Should the Admins clamp down...

...on pointless threads about bebo, etc. Really, why are so many people interested in showing off their crappy accounts? It just slows own the whole boards experiance when they're so many of these threads floating about.

I thought bebo was invented to keep the crap off here? TBH the recent bebo posts are more like adverts and I assume that people who used said site have the memory retention of a goldfish that they have to respond with the same questions despite covering them in eariler threads.

bebo related posts should really be in the blogs forum shouldn't it?

i was talking about the multiple posts popping up. that was your fault. they were your posts.

i always saw the rolleyes smilie as denoting cynicism and not sarcasm. i guess it works differently for others.
