    can anyone reach this site


    This does not relate to TCN even tangentially. This thread is for serious matters about TCN. Go post in the Matt Holck forum if you want to talk about your website.

    How the hell does that relate to TCN? Is it really too much trouble for you to pay attention to where you post?

    Not really serious, merely a suggestion, I just didn't want to pm you Sarky. I think the charter needs an updating. Just for lulz really. It's funny, but it's been there a while. Like a silleh update.

    I'm a little busy of late, but you make a good point. As soon as I have the time to spare, I'll see about updating the charter. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Sarky can you get those jokers over at AH to stop treating this serious & professional forum like a waste paper bin (thank you snarah for that metaphor, I give it back to you now)

    It probably won't happen. To stop them sending threads over I'd have to ban all the AH moderators, and I won't do that unless I am drunk or think it's really funny. Besides, they're just adjusting to TCN again, after years of ignoring it. I can't blame them, it was terrible for a while.

    They just have to realise the difference between something silly that deserves to be moved here, and something just crap that should be deleted or sent to the Recycle Bin. They're getting better at it, in fairness, so let's all cut the poor dears some slack.

    How's about a "prison" thread for those who get banned from tCN to plead their case...could be fun....obvious understanding is that in order to post in the thread, they can't post in any other thread or they get perma-banned from tCN....tasks could be set for the poster ...no other member can post in tcn prison thread cept moderators without incurring a ban....?

    tCN is a little like the remedial class at primary school - and it never used to be. It's getting better than it was but what's with all those degenerates coming from AH with their sh,it all over threads?

    It's not silly - it's just like were coming to the recycling bin and scavenging thru the dirt nobody else wanted.

    This... this isn't a bad idea. I'll have a think about it over the weekend.

    Don't knock the degenerates just yet. Before TCN, AH was where we all used to hang out, back in the days where every other thread wasn't actually about minorities or paedophiles. They deserve as much of a chance as you got.

    TCN certainly goes through lulls, but the general trend in quality is upwards. It certainly deserved the "remedial class" title when Tar and I arrived, but I think we're getting somewhere. We've seen the sh*tstorm of self-righteous, outraged stupidity that blows up over something as banal as the count to a million crap. There are several pages of outright character assassination of me somewhere in one of those old crappy chat threads because a clique got offended about TCN getting opened up.

    Personally, I'd much rather the lulls than a steady stream of godawful rubbish like it was 3 years ago. I'm busy with real life for another couple of months, so I haven't had time to devote to the silly. That will change, soon enough.

    I suppose I'm asking for a little patience. We'll get round to educating people about the difference between Silly and just plain stupid. But it takes time.

    Nooooo we had a spat with After Hours last year. Snyper said a mean thing about our beloved nest and a forum war began. We sent them our threads labelled "Get snyper to apologise to TCN".

    This resulted in:

    • Sarky banning their mods and Snyper from TCN
    • Me and Sarky gettig banned from After Hours
    • Them sending us all their threads (which is normally joyful but it got out of hand)
    • Admins got involved, I think
    • an AH mod started a campaign to get me perma-banned from AH

    Our campaign worked, and Snyper did apologise, but it got on the admins nerves. Long story short, nothing good ever comes from sending a thread to After Hours.

    Really? I thought they got pissed off. Or are you being sarcastic in a serious thread?

    Moving a Teddy post to AH while temporarily amusing, would only result in it getting moved back here. And AH mods moving MORE crappy threads here than they already do!
