lolz!

What's this Little Snitch is prompting me about? I haven't seen it before and now it happens every 5 mins.

Also, quote/multiquote fails me every now and then - just a screen about bad network connection.
Also constant double posting...

close this thread,
https://www.lfgss.com/thread24576.html

as it's outlived it's purpose (whatever that may have been), and is now just a chance for those with nothing better to do than stick the boot into situations which don't need their input.

Breeds a bullying "fight!fight!fight!" culture and signposts events/threads for people to egg on each other in the most prurient way possible, to get their own "funny" shit stirring digs in...

Only about 6 months too late Corny.

everyone's got to get there sometime will

I more or less agree with you though. It's become more and more self-fulfilling.
A bit like the rant threads where people write about what are really just minor annoyances but feel they have to fit in by ladling on the hyperbole, swear words and outrage.

Threads? actually only one rant thread, right?

They breed.

There should be more than one. One for real rants and one for mild bitching

Mild bitching pretty much covers the rest of the forum anyway.

Mild bitching is for over 40s only.

The real rant thread was closed.

The current rant thread has only ever been a mockery of the old one and owing to this has never contained anything of worth.

is that a rant or just a complaint?

Perhaps it's just a mild bitch and we shouldn't be paying too much attention to it.

^sexist

By the way if anyone is getting site blocked alerts on every page from sophos while browsing it's because sophos accidentally blocked the google analytics site which is included in pretty much any website you may care to visit.

it's been removed from the block list now but will take a little while for everyone to get the update.

leave everything the way it is...

You guys are acting like spoilt kids or mini-stalins...

Just because a couple of threads talk about bikes that may over lap, doesnt mean they need to be fucking merged...
Just because the rant thread is a place where more people chat, well whoop de do... Maybe thats a way to releave some of the fucking stress...

Jezus people, get a grip and stop whining - theres a thread for that

Chainbreaker, I care not where people rant, or how they rant.

I want this thread closed..

I wouldn't call Will "mild".

This is the whining thread.

Anyone else been getting an awful lot of site not found dialogues on forum pages? I thought it was maybe my ISP but LFGSS is the only site getting them and its been on and off for a week at least.

Maybe the forum genie is telling me to do something useful with my life instead of looking at bikes...

This is the whining thread.

This is the grasses thread.

Duly noted.

With Will, it's only the exterior.
Inside he has heart of gold. Old git.

That thread should never close.

Without the popcorn thread where else would people go to lay into some poor unsuspecting noob who is just trying to sell an overpriced piece of junk.

Without the popcorn thread people would be able to get stroppy without half the forum turning up to watch (and turn the screws a bit).

Without the popcorn thread many of the arguments on this forum would go unobserved.

If you close the thread all that will happen is people will tag popcorn instead so the rest of us can search and still turn up to watch the bloodletting. This might be beneficial as the stroppy ranters, argumental sods and daft price setters will know the crowds are coming to watch, point and laugh.
