The can needs cleaning up big time, at the moment its a real mess with people who either cannot read or are just stupid. In what way is a request or a single hash a BIG SORTED LIST?

its a sordid mess, do you guys have any idea what a proper "in a can" listing looks like, I can tell you right now, it's a fucking mess. Not the fact that it's porn or any of that nonsense, perhaps if pete posted everything he had in one enormus post that would be classed as in a can. But it the moment it's crap. I'm not suprised your backing it FC maybe we could get you and pete your own private thread so you could spam that instead?

Here we go again, I think it is a mess, but here is another unregistered person speaking his mind and putting down a member. I mean at LEAST FC joined and took the punishment knowing all who interact with him will know who he is. Join IPF so we can see what kind of posts you do and exactly what rules and suggestions you have a hard time foillowing, until then leave the smart as@ comments out. Stop hiding behind the unregistered title and show us what you got! SHOW US THE STUFF! Not the fluff. And once again I am on FC's side, dammit all, see what these no name posters are doing to me... :lol: :lol:

Very nice name here unreg'd, see this is a forum and I will post what I feel is forum related material at any time and no I do not have a problem with Guests, just guests who wet the bed, blame the hosts and so on. Join and be merry, stay unreg'd and be my sounding board. I mean if you have so much to offer us, to enlighten us and get us on the right track then join. If not watch, learn and listen, but with mouth shut. I have had it with you peeps, join or just visit, the reason most of us members joined was to interact, sure we all started as guests, but to get to a point of interacting and smarting off you should join, no one is going to lend much credence to you until then, specially me.

Nice Guest

How about some rules for the can... say 1 post per member... or get them ok'ed by the admin first... or both... or neither... or why don't I just go away.

11-26-2002, 07:49 PM
I don't think we're too interested in a lot of rules and don't require permission for posts :D

Some of us would just like to know if we are dealing with one geniuos/asshole or 8 of them ;) :lol:

Joining gives a little bit of weight to what you say because we know from the content of your past posts whether or not you know what you are talking about or are just wasting time. :)

Guest
11-26-2002, 07:57 PM
41 guests, 12 members 2 Anonymous Members

Lol... they are still there... anyway back to the point (and I wasn't the one that posted that one above by the way). The guests outnumber the members nearly 4 to 1. While some are already members that can't be bothered logging in, most of them are just casual browsers who may join, become members and post some great stuff. But if they make a post to test the water and get stamped they probably wont.

I personally don't care if you post as a guest to ask questions or help others. But if you are gonna start, join or try to end a discussion/argument based on your experience or opinion it can only help you and us to know if you are the same person or one of several.


I have learned to accept that I am an idiot and don't mind you all knowing it too :P

jetje
11-26-2002, 08:10 PM
I agree wit Tracydani (and a lot of other members like SD, i asume), it does matter if you have an idea who your talking too. As guest you maybe use different names in one and same discussion. Next discussion you join you maybe take another name? If your logged in as member, people do a little bit "know" you, from previous posts. That will count for discussions or verifieds...

Guest
11-26-2002, 08:11 PM
I agree about knowing its the same person but automatically attacking someone because they haven't yet joined seems like the act of a very arrogant person (in my opinion anyway - not that it counts does it?).

Guest

Sometimes I don't want to make a point based on who I am, or who you think I am. If its a good point it should stand for itself. I don't want people to agree or disagree with me because you like me or don't like me.

Guest
11-26-2002, 08:23 PM
I'm sure some people will agree with Sharedaddy because he is a regular and does some good posts (and he does) but not everyone wants that. Anyway, thats all I have to say.

@guest who wrote this Sometimes I don't want to make a point based on who I am, or who you think I am. If its a good point it should stand for itself. I don't want people to agree or disagree with me because you like me or don't like me. You see what can happen !!!!

Can understand that a bit, but you always take the advantage in the discussions that way. Don't know if that's fair. You know most of the registered users. We never knew who you are, but don't want to repeat myself. The only thing important is this is a discussion board all good comments are welcome. But you also see some guest are hiding theirselves behind being just a guest. They start insulting, demanding, misplacing post en so on. They only way to control/avoid that is you register.

Curious enough see in some post like for example, "where you from" guest replying. Why?? Next time they login who knows who they are, use they the same names? Maybe you signed in as guest and are also Pat MaGroin. Or maybe you wil sign inn next time as PisineCline?

