This forum...

Hey Swabs, before asking other people to change, maybe you should start first. You constantly bad mouth everyone and you bitch at everything. You seem to have a "know it all" attitude. I've noticed this takes place a lot in the guitar players thread at least, so I don't know how you act in other threads. But you really should work on your attitude.
 
*sigh*

Yes I am a cynical bastard who is massively intolerant and finds fault with absolutely fucking everything, agreed.

BUT ON THE SUBJECT OF THIS THREAD I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPRESSING THESE VIEWS

For christ's sake I don't know if I've attained the reputation of "the bad guy" but why the fuck is that so diffucult to realise?
 
1 - see the tournament of awesome

More like the tournament of fail and unnecessary stickies, amirite? :lol:

I mean this place has virtually no rules.

Hahahahahaha, are you kidding me? If I want to say p*nis, I have to censor it for fear of getting banned. This must be the most strict forum in all UM, I bet no other is as heavily patroled as this one.

Well, to be honest, some of us are being severely watched why other have a "free trolling" card :lol:

No offense, Swabs, but cliques are going to happen, regardless of the forum (or even IRL). Fact of life.

If you feel the need to act introverted all the time, that's fine, but you can't fault people for joking around with others, forming small groups, and having fun. Humans, by nature, want be be part of a group, want to be part of a tight-knit community with others they can relate with. There's nothing wrong with that.

In summary: You're complaining over something that can't be helped.

Second summary: Don't complain.

Chemo for you, sir!

Having fun in a group and spamming every thread on CoBOT with your group are two different things.

Agreed.

06 is gonne, as 03 is too and as all the years that have passed. I personally find stupid and useless to keep complaining about it. What's wrong with CK and Bodomonkey getting along well with each other and some users doing the Sausagefest stuff? If you don't like it, there are plenty of other threads to see, I don't go into more than the 10% of the threads on the first page, I just go to the ones I like, and it works fine.

Also, this is not a normal band forum, it's a fucking off topic, where all the retarded stuff or completely off topic as the name says goes. There's no rule that says that this is ''more off topic or better off topic'' than that other thing, it's just a matter of going to the threads you like. If the regulars now just like Sausagefest and Describe The Person Above Yourself then go just to the Guitar Players Thread, the Own Pictures and those threads and wait until new users come that are more suitable for the things you want to do here. I don't think there's anything wrong, cos it's just people tastes, and there's no good taste or bad taste. The goat and that stuf might be annoying for you, but it might not be for others, so then tell me what is wrong. But tell me what IS wrong, not what you don't like.

LOL, except Guitarfag's thread, every other thread is getting raided by this bullshit! :lol:

Swabs, ive been a fan of most of your posts: I was wondering if I could have a signed print screen copy of your 6,000 post plz.

wut? :lol:
 
1 - see the tournament of awesome
2 - Grow a pair
3 - Can't handle cliques on the internetz? Try real life.

Josh, you take this much too seriously.

By the way...

Oh for fucks sake Mick ¬¬

If you want my justification for complaining then here it is:

I enjoy coming here, I have done for over 2 years now. But if the place was shut down tomorrow I wouldn't be affected, I would think "oh that's a shame", but that's it. My life is not on this forum, but when I am here. I like to enjoy my time spent. So when something entirely unecessary starts to hinder that enjoyment and other peoples enjoyment. I complain about it, regardless of how "important" it is.
 
Nothing against you. I actually like you, its just the attitude. To be honest, things seem to be better now (minus everyone's complaining). Simply ignore things that bother you or add people to the "ignore" list if you resent that person so much. Are all the threads really plagued with shit that is "hindering your enjoyment"? That isn't anyones fault but yours.

Sometimes I wonder if you guys really know what you want. You ask for better moderation, get it and STILL complain. You guys use to have less strict moderation and complained that there was too much shit in each thread.
 
^ Dude just go back through some of my posts in this thread.


I'm going to sleep.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!


I cant believe this coming from you! :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
All I'm saying is that I've seen this place being a lot better than it is now. And I think I (and others) can see the reason why.

Swabs. Chill. You've been here since 2006. I've been here since fucking 2001. I've seen this place change a lot, and much more than you did. You know what? Changes fucking happen, people come and go. You can't do shit about it except try to have fun regardless.

Do you find someone pathetic? Why care? He won't change for someone posting from another fucking country. Did you see someone posting something you don't agree with? State your opinion. Have fun with it. Do you see someone trolling or attacking an innocent? 1) Defend the innocent, 2) flame the offensive, abusive and/or senseless bastard (you gotta have SOME fun!), 3) report the post.

It's not that you're criticizing something that's not wrong. And you have the absolute sole right to come here and write about whatever makes you unhappy about this forum. It's just that you won't change a bunch of people at once, much less via an off-topic internet forum about a heavy metal band.

Changes of the nature that you're looking for takes time. But the good news is that at least now people are being more civil. We have a good mod now who's not a cynic just waving the banhammer around and hitting whoever pisses him off, just to show his authority. The mods actually banned some people that REALLY needed to be banned. And people are getting the message.

But changes take time. People learn, and people come and go.

I'm not trying to play the veteran here. But really, just chill. And be a part of making the forum better everyday. It's what you can do.

A good post.

On a side note, Swabs, I really was not trying to "start shit", as you put it. If it seemed like it, I apologize. But it really does seem to me, that you are overreacting big-time, and trying to shove this down people's throats.
 
Ok, firstly I want to state a few things. ^^

1. Regardless to whether you like me or not, I really like you all. Everyone here is great. I seriously wouldn't have it any other way.

2. For those of you who are annoyed of my behaviour here, I am very truely sorry, I was just trying to keep this place from being dead or boring. I'm assuming I didn't quite take the best approach at this.

3. Though I wish people wouldn't argue, there isn't really much I can do about it. Everyone's opinions is VERY important though, no matter how they state it, (immaturely or not.) I appreciate everyone's thoughts on everything, it helps me understand more about one another and myself as well in a third person perspective. I greatly appreciate it.

4. The clique thing. If I'm guilty of this, I am very sorry. I don't really mean to treat anyone differently, I am open to being friends with literally anyone. I wish to be better friends with you all; however, it may be hard to relate with some people compared to others, but I really do want to try!

5. I agree though on some things people say about me, I think I may need to change at least a little bit. Everyone can improve themselves anyways! No one is perfect, even myself! I am far from perfect! :lol:

Anyways, I think that's all I have to say. I can't side with anyone, cause I love you all. ^^
