I think I was 5K 2 weeks ago. WW) is not far behind me.

My post count (and WWMans) may look high but actually they aren't. We have been around longer.

Richindub2 + Smoke me a kipper actually have more posts then us. (Might argue that Bard has too).

music to my ears

(or a visual orgasm, whichever suits better....:cool: )

to be honest relative, its that sort of attitude that kinda p1$$es me off. seriously.
i mean, what exactly would you have people do?
not have little stars?
these are the people who run the boards, they are the people who have put in the time, energy, and plenty of money to allow a community to come together and really talk $hite and have fun in one place. thats all this has ever been. a centre point for a certain community.
we generally all get along here, we tolerate the muppets, because usually we really dont care what they say.
but it is very annoying when people come in and start spouting out this rubbish about people.
if i met you on the street, and said for example, 'youre mother is a whore' i dont think youd be very impressed. well, youve just met us on the internet......

It seems that Death Sentence, Hobbes and richindub2 have the"mine is bigger then yours" mentality

rubbish. hobbes has the most posts here simply because he works from home and spends his life on the internet. and the fact that he has no friends as well probably
i havent seen that sort of attitude from the other guys either.
just becaseu you see one post from someone that you feels is unfair, or unjust, or is just plain stupid.. well, dont take it personally. everyone posts rubbish sometimes. try to get to know people from the average post the make, not just one stupid comment on the 'i like donkeys' forum.

They are back and There is deffo a Elitest even snobby attitude of some users at boards.ie
Its seems that maybe the more posts you have = more stars = the more important the contributor.
QUOTE]

rubbish. and anyway, who the hell cares how many stars you have. i mean do you seriously lay awake in your bed wishing for that extra star? if you want stars, go work in mcdonalds. i hear you get them for cleaning the toilets.
afiak, stars are realted to most count. nothing more nothing less.
so post 'lol' on ever joke on the humour forum and you'll start racken em up.

But is it quantity or quality?

neither.
either have a laugh or try and post something construstive.
sarcasm is fine, but when you are dealing with the peole who run the board (who dont understand sarcasm or irony i might add) its best to address any issues you have directly. dont be snide and pathetic about it.
and if you just want to post a load of rubbish and tripe, try the CS board.

the only rule is to use commen sense.
as devore said, have fun.

god i wish the pub was open at this time of the morning.....

do these "post counts" and "stars" scare you ?

>WHY?

I think I speak for everyone when I say "**** off" (work it out). Why do you post here? Only reason I see is to complain at how everyone else has more stars then you and a higher post count.

well boo fuking hoo.

Hang on while I tremble with fear. :rolleyes:

Hey you have more stars then me!! I'm telling Devore!!

Relative,

Do you do anything besides moan?
If you dont want people to respond like this, stop attacking/slagging some of this communities most respected members.

It comes across as if thats the only reason you joined to join us here...

and there is a name for that sort of behaviour...Muppetry.

What attitude would that be then?

the attitude you have come out with that you should be accepted as fully upstanding member of our community.

FROM WWM :i mean, what exactly would you have people do?
not have little stars?

---

Yes why not and if they must have them put them in their profile along with their post's number?

do the stars bother you. i only have 4. people who have been here a lot less than me with less posts an have 5 stars. hell, im gonna kick someone. get a grip....

Certain community. What's that?

well, there you go then. do a little research. this started of as a quake board a long time ago. a lot of us are still here. being a newbie, i dont expect you to know that. what i expect is for you to say hi and get to know people......

I think it is you who is the Muppet ? - What rubbish?

I think an apology might be in order here?

why? its a hypothetical situation......
you obviously dont get out much

FROM WWM :if you want stars, go work in mcdonalds. i hear you get them for cleaning the toilets.

Another apology maybe

im apologise to mcdonalds unreservedly....

FROM WWM :stars are realted to most count. nothing more nothing less.

Well consider putting them in the profile along with the post count?

If you have read this thread you might notice that I am the author and I think I have been constructive. I don't give a f..k about "stars & posts" but I am sure that some users are intimidated by "stars and the amout of 'posts' that occupy the left side of the "page"?
It just something I think boards.ie should consider?

hmmmmmm, i find it interesting then that you continue to make remarks about things that dont bother you....
i dont know, what is it about boards.ie you should consider?
im sure id *yawn* like to know.

WhiteWashMan you replied almost immediately to my previous post, please take a little longer in future and then you might give a more

please take a little longer to know the people you are talking about. if you are here in another 6 montyhs great, but the way you are going, you are going to be unpopular.
dont take it to heart. take a lesson from it.
yo uare not some leet haxor.
you are onlyu another alias that has yet to buy me a beer, and until then, in my book, you will remain a crap avatar.

just what are you on about?

When you do, read it carefully, save it, print it and send it to your friends cos it's gonna be good !!
So post now to this thread and have your say in a little piece of history.




Ode to
You get trampled by cows
Shot by guns
Impaled on a flagpole
that can't be much fun.
You've been attacked by Death
Shot by alien beams
Burned by lava
Luck isn't with you it seems.
You were microwaved
and fatally sacked
but always faithful,
you keep coming back.

Surrealist trolling? Impressive. A style I have not seen since early Kibo. Especially interesting is the vague intrigue attempted to be induced by the last statement before the poem. Bravo! *throws rose*

OK i'll elaborate on that so that i don't get a load of ye jumping down my throat as well.

Relative posts a nice light thread.. we've seen it before, its lacking in sense of humour, no big deal... its not very serious, hes just raising an issue up for discussion and thats what bulletin boards are for.

Heres a bit of a timeline

Whitewashman: to be honest relative, its that sort of attitude that kinda p1$$es me off.

maybe WWM misunderstood the thread or assumed it was another newbie troll and was overly hostile...

Relative replies to a condescending and unnecessarily hostile thread from Whitewashman and continues his discussion, mentioning

DeVore comes up with Ghandi..... this is hardly worth a ghandi. You have blown this thread way out of proportion DeVore...

Relative - I'll take that as POINT TAKEN? or Can I expect the WRATH OF THE BOARDS CLIQUE?

(wrath of the boards clique... heres where it starts)

Amp - Actually, I think I'll adopt you as my pet newbie. I like 'em feisty. Also I award you bonus points for use of bold consistently. But if you want to stay fresh you might want to deversify into italics.

This is a typical Amp post, and if you don't know him then its not a nice post to have directed at u. Its condescending and for someone who doesn't have a great sense of humour its a bit insulting

Astrofool - do these "post counts" and "stars" scare you ?

Hobbes - Please leave me out of your pleas of inadequacy.

Richindub: As has been said many times before, if you dont like it dont let the door hit your ass on the way to aol.com relative

After getting replies like this for no good reason, he has a right to be pissed off. He had a smiley after everyone of his posts. He was interested in the boards and posting a light conversational thread and he got this. So he replies as best he can... still with the smileys

and hobbes starts with the "well boo fuking hoo. " and then the pictures start.... jesus the more i read of this thread the more i see how right Relative was.

WTF is it with the negative, condescending attitude of Hobbes, Castor Troy, WWM, and Amp (Richindub and Astrofools hardly worth mentioning.) these ppl are the trolls in this thread. Why can't you just drop the attitude when you're dealing with ppl you don't know? are you ppl like this in real life? I'm assuming Monty and Stephen and ppl didn't read the thread, just the later comments because i wouldn't expect it from them. and i'm also think that DeVore was jumping to conclusions and being overhasty in judging relative.

fair enough if u don't like this guy because he comes across as a self-important gob****e, or that he has no sense of humour.. there are a lot of self-important gob****es on this board, its no excuse for the way this guy was treated.
