Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    I would definitely give thumbs up to sNarah and Orange2 posts- if I could. I think I (and this is my own distinction and I don't expect anyone to agree or care if they don't) Fun is something you have - silly is something you are. I don't think TCN was(is) meant to be fun although silliness can lead to fun. I might have fun playing games, or spending time chatting but fun is a result. Silly is more a state of being. After a night of silliness I might think "what fun I've had." There are several forums for fun. This is so far as I can see the only one for silly.The hard part of silly is everyone is silly to a greater or lesser degree as well as to the extent you are able to see silly in others.
    I really can't see why anyone would be afraid to post here. It isn't like some snippy scary thing can come leaping out of the web page and bite you. If you don't like what goes on I guess you should post somewhere you feel more comfortable or just let time pass - because things will change, so will the posters. (and in the end it won't matter one whit )

    I just know that I personally tried to start posting here and I didn't really feel welcome by some. I know of another poster who was new and felt the same thing as we spoke about it together.

    I don't mean to single you out Deki but just to comment on if you don't like what goes on go somewhere else, and thats what we did. But maybe another option would be to change a few things rather than suggest that to posters.

    I'm not meaning anything bad here, I just don't want to see the forum go in a wrong direction and I mean my suggestions here with the best intentions. I only posted here briefly, so I'm just giving my 2 cents on my experience. Just want the forum to be a good place, whether I post here or not.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 44,501 ✭✭✭✭Deki


    I didn't mean to upset you in any way Peach. I used to post here a lot and now not so much. It used to be a bunch of posters and I enjoyed the numbers and the silliness. Somehow it changed, Not so many and not as jumping as it was. Things change. I hope I never made you feel unwelcome Peach.
    I can understand that Sarky doesn't want the nest to be a copycat of other forums. I can also understand that chat threads can cause headaches and counting to a lot of people might be boring, although the very idea is pure silliness. He may ruffle feathers but he actually has good points and is a good mod.
    I don't know what started this latest reassessment - I think it doesn't really matter. I do know that all the rules in the world won't make people be someone they aren't . I think TCN is a little raw and lacks manners sometimes- sort of like the wild wild west?. I don't really think there is a problem to solve. I hope my words don't affront anyone.

    Am I technically a newbie? I have found it to be quite nice here, I like both the fun and silliness. Also I think I am getting the hang of it but I could be wrong.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,647 ✭✭✭✭Fago!


    I've seen you around here a few times (I think). I wouldn't call you a stranger tbh.

    It wasn't nearly as exciting as I had hoped. But took me away from my super interesting paper on the EU-Canada free trade agreement for a bit.

    I thought there was going to be a sort of welcome thread for newbies as a trial? Is that idea out the window now? :confused:

    If someone objects then we will deal with it then,but can't think why anyone would.

    I assumed that was what the "introduce yourself with a picture" kind of thread was for, and left you guys to it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,144 ✭✭✭✭Cicero


    I want to say "no **** Sherlock" in tCN without it getting auto edited by boards..:(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,647 ✭✭✭✭Fago!


    srs question, can we have the swear filter turned off in TCN?

    Either way it'd be cool for TCN to have the ability to curse.

    Probably can't be turned off for a single forum.

    Besides, being creative with your insults is more fun.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,647 ✭✭✭✭Fago!


    This is true. But still, I want something that the rest of the forums don't have :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,030 ✭✭✭✭Chuck Stone


    Lol, 'League of Bastards' (in the ban list - not y'all).

    Sindri behave yourself when you come back ya fecker.

    means people are forming their own private little groups that react negatively when an outsider tries to involve themselves in what the group considers their territory

    This is the Serious Thread.

    Any more silliness in this thread and bans will be handed out.

    Sarky should/could make one and have it as a sticky?
    (My post was serious though pointing out the crazy that had made it into the serious thread just to clarify)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,967 ✭✭✭✭Sarky


    Go ahead and start one, I'll sticky it.

    Done, I didn't really have an idea of what direction to go with it but it's there now and we'll see if anyone actually uses it!

    Better get it stickied before it becomes just another thread...probably needs one of Sarkys mess up this thread and I'll burst ya sort of warnings

    Being silly is difficult when everyone is offline. Where'd you all go?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,698 ✭✭✭✭Princess Peach


    I think the after hours mods need to get more acquainted with the charter and purpose of this forum. Most of the threads they send here are in no way silly.

    Example: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056714986

    How is that silly? I don't even think its funny.

    They seem to think this is just a forum for stupid. Thread should have been locked in After Hours, not dumped here without even a reason given.

    +1.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,967 ✭✭✭✭Sarky


    Any suggestions on dealing with occasions like that? Just lock those threads? Send them back? Edit every post? All of the above? Something else entirely?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,698 ✭✭✭✭Princess Peach


    Sending them back might work with a post saying it was sent to the wrong forum. I've seen that happen in other forums alright! Don't know if locking them here will stop it occurring.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 47,825 Mod ✭✭✭✭cyberwolf77


    Bounce them back with a polite rejection attached. Maybe someone will get the point eventually


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,852 ✭✭✭homer simpson


    Send them back locked, they'll soon get the hint.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,758 ✭✭✭✭TeddyTedson


    Every time they send something this way send two back. That will learn them:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,698 ✭✭✭✭Princess Peach


    Heeeeeere's another one. Again pointless and should have been closed in AH


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,614 ✭✭✭Toasty113


    It's been a long long while since I've been on here, but I've noticed that Deki is gone. Where did she go?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,967 ✭✭✭✭Sarky


    No idea. I think she closed her account for some reason. <shrug>
