"SHOULD I GIVE UP MY NOTABILITY?"

One of the whole points of having notables is that you recognise a small group of people who make the forums worth visiting. Indeed, it there was a larger number of notables then there would be no point in having them. More importantly, notables are (supposidly) respected, members of the room who post good topics...

Now, as most of you know, I've landed myself a gap year job working down South for 9 months. Not only will I not have much time to post (stupidly, we're paid in advance, allowing us to drink on the company before we start!), but I won't even have a computer initially. Even when I do, I'll be sharing the line with other gap year students, so won't be online much (and I doubt we'll get broadband). All this adds up to me not posting very often (perhaps a few times a month every so often)...

After that, I have my heart set on going around the world during that summer and doing loads in interesting stuff. It won't be until the end of summer when I go to Uni that I'll have a net connection and a laptop to post with...

So, should I stand down as a notbale? Personally I think I should, but seeing as it's you people who (mostly!) voted for me (points at people who didn't vote for me!) I thought I should put it to your opinions. Remember that even when I go to uni I won't have so much time for posting... as well as academics, there'll be drinking and a few other projects that I'm working on (details to follow next year!). Either way, I'll hardly be a notable member of the forums any more...

Your opinions please...

I don't reckon you should give it up ultimately, I don't see that it matters much either way though... some notables don't post much on here anyway, you do at the moment, you deserve the urine coloured name (in a good way I mean... :D)

Anyway, although we have notables, I don't see that many people give much more respect to the notables just because of the colour of their name (that'd be rascist or something... :D) but because in general when you read most posts by notables they are good posts. But if I saw a notable that I haven't seen any posts from before, I wouldn't give them any more respect than a normal regular.

As it's been said before, respect comes from what you post and do on the forums, not the colour of your name...

So keep it. If you give it up we'll have to endure even more crappy 'VOTE ME' topics for your replacement. PLEASE spare us that... THINK OF THE HUMANITY!

Stryke I didnt realise these forums were your life, so what if you dont find Sniper funny. He used to post regularily and he got voted in as notable, he must have been making some people happy so get your head out and smell the fresh air because your talking a load of crap.

No, it matters more. Because he annoys people, like me and Tilt. He writes senseless, crappy posts that can ruin threads and just because he was around since the "good old days" you think he's immune to the kind of treatment better posters than him get.

Ah, but Mystique, Sheepy and er-no spam, and they're three of the funniest people on the site.

Sniper isn't even funny. Waste of server space.

And anyone who thinks that anyone on here, including Sniper, doesn't deserve to be a notable, takes themselves far too seriously. Notability is nothing. Nothing. It's a way of showing to the forums here, that you add to the place, you make people smile. Sniper has made many people smile, and many people laugh. Sometimes at him, mostly with him. That's all that matters. And if you can't see that, I don't personally want you here.

These forums are a community, just a place for people to go. They should not be hostile on any form. If you want to be hostile, then I want nothing to do with you.

Seriously though, keep the notable crap, just stop writing topics in capitals.

I agree with Tiltawhirl. When was the last time you read an amazingly insightful post from Sniper? You keep your status, i see your posts almost daily in prime, and they do your gold name justice.

Nah, why don't you sod off. I don't like Sniper, deal with it.
