Hello_you North Shore, Auckland New Zealand
Hey everyone, I been away for a long time and recently returned to say hi. I've notice an increase in anstiness scince I was last here.

And I've just been reading the "rules" whaich are obviously not followed at all and not policed, as evry thread that I've meandered my way through is full of obvious breaches.

Now, as far as I'm concerned, to a degree, a forum or chat room is created by it's paticipants and they kinda own it more than the site creater - to a degree.

Anyways, my question to you all is; do you want to have a forum that is full of nastiness (to the degree this one is) or would you rather it was more civil and pleasnter place?

Now, don't getr me wrong I'm not saying you should or shouldn't be one way or the other. I just want to know a lot of peoples opinion.

Now there's reasons to have it one way and reasons to have it the other. I'm just asking for personal preferance.

dunno wave

Definitely a more pleasant one? hav'nt been on for too long but i tend to agree with you, thank god you weren't here a week ago was not a pretty place to be, so lets hope that it can change and become a place where people can come and enjoy their time here, rather than everyone having a dig wave

Of course it was not you, looked back and you just reacted just as I did to circumstances if there was nothing to react too in the first place you would not have said anything, it all started with leggy bringing hate into the forum and it took on a life of its own.From what I could see you had just had enough of all the back biting you would be the last person I would blame.


What I do not like is if we answer a thread some times, we are ignored and by we I mean some it could be anyone outside the group that is pretty cruel.But that happens on all forums human nature.It would be wonderful if we could all get on we can cant we.?????????????????

I am indifferent to peoples opinions as they are just that...opinions, and I feel everyone is entitled to them. I feel it gets blown out of proportion at times due to misinterpretation which is to be expected in written text as we have no body language or voice recognition when deciphering them. I definetly think it is no place for personal attacks or vendettas. I am an argumentative sod, so I am always up for a good debate as long as it stays within the bounds of context and doesn't venture into nastiness.

I do think these forums are fun and informative most of the time and it has been a pleasure so far. grin

Hey Martia, thanks for the support. hug


I did read back over the threads this afternoon and think I notice what you mean by 'ignoring' ... I would like to think it was just coincidence and not deliberate.

Anyway I better shut up before I'm thrown out of Hello's good graces

Hello_you North Shore, Auckland New Zealand
Hey everyone, thanks for letting me know the mood. Kismat, I'm not gonna re-air things I've read but there was a lot I read that was...well not the sort of shit most people enjoy being subjected to.


Anyway perhaps it has settled down as suggested.


What I was gonna suggest is that if you don't like that sort of thing don't put up with it. \Report it and make sure something's done. See if you don't you agree with it by not doing something about it - you say hay I don't care that it's this way. But then I'm that kinda guy. Don't like something I'll do something about it. Even go to bat on someone else's behalf. I just wanted to make sure that people didn't actually want a bit of biffo. I'm sure there are a few who revel in it too.

Not out of my graces and you don't need to be carefull Abe, I just read your name a lot on the threads.
