I personally believe the idea is completely pointless.

I’ve been signed up with the badgermaniac name for over 800 days, which is a lot longer than most of you ‘Regulars’, and in this time I have read a lot of the topics and replies that are posted this particular part of the forum. I must say guys, I’m not totally impressed.

The way you guys will probably see it is:
“Hmm SHEEPY has made a post on the life forum, I’ll go check it out” *reads it* “wow that was quite good! Now me being a regular who is scraping at the chance of being a notable, should really try my very hardest to make an interesting and impressive reply, thus making this notable respect me” and so forth…

But when you see that a JAT or newbie has a made a post I believe that more often than not you guys simply ignore it, or give it a once over not really thinking about what this person is saying. For all you know this guy could be the pope and you wouldn’t have a clue. Even if the guy posts “I am the friggin Pope you nutters!” You probably wouldn’t take any notice.

When the minority of you do actually post a reply to the post, it is usually a very effortless, “yeah, blah blah blah” reply.

SOME of you guys are like a stupid bull. You see red, you charge with anger and supreme pointless rage.

I am not referring to all of you crazy people, some of you lot make some pretty decent posts that make me think a lot, but I can never really be that bothered to reply.

The people that I am referring too will probably be in total disagreement with me, and most others will too, but this is just a very obvious pattern than I have noticed when reading through these forums.

Just out of interest. If you can't be bothered to reply to topics then why are you bothered that in future you may not be able to reply to topics.

I usually try to answer newbie as best as I can but when they say something that is clearly cretinous like "I am the figgin Pope", I give them the respect they duly deserve. That is to say, none.

That pope thing was not to be taken literraly, it was an example of how regulars ignore the content of a newbies post. Which ironicly you have helped me to proove.

Well it wasn't. Your fantastic notable friend made a stupid and usless post, which had no real meaning.

Hypocrits all of you, including me.
