Whatever happened to b3ta?
I used to love b3ta.com
Now it's rubbish.
It has gone from being an amusing site where people posted really quite funny pictures that they had found in google and then altered to make a topical/studenty sort of joke, to being a site where toss heads post not-hilarious, poorly written splurges about how they got right pissed when they was 14, racist slurs (the old "it's not racism if they're white!!" tactic), homophobia (if something's bad, it's GAY!! hahahah haha so clever), and otherwise dull, generic banter of the sort spouted by 15 year-olds who've managed to get served.
At first, I really thought it was a joke. The final straw was BunnyGirl's response to the question What Has Made You Cry Recently? Hew answers: Lord Of The Rings, Star Wars, Harry Potter. Not because they were all incredibly dull films though.
Oh why do I bother?

Actually, I have found that I'm not the only person to have noticed this downturn in quality… but I may be the slowest!
Tom Coates drew attention to the issue on his Plasticbag blog in… er… 2002.

I'm still right.
