::Hayley:: Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 Coldplay is starting to get more airplay and more popular. Therefore more people are going to check out the message boards. I agree :D 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. well SAID :shock: :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hicksy Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 i dont think anyone nasty has joined the board - i could count the amount of heated thread since it opened on about 2-3 fingers which is gr8 :D i agree in some way that the intimacy has been lost - but then that is unfortunatly innevitable and its just up to each individual to keep those he / she likes most close to them through regular contact i enjoy the variety of input and opinions from the new members, and while in some ways it doesn't feel as familiar as it used to - its still just as friendly so i cant complain i love you all *group hug* Si x :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busybeeburns Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 A small messageboard doesn't fit well with a growing site... its inevitable that this place will get bigger than it is now... and I will do my best to keep on top of things. I enjoy the new people who come here, I don't even mind the "Chris is dating ???? this week" threads that the other board seems to abhor. As it says at the top, this is a community and will remain so no matter how many members there are. If there's any trouble with such people as we see ruining the other place then rest assured that it will be dealt with as I see fit. I don't envisage anything that bad here anyway. And you are all great, you should all be proud of how friendly you've made this place :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sternly Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 I'm new here ........ and I've try to be nice and write as clear as posible. I agree with Mrs. Whats.......... when you were new here noone told you " We don't want new persons here"...... If you don't want me to post here, fine, I won't doit, but really it's not fair to have the community "open" and then when you post or somenthing the ppl here tell you " We don't want you". It's not my fault live here, where everything is a step back... I mean Coldplay cd was release here like 3 month later. It's not my fault live in the last place on earth. I always feel bad with myself because I was born when "good music" was over. I grow up listening on the radio pop music, wich I hate it, only at home I can listen good music, then no one make concerts here, half of the bands I like are dead and the other half probably will never come here...... I'm not as luck as some of you that live in the UK, Canada, USA, France, Germany, etc...... you have the opportunity to watch them, listen their music on the radio, etc....... So please..... could you give an opportunity - For been part of the Community - Coldplay is one of the few bands that makes me think music is not lost .............

Katharina Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 Just to set things straight - it's not as if I don't like all the newbies here... How could I say that - I don't even know you guys?! And of course everybody is welcome here and should enjoy him- or herself... It's just a pity it's so hard to keep up with all those new threads and posts and I'm a bit sorry about that. It's all too fast in my opinion. But I might get used to that later on... We'll see! 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarah** Posted January 13, 2003 Author Share Posted January 13, 2003 I really appreciate everyone's opinion. I am just going to expand on what I meant by this thread. First of all I don't hate any of the newbies, and I was once a newbie and might even still be considered a newbie by some. My point is that it was once a smaller community and not that it's such a bad thing that it's getting bigger, it's just a lot less personal now and off-topic. It's just I feel as if at one point everyone had something positive to contribute to this board and had something to say and now I feel as if people come on with nothing positive to contribute and especially people who only kinda like Coldplay (And I am not saying everyone that comes here has to be obsessed with Coldplay, just an appreciation for them) I hope that all the newbies keep posting and aren't afraid now because of this thread. And the absolute last thing I want is for this forum to turn into the official one. They could eat you alive. Basically after reading my previous poorly organized paragraph I want to say that all newbies are welcome and I don't hate them at all (for the most part ;)). It's just I feel most people are just making pointless posts or threads just to increase their post count. Off the top of my head the only person that comes to mind that posts a lot but always has something good to contribute is Ginger. And Maria I don't think you are a newbie at all. And I also want to say that I like how this thread didn't turn into an evil fighting thread and everyone made their point without bashing someone else which is very admirable. If some thread like this would happen in the official board it would become really nasty. Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
