A few years ago it was routine for stickies to cross 2000 updoots all the time and within a couple of hours. Posts getting 3000-4000 votes regularly, several times daily.

Fresh information and almost anybody got stickied, not mostly the same 4-5 people. And now it's the rare sticky that crosses 2000, though it's up for much of the day

I remember laughing my ass off as meme after meme came up, fresh and salty. Now if I see a meme, it's more bitter grapes than funny or I saw it days or weeks ago on X.

Poal/Voat/Goat/whatever closed, and all the whackaloons came on board, and the site began to decline due to lack of focus on being a "Neverending Trump Rally" but becoming a Doom and Whinge Fest. "Boomer, boomer, Qtard, doom, doom, doom" The expansion to scored allowed regular brigading from entryist forum sliders who simply kept making new alts and all the FIB-assisted divisiveness took hold. Too many mods were too loose with the rules.

But it just watered down the site with entryists and single-issuers and doomers

Elon buying X basically killed the site that was already critical. One hypothesis is the mods wanted Scored to be the new reddit, so were using loose moderation on PDW (the flagship 'subreddit') to encourage more participation.

I find it's still a useful source of memes, though not at the same frequency as before.

They banned me after I included a link to https://patrick.net/memes with a post. No explanation, no response to me asking why. Maybe they just don't like competition.

Was there possibly a copyright issue?

@Patrick

Wow, I never heard of that happening on PDW. They usually let almost anything go, including no context archive or imggur links.

Try unscored if you want to find the reasons a Mod nixed it:

"Doom and Whinge Fest", LOL

We have a bit of that here too.
