No, wait.
This forum is ALWAYS overrun by a bunch of mindless drooling imbiciles, hopping up and down trying to get noticed. But every three months, there is a period where it gets even worse.
All you have to do at these times is look at the forum list, and noticing the "FOG Chat" forum, you only have to glance at it, and you can almost smell the foul stench emanating from the fervent sputtering of loathsome and unscholared miscreants that lies within.
I personally think there is a great misconception about being a notable. The vast majority of untutored morons that litter these forums seem to be under the mistaken impression that the title of Notable is akin to "Lord", and comes complete with a stipendiary wage and a few hundred acres of land. Although I cannot say this with 100% certainty, I think it is safe to say that this is not the case. All you get for being a notable is a yellow name and abuse from people who want to be you. A far cry from the legends of fame and magnanimity that seems to be associated with it.
Perhaps some of you drones should take a step back and look at how stupid you make yourselves look. "Ooh, ooh, vote for me and I'll... ummm... do nothing other than gloat that I'm a notable". Magnificent. Perhaps some of you would favour a move into politics. With such a simple yet familiar manifesto, I'm doubtless that the Daily Mail would support you every step of the way to Downing Street.
Or maybe you'd just get laughed at as a simple and semi-intelligible babboon with a massively inflated sense of self-importance and tortuously hilarious delusions of grandeur. Worth taking the chance though eh?
Or perhaps you should all calm down, give those fingers a little rest and try exercising those under-utilised - and in some cases abandoned - pieces of human tissue commonly known as brains, and stop acting like a bunch of hapless and ill-mannered peons, destined for little else than a lifetime of Tesco shelf stacking and testing shampoo.

Uh...practise what you preach. If you find all the notablility-seeking people, all the FOG Chat members annoying...ignore what they post. By continually reading the material of people that you dislike, you only come across as stupid.

I'd like to think some of them can change...
But you could just ignore FOG Chat and post in the other forums instead, like everyone else.
Everyone else can just think you're annoying.
Which is pretty much where we are now, which means you don't need any more threads like this.
Fight! Fight against the dying of the light!
Some scribbles on paper will not stop a huge organization. And one man ranting again and again against a few dozen (in the Notable case) or hundred (in 'this place is rubbish' cases) will not change the board's main atmosphere.
You seem well suited to Life, as does say Sheepy. But when HE posts in Chat, it's normally about games, not how Chat is rubbish. And everybody likes Sheepy. See what I'm saying?
You post the same thing everytime, but the majority of the people who are causing all the crap don't read it, and if they did, do you think they'd give a toss?
