i talk to jenn and grace from here absolutely loads but rarely on this forum' date=' because it clutters it and it's unnecessary 'cause we're both on msn.[/quote']

 

annie! we were mentioned! yay! :heart:

 

nah, today's the first day i'm back on coldplaying because i haven't found the time to log on and i don't think things have changed here a lot.

 

the lounge was quite a trashed place before. and i think it's unfair to blame the newbies. it's obvious that this forum's going to get more and more members as soon as coldplay release a new record, but it doesn't mean they're flooding the board with useless thread. i guess everybody's just got to adjust to new situations and you cannot say that "oldies" are the better users who never post any crap.

that's quite rude, actually.

 

 

 

thank you grace. :hug:

Hey, we "oldies" never post useless crap!:laugh3: It's not like we're SPAMMERS or something?!:P

SPAM, SPAM, SPAM, SPAM, SPAMITTY SPAM, SPAMITTY SPAM..

(one cannot help it - someone has to break the seriousness here..)

Anyhow, I concur with Jack as well. But the mods should do more to instruct the new members in the fine art of jujitsu..

^:laugh3: well good job lightening the mood :nice:

I wasn't exactly blaming new people for anything, I just said that it was weird to me because a lot of people I used to talk to aren't here anymore.

 

So don't take what I said the wrong way. :uhoh:

just get out of the lounge... but I think it's gonna go back to normal soon

:confused: Why were you laughing? That was not funny at all.

 

 

 

:(

 

Yeah, we are really sorry. Starting from now, I'll slow down my post rate. Don't worry peoples.

 

 

Why? No need to apologize rudy!

just get out of the lounge... but I think it's gonna go back to normal soon

 

 

 

You can,but i aint going nowhere.

I dunno.. I just feel guilty

For what exactly?

It has been a bit boring here lately, which is why I haven't been here.

ok, i've been here just for about a month, maybe im not the right person to post here, but i feel like saying something.

 

these late days it seems there's too many worry focused on what we want this to be, what's the point of the lounge, what's the point of every single thread here, who's a nice person, who's a spammer, what is spam, who should be fucked off (and sorry for the expression), what times are or were better...

 

oh come on, i think the good point here is that everyone can create a thread, maybe a thread about a topic, or maybe a thread for talking with the ones you like.. because, correct me if i'm wrong, the main point of the lounge is 'to have a natter', so why talking and joking has become a bad thing? if you wanna discuss the meaning of life and not joke about the size of your palm or about simple food, just make a threaad!

 

and i can't understand why do you blame izzy for starting a thread focused on a few people, because you can join anytime you want, i mean, i tried to join being an unknown person here and nobody has banned my presence in the thread, they just welcomed me in a lovely way, and im very happy with that!

 

maybe you just want a better lounge, but hating single threads, banning the way people acts and putting limits it's not the way! saying you'll leave this place until it's "better" it's not the way! stopping spam is a good idea, stopping this wonderful freedom is a bad idea.

 

coldplaying rocks my world, i don't want this kind of things to get worse.

 

just my word, have a nice day.

I didn't mean or hint that it was the new members who were causing these problems, because these name threads and conversation threads have been here for as long as I have, and that's quite a while.

 

I just personally think that The Lounge should be about real conversation, or cool things that everyone can talk about or be a part of. It's like, if I create a thread for people to put tshirts on their heads and act like ninjas, everyone can do it.

 

As much as these people don't mean to clutter the Lounge with their conversation threads, they do. Because there's so many groups formed on an online messageboard that they just tend to dominate certain threads and because of that the conversation goes a certain way. Once that happens, not everyone can reply and a lot of the time, if they do, their posts are just looked over in favour of someone else.

Well said. If you're not interested in a particular topic, thread, user, or spam, you can simply choose not to interact or participate.;)

That's what happens everywhere. It all comes down to choice. So stop whingeing or go elsewhere.:smug:

I don't remember once saying that I hate people who make threads for themselves, or people who make threads for groups of people to socialise in. I think these are great, and make the lounge more friendly.

 

What I do object to is when you get a few people who feel it essential to post in every single thread about absolutely nothing, or posting purely to get a negative reaction against themselves.

 

Half a year ago this never happened. But recently I can think of half a dozen members who have started doing this. Maybe they're new here, maybe they've been here a while. Thats irrelevant. Its when people are abusive, threatening, unfair or just generally annoying to everyone else on here.

 

Surely I'm not the only person who has noticed this, so I'm not trying to be a hero or anything, I'm just saying how I feel this place has changed, and how I don't feel part of it anymore. And I felt it necessary to defend my original post, seeing as how people have started taking it out of context.

How is that fucking whingeing?

 

Have you read any of this topic? Someone else was whingeing. I said if you're going to complain, do something to stop it if you feel it's a problem.

 

I said I'd try and do it myself and I created a couple of threads that were intended to be decent intellectual conversation.

 

Now I can't come here and make my opinion heard without being labelled someone who's complaining?

 

Seriously Mark for someone as prominent on this forum as you, I'd expect you were at least a bit useful.

Everything was fine until a certain person surfaced and started spouting negativity and hate.;)

I will leave the populous to draw their own conclusions.:rolleyes:

Bingo.

the saddest thing about this is seeing people who follow the 'certain person'...

As I said, it all comes down to opinions.

Balyack's just being a clown, so he doesn't really represent a problem as far as I'm concerned.

If others feel the need to complain about him, then it's their choice.;)

I think its gone beyond being a clown. Constantly swearing, accusing other members of being racist, being generally unpleasant and vile...

And this particular member feels the need to expand beyond the lounge as well, spamming the rest of the board. Its inappropriate and not welcomed on a public board.

jack, by the way, the threads you've started are great ideas :thumbsup:

I didn't mention him in this thread or on this subject once... I never said he was the problem. I never even mentioned his name. I even said that I didn't think it was necessarily new posters that were the problem at all. Can you even read?

 

If others feel the need to complain about him, then it's their choice.;)

 

 

Yeah, but 10 minutes ago you said:

So stop whingeing or go elsewhere.

 

How can you say that if they want to complain, they can, so soon after telling me to "stop whingeing or go elsewhere"?

For the record, I'm not blaming it on a certain person. I haven't regularly frequented this forum in a year or two, lol.
