait and troll threads. The problem is with the dump trucks full of ****posts. About 2015, most of the core of this community left; at the same time theres an influx of younger teens who think theyre funny and post **** that (a) does not contribute anything to conversation, (b) is not funny under anyone's definition of humor, and (c) they arent even good at trolling. In the last 3 years, posters like RyanB and Weeno have dragged the average IQ of this website below 50.

Oh, and not to mention, for awhile a large section of the community also got taken over by the LGBTQSJWATTACKHELICOPTORUNICORNXYZ's that most other members dont want to participate in.  

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand my posts. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also my nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike my posts truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in my existential ****post which itself is a cryptic reference to DJ Meow. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as my ****post genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. ��

And yes, by the way, i DO have a fidget spinner tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid ��  

wat.

Honestly. Same.  

My Christmas thread was actually sincere...  

I'm only on the forum periodically now but the quality of the content posted is relatively the same from when I used to be active. I think the community is just smaller now. I would say a few years ago Graal had a lot of users who were totally dedicated to the game so the idea of a forum was very appealing to them but nowadays I think many players just play Graal casually and don't look to interact with the community outside of the game.
