It was 100% better in the past, due to numerous factors, and I myself generally abhor nostalgiafagging for anything.

1) Mods used to actually speak with the userbase, now they ignore the userbase and pretend to not exist. Any arguments or discussions with them no long happen, all you get is a 3 day unappealable spam ban with no recourse besides to just evade and not even bother mentioning it again since they don't care and won't respond anyways.

2) The majority of posters were previously people actually interested in the hobby of the board, now the majority of posts are made by small off-site cliques who pair up with the mods/janitors to intentionally troll every topic and general on the board, where mentioning these bad actors results in you getting the 3 day unappealable ban for "off topic", while their pet troll continues their off topic troll spamming endlessly day in day out for years.

3) Because of 1 and 2, the effort posters and intelligent people have mostly left, the only reason anyone of any intelligence is left here is because they are antisocial and get banned by the increasingly strict and over bearing thought police everywhere else. The fraction of worthwhile people has gotten less and less, with only a handful of antisocial worthwhile people sticking around, who themselves don't bother putting in any effort anymore because the obvious reality of 4cuck.org being nothing but a shitpost pen for trolling from off-site mod/janitor approved cliques becomes more and more apparent with each day.
