I know this subject has been touched upon many a time, even in the reletively short amount of time (a month or so) that I have been a member of Ubersite, but it never ceases to amaze me how many stupid people post messages with content that looks like a retarded 6th grader wrote it. People who seem to want to post just so that maybe someone will notice them and think they aren't just a stupid 13 year old.
I thouroughly enjoy reading all of the entertaining stories written by the talented authors here, but it seems like the talented ones are the small minority here. For every worthy +2 out there that makes me laugh for 15 minutes, for every post that may actually enlighten me a little bit, there seem to be 20 posts with absolutely no value, that are so bad they don't even motivate me to give them a -2 ranking. It seems there are only a handful of decent writers out here, and it seems like their material is getting drowned in the sea of excrement that is most of the posts here.
Like I said before, I know many people have ranted about this, but it was really bugging me.

I agree. There's tons of crap here, and a much smaller ratio of good to bad than there ever has been in the history of this site. That's what a higher profile on the internet does to a place. Lowers the lowest common denominator until it's way into the negatives. That's the problem.

But I've just the solution! Here, for the first time in... sometime, is the http://www.ubersite.com/m/39188 The Ubersite Scrapbook v2.0! Painstakingly hand-picked and compiled, these are among the cream of the crop in whatever genre you are looking for. Many thanks to all the Uberdudes and dudettes who've sent in their suggestions. It's a continual project, but it should give you a good idea as to the kind of awesomeness and entertainment and the talent that can be found here with enough searching.

Stay orange.

I'd say it, but I was beaten to it.

I know exactly what your saying. Why post if your only going to post shit? At least all of my posts where worth reading; they were insightful and humurous. My posts leave the reader awe-inspired. I'm the best poster here on ubersite, everyone else eats donkey dick.
You know chaffs my pussy lips though? shitty posts like the ones I make get more hits than things that are actually good. The people here on ubersite put on this mask to make themselves out to be more intelligent than your average inernet user. But when it's all said and done, they're just flies. They swarm around shit and eat it up like its fucking filet mignon. They're so quick to jump on a post and tell you what a shitty job you did, yet so reluctant to even open up a post with a positive rating (unless of course it's someone on the mva list and there might be a chance to lick their balls). Truth be told, people prefer a shitty post because they love to bitch. If you hang around here long enough, you'll find that most users here are whinning little bitches. if they aren't bitching about politics, or sports than they're bitching about the last person who got banned, or how their throat is raw from sucking too much cock. I don't give a shit though, I just pound my tits against the keyboard and hit the "hook me up" button. Secretly, I know they love me for it. After all, if it wasn't for people like me, they would have to find something else to bitch about.
