Oh, a bit has changed. Reading this old election gag situation was rather interesting. 9 years later, I'm still pulling off some of these same old stunts and using a "braggart" type personality for jokes on the Funhouse. But, I think I've been able to refine it better. Sometimes I was too overeager and came off as a bit of a little **** for lack of a better term. I'd like to think I reign that tendency in a bit more so that I don't turn something fun into something a bit sour and still keep my humor enjoyable for all.
Plus, it used to be that if I started something like the election thread, there were a lot more forumer's who'd jump in on the idea and cause it to blossom and spiral into some big funhouse antics. Look at the amount of threads that were created of other people suddenly running for office and how the conversation spilled all over into multiple threads. You don't see a lot of that anymore. Nowadays, stuff is pretty self-contained or might crossover into just one or two other threads. Closest we've come lately was all "the _ is officially no more" threads.
But I never stop dreaming and believing those type of shenanigans can happen here again. I just think the biggest thing needed is more young people here on the forums who have that extra time to engage in these things. This was 9 years ago when a lot of us were in our early 20's and had that time. In the present day, many people now have more real life commitments to be as active or enact the ideas they may have once had or still have for forum fun. That said, I think the biggest factor in getting younger users on here is through Nintendo and their sales. If NX can be a hit like Wii, then we'd probably see more new users around here. In the meantime, I've still got ideas to keep throwing out there to keep things interesting.
