I've been reading a number of threads lately (Some that have been archived, some that have remained) and i've been noticing a similer occurance appearing again and again. I feel its got to the stage where by something should be said so i'll say it. I get the impression there are a few too many ego's floating about the place and its having a bit of a negative effect on the board, in particular with posters who maybe less established and have found this place accomodating but are often put off posting from too many people attemtping to take centre stage. I'm not aiming this at any particular person, its not something that has just 'suddenly happened', but it has increased quite a bit since the new year and i would like to take this moment to remind you all that this is a board for everyone and there should be a certain level of respect shared amongst many of you in consideration for other people using it. I find it disapointing to come on and read pm's complaining about individuals behaviour or attitude, when in the main, i think its a pretty mature environment on here. Sure, people prat about, have a laugh/piss take, a bit of banter or whatever and thats fine by me...as long as it doesn't become to OTT and it affects other members of the board, thats when i have to access things. We have some pretty established and recognised posters on here who are great for this forum and what they contribute to it. I think the problem is we are having a number of personality clashes on here though that are causing a negative effect. People don't have to get along necessarily but they should also consider that they are not bigger than the forum itself. The forum is only as good as what you put into it....so if you put 'crap' into it, you'll inevitably get 'crap' back as a result. Perhaps its time we all are reminded just to show a bit more consideration for everyone of our users in the future. Cheers Lee

I have to agree. I too find it disappointing when I have to read PM's from people who don't feel as if they can post on the board anymore because of people's behaviour on here.
This board is great, if it wasn't, we wouldn't all still be posting on it. It's provided people with not only people they regard as good online friends, but 'real life' friends too..and even relationships, which I regard as a really special thing.

Tbh I've found this too recently, and it's a shame, cos this place can be so much better than what it is currently.
A message board should be a place where anyone & everyone can join in & air views/opinions on whatever the subject is, a place to chill and have a laugh.
No one is bigger than the MB.
Except me

It's true there are those who like the sight of their own typing - I tend to turn the other cheek - but recognise that there are those that can't do the same
Doubt any of those this is directed at will change their ways, people will be people at the end of the day

Just bugs me if I reply to or start a decent thread and it gets lost off the front page because someone keeps posting on the counting thread. Silly really, but I can't bring myself to contribute to it and hasten it's demise! The Count to a Million thread annoys me, but it'll be over one day. Any new ones should be locked though! ;D Threads like that are silly...and pretty pointless...but if it keeps them happy!
