Sorry I don't.

:shrug:

naming any names? i haven't had much contact with them so i can't give my opinion...

Im sorry if i have done anything to upset you Sweety. *huggle* Things move so quickly around here, and its hard for me to keep up with you all sometimes, but you are a lovely bunch :)

i havnt found anything wrong with them yet but our big coldplaying family is extendin which i think is a good thing :D and i think ya'l r lovely including the newbies that iv talked to ;) xxx

well i dont have any problems with the newbies here! i think every one is cool on this board

i agree with ya there hunny. ( is ur name angela??? sorry bad memory) :roll: xxx

yeah its angela :) dont be sorry i have some troubles with reminding names aswell but i still remember yours tho :)

The newbies are all shy and only lurk, how can they be bad?

:lol: im glad i wasnt totally off there!! :D :roll:

Sorry I don't.

i remember making an entry about the new people on the board. Did you read it sarah? haha i think it was before christmas though, and since then there have been tons more new people :o

Take my word for it though if this board ends up like the other one with mega bitching and slagging off then there'll be pruning of the forums *and* the memberlist ;) :)

 

Gwyn threads or no Gywn threads :D

lol :lol: :lol:

i'd hate it if this board turned into the other one. the whole reason for me being here was because i didnt like the official one.

 

anyways...it's not that many new people here sarah. i mean yeah there are a lot new registered people, but only a few are posting everyday. i see about 5 or 6 new people who seem like they're gonna stay and be dedicated.

 

and again anyways...haha

who cares about the other board. coldplay should be dissapointed in them to be acting the way some of them do.

and now that they know about coldplaying 8) they should look at ours and the good example we make ourselves into :D

ginger i totally agree with you hun! i couldnt say it better!

i'd hate it if this board turned into the other one. the whole reason for me being here was because i didnt like the official one.

 

I'm glad you mentioned that point because the reason this board is here is because of the way the other board was turning out :)

OK, I don't wanna piss anybody off here, but unfortunately I don't like posting here that much anymore. It seems as if the whole board has been invaded. There are so many members now and all the intimacy has kinda disappeared. I'm sorry - that's just my opinion. So I'm with Sarah on that. It's just too anonymous for me... :?

I'm feeling like Kat and Sarah. :(

i'm just gonna say....yeah the closeness did kind of go away, but let time pass....you have to remember everyone but the moderators was a newbie once and everyone welcomed you and was nice to you.

Noooooooo!!!!!!! Everybody be happy!! You're sounding like the official board!! Am I a newbie? C'mon tell me who i piss off! Yeah lets all bitch!! :D

thats the last thing i want that this board will turn into the official one but i know thats not going to happen cos like i ve said i think all the ppl here are really cool

Sorry I don't.

:shrug:

 

having a bad day? :?

Okay...I'm probably the last person that should toss in her opinion...but I will anyway.

 

This whole "I don't like newbies" is utter garbage...I'm sorry I don't mean to be blunt, but it is. I'm sorry it's not the small community that it was before...however Coldplay is starting to get more airplay and more popular. Therefore more people are going to check out the message boards. I wasn't really into them until I heard "In My Place" and fell in love. So I decided to check out the "Official" board...they seemed pretty cool in there so I joined. I noticed that on that board there was a lot of coldplay haters joining up just to say junk about the band, which I find childish and stupid. Anyway it got to the point that when I started posting I was relatively ignored, because they had this newbie phobia. Everyday there was a new thread by someone who had been on the board since it started complaining about how there are so many new people and how horrible it is, and blah blah blah.

I have also been on other forums where newbies are welcomed with open arms and are almost immediately a part of the community.

 

I guess I just don't understand the whole hating of the newbie thing...I guess it sounds lame, but I love meeting new people, hearing thier experiences. This will sound even lamer, but I love it when a newbie comes along and will say something like "I just heard [insert video, song, whatever here] for the first time and it is sooooo amazing." It may be old news to me, however, I can remember feeling those same initial feelings way back "in the day."

 

Think of it this way....we all have one thing in common...a love for Coldplay...let's build on that.
