I have noticed a distinct change in the attitude of people around these forums. An immatruity and spamming tinge has left a sour taste in the mouth, but it never really struck me until today....................why??

Well, it was actually the fact that the notables all seem to hate this place now. When I came here, it was these guys that were the life and soul of the forums, and made me consider coming here more often, so I did, but recently the forums have been overrun by rubbish. There is far too much Spam and chat going on in topics people would like to be treated with respect. In the past people would post here, and have a laugh, but keep the mindless banter and insults to MSN or for e-mails, but now this forum seems to be a general chat sever, and it is losing the people that made this place special in the first place.

I know this post will be treated like every other regulars concerns and be brushed aside, but just stop to think for a second what it is you are doing here, and whether your chatter would be better kept for MSN or a proper chat server, if it could, then it would be much better to kep it there rather than clutter this forum with what is known as "SPAM". I don;t know if anyone will listen to this or not, and I;m not expecting miracles, but I know that Grix has become disillusioned and fed up with this forum, and that to me is a problem..............

I notice that Bonus - after starting one of the better conversations of recent days - has bogged off and left us to it.

Cretin.

Nothing is right or wrong, but something is crap and something is good. You can't fart and call it art.

That would be because the person doesn't understand truely what has been said, I would suppose.

But then:

"GBA games are cartiges. they are TINY"

"they cost MONEY"

We're really going wrong somewhere.

Ok, let's be Frank. Choose a Frank, and be him.

Newbies are the children of the forum, and supposedly the notables are the big harsh parents. Regulars = teenagers then, for descriptions sake. They can raise the children too.

So where the hell did we go wrong? Aren't we being strict enough? Perhaps we should send them to bed without supper, but they'll probably just order a pizza with their sky digital box set or something.

We've got to be more cruel. I'm fed up with being nice to idiots.

Well, it depends on the person I suppose, but some people may not appreciate it if we start 'our stuff' in their thread.

I mean - would you like me makeing a mess in *your* threads? ;-p

See? I'm doing it again, and Bonus may not like that, being the uptight Scottish... erm, I mean sensible lad that he is.

No offence, Bonus. No Bonus... please no... not... the haggis! Arrrgh!

I rest my case...

Oi, I always write funny stuff.

Just because others don't like it, means they don't have a sense of humour, and that's not my fault...
