Death of the random club

As a user who has been around since 09, I've seen this club growing and flourish as one of the best/most active spots on the whole website and it saddens me to the state where it's gotten.
The problem it's not the questions (I remember spending my nights answering them over and over again). It's the quality. For example, 1, maybe 2 years ago, the questions would often ask about our opinions on this and that and then, would lead to interesting/intelligent debates and 'random chats' between the users. But the 'boom' of trolls that came to Fanpop, those stupid questions like "Will you fan me?" or "Do you think I'm pretty?" or other idiotic things that happened around here made the people get fed up with this and they left. We lost really great users because of this.
However, I admit I'm also to blame. I know I could post questions and contribute more to this spot, but it's not the same. Maybe one day this spot could come back to what it was, but I don't see that happening soon.

This club died a long time ago. It's a shadow of it's former self inhabited by drama, stupidity, cancer, unfunny jokes, unfunny users, repetitive jokes and the list just goes on and on and on and on. The day that my account gets deleted or suspended, this would be my reaction:

Where have you been? The Random club has been dead for a while now. I wouldn't care if it shut down at this point.

It has always been that way, but there is something new on occasion.

It's been this way for a while. I'm about to leave here myself. .-.

Yush,the Random club has been dead for a while...but what do you say of making it alive again?

Or just forget it no matter what random things we think of they'll always be the same as the ones already here.

It's been dead for a while.
I don't really care about the same thing getting asked about a million times to be honest.
...One thing I kinda miss are those fail trolls that spam this spot with questions that aren't even questions, I honestly miss that because there hasn't been as much lol here as it used to. XP

This club will probably stay dead and not recover honestly. I don't mind the same question asked but I do mind most of the users that were awesome have left the club. The people who are here don't give a shit about the club. Like I've told ya months ago. This club is hopeless and that is unfortunate.

I have already decreased my time here by 80%. I might just go all the way and go to 100%

To the old users like us, random club has been dead for a pretty long while and not just dead but brimming with stupidity. The new users won't get it so random club isn't dead to them yet. I was hoping maybe the return of a few intelligent users might perk it up just a little bit but that wasn't the case...

Yeah I understand ya. Its starting to get a little irritating but I don't think there will really be a death to this club.

This club is pretty dead.I've only been on this club once in a while.I've been exploring other clubs.I could real care less if this club is gone.

How long has it been dying? I've been a fan for about a year and a half, and it's definitely gone downhill since then, but had it been like this before I joined?

I'm not on here as much as I was - all the annoying new users and repetitive questions are seriously getting to me, and loads of the old guys have left.

not necessarily.
there are plenty of questions that have been left unasked for some time now. as a user that's been here for more than a year, i've seen this place transform from when it was a happy place to what it is now.
honestly it was expected. nothing can go on forever. at some point the cycle must begin anew, as it has done now. new users will come and fix this place up, believe me. i may not be here to witness it, but this place will come back.
i just hope the next run was longer than this one

I mean the club is dead now, I hope it'll come back
alive one day like it use to be.
As for the question new users are asking questions that has already been asked?
I wish we knew how to get Random back up again.
I mean it'll come back people start coming back, it want stay like this forever a lot of people are gonna start
coming back to this site like it did when I seen this site.
Not on this account.
So we gotta just wait. xD
I came there when r-pattz was still here but was leaving, but she was still active.
Did she take everyone? xd

I'M NEVER OUTTA QUESTIONS, I'M JUS NOT SHARING THEM!!!
Y DOES EVERY1 HATE DENMARK!!
NORWAY, LEAVE DENMARK ALONE!!!

It's really hard to say. I've seen a few questions - only a handful - that were a tad different from any I've seen, but that doesn't say much. I know this club used to be more active, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who has witnessed the spiraling downfall.

New obstacles have arisen - obstacles we did not have in the past as frequently: trolls, desperate users, hateful questions, etc.

But, just like the world's economy, I think that this club is really a cycle. This club has been around for awhile. I know that there are older users on this club, but who's to say that this club hasn't had a downfall like this one in the past? Perhaps it's only a matter of time before things get right back on track.

Regardless, I'm keeping my expectations neutral. We cannot tell what is going to become of this club. Only time will tell.

"This too shall pass." And it will. Like when some of us have more time to kill.

It's been effectively dead for a while now, if you ask me. But every once in a while, there's a glimmer of life. Like the other day, when someone was asking actual insightful creative questions. And those questions, those moments are the reason I'm still here. And I think that they give us all reason to stay here.

However, that said, I spend much less time here than I used to for pretty much the exact reasons that you've described. I miss the way it used to be, and the only remedy I can think of is starting a new club. The issue with that would be that the stupid users (no offence to anyone) might end up following.

It's dead cause of how much stupid users are in it, even more than the smart ones, and thesmart ones ended up leaving, like one of my two best friends, r-pattz and Tamar20, I wish if r-pattz would come back not just to Random, but the whole site, she left it. It sadden me. And Tamar left this club cause of the stupidity, I'd like it if she would come back too, this club might get a little bit smart and fun. But glad that there are some cool users still here :) I agree, if some of the old users who left would come back, it might get a little bit better, who knows :\

Fuck this club, we have Tumblr.

I seriously don't know wtf you people are talking about. I barely found out about this club a few days ago. But right now I found an awesome poster.
