Text was never good and everyone complaining about the state it's in needs to STFU already.

I was active from 99-03ish, then completely absent till 2010, so IMO shit has changed tremendously. I was honestly shocked to see that it was still around tbh. I think people just get nostalgic. I know I do.

Yeah but your smart enough to know text in still kind of in its infancy stage in these terms .... talk to any sports fan who's over the age of 65 about his favourite sport snd he will tell you about the game that was not is ... he will almost always speak of a different era and how much better it was even if it wasnt ... text hasn't been around all that long so all the proverbial 65 year old fans remember better days ... because it was new and pure and they were having fun ... now their older prob burnt out etc etc

Nailed it. When I first got into text it was super fun. I was also a kid so I had tons of time to do it. Now I primarily come in here to bullshit and read others' work, occasionally post mine. Just don't have the time to make it as fun as it used to be, and even if I did it will never captivate me as much as it did when I was 11 lol
