I did too in the early days. How gutted will people be if it snaps? The Count to a Million thread annoys me, but it'll be over one day. Any new ones should be locked though! ;D when it finally reaches a million? It annoys me a bit but ive posted on it

I think it's natural that threads go off topic. The threads where people just post smilies are just doing it to be annoying. I know but sometimes it starts off well and takes a completely different turn and theres about 9 pages filled with crap To be fair though, that is a reflection on life. Compare a thread to a normal face to face conversation, you could start off talking about McCoys crisps (and how great they are) and end up talking about washing powder.

Well said Lee, as always.
I totally agree, and it's really sad. I know if I was joining this board now, I'd not feel comfortable coming into this environment.
I'm one for honesty and free speech, but some people seem to see that as an excuse to be plain nasty, rude or insulting.
And I'm sure the old 'it's a messageboard' line will come out, and that's true, but it's still a community and we do still care about it.

I've been reading a number of threads lately (Some that have been archived, some that have remained) and i've been noticing a similer occurance appearing again and again.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 fair point well made...i'm probably guilty in part somewhere in my posting history so will take it on board...
