Not sure why I'm writing this. No one will probably read it as I'm just a "newbie" with a poo coloured name, but I'm going to post it anyway.

Basically, after spending a fair bit of time reading the forums this last weekend, I've to this conclusion:

You all need to relax more and stop taking this place so damn seriously.

It's only a bloody forum.

Why do you lot get so stressed about stuff. Does it *really* matter if the "XBox is gay"? Some people like it, so they bought one.

Some people don't so they haven't.

I know this is a DISCUSSION forum, so discuss. Why argue? What's the point? At the end of the day arguing solves nothing, but a good reasoned discussion can be etertaining, fun and good to read.

Things like "xbox sux, ur mum is fat" is completely pointless and no one wants to read it.

Relax, calm down, you'll enjoy this place a lot more. Believe me, I know ;-)

Anyway, that's about it.

I'm curious as to how many people have read this, so could you just reply with a "I read it", just so I know.

Cheers.

I think there are other ways of disecting the word 'Forum' but i think that'll do.

The very word itself can tell us a lot about this forum

Forum.

However, if we dissect the word, we find that it's made up of two parts,

for, meaning, for

and um, meaning 'I'll remember what I was going to say in a minute, hold on, it's on the tip 'o me tongue, oh b****r, no, it's gone now'.


I think that pretty much sums it up.

Ah, I see.

I just realised that I could have found that out by clicking the the NEWBIE under my name.

Sorry, I'll have a hunt around in future before asking questions that you've probably had to answer about 1,000 times before...

You get voted in. There's an election every 3 months.

Is the next one in May or June? Possibly one of those, if so things might get a little crazy around here with election threads and stuff.

Thankyou very much. That's a nice complement coming from a Notable.

But one question: How do you become Notable?
