Thumped "boards is crap" thread/people who don't get Boards

tech77

OK probably been mentioned before but just saw this thread on Thumped- http://www.thumped.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=48620

Just reading it there and all i can think of is Vince Vaughn's rival news crew in Anchor Man.
A mixture of juvenile resentment, with everyone reassuring eachother how sh!t boards is, but a definite envy(?)/curiosity about Boards at the same time.

I know people who call Boards users anal- i never really understand this hatred tbh-
if nothing it's a useful website- and can be damn funny sometimes.

Anyone else know people who hate Boards- what's that about?

Bet you don't know why though.

I know a few folk that are afraid of boards.
Not understanding what they actually are, they have been led to believe that its all a bunch of weirdo's (Ok, thats me!) but its just lack of knowledge really.

I'd be lost without a number of boards. They have helped me out in so many, many ways.
Stress relief, technical help, helping me to stay sane, etc...

WTF is Thumped? And how dare they call us anal when they titled the tread "boards.ie is so flipping crap" Bloody D4 idiots!

Well that thread has quite the discussion - 43 pages....

Kiera

Someone reg and post a link to this thread. I'll give the stuck up fuckwits something to bitch about.....

Sharpshooter

Jeeze , they'd want to get out more, read a few pages and they are obsessed with bendy willys.
Are they all virgins over there or what.;)

How many Awards has Boards won again?

AckwelFoley

Boards.ie is anal?

*takes off kacks and grabs near empty jar of makeshift lube*

tech77

Actually meant to add that i read a fair few pages of that thread- i didn't laugh once. The whole thing reeked of irony tbh.

But fair enough.

If this turns into a 43 page discussion about thumped, lasting 20 months, this world is ****ed up

Nevyn

This happens from time to time, really it's best just to ignore them like the kid yelling I don't like you but then pisses it's self when you confront them.

Sharpshooter

"willi set up an account and call myself bendy willy?"

"don't show them this thread."

Do they think they are in a protected zone, don't they realise if they can see us , we can see them.

/now I sound like RTTHs.:rolleyes:

5starpool

Thumped? Never heard of them.

That an irish site?

TerrorFirmer

Never heard of it either. We can only assume it's a site for homosexual male victims of domestic violence, by the emphasis placed on bendy willys.

I love the guy who's going on about moderators on here having no lives and he himself has like 11,000 posts

If you don't mind me saying, that's a rather arrogant assumption to make. It might surprise a lot of people on here, but there are loads of people simply who don't like the boards.ie experience. It's not really a question of envy, more a question of individual preference.

Some people don't like the way boards is organised.

Some people don't like the moderation.

Some people believe discussion is stifled by forum charters and rules and what not.

That's just the way sh1t is, what works for boards won't always work for other boards.

While it's childish for anyone to take the piss out of this site elsewhere, reactions like this:

are pretty playground-like in themselves.

In short, stupid gay board.

Thumped I always took to mean a sucker punch.

This is very true, I showed a few friends of mine Boards and every single one of them thought it was absolutely shite. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

Yeah but we're all fat overweight nerds, that stacks against us....

I know plenty of people who have been on both. I find a lot of thumped people are musos and just like to latch onto the 'boards is ****e' mantra without ever really knowing why. Thumped is music based really and I know and hang out with a good few people off it - would head off to festivals and the like with them but really the boards vs thumped thing is only real online. In reality nobody gives a sh*te, if they do, well that's their problem. And I mean that on both sides of the fence.

[edit] And I know I started a Thumped is ****e thread once so no point pointing that one out [/edit]

I think we should all reg with Thumped and just spam the shite out of the place....

krudler

Well they got the hardline modding correct, and that mod post about giving out about inward opening windows going off topic when the thread was about outward opening windows just proves it, anal of the highest order

Karl Hungus

Stormfront hates us too, you know what that means? Thumped is in bed with Stormfront.

Bunch of hatemongers.

Gordon

As has been pointed out by Thaed, there are a few boards that have threads relating to boards.ie. Many people don't like it, I think the main reason is due to the stricter modding, but as boards has grown more than all the sites I've seen complaining about boards, I think that's a good thing.

The amount of people we have banned makes it a no-brainer to understand that there are a lot of people out there that really don't like the site.

120_Minutes

Thumped is an indie music forum for music snobs, and snobs of the highest order. they are so up their own holes over there that they are literally able to brush their teeth from the rear. the bands they discuss have literally 5 fans, thats how underground and ****e those bands are, and if they get a 6th fan well, they're not so cool anymore.

I went on there a few years ago when i was part of the dublin music scene and i didnt recognise one single band they were discussing. not one. and i worked in the industry. so i quickly surmised that they had zero credibilty and deleted it from my bookmarks list. nice to see they havent changed much.

Thumped, hehehe...

I'm off to their Christmas party... I'm a member there, but not as Mairt!..

A 43 page thread that's run for over a year suggests otherwise.

Thumped has some pretty funny posters though. And some of the better ones post here.

themadchef

It all just seems a bit childish to me.


In fairness 43 pages of chat about boards is a funny, no such thing as bad publicity and the fact that they have to look to us to find something good to talk about is pretty sad.
