great alternative to lobotomy
if youre looking for a place to chat, make friends, play around in the background when the message logs doesnt interest you for 30 seconds, or maybe youre just too nervous to try out IRC chat rooms, this site is for you. but if youre someone looking for a lobotomy any% speedrun i would also suggest this site, because in the words of Sascha Konietzko, this website is a paradise for assholes. ive been here for at least a year, and i can count that ive died about 365 times. that should make you ponder.
pros:
-as far as the lore goes its really just a reincarnation of the original bonziworld site, however the safest option out there (does not mean completely safe. and ignore this statement if you think im fearmongering, but considering the amount of attacks on this site i suggest you think thrice before you enter)
-has decent moderation (better than most of the bw clones out there)
-well respected and reputable community (mostly on discord. and we dont talk about Seamus.)
-flexible UI and settings. you can use your CSS prowess to change to an MLG styled windows 95 theme if you wanted to.
-frequent updates and patches
-excellent customer support
cons:
-susceptible to massive attacks (no pun intended) by mostly flooders and skiddies ddossing. managable but the server loses it every time it happens. youll also lose your ears.
-moderation is infrequent and inconsistent, sometimes doesnt do anything at all or just outright biased
-sometimes said moderation "works", but is passed into wrong hands, mostly incompetent and malicious. at that point youll have a fraction of a second to realize whats going on before youre banned over Palestine. (im aware that the devs are working 25 hours a day to fix this issue or it has already been fixed, but proceed with caution)
-Youcef
-*was* ambushed by a legion of braindead kids commanded by what i assume to be Doggis. if you want a drinking game, take a shot every time someone says "grounded" or OfficerKirov247 joins the room; itll send you into debt with the beverage bills, the hospital bills and the funeral bills. the consequences still live on, but the BIA have mitigated this by declaring war on GoAnimate, dropping the frequency of Caillou and "grounded" messages by about 75%.
(tl;dr gokids infected the message log with unfunny jokes and irreparably damaged the integrity of the community)
all in all, im neutral. everything i said about is subjective, and i wasnt meant to scrutinize this site or discourage people from joining, but rather making something informational to leave people to decide for themselves. i also apologize in advance if ive missed something or maybe misconstrued in my testimony (by the time im writing this, im not sober) if thats the case, elaborate as much as you can. and given enough time and updates i will reevaluate and write a follow up should anything new happens on this site.
