I dont mind people making new threads in the general forum ... as far as i'm concerned people can do what they want there unless it involves racist, sexist, or homophobic remarks.
outside of that it takes something pretty fucking special for me to get pissed off ... and i believe we had some of that.
a lot of people consider this place to be a family .. i dont.
I have some folks here i enjoy joking around with and i like the movie discussion outside of the general forums - but i'll drop this place like a bad habit the minute it doesn't feel right to me.
The last little while there's been a lot of what i feel personally to be a lot of negative energy.
If i'm pissed - I'll say what i have to say and that'll be the end of it - the ignore button works just fine. If people seem to think what's going on is acceptable behavior - then it's time to move on.
i dont agree with noob bashing .. i think it's pointless. i dont believe in mean spirited sniping as well.
i also dont care for smug over confidence from someone waltzing into a new place trying to tell everyone else how to run the forum they've spent years in. I hate eye rolling smileys...
i would think that if someone had so many problems with a place they'd turn around and leave - thats what i would do - and i've done it. I'm not an internet forum crusader looking to better the world one address at a time.
I would figure - hey - these guys are assholes and head off somewhere else.
not sure what your motivation is at this point.
if you're concerned about acting more human ... you might want to drop the Pope routine ... and the eye rolling smileys in every reply to things you dont like.
you dont like your threads derailed in general ? gee whiz .. that's just terrible .. it happens all the time. sure a couple of people seem to be bothered by it - but most dont - and everyone who's been here more than a couple of weeks lives with it and usually has fun with it.
i know you think you've figured out the culture of the place in the valuable time you've spent here .. but maybe there are some positive things that have been going on here for a longer time than you've been a participant.
i'm not about to get involved in a war with this .. it;'s just my 2 cents.
i'm getting a real deva vu feeling lately ... which is too bad because i've really enjoyed that last few months since i returned - until lately.
i hope people chill .. i hope some others grow up or get out - and i hope others yet - learn how to relax and let the mods handle whats going on.
we all have the option to leave when this place stops being what we want

EXACTLY!...Thank you
