I am retiring from SR effective immediately.
Obviously there are some very good people over there like Jon and Lisa (and many others) - but overall they seem to pander to the lowest common denominator (which is at Nathan or Handsome Devil epic low IQ depths.)
They used to be about the snark (like TWoP) but I think the community has become stale and embittered. Now it is all about personal attacks and demeaning rants. I can understand why V1man decided to leave a few weeks back and now I am following suit.
At least we have "take out the trash day" around here - often, if you know what I mean!
*wink* *wink*
Selective pruning keeps the conversation much lighter and generally on topic. Sure, Vevmo does have a "group think" feel at times, but there is still a good variety of arguments being brought to the table in a civilized manner on any given topic (well, except on Shauvon of course...)
As much as I enjoyed bringing my expertise in the Real World/Road Rules genre to SR, I am sure they will do just fine copy and pasting my wealth of knowledge from here without my implicit input.

Btw I would go to TwOP any day over SR, at least some of their critisisms are funny.

I also would consider TWoP a good second choice for a television discussion forum as there is intelligent talk on a variety of topics (although they are even running commercials on Bravo at this point so it is not like they are a small forum.)
....but who needs a second choice when you have such a good first one?
NOTE: I don't want to see this thread turn into a massive SR bashing bastion. Just because parents have naughty kids, doesn't mean the parents are bad.
