This is beginning to really annoy me.

"What is?", I hear you ask.

I'll tell you what annoys me about this Forum. All the bloody members who say "I'm leaving for good", or "I can't be bothered with this board anymore". Then the members DON'T actually leave!!! :angry: Why?? Personally I think they lack the "cojones" to actually leave but would rather stamp their feet like toddlers and then wait until someone pays them some attention. Adthomp and Funky Capricorn/MusicWorld are just 2 examples that spring to mind (I'm positive there are others though). If you're going to leave just go and stop posting. That's all there is to it. Personally I think that the MOD's should do something about this because it's getting beyond a joke - it's happening almost everyday now!! I have had my say - thanks for listening. :D

I can't believe this aggravates you so much. Just ignore it, if you don't like it. People aren't gonna change it, so we just have to put up with it; c'est la vie.

It adds humour to the board in my opinion.

I do know what you mean to some extent. Once admin becomes aware of this, maybe they should delete one of the accounts then give the member a warning. At least that way, it won't encourage other people to do the same.

I hear what you are saying and it is a bit lame IMO,if i ever do decide to leave(and i have no plans for that) i would be gone,no drawing it all out and saying goodbye to everyone.

The two peeps you mentioned have both been called 'spammers' and seemed to enjoy it and play upto it alot but for what ever reasons have decided to leave.It is like they have made their own beds but now can't lie on them.

Having said all that it really isn't that much of a problem,we have loads of stuff to ignore on the board so just add it to your own list of topics to avoid.

Yup. I have seen FC leave and come back at least 3 or 4 times now. :P

and Adthomp...... :blink: :P

Enough of this so called joke. Stop trying to get attention with this and go help someone who is asking for help or just go already. No need to make an announcement about it. <_<

A bit of ruthless "pruning" of posts by the MOD&#39;s wouldn&#39;t go amiss either. Ignoring it would be easy, but it seems to cross topics and genres frequently. At least this has provoked some mature discussion&#33;&#33;

I&#39;m leaving now&#33;&#33; :lol: (joking, honest) :lol:

Thank you,kind sir.

But if we had an ignore button it would be like blocking out 5% of all posts on the forum for the two &#39;spammers&#39; soopaman mentioned.

At least they say "Goodbye" in the lounge.

This is a personal issue, and isnt a suggestion or problem with the website or forum, although the two are admittedly linked.

I think it only fair, that as they say "Goodbye" and "Hello, im back" in the lounge, then you take it up in the lounge....afterall, thats where the people are ;)




The other thing of course is washing our dirty laundry in public (in front of guests who have no idea what you are on about)....which this is and the lounge isnt :P

I can&#39;t believe this has been moved to the Lounge. I&#39;d considered posting this Topic in the Lounge originally but realised that it would turn into a childish flaming war. I feel that this topic IS relevant to the section in which I posted it:

"Talk here about things that concern this forum or our website."

I believe it says in the little box. My post concerned this Forum and it&#39;s members and the way some of them abuse this Forum. It&#39;s not a Lounge post - "Who likes food?" is. This should be moved back as soon as possible, if only to warn potential members that everything isn&#39;t what it seems and some people aren&#39;t who they say they are. :angry: :angry: :angry:

What we need is Love, And lots of good positive post&#39;s so peace will ride.
Life today is hard and it shows.
We all have so much to share but so little time to do it.
We all say things we don&#39;t mean, it just pops out.

I think Rat Faced has misunderstood this thread. It should not have been moved to the lounge.

Based on what his post says, I think he sees this thread as one of those "goodbye I&#39;m leaving" type threads. It is not. :angry:

I have got to agree there,this topic is about our forum and should have been left where the soopaman posted it.

But that is only my opinion,for what its worth.

But some of us do, depending on who it is. People don&#39;t just converse on the board - it sometimes goes further than that, i.e SS/mirc.

Ok im gonna have my say about this

When I PM a certain peron I told him the reason why I would like to leave and have a fresh start this person said ok make a new account so I did, however it didnt quiet work out 2 members woked out who I was in no time so it didnt matter I came back again

end of story

Well i know ppl say "its only the net, dont get so worked up over it", but when you have been a member for awhile and contributed to the forum with verifieds and helping where you can, then some "idiot" strolls in and critisises you, or says your talking crap, it can get a bit heated at times, i know ive been there. i also had a run in with 2 members (the older ones will know who), one was a complete spammer and i told him so, so he told me how to bring up my kids, cheeky bastard. the other one is a good member of this forum, and i apologise to both of them now, even though the spammer looks like he has retired for good.

I said i was leaving, but didnt say "hello im back" in the lounge, i wonder if that`s why im killing a lot of threads lately :P

seems a bit late to do it now though as i have been back for awhile.

Why the hell would someone want to come back as a new member anyway ?
So you could makes us beleive your someone your not ?

Tricking everyone your a 13 year old boy has allready been done adthomp,
since you cant figure out how to yet ask scriblec.

Sounds really pointless in my opinion.

This is exactly the reason I DIDN&#39;T originally post this Topic in the Lounge&#33;&#33; It was meant to be a serious, or at least semi-serious, discussion about this Board and its abuse by members. I can see some members have reduced it to the level of a school playground&#33;&#33; :angry:

Adam, if you&#39;re sick of people thinking you hate Rap (or whatever) you shouldn&#39;t have posted your ill-informed opinion several hundred times&#33;&#33;&#33; As for people guessing your new identity, it was blatantly obvious who it was - one of the only persons on the Board that can&#39;t spell their own name correctly&#33;&#33; :lol: Well, you and Nahan&#33;&#33; :P :lol: Don&#39;t English dictionaries exist in your respective countries??? :lol:

firstly Ive got the right to say what I want

and about my name spelt wrong it was ment to be like that I guess some people didnt get it :lol:

and soapman I havent said anything about rap since March but idiots keeps bringing it up all the time I wish people would just let it go I said I was making peace about it and I have stuck to my word also soapman with all respect u were one of the members that brought it up again

Yes my spelling sux also i should stop typing in the dark

I dont understand why people take it upon themselves to leave - why not just stay instead of running off ?&#33;&#33;

The more people here the better, i personally like to hear more peoples opinions.

If they&#39;ve gone, they&#39;ve gone, and if they were well respected members then I hope they come back, if not.....then does it really matter?

I also see no point in why they would come back under another name and pretend to be someone else. This is just as childish as running away in the first place.

Adam, there&#39;s really no need to have a temper tantrum. You are only reinforcing peoples opinions of you. Most of the time they are just pulling your chain but you constantly bite. Relax and don&#39;t take it so seriously. :lol: ;) :lol:

yeah guess im just provoking them even more

I just dont want people to say I spam becasue of certain music threads :lol:

but that isnt spam at all&#33;&#33;&#33;

Yes I do spam but my posts in musicworld are my most helpful or constructive posts.

If your gonna say I spam then dont say I spam becasue of history

anyone yesterday was an extremly bad day for me

My sister lost a baby

had people abusing me all day

MY CD player got fucked up

My fav footy team got beat becasue of cheating refs

I still got told I cant get ADSL


add on that to everything else u can see I had a shit day yesterday and wanted to piss off
