Accyweb, what did it used to be like?
 
I was talking to someone earlier today, he was telling me how accyweb helped him through some bad times because it's members would laugh with him and cajole him through his period of whoa.

Can we do the same anymore? I for one don't think so, we used to have a sense of humour back then, use humour these days and boy, will the miserable souls let you know.

Does anyone else other than me miss the days when a joke was a joke, Major political problems would be discussed and then dismissed as not really worth falling out?

Could we please have less reasons for any of us to argue and go back to just being friends?

Yeah right, as if this will make any difference to the ones that have taken over!

The original accrington web only had about 4 or 5 members way back in 1998.. no arguments then :) Closed down due to lack of users after a year of trying.. I guess 98 was too early for accy :) I sold the domain in around 2002 as a business listing to a lcoal business man for 50 quid.

Internet Archive Wayback Machine

Current accyweb owned by roy is a thingy of its own success... get back to -6 members like 1998 and all will be well and a lot kless hassle for uncle roy hahaha... lets draw up a list of who to get rid of :)

I wasn't here in the early days, but understand that 'meets' were more frequent and well attended by the fewer members, who got to know each other's sense of humour.

The opportunity to observe body language is now the missing factor which causes humour to be misconstrued and misunderstood.

My feelings echo Marg P.'s last blog entry.

Which I hope isn't her actual last blog entry.

Meets will always be up and down. if people are free they may go, if not they wont. As long as a few people turn up and have fun then what's the problem?

The problem - you can't appreciate some subtle humour when it is written instead of spoken, and this causes misunderstandings sometimes.
If you have met the person who has written it you are more likely to visualise them saying it and can see their style.

How would the body lanuage bit work? Are we all gonna be doing a corprate style conference via web cam? Bring back the good old days please. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

i agree wi less, a lot of the humour n craic has gone,from when i first came on board, can't put me finger on the reason, yeh there is more miserable gits now n when i first joined n despite what some say, i know fer fact that is the reason some folk have gone. but suspect also that people do come n go from any site, fer differing reasons, some return some do not, thats life. but some people do get help still if there in the crap or a bit down i reckon.:) i still love a laugh n a bit of fun, some don't like it, well TOUGH.:D
