It was nice today to see a forum locked.
I for one have of late not posted purely down to some self righteous people that jump in on a whim and try to do as they always do, try ridicule and dominate!
I have no doubt in my mind these same people will respond to this post.
But in reality, you are effectively not only killing the forum, but putting people off posting.

Totally agree!!
I will hold my hands up and admit that I was involved in the locking of a recent thread. In my defence, I have never intentionally (or to my knowledge) slagged anyone off or made personal comments to offend anyone in the forums or chatrooms. I am not part of any 'cliques' and so I am hoping that you are not aiming the above comments at me.
I don't post anywhere near as much as I used to as there are certain individuals who intentionally try to rub people up the wrong way and twist their words. The forum is no longer a nice place to be because of this.
I have 3 children of my own, I don't need to spend time on here with children too!
I reckon that heading will draw the attention you are looking for no problem.
Another locked forum in the making I do believe.
I just passed my cycling proficiency.
Funlovers,
This thread is just a general observation and by no means singling out any individual.
Let's get the fun back into the Forum I say.

its on the spot
:thumbup:
I have to say I do keep looking at this thread and there are a few things that keep jumping out at me that make me laugh.
Self righteous, ridicule and putting people off posting - Those are just three things that describe this post more than any other I have read.
I think part of the problem (in some cases) is the longer people stay on a site the more they see at as theirs. Their sense of ownership and belonging grows, though of course the individual will never see it as that. You are not kidding me that the cliental on this site is that far from that on any other, the difference is your perception and possibly the amount of people using the site.
If it is so frustrating then why keep reading? If the only joy that can be had from a thread is that it has been closed then why post?
“In my view” no one is going to change how people are and how they interact with each other. Maybe if people can’t see a thread for what it is and things are so bad that a mere internet site is getting them riled then perhaps the only option is to leave?
Now I know that response is probably not going to be received too well so perhaps it should be put in the “jumping in on a whim category”.
Have a lovely day everyone!
I don't think people are put off writing in the forum.
it's just the forum posts are shit and no one has nothing good to say on them.
take the last couple of days.
it's been about someone getting a touchpad. blokes wanking on cam and "is a cock ring an alternative to viagra" rolleyes
Good post's people will come Ray. People will most definitely come.

One thing thats interesting to note is views to posts. The amount of views always far out weights the posts often ten fold or more. So the threads are apparently interesting as the views are always high yet people dont post. So no idea on that.
Intereting question. Do non registered surfers with no account at all notch up a view when they look at a thread?

if you did a post saying hello. with no one else writing. it still get loads of looks. it don't mean people are interested in it. just they are nosy smile
when someone looks at the same post more then once as well it class as a view.
it's like ebay I could sell something with no bids but 150 people looked at it. so that point not correct.
isn`t this just perfect pots n kettles lol

no not a vibrator you sick fucks!
thanks to my totally OCD mate i now have an HP Touchpad at £115 (1/4 of the normal price). he went to about 6 pc worlds last night till he located 2 in stock and then went back this morning to be first in the queue to get them at the liquidation price.
lovely bit of kit, as good as teh ipad i reckon, and almost free!
he said there was an angry mob at pc world at staples corner this morning as after all the hype pc world only had 150 units nationwide in stock. pr stunt probably.
well im happy anyway :-)

Great bargain, maybe it will assist you in your forum posts....yawn.

It means people are looking at the forum in general they will look in the threads as threads often vary off course from the original topic. If people are nosy then they are interested. In fact people are only ever nosy about things they are interested in. If 150 people look at your Ebay item then they were interested in it. They may not bid or buy but they were interested even if only slightly and the same goes for the forum. Also you cant sell an Ebay item with no bids as you state above, it has to have bids, so nuh lol
I would venture to suggest that if a thread has had 100 views the ten contributors could have each viewed it 10 times.

The internet badly requires a 'so nuh' emote :twisted:

At the time of writting this thread had 19 posts (not including this one) and 11 contributors. Ive forggoten the view count but its over 300. When I divided the view count by the amount of contributors the contributors would have had to have visited 36 times each to make up views alone. Safe to say others are looking though would think its also safe to say its probably 90% previous/present forum users and a few nosers lol
hmm what would a so nuh emoticon look like then confused??:

Roflmfao.
I wasn't aware there's an entrance exam, before you can qualify to post?
And well spotted, about my error, I obviously meant ' thread' or was it ' thred' ...
Now I have no desire to get into a debacle with anyone, nor will I be drawn into one, that would defeat the purpose of the thread.
