Incidentally, is "wing" going to be one of those words like "click" that you deliberately misspell, then tell us that's how you meant to spell it all along? ;) |

Re: Are registered members frightening?
What's really frightening is the amount of digs against established members, no clique, no Mafia, just people that post regularly.
Why do so many think that the majority on here should have to fit in with the minority of newcomers? If you're a newbie that posts something worthwhile you will get worthwhile replies. If you post rubbish that you demand is the, light the truth and all that should be, you will find you are not only alone in your existence but on site as well. Don't try to change regular posters, don't expect any sensible member to allow you to walk over us. Learn to alter the flow by being worthwhile to read not demanding everyone else should alter to your own narrow view, why should we be polite with the one's that come on to tell us we are all wrong and the site should immediately change to their point of view? :confused: We had a thread many years ago, we called the watchers ghosts, so far as I'm concerned I would rather have 10 ghost's that never post than one failed hippy that just complains because he/she/it can't get on with folk and goes out of his/her/it's way to post annoying threads. |

Why is it when they take over a thread (and you know who I mean without actually saying it) all the joy goes out of that thread and is replaced with nasty name calling and puerile arguments.
Could it be this is the reason we don't get as many people joining the site, perhaps we should rename the thread to " Which members frighten you and stop you joining the forum". These people are on my ignore list so I don't see their rantings, I just see the reaction they provoke, and the regulars who stay away from the site. Everyone is entitled to their opinion on this site, but not at the expense of others |

We can all start up threads about what interests us and talk about those subjects freely with others who are interested. There has been a rash of exchange about drugs fom certain members which I did make a few comments about initially but then, because I have nothing useful to add on the subject, have given it a wide berth and I think that quite a few others have done the same to avoid getting into a spiral of useless comments and personal insults which was leading nowhere fast. Luckily there are plenty of other interesting subjects to talk about and fun things to laugh about and in any case they'll soon get fed-up of banging on about their own little "rebellions" sooner or later. I have never used the ignore button - i 'd rather see someones opinion and then choose to ignore or disregard their comment afterwards...that's if I can be bothered to read some of it.:rolleyes::D |

Yes, I have not been here as much as I ordinarily would be. I found the drug threads and the acrimony they provoked really tiresome........and I didn't want to read all that stuff. I did try to avoid it, but found comments relating to these threads seeping into totally unrelated subjects. And to hear long term members who have been regular contributors called the 'three stooges'....in a way that is not only derogatory, but insulting too....well to put no fine point on it, it wasn't pleasant visiting the site...so I didn't. I accept that folk are entitled to their opninions and rightly so, but I don't want to find those opinions ranted about in every other post. And if that sounds petty it isn't meant to be. I just tell it like it appears to me...my own view. |

One was when we were hacked by some naughty Dutch hackers that put the site out of use for about 10 days while Roy repaired the corrupted files on the servers. The other time when we had a massive software upgrade. Both times caused a great deal of interest for the robotic spiders that come around gathering information. They must have thought it was a new site and called up their mates to gather all the information and posts in the archives. |

Now you may think that while the site wasn't up & running would mean mods weren't needed, but Roy had set a small page up telling folk what had happened and within about three days another member had generously built a temporary AccyWeb, so things could still continue.:alright: |

Check your dates, it isn't really important, but I have been a member since before the great crash of 2004 which meant everyone before that date now look like they started on the same day. Which is slightly longer than yourself. Yes it's a shame when members are no longer with us because of death. Now get on with posting. ;) |

I started this thread to get an explanation why we always had more guests online than members, it went fine until the drugs gang turned up trolling on this thread. The arrival of this group took the humour out of the postings, pushed the regulars off line, and I shouldnt be forced to abandone my thread because of the nasty posters. |

Oh ... I forgot ... there is a clique ... The Fellowship of The Hat:alright: Right now, it's only me (I know, Susie, it should be "I"; but that sounds two clumbsy) and DaveinGermany who are members. It's open to anyone who has been hammered in The Hat. And for the month of May, those who have driven by The Hat, or flown over it, are invited to apply for membership. Have a nice day, eh.;) |
Re: Are registered members frightening?
Crash of 2004! Yeah that seems to be a recurrent theme-- that was the same on a torrent site I was on :)
Yeah. Ernie's profile is still here. I was happy to see Admin had put his profile as "resting in peace" I think ern would like that Quote:

As to certain members bringing "drugs and acrimony" into lots of unrelated topics I have noticed that and i don't think it's petty to express your dislike. The only thing to do is to ignore it and carry on with the main discussion -I see Davemac's point of view too and understand that it is getting to him but just don't add fuel to their fire by replying or showing that it bugs you -that's the best way to treat kiddies having tantrums!:dummy: They'll get fed-up and go away when they don't get any attention(hopefully). |

I had posted a thread about it at the time. Gremlin knew Ernie personally and didn't know he had died. :(

Re: Are registered members frightening?
So to get back on thread subject, are registered members frightening off the guests from joining, or as has been suggested certain factions are intimidating new members and by default, potential new members.
|
Re: Are registered members frightening?

Re: Are registered members frightening?
It is only my opinion, but the answer from me would have to be 'no'.
I'm pretty sure that many potential members sit on the sidelines watching the 'flow'.....surely they can make up their minds before they jump in....and the fact that many do jump in and post interesting stuff is a testament to this. We all know who the 'grumpy burgers' on the site are...it is a bit like a microcosm of real life...you meet people you like a bit, you meet people you like a lot....you meet people you couldn't give a rusty nut for and then there are the rest....you take them in your stride. Anyone who isn't adult enough to be able to deal with it, needs to live a bit and come back when they feel they have developed enough coping strategies to let any perceived arrows go right over their heads. |

Could it just be that the guests are happy to be just that, guests? I have a few friends that regularly read but never post. Perhaps the people that join, come across the site find it interesting and jump straight in? Maybe some are put off? Maybe some are encouraged to join because of the way the members join together to discourage the idiots rather than allow them to take control? We seem to get the really strange ones turning up about once every three months, (or in my case daily), it's not often they come in pairs, we even have some members go out of their way to encourage the fools to post more, these members usually hide behind such terms as being fair or freedom of speech. |

There is nothing wrong with using your account from a different computer, but if you had been hacked and you were logged on in Italy* and at the same time the UK*, then something, somewhere, is wrong so checks are made. The above is only a brief outline of what happens, I won't go into further details, but you could learn more by googling of course. * Your computer in Italy could be logged on permanently (when you tick log me into this computer permanently) and the account in UK temporary this could explain being online in two places at once. :) |

I think the difference with real life and here is, if you were talking to someone in the street you would not expect to be interrupted by someone who just wants to give insults or dominate the conversation. Also you can choose to walk away and start a conversation with someone else, and if they followed you you would call the police The etiquette of real life is disappearing on here |

That is standard and most people will be asked that unless we know them personally or have asked before. You are only allowed 1 account, we have had members with 2 accounts in the past using the other account to wind up people etc. It also helps us ban spam users/bots who register again after being banned for advertising or whatever. |
