Tired of holding up the flag of good Tiki. The "Tiki is supposed to be fun and is therefore a free for all" crowd is growing, and often I seem to be the only one stemming the tide. All my friends are already making fun of me still caring so much and putting so much time in here, they have moved on. I said almost this exact same thing to someone last week. It's embarrassing being the person waving her arms and screaming, "Wait. Tiki Central used to be so amazing. It was about collecting and sharing knowledge and preserving our tiki heritage." Now it's just one big partyfest. Sorry for ragging on everyone's good time. Woohoo!!!! Let's all get ridiculously hammered and post our blurry drunken pictures just to prove that we're having a better time than all those stupid purists. Although I've given up on many of my more futile pursuits in life, I still think that the integrity of TC is worth fighting for. I'm just not sure that it can be saved at this point. I'm not saying that everything I post is worth reading. I post far more silly things that would have gone into PMs a few years ago.