You guys or girls as the case may be are making some valid points, although I stick with mine, some of you kind of missed my reason though. My reasoning is this, and it is simple. A guest is a guest is a guest. We have no idea if this guest is the same or different than the guest we started interacting with and I still stand by my argument that if you want your opinion heard and thought about, then join and stand behind it. I stand behind everyone of my posts, good, bad or indifferent, they have my name on it and I will take what ever gets served for it. Hopefully this is sinking in for you guys, joining does not hurt, not joining may hurt your argument, I mean if it were common practice and safe I would have joined this forum as myself, no nickname and stood behind each and every post. But as this forum is open to all that is not a good idea, so I joined with my nick, making my statements, posts and responses and hopefully helping people along the way. But doing so as ME only with a nickname. Do you follow me? Copy what I am faxing? Your nick could be TOAST, but once we have interacted with TOAST, it makes no difference what his name is on the outside to us it is TOAST and he will be treated and respected as TOAST, based upon his posts and interactions. As guest, unregistered or some made up non member name and leaving no tracks to review there is no substance or past to draw upon. I mean a guest posting a question is one thing, I mean we all have tried to help, but a guest jumping in and interacting on a string started and maintained by members is like a stranger at the dinner table. I don't know how else to explain it.

Well, I think in alot of these threads it's more like your grandmother sitting there, only with a Power Ranger halloween costume on or something. :D Another point, along the lines of Sharedaddy's argument, would be that alot of the members don't like other members. If you're being anonymous or if you're a guest and flaming someone or just pissing in my soup, how am I gonna know who to put in my Asshole list. :D

A few final (and I do mean final) points.

I started both these threads (so that makes you the dinner guest) in a section subtitled "Feel free to talk about anything and everything in this board. As long as it is related to our website or this forum.". It doesn't say anything about "but our member Sharedaddy insists you have to be a member to do so"

The original topic was meant to be a tongue-in-cheek reference to people who sit here as "anonymous". There is an excuse for being a member (mine was I couldn't be bothered logging in) but what is the excuse for being an "anonymous" member other than what I was hinting at. Even that was meant to be a joke.

I think you will find you attacked me first, not the other way around. That is the only reason I replied, and until you started trying to lay down the law, I think I was quite polite. I'm only arguing now, because, like you, I'm a stubborn bastard lol.

Now I really have said all I have to say (I am even starting to bore myself lol)... but feel free to argue with all the other guests if you like.

I will, freedom is running through my American veins. Starting strings means you are asking for input, I simply gave mine. And as I stated previously, just as EJ so equivokely wrote is that being a member, that is a known poster, we can and do flame eachother and or argue. Being a guest and taking the same stance irritates those, who like me beleive in order to flame and or want to take a stance you should join. Not joining while participating reminds me of the leechers I see trying to download my files without offering the same courtesy to me. Guest is simply that, a guest. I feel you should ask your questions and or try your hand at posting hashes, but c'mon join if you want to make this a habit, stop hiding and start interacting. But I do not run this site so have at it, just allow me to do the same.

Aren't anonymous member just members that have not logged in but haven't wiped their cookies?(serious question, don't really know)

As far as personal attacks, sometimes people take things way too seriously on the board. There always seems to be a few threads of people with their nose out of joint about some perceived insult. Everybody is guilty of it a little. I mean you see it from 4 and 5 star members, 2 post members, guests, members masquerading around like guests, porn stars masquerading around like guests, and even myself. So my personal recommendation to everyone is to take a time out, ingest some of your blood pressure medicine, and if you're still pissed when you come back, flame away.

Didn't you say something about playing devil's advocate? You log in, and I may very well take your side on this or any other topic. Otherwise, it's just a community thing. If it were Sharedaddy and another signed in member, I'd rationally choose sides; as it is.....well, you get the picture. Plus, he's american. That's gotta count for something, right? :) BTW, you know you made Sharedaddy a board god, right? :lol:

I just read this thread, and I cant help noticing the point made that the guest couldnt be bothered to log in.

I never have to log in, I come here and the board recognises me...I assume most other members are the same (El_jef logs in each time I know)

I wonder if this thread was started by a member that delibrately hadnt logged in and was just trying to get some debate on the subject going?

If not, then the very point that you dont have to 'log in' each time you visit the board devalues the only point he put forward for not actually joining..... just a thought.

Yes, the admin know you IP (or the spoofed/proxy one you give them) but it doesn't log me in. Probably my IE settings. I'm surprised so many people take this so seriously. If this forum did become members only it would be very dull indeed. Like the ALT rooms on Napster, it always attracts idiots, but they where always packed full and never dull. If you want members only use FTC or some other site, and you will realise its rubbish.

Rat Faced
11-30-2002, 03:44 PM
Who wants members only?

Your right, that would be dull.

What we dont want is Guests complaining and flaming US, when they havent got the guts to stand up and be counted themselves.

Hell the Guests put some of the best posts on here. But..right or wrong as our opinions may be, and we do not agree with each other in any field..we're all individuals, at least WE know who WE are arguing with.

How can you argue with a ghost that comes and goes as 3 or 4 individuals with the same name..opinions changing from post to post and sometimes very aggressive and sometimes passive? We'd have nervous breakdowns if we took contraversial guest post seriously....whereas I know Sharedaddy, FC, Flinger etc...even though i've never met them and probably never will.

I can quite happily argue with Sharedaddy (or any other member) about subjects we dont agree with, and compliment him on subjects we do agree with. I always know its the same person at the other end (unless someone in his household has got on, happened to me once), and can therefor gain a respect for his views irrespective of whether I agree with them.
