"My view on this forum"

Well recently, as many of you know, I have decided to leave this forum. Well I have been in this forum longer than most and it is a bit up-setting to leave. I pumped some life into this forum last summer, doing what I could to help newbies.

Things change, and in my opinin, this forum has changed. I see arguments, I see shouting and I see match after match after match. I see little WWF talk!

On the subject of these matches, I am not putting down the forum's hard work that goes into these matches, I am merely stating that there is to many. The forum is bombarding them. I used to read matches when they were few, but now there is too many. A while ago we had a KOTR, KOTR tag and a Royal Rumble tournament. I ran them and got forum members to participate. I remember Jet winning the KOTR tag, Khazar winng the Rumble, I forget who wins the KOTR singles, but anyway, this was good. A nice match for everyone to read, once a week or two. It's all too much now.

Newbie's. Alot of people are telling me that nowadays the newbie's are ruining the forum. Well yes maybe they are being silly. But have you though of helping, have you thought of inviting them to write matches. What about the Newbie/Regular tag idea that I had ages ago- Im sure Jet, Andy and Kid rock remember that. Now they are possibly some of my best mates on the forums. You could make new friends too. They need your help, they don't know how this forum works, help them become good posting regulars. Shouting and moaning doesn't help. and if they are not prepared to listen- report this post. The newbie's shouldn't be the problem that you make out. When I say you- I mean the forum regulars. So do it for me, a little respect on my behalf- help the newbie's like I once
did. O, and I am not leaving because of newbie's.

I am leaving because I don't feel I fit in any more. There is little place for IB in the forum. IB doesn't want to hurt his eyes reading matches, IB wants to read creative WWF(or any wrestling releated) posts. So for now, goodbye, but I will be here, in a few weeks, round-about No Way out time, to see how the forum is. If it is a bit better, I will porbebly stay, if I feel welcome. For now though, feel free to moan, complain or what not about this post. I may be here tonight to read your views, as they are as valid as any other. Good bye folks, you have been good friends.

Well thats very annoying because Chris you have helped me become the perfect regular I am today :D Will you still be on the other Forums? If not ill still talk to you on MSN hopefully.

Well i have to agree with most of IB's points there. Well i will be sad to see you go IB but if thats what you want to do then so be.

I was thinking that today, the forum is full of matches, newbies join then make a CAW then make topics saying, THE FROG CHALENGES YOU TO A MATCH STONE COLD!!!! and its just annoying me, no one is chatting about the WWF, everyone was about 2 weeks ago.

You make some valid points IB and as one of the first people i encountered in here, I will be sad if you do decide to go. However, I do feel there is nothing we can do about the amount of matches, this is due to how big the whole thing has become. I also feel that leaving the forum won't solve anything. It seems apparently that for every three spammers who comes along a genuinely good poster leaves. Please stay and help us make things right.
