    so disappoint

  • About a week after launch day there will be be one person left then......

    No, it's not as simplistic as you imagine. And the point is to prevent hellbanning someone. So if they got kicked out of one thread they would still be able to interact with the forum at large, and if they got banned from one forum, they could still go into another forum.

    Just because someone is a jerk in one place doesn't mean that they are a jerk every place they go.

    These systems have worked fairly well in other forms (IRC chat rooms, gaming servers, some websites). So I'm going to try them in forums.

    1. It's not "your" thread anymore

    2. I've got ambivalent feelings about it, as it only spawned tones of sexist jokes (in some cases perhaps well deserved)

    3. To be blunt - you kinda sound desperate dredging it again and again. I'm pretty sure all the "cool single guys" within the core of the LFGSS community got the message already a year ago and if you want attention of total strangers hidden within the lurking masses than you have high odds of getting hurt both physically and mentally.
      Didn't want to be honest, but I feel it needed to be said.

    Number 3 sounds like a threat....

    I dont see why certain people have a problem with this thread ?
    Whats wrong with a bit of LFGSS dating....

    ^This.
    TS will have us all sent out.

  • ^^ I don't think it is, it's meant as 'kindly advice' but yes it can be read badly as already pointed out.

    There's everything wrong with it.

  • There's everything wrong with it.

    Why ?

  • It's a limited gene pool?

  • ok, seriously. What is wrong with hooking up with some guy or girl that happens to be a member of LFGSS ?

  • once went out with a girl who used to support the same football team as i did. In fact she was more of a fan than i was. relationship didnt last long......

  • Whats wrong with a bit of LFGSS dating....

    Nothing.
    Wuts wrong with a bit of LFGSS fun then?
    If you're starting a thread like this and can't take the banter, well, you're in the
    wrong place. If you've been around long enough you should have thicken
    your skin by now. This is the only reason I've been here for 4,5 years.
    Not because I can come and read about how fucking lovely it has been for Shoosh,
    dating forumengers. I know Shoosh, she's lovely. BUt why should she be treated differently? Go on any other thread and you'll read 100 times worst. Yet, not a word about it.
    I'm all up for the thread existing, but if it needs special treatment, 'cause it's started by a lady, and we're all fucking cunts, misogynist pricks, etc...
    Then fuck it. It's bullshit and should be shut.

    The thread is in part my fault.

    Mostly because it arose during some silly conversation that I know quite a few single women who are cool people and really smart, and they were discussing where the equivalent single men are in London.

    A quick glance at the demographics page (a couple of years out of date): http://www.lfgss.com/about

    Yup, they seem to be on here.

    The only problem is that a vocal minority also seem to hate women and engage in constant sexism and put-downs. I wouldn't really advise any of the women I know to come on here as most are super intelligent academic friends of my girlfriend and I personally would be very embarrassed to show them this world. In person they might like the guys, but it remains true that most of the people on here who are exceptionally cool offline are total jerks online.

    As to the general question, nowt wrong with dating anyone, and having something in common is a great starter-for-10. Though offline at beers and on rides is probably a way better place than online to work it out.

    Zero wrong.
    You're attitude towards other members is beyond wrong though.

  • Zero wrong.

    Does it have something to do with grammar nazis?

  • I need to write in broken English. I'm forren.
    Sounds more legit.

    What is your fucking problem !???

  • Why ?

    Because when it (inevitably) goes wonky, these things get aired online and there's an audience who all witness the demise of a relationship.

    That's what's wrong.

    What happened to people actually getting out and about and actually conversing with members of the opposite sex in the flesh.

  • None, what's yours?

    Honest answer. Thankyou.

  • cup of tea anyone?

  • @nn: Am I right, or am I right?

  • I'd like a biscuit.
