Re: Accyweb, what did it used to be like?
I don't think there are too many arguments on here. I LIKE the arguments, especially the hundred-and-odd post ones that arise out of something and nothing. Pure entertainment, in my view!
The problem is that some people take the arguments seriously. Why? If I have a right old scrap with someone on here about something, so what? Does it affect my relationship with my other half?...my health?...my job? Of course not, it has absolutely no bearing on my everyday life and I hardly give it a second thought, once I've gone off-line. The member formerly known as Kipax said something a few years ago that should be the motto of Accyweb: "It's just words on a computer screen...it's not real life." Words of wisdom, indeed! I can quite categorically say that I can have a heated argument with anyone on here and I'd be happy to have a laugh and a beer with them afterwards...as indeed, I did with my late friend, Ianto.W. For crying out loud, lighten up! :D :cool: |
Re: Accyweb, what did it used to be like?
I agree wholeheartedly with Wynonie. I don't see the debates as arguments when people are simply putting forward their points of view even if it does get very passionate. As long as it doesn't deteriorate into personal insults those threads can be brilliant and really attract my attention. Sometimes I may have a very strong point of view myself and nothing anyone says can persuade me otherwise. Other times somebody may say something which makes me look at tit in a different light and I may end up changing my mind.
One thing which I do find rather sad and pathetic is when someone pounces on another member who they have disagreed with in the past and drags up an old argument to illustrate why they couldn't possibly agree with them on something new. That is just plain silly. There are people I have wholeheartedly agreed with on one subject whilst fervently disagreeing with them on another topic. I may thoroughly disapprove of something one person proposes but that doesn't mean I dislike the person, only the suggestion. They may be nothing more than words on a computer screen but the express people's opinions and people's experiences. In some cases the internet may be the only human contact a person has if they are housebound. Perhaps it would be good to remember that there are real people behind the screen names, real people with feelings. I know we tend to have a laugh at the antics of some who get on a high horse about something and get it all out of proportion, or someone who comes along determined to insult everybody, or the would-be webmaster who asks for help and advice in setting up their own forum and then beggars off with all the ideas claiming them as their own. (no names, no hats) but that's just an echo of real life anyway. One thing I don't like and which I do feel spoils any forum, is when people bring their private lives and personal arguments onto the site and make it a forum issue. That has been the death knell for a couple of forums which I have previously enjoyed and which sadly no longer exist. One thing I miss on here is those photographic quiz things Acrylic Bob used to do. I find it difficult to do a quiz here now because of the lack of the edit feature so I can't go back to the original post and insert the answers. It just confuses people when they don't know which ones have been answered. Well it confuses me anyway. So I've kept my quizzes etc to other forums. |
Re: Accyweb, what did it used to be like?
Well, I like it here the way it is now.:mosher:
More people are joining every day- great. It may well have been more of a fun site when it began, but it still entertains and amuses me. perhaps I am easily amused - but since I am your resident 'Harbinger of Doom':rolleyes: that shows that the site is more fun than you think;) |
Re: Accyweb, what did it used to be like?
I've only been here 4 years so I don't remember the early AccyWeb. Didn't even know it existed until Busman found it when he was trying to find out about this weird place he was moving to.
When people go on about the old days' I wonder what I've missed. :( |
Re: Accyweb, what did it used to be like?
Well to be quite honest Accy Web plays a big part in my life, now that I can't get out the same, but like Wynonie I like a good debate and don't take anything serious, once I've logged off, yet there are some people who take verything to heart, my advice is lighten up:D:D:D
