So the TL;DR is that the site's biggest problem is that the community has gradually devolved into an autistic gang war and Null hasn't done shit to curtail it.Personally, I don't think A&N is really that big of a problem. So a news forum is not a site that primarily talks about lolcows. In fact, I'd go as far as to say that it was a bigger problem in 2019 due to the New Zealand shit where newfags came in droves to A&N and hacked it up. People whine now, but it was I'd say that problem was mostly solved. A&N got mods, threads became less cluttered with 1488'ers and moreso with right-wing normies, and most of the real spergtastic shit gets moved to Thunderdome.
The real problem with the site is that because of the 2019 shit as well as the hack, factions of the site have been created that are constantly going at it towards each other and Null isnt doing shit to bring people together. There are multiple cliques of people who go onto the Farms and now those cliques are starting to go at each other. It feels very separated. This isn't a problem that's uniquely political, but it's a problem with the community of the site. The whole thing about "users encouraging war" or "NULL FOSTERED AN ENVIRONMENT AND SIG'S POST AND BLAH BLAH" or whatever is a small little part of a molehill that gets made into a mountain and even then, very few if any do those. The site having T&H fags, A&N fags, Beauty Parlor fags, and chatfags constantly at each others' throats and then Null just sitting back and letting it happen is what really bothers me. He doesn't even try to reign them in or whatnot or take a position of leadership, he just lets it happen because as long as people are on his site, well, who cares.
Sounds about right.
