Arguing with anon fags is not the tea in your 30s lol.
-Everyone old now and growing out of posting on forums
-Mods getting rid of people who speak their minds and who they don't agree with (the point to HAVING discussions, because not everyone will agree)
-The moment someone doesn't praise something Brandy did and voices it they're attacked
There are a lot of factors, but I would say these are the main ones...

This! I was consistently banned for about 3 years, for minor things. And what's odd is that I have constantly supported Brandy over the years. Some of the people who claim to really ride for her have never even seen her live.
Djdjdjdjjdjdjdi I never knew people were really getting banned post .... early 2010's :kii:
I hope Brandy releases new music soon or something. I do wish it was active like the 2010s but so many old members have left or moved on. Its nice to be able to chat with the same few people though so I don't mind.
bvvvv it would be fun to have more members but i like our lil crew vibe too
my bbys tbh 🥹

Yeah I don't think there's been many (if any) bannings in recent years
There was a shift on here after B7 dropped for sure
It's summer. I would hope everyone would be out enjoying life not arguing online all day.

I got perma banned so many times for no good reason.
My good sis The First Lady got perma banned too. He is not tech savvy and did not have other accounts. I tried to help him back here but he is too slow to get it.
Half of us are in our mid 30s now and don't have time to be on here like that. I was 22 or 23 when I first started posting here.

Hey Fruit cup! I actually was just recently banned. Nothing negative said at all, they just didn't like what I had to say

I just joined again in 2023, I was consistently banned up to maybe 2021. It was very odd, because I have also been know to support Brandy, I have posted videos and photos of me and her numerous times. However years ago, I was known as a Monica stan, and I was known to defend Monica at any cost.
I would come on here over the years and post once and each time I would be immediately banned. Based off of things I may have said 18 years ago lmao.
But for the original question, I think as the people on this board started to mature this board as a whole did not. With the majority of members being in their 30s and some early 40s the conversations should have shifted a bit. This board attracted a lot of RnB fans, and maybe would have good to have pivoted to a more general theme.
However all-in-all, this board has outlasted almost any other RnB Fan board, and there were a lot of them back in the day.

i disagree
im actually thankful to some members on here
when i moved to the south in my latter 20s, i was legit confused about all the racial TENSION i was feeling. and i expressed that on here.
and also other stuff like people being so fixated on color, and hair texture. it threw me off
i got dragged for being so naive, especially after my infamous "white lady on a plane " thread. sfsfbfsbsfbfbfsb
but im so grateful for those conversations. i needed them.
my grandparents, who raised me, never really discussed things like that. i mean my grandpa is a darker skinned man with icy blue eyes and my grandma is a lighter skinned woman....there was enough variety in my family for me to know that people are just different.
although i ALWAYS knew from my grandparents that "anti-blackness" (making fun of people JUST for being and looking Black) wasn't OK and always stood against up that - as one user in this very thread can attest to....(a very long time ago when i was admin, I reached out to them to ask them if they wanted me to take action against people who were making "jokes" about their skin color...and they said it was OK so i left it alone.)
but the NUANCES of racism and colorism, and even "texturism" were definitely lost on me. i had to learn why this stuff is actually a big deal. and it actually helped me develop more empathy for Black people who say things like "blackie" or "nappy headed", etc. as i learned they are victims themselves.
so i have to def push back on the idea that conversations didn't evolve on this board. we def went further and deeper than "who sold more?" or "who looks better?"
we've had some grown ass conversations on here. a lot of them got MESSY, but i can say i gained something from it.
but i agree BSource has certainly stood the test of time. my baby. they hated on the formula but for a GHan related board we kinda did that.
squid has done an AMAZING job as I knew he would - when i transferred the domain over to him permanently.
i'd even say he's better than i was an admin in certain aspects...especially his ability to remain neutral as possible.
Honestly this board is slow b/c Brandy's activity has been the same as well. She has these great moments pushing her legacy but it's all pretty sparse.
Plus rollouts and the excitement around her projects are built out pretty ehhhh which we always find something to nitpick on...
she's barely active on social media too, she not a fashion or an outside girl to at least have us chat about her looks and appearances, so yeah there's not really much to discuss outside of all the shoulda, coulda, wouldas she should've did
Glad she's still grindin and cementing her legacy though on her terms b/c she can choose to do absolutely nothing lol

!!! The Xmas album didn't really do much to bring back members.
People left forums for social media as well so its a lot of things.
We still have the same 20-30 people posting which is fine to me. Its a small community that will be here whenever she releases a new album.
I don't think anyone has been banned in a while unless you are just trolling or shading brandy to the point that its obvious you don't like her anymore. lol

I use Brandysource for a lot of conversations due to the forum being a smaller group. For more engagement, I head over to other media..
