As a newbie here I appreciate that I may be sticking my neck out and talking a lot of crap but as I see it........it seems to me there does seem to be a definative lack of consultation/dialogue with the actual forum paricipants/contributors .
I guess this manifest itself in two main ways:-
1) Threads are locked without warning or consultation so people are not give the chance to challenge the decision or at least fire off a parting shot. This undermines the ethos of contributing into a community, I for one would be reluctant to post any jokes or humourous items after seeing how Italeo's contributions were treated.
2) Rules are being reviewd / changed without the forum users being involved in the change process resulting in changes being announced and implimented whether you like it or not, this again undermines any community ethos. Would it not be better to let people know upfront let them grumble and slowly appreciate the reality before making changes.
I guess the reality of the situation is that there is now two main types of users on the site, the newer chatroom users who are probably paying hard cash and have little knowledge of the history of the site, and the longer serving members who have over the years built the site up to what it is now as a community. Now the mangement have the task of trying to satisfy both user types, and as any sensible business should do, it needs to focus in increasing its service users and keep the majority of paying punters happy, possibly at the expense of the other users.
Couple guys in chat room were sniffing some white stuff stuff up a straw from a mirror, not sure the sort of stuff you want people doing on cam.
Think you should delete this after reading it
Prince2 foundation level and yeh its boring as hell
I love the lyrics of
"thethe" Infected album particularly heartland, so contempory
------------------------
HEARTLAND
Beneath the old iron bridges
Across the Victorian parks
And all the frightened people
Running home before dark
Past the Saturday morning cinema
That lies crumbling to the ground
And the piss stinking shopping centre
In the new side of town
I've come to smell the seasons change
And watch the city as the sun goes down again
Here comes another winter
Of long shadows and high hopes
Here comes another winter
Waitin' for Utopia
Waitin' for hell to freeze over
This is the land where nothing changes
The land of red buses and blue blooded babies
This is the place where pensioners are
And the hearts are being cut from the welfare state
Let the poor drink the milk
While the rich eat the honey
Let the bums count their blessings
While they count the money
So many people can't express what's on their minds
Nobody knows them, nobody ever will
Until their backs are broken, their dreams are stolen
And they can't get what they want
Then they're gonna get angry
Well, it ain't written in the papers
But it's written on the walls
The way this country's dividing to fall
So the cranes are moving on the skyline
Tryin' to knock down ... this town
But the stains on the heartland
Can never be removed
From this country that's sick, sad and confused
Here comes another winter
Of long shadows and high hopes
Here comes another winter
Waitin' for Utopia
Waitin' for hell to freeze over
The ammunition's been passed
And the Lord's been praised
But the wars on the televisions
Will never be explained
All the bankers gettin' sweaty
Beneath their white collars
As the pound in our pocket
Turns into a dollar
THIS IS THE 51st STATE OF THE U.S.A
THIS IS THE 51st STATE OF THE U.S.A
THIS IS THE 51st STATE OF THE U.S.A
THIS IS THE 51st STATE OF THE U.S.A
