I got admonished the other day by a member that claims I am not serious enough! I treat threads far too flippantly! WE, he said take accyweb far more seriously than it deserves to be treated by you.
Shock, horror thought I, not because I had, (yet again), been told by some upstart that accyweb is a serious site, but at the fact that people have now decided that accyweb IS, a serious site.
Oh, no it isn't,
accyweb was started as a bit of fun, a whimsy, a simple idea of people separated by perhaps miles to get together and have a bit of 'crack' together.
A few years ago I tried to explain this to a very nice guy that took it personally and thought I had meant he was being serious, fortunately he is still with us and thread wandering like a good 'un.
I look back over the really stupid threads that all the members would on an instant be prepared to join in with,
Staggeringmans, let's do one, a thread started about an imaginary bank robbery that everyone wanted to have a go at.
Or even my silly little thing about Robin Hood and his merry men,
They are all still out there hidden behind, people with half an idea about how to run the Country, 'their way'.
No wonder the talent to make us laugh has gone, we used to come on here to get away from the idiots of the world and now..... some fool has taught the idiots how to use computers, they seem to have taken over, no longer is it safe for Uncle Less to come on and teach the kiddies how to slice their wrists as they make Daddy a krimbo, card.
We now have health and safety Police and people that, (let's face it), would ignore a dying man in the street screaming about race relations!
even if it means losing a few members can we please get back to the sanity of what accyweb was developed for? The people amongst us that still have humour, if you want to talk politics find a political Site, if you want to be a world freak and talk global disaster there are sites for you as well.
I want the wingey's, Sparkologists, Cashman, Mez, Letties and Yes, good old 'rindy, the people that made accyweb, back on here, anyone else please join in the old spirit that it was, what the site is meant to be or develop your own, I want accyweb to be accyweb it used to do very nicely without being serious!
