well ?

Sarky · 13-10-2011 8:21pm

I'm thinking about it. If anyone asks about it again on this thread in the next month I'll ban them permanently.

Princess Peach · 14-10-2011 11:34pm

But there is also a lot of serious talk going on in non serious threads.

Is that bannable?

Star Lord · 15-10-2011 12:40am

It should be!!! :mad:

Sarky · 15-10-2011 1:54pm

I'm away from a proper computer right now, so I'm going to give you all a chance to delete all your mind-numbingly stupid posts from this thread.

I will ban everyone who fails or whined about it for a long time. There's a f*cking warning at the start of this thread, if you're too goddamn retarded to read it that's really not my problem.

Fago! · 15-10-2011 8:00pm

Sarky what's the story on the charter update?

Star Lord · 27-10-2011 8:47am

The chat thread and some of the crappy chatter that's posted is ruining the nest buzz IMHO.
It's not the AH dumping ground that the mods there are treating it like, dumping crappy posts here rather than deleting them, and moving the SILLEH threads here. It's also not the personal chatroom for a couple of users. That's what your visitor pages are for.

Storminateacup · 27-10-2011 11:13am

Yeah - I completely agree with what Damoeldiablo said, it's not a personal chatroom for users.
It's completely uncomfortable watching some users fawn and flirt and play footsie with each other on a public forum.
Jus' sayin. At least the mundane "chat all you like" rubbish is kept in the "chat all you like" thread.

Princess Peach · 27-10-2011 11:28am

This should be the only thread for mundane serious chat. Plenty of other forums that have serious chat threads, should be taken there. I use other forums when I want to talk about serious stuff, or have a chat. Used to come here for funny and silly stuff.

Storminateacup · 27-10-2011 11:33am

Avoid the thread then, perhaps?

This thread is for discussion of the forum/running of the forum, not chat.

Princess Peach · 27-10-2011 12:16pm

Tbh I've been avoiding the whole forum the last week or so. There's a weird atmosphere here, I don't really like it anymore.

hondasam · 27-10-2011 12:29pm

OMG stop whining, this is not the play ground. If you don't like something don't read it.
Chat thread is fine for a few posts but not a serious conversation.
Guilty as charged but ffs get over it. It's not at if there is 100 people a day in the nest.

Princess Peach · 27-10-2011 12:56pm

You see here we have come on this thread to make some costructive posts and we have been answered with agression and "get over it." Bitchy, angry atmosphere is what I've been feeling and tbh I don't really feel comfortable posting here anymore since anything I've said in the last day has just been answered in a mean way.

Not that I feel any of ye care though.

hondasam · 27-10-2011 1:44pm

Princess Peach let me put this in a polite way for you, I come on here, post ****e etc, If I offend someone i'm sorry but I thought the nest was relaxed and easy going.
You are making it out to be all about you and your feelings and while I don't want to hurt your or anything I cannot be responsible for how you feel either.
You are taking my funny comment to serious.

when you say WE are you talking about you and DamoElDiablo ?

Star Lord · 27-10-2011 1:57pm

TBH, the fun has been sucked from the forum by insipid posts, non funneh, and bitchyness.
I'm done for now.
See yis when it's gotten better again.

TeddyTedson · 28-10-2011 2:53am

Take it easy folks, no point getting pissed off with people on the internet.

Sarky, can't you get posts to show up on the main page?

Sarky · 28-10-2011 8:30am

Princess Peach has a point. There is an appalling amount of mundane rubbish and entitlement being posted lately, not just in the chat thread. I hate chat threads, because this is what they do to a forum. I haven't been around much lately either to slap people for not being silly. I guess I'd assumed that you could all be grown ups.

If those of you responsible haven't changed your ways after this weekend, I'll do something about it myself. I think we can all agree that my solution will be much more arbitrary, and much less fair, and that complaining about it after I've given everyone a chance to change things will be utterly pointless.

Regarding the posts not showing up on the main page, that's for the admins and tech guys to decide. I'll bring it up with them, but don't hold your breath.

Storminateacup · 28-10-2011 10:48am

To be fair Sarky, the entire forum is lacking silly. There's nothing fun, funny, insane, ect about copious amounts of threads posting photos of unfunny things. I mean -- right now as I write this, the only actual entertaining "TCN" thread is that one to allow teddy back into the nest.

I've posted in tcn (and was the first person to ever get immunity in the nest purely for being an idiot) since 2005 so I think I have a fair idea how it works(ed) it's just without the material and the posters, its kind of hard to do?

I am pure guilty of posting mundane rubbish in this forum - more specfically the chat thread -- but if Im completely honest - there really isn't that much else to do.

There's what, maybe 5 or 6 regular posters, and 2 of them just follow each other around flirting with each other, I post mundane rubbish, 1 makes random threads that nobody really cares about?

You'd want to be wrote off, high as a kite, not knowing left from right, to come to tcn and actually think it's fun. It's not.

And -- if that's the way tcn is going, that is, just posting unfunny pictures that some unemployed idiot with nothing better to do than photoshopping and writing stupid captions underneath, or couples using it to post their coupley photos on (there's a thread for that in The Ladies Lounge, FYI, princess.) ect, then it's not a forum I want to be part of.

TeddyTedson · 21-11-2011 12:35am

You can really see that video and text, right?

funky penguin · 21-11-2011 9:25am

Needs more Shab.

TeddyTedson · 21-11-2011 6:14pm

Jesus all that text is annoying. How long is it staying there for?

+1. For the n00bs.

