Is this the calm before the storm?
 

Well, it seems to me that we have been going through a calm period, nobody signing on to accyweb just to put us straight, nobody being accused of racial hatred just because of some oblique slip of the tongue and nobody demanding a new regime to be set up in which all are equal and freedom of speech is paramount.

BUT, is this just the calm before the storm? when all the students etc that have just signed on at their new colleges are let loose on the www with their various important sociological assignments will we get yet another influx of self righteous people explaining how we have gone wrong?

I hope not, because I have enjoyed the past few weeks where instead of having to go over and over the same narrow view points just to explain to those that refuse to understand what accyweb is about, I have been able to dip my toes into the various subjects that the 'normal' contributor to accyweb has brought forward, I have even had time to allow my imagination to run riot and post a few more things in anything goes.

I do hope we are to be left alone but somehow, I doubt it.

:D

*starts singing*

Re: Is this the calm before the storm?
 

Blimey that was pretty intense profound and moving Less. :D

As for what the future holds I would ask the Oracle of the site, but cant find one. ;)

Re: Is this the calm before the storm?
 

Oh hek !! We're not getting boring and mundane are we Less ?

Re: Is this the calm before the storm?
 

He is missing all the agro and is feeling a bit lost. He is looking for something to get his teeth into at the mo and as there isnt anything as such he is having severe withdrawl symptoms. :eek:;):)

Re: Is this the calm before the storm?
 

Not in the slightest katex, if you really, really concentrate and read what I've said we have all been getting along in a grand fashion which is what I was applauding. :)

Nope not missing it, happy to come on and just attempt to be silly in anything goes rather than have to attempt justifying our existence to people that don't know us, BLISS!
:p

Re: Is this the calm before the storm?
 

Yes, Spuggie, think some truth in that ..:D although ...

What is a 'normal' contributor anyway ? I have analized his profile and my conclusion is that he could well be enjoying it at the moment 'cause he is the only extravagant contributor just now, so big fish in a little pond, whereby, previously lots of extravagant contributors, so he became a little fish in a big pond.

Think a couch session is required .. (no innuendos in reply please Less) ..:p:D

Re: Is this the calm before the storm?
 

i agree with less, its been very peaceful n enjoyable lately, missed one or two of the older members who aint been around lately,but thats about it, dont think its been boring and mundane,;)

Re: Is this the calm before the storm?
 

Me im a little angel dont cause no trouble at all, so less cant be talking about me .......... :D

Katex do you honestly think there'd be a couch big enough for Less? :D

Re: Is this the calm before the storm?
 

Haven't noticed a thing ... but then I've been at Oxtongue Lake, enjoying the last of the summer and looking at the fall colors.

Re: Is this the calm before the storm?
 

Well I thought id show myself a bit more as it had quietened down bet hey now im back owts possible hehehehe

Re: Is this the calm before the storm?
 

Left alone? We'd get so bored eventually Less. :D

Re: Is this the calm before the storm?
 

Aw, thanks Mate. Wasn't sure if I'd been missed or not. Then again, maybe it wasn't aimed at my absence as I'm only a 1 1/2 year old member (hmmm, wonder what that is in dog years)!:p

But seriously, I agree Less. In the short times I've checked into Accyweb over the past few weeks, it has been nice not to see all that ugliness. To see a thread for the first time already on page 37 makes it tough (thankfully sometimes eh?) to catch up!

It also really bugs me as I don't have time to review all the new threads and I do feel a loss at not "keeping in touch" with my Accy family!

The weather (see weather thread) has made getting ready for the cooler weather (ha, what is that) extra difficult!

Re: Is this the calm before the storm?
 

PS - My weather thread response is stuck up in feedback, suggestions etc. Wouldn't let me post in the Weather thread! Just in case anybody had looked!

Re: Is this the calm before the storm?
 

i think its wonderful peace & quite, with some interesting threads & some great replies.

Re: Is this the calm before the storm?
 

'Cept might be in trouble with Less, Mez, for my comments earlier, and no point applying for the position as offered in his thread 'Now don't go all daft'
:D:D

Re: Is this the calm before the storm?
 

I don't care if we are in the calm bit at the centre of a hurricane, I like it, and long may it last.

It's nice that the feeling of ugliness has ended.

Re: Is this the calm before the storm?
 

So you missed the in-fighting tonight?:eek:

Re: Is this the calm before the storm?
 

Was there really Bernie? Not sure where to look or if I'd even wish to. Okay, go ahead, where is the battle?

Sorry Willow I disagree that was developing into a slanging match IMO. Quite sad to see but there you go.

Re: Is this the calm before the storm?
 

there was no slanging match diference of opinion

Re: Is this the calm before the storm?
 

I can argue a point 'til the cows come home but I would never get "personal". It has happened to me and it's just silly and childish. If you can't put your argument across without getting nasty, you should put up and shut up.

Everyone who's posting at the moment is reasonable and sensible and respects the other point of view. Long live Debate but keep it amicable. Accyweb, I agree, is pleasant just now.

Re: Is this the calm before the storm?
 

I agree West Ender except for the "debates" where alcohol is obviously involved. I enjoy sitting back and watching the show these threads take. It is interesting that brother Rindy tends to be involved on the sober side in these "discussions." Great wit, discombobulated babble, iirational and somewhat senseless responses, etc. Warms the heart on a cold evening!:p

It's times like that in which I miss Chav the most!

Brian

Re: Is this the calm before the storm?
 

o.k. let's start a 'bring back chav1 thread', force him to contribute we shouldn't be left on our own! Give us our sicko back!:cool:

Re: Is this the calm before the storm?
 

Oh shut up will you woman..........


hee hee only joking :D;) just couldn't resist it :o

Re: Is this the calm before the storm?
 

Typical isn't it. Some cantakerous old geezer with a pussy suggests everything in the garden is rosy and everyone gets all mushy :rofl38::rofl38:

Re: Is this the calm before the storm?
 

I think it's all connected with the weather.

You'll notice here in Britain we never have riots or civil unrest in the winter, it's always in the summer months. People don't like to take to the streets when it's cold and wet.

Even though it's been a terrible summer, I think global warming must be to blame for the anti-social element's visit to Accy Web, earlier this year.

Re: Is this the calm before the storm?
 

I think the best way is to get one the Friends of Chav ladies to get him heavily pinted. At least we can then enjoy the show. Plus, might soften the old boy up toward us good folks of Accyweb!

Re: Is this the calm before the storm?
 

looks like Bullseyebarb has entered holy orders, and Billcat has run away to join the circus ;) ;) ;)

Re: Is this the calm before the storm?
 

Maybe Billcat is too busy planning the forthcoming nuptuals.

I remember a geography teacher (Miss Melody for anyone who was there at the time) who was of the opinion that people in warmer climes were more inclined to civil unrest. She blamed the heat having some effect on their brains! :D

Re: Is this the calm before the storm?
 

According to Terry Pratchett, Trolls' brains are affected by heat. The warmer they get the thicker they become but lock a Troll in a deep freezer overnight and you've got a potential Einstein.

Hhhhmmmmm!.........;)

Re: Is this the calm before the storm?
 

This bleedin heart thread remindes me of a song we used to sing at Infant School, "Me in my small corner ,and you in yours". If you can't stand the heat stay out of the kitchen.:D
