Well i wouldnt say quality but ok i guess.

greenracer, my last piece of advice, this is the internets, no one ever wins an argument on it, if you take every comment here personally you'll not last long at all.

If there's an active thread which interests you, chip in, if not, fuck it off and ride your bike. Many others have done what you've done and have survived and become longstanding well known members here...

Just to put it into context, the forum has grown from under 500 members to over 25k in the space of three odd years, some stay, most leave, and it keeps on growing, your enthusiasm while genuine isn't exceptional. Most of the grouching on here isn't to stop people from joining or enjoying the forum, its just to curb some of the excesses of that enthusiasm. Which is where using the search comes in.

Like I said previously, there are thousands of threads here, which can be read and the information therein absorbed. It grates when new members feel that what they have to say or the question they desperately need to ask can be found through judicious use of the search function and a little persistence.

duly noted.

I think Greenracer's good value. However, Greenracer, you're not the first one to start out in this way. Just start fewer threads for a while and read more than you post, and you'll be fine. And +1 to everything Corny said.

How's the pony?

Probably dead? Im not sure never met it.

Shhhhhh ...

different pony.

OMG that is a very cute pony.

Why are you still posting in the mod thread?

Stop.

It.

Now.

Whats the point in a forum being set up for "the select few", thats boring. The whole point of a forum is to have new and older members to interact, share ideas, even if they dont like some ideas or views, which is inevitable it is still needed.

there is an interaction between older and newer members, you haven't taken to time to see that, you just came trundling along and posting shit then pronouncing there is a problem with the forum when people reacted (not even harshly).

might as well rename the url now - it's pretty much turned into it. fkn self-important OG keyboard warriors thinking that the amount of time they've wasted here actually means something.

Whats OG?

/stops before the noise police arrive

I don't think the problem is noobs as such. Its just when people fail to integrate and stick out like a sore thumb. Using the pub analogy sometimes people walk into a quiet little establish and just make a lot of noise. Even when it is politely suggested that they rein themselves in a bit they continue to be loud and yet fail to contribute to the atmosphere, instead just ruffling a few feathers.

Generally old hands know the score but even some of us have had our moments of causing a little disturbance or even coming in and deliberately antagonising the other regulars. On occasion people walk into the pub and completely fail to pick up on the tone and nuances, and even when the landlords rules and the regulars conventions are pointed out they continue unabated. This tends to happen with new arrivals more than the old hands.

Is it worth getting too excited about? Popcorn moments can be fun but there is a lot more to lfgss than that alone.

If on someone's page is says they have 19 posts in total but when you click on 'view all posts' it shows only 2, what does that mean? Have they just deleted the other 17?

Or they are posts in forums you ignore or can't see/are not allowed in.