Sarky · 17-01-2012 1:35am

You're quite right. I've been very busy with real life. I'll try and get something done before the end of the month.

Fago! · 17-01-2012 1:39am

Who the hell knows when that could be!

sNarah · 19-01-2012 12:01am

I know I only wallow in now and then, but there is way too little of the beloved silleh and far too much chitty-chat.

Sarky · 19-01-2012 12:05am

True. I'll have a wee crackdown on that crap, see how it goes.

sNarah · 19-01-2012 12:08am

Are you the only moderator left now Sarky?

Sarky · 19-01-2012 12:09am

I actually have no idea. Haven't heard from anyone else lately. In fact Dav has done more moddy stuff about TCN lately.

sNarah · 19-01-2012 12:12am

Tbh, you could do with a silleh-enforcer fellow mod. (no offense)
Tar is great and all but rarely ventures out the FlirTar.

Sarky · 20-01-2012 3:28pm

This is the Serious Thread. Non-serious posts will be deleted. I am sad that anyone needs to be reminded

good point, but I'm fairly sure you deleted at least one serious post there!

Can't you ask Mick D to be a mod here too, he posts here regularly enough now at this stage if you're too busy?

later12 · 21-01-2012 11:49am

What's the need for a serious thread?

The only similar one I can think of from the top of my head is in politics; and I'm not sure TCN has that kind of traffic.

It's a bit Buzz Killington isn't it. I don't think it creates a great vibe in here.

Sarky · 21-01-2012 12:04pm

It's a nod to the days of amp, sort of. Traffic was a little higher before the mouth-breathers moved in, and it made sense for one small corner of the forum to not be bathed in insanity. This particular thread is a relic from the days when Tar and I moved in, and the resident clique were whining a moderator actually enforcing silly instead of an endless stream of dreadfully boring retarded chat and counting threads.

They screamed Y U NO LISSEN WE ARE BEEN OPPRESSED YUO WORS THEN HITLOR

I set up a thread to hear them out and explain things. They mostly ignored or abused it, naturally. One doesn't pay attention to reality when one is throwing a stop.

It stays, in case such idiocy should happen again, and in case you lot have any serious questions or suggestions, and are for some reason afraid of PMing me like most other forums would expect you to.

Storminateacup · 21-01-2012 8:48pm

The retro serious thread was invented because amp banned oldyellar and i went whining around every other thread "but it's not faiiiiiiiiiir" and so the serious thread was born. And oldyellar came Back when I promised to type with capital letters at begining of sentences, full spellings and a bit of puntuation. It was the deal.

Some might say the serious thread learned me the Internet and valuable life skills (typing).

I miss the old tcn sarky. Any way of bringing it back?

Fago! · 21-01-2012 9:06pm

I'm trying, and so is he. Bring it back storm. I wasn't in the old TCN but I'm trying to bring in some silly.

Sarky · 21-01-2012 9:14pm

If I could bring it back on my own, I would. But it needs people like you guys avoiding reality, making nonsensical conversations, doing silly things. You're doing pretty well in that regard, so thank you. Convince others to do the same, and you will have your promised land.

OMG how about YOU grow up????? You arent silly OR funny?
Stop blaming her cos ITS not silly

You gave your life story.....

Storminateacup · 27-01-2012 8:28am

Chucken - Im warning you to back the fugg right off, you drunk useless dolemonger, get a job. Kthnx.

Lady Chuckles · 27-01-2012 11:05am

I'm silly. I would like to post around here

I have been reading this forum to and from with the hope of participating in silliness. However, I find it's very hard for new people (or at least for myself) to post as you are a very close-knit bunch of people. For instance, there's a lot of chatting that is hard to get into unless you're already "in with the crowd", aslo there are many threads dedicated to specific TCN posters (regulars) where you'd chat about them or with them or something... It's great, but also quite hard for newbies to get in on.

I feel this could turn into a long rant, but I have one last thing on my mind that I'd like to approach

In the "chat all you like"-thread, it seems there's a lot of sarcasm going on and from the look of it, it might have gotten to some. Unemployment can be a touchy subject and sarcasm isn't always nice...

It's just a thought. I don't mean to offend anyone. I just really thought now could be a good time to speak up

I'm new enough too, I just try to post silly in any thread I think I can, everybody is really nice around here.

Chucken - Adios

The nest is for silly. Everyone is new at some point. I don't see how you have a problem with this.

It was not sarcasm, it's not fair for you to judge when you are not familiar with the thread or the nest imo.
This is just your opinion unless you know something we don't.

It's just a thought. I don't mean to offend anyone. I just really thought now could be a good time to speak up

You failed here I think.

Lady Chuckles · 27-01-2012 12:12pm

I failed giving my view? Thanks.

hondasam · 27-01-2012 12:15pm

No your view is your opinion to which you are entitled but you failed in trying not to offend people.
I much prefer people to say what they think rather than sly digs, it's better to b upfront imo.

Lady Chuckles · 27-01-2012 12:17pm

What goddamn dig???

Storminateacup · 27-01-2012 12:38pm

Christ - Lady Chuckles. Are you coming to play or not? If you're going to post silly and be silly and make the rest of us be silly come onnnn and do it.

Right now -- not so much and y'all just know sarky will blow a fuse when he reads this. So, let's go, yeah?

TeddyTedson · 27-01-2012 1:36pm

Maybe an introduce yourself to the asylum would be a good idea for the newbies?!

cyberwolf77 · 27-01-2012 1:39pm

That is actually a good idea Teddy
