Things We've Learned From The BBS
rohina:
And the idiots will claim the moral highground, establishing idiocy as the only appropriate world view, and dumb down all discourse, so that anyone who is not an idiot will be attacked and abashed and made to feel ostracized because intelligence will be made to seem socially unacceptable. The BBS gave me valuable insight into the attitudes of indulged teenagers who think that everyone deserves a bene and 5 stars all the time because ratings systems are clearly only there so that everyone can be rated "excellent".

Ain't it the truth? What's worse is, the intelligent posters will eventually find someplace else to post leaving the field to the idiots.
Any time there's a "bene" system in effect, there will be people begging for them. It encourages some pretty low behavior. I didn't get to be the second Supreme Social Sim (after Pinstar1161, creator of the Legacy Challenge) by begging for benes. I got it by reseaching the heck out of the game and writing up what I'd found. The only time my signature even *mentioned* benes was right after Christmas when we got an influx of new people who needed to be educated that there was a bene system in place.
I guess the whole effect of the bene system is something else I learned from the BBS.

The bene system to me is futile as people give out bene's over nothing .I rarely ever give bene's or sign guest books .perhaps thaat's why I am still after almost 2 years on the BBS a tongue tied tourrist .and community rank of pollination technician.

Im about the same age as that car..I cant remember the exact title but for some reason it reminded me of that book. Buick was in the title- it was some sort of transport machine (living thing actually) to another dimension and it sent weird oddities to earth and killed a few people.
The name of the book of Stepen King you are referring too is "Christine" that devil car. Maybe I should rent the movie been a long time since I saw it...
