Let's be thankful for a good forum

[nick]

true aswell, lets hope it does stop but.....

:lol: I hate to say I told ya so. [quote:defff281d6]well, yeah i can see where you are coming from too.....there is alot of different peoples sides to this........[/quote:defff281d6]  

Sorry to Mitch, you were the only person to try & offer useful advice & help. I should off mentioned that in previous post.

[quote:defff281d6]This was supposed to be apost on congratualating the mods on the job there doing not to start the whole crap up again. [/quote:defff281d6]
Judging by your wording in the start I doubt that. Shouldn't of mentioned peoples views from the topic in question ah  :roll:

[quote:defff281d6]The list can obviously go on, but I feel most of our members had worked out what was going on here....It was unlike XXXXXXX's[/quote:defff281d6] What is XXXXXXX's post, pm me if you like. You could be assuming about the wrong post. I also believe that it is good news for one mod to see a negative post, especially when shoddy stand work is mentioned ;)

 Make your mind up, on what? One person got ripped off, one person should of known better, or both are to blame? Or all of above. It's none of our business, if the answer isn't clear cut. :roll:

[quote:defff281d6]Read the rebuttal on drumcrack[/quote:defff281d6]
As I have stated before gossip don't interest me no more, I don't read that site at all. A few of the boys can verify that, in fact checking my IP addy will prove it too. Last time I sat down & looked at that site was in Feb.
That is why I stated, these sort of posts should be deleted from the start or run by the mods to cheack. I don't care for, or want to read mud slinging. Then to have someone try & stand up for themselves...blah blah blah, I could read the other crack forum or a womans mag for that dribble. That is my view on the matter, endless back & forth won't change it either.
I am sure sponsors want to read neagative sh#t too. Yes Kevin I know exception to every rule.  :lol:

Nick one question, would you except an apology, if you were called an idiot at the same time? I know I wouldn't. :?

I believe this site needs a shake up, this forum is far from productive & helpful. I spend less time on this forum than others which are based in foreign countries or inter state.
People don't post here for fear of redicule, getting teased about what some may see as I stupid question....
How do I know this? Easy, I see alot of forum members on my journeys & their views are the same. Where are all the old school "QLD forum members" I know most are still in the hobby, iI see them at shops, other forums/sites....

I will always help where I can{fish diseases...} I am sick of reading shit. Why, funny enough I care about how this forum goes & newbies shouldn't be exposed to this crap either.

Sorry for the negative post, I do want this site to do really well, but its not.
eg; 305 posts last 24 hours, 9.12pm on one forum
eg; I posted in another forum general discussion this morning 7.09am, had 2 replies & was still 23 posts down the page.

Frenchy :D

[braddo]

Hey frenchy go back and read my first post on this topic as for your liking of other sites well need I say more as far as I can see from a lot of your postings on this site you like to give as much as anybody believe you have had a go at a few people but like I said human nature. Oh well frenchy can't all be as perfect as you.

[quote:fa7e6812d8] Nick one question, would you except an apology, if you were called an idiot at the same time? I know I wouldn't.  [/quote:fa7e6812d8]

well actualy frenchy, if the apology was sincere and i knew the person ment it then yes, i would accept it, but if it was a whole bunch of yeah wateva sry, then no, i only except propper appologies!!

[wrk21]

Ok once again i have let you all have your say, whether you belive SD or Coryfans side of the story is up to you.

So what it gets down to is, SD had a bitch, alot of ppl butted in,  cory had his 15min of fame, end of story, evryone had kissed and made up (well sort of)
get over it......dont make me lock this one too.

cheers

[Savage_roo]

All I can say is Wayne you have the patience  or a saint lol

[here fishie fishie]

Cheers Braddo I like to give it. I will take it too no worries. :lol:  If you care to notice, other sites I visit I don't have to. They are completely different to this. As in I have recieved direct threats from this site before. Can't think why? :lol:
If the topic involves abusing people, lfs...then up I will give my 2 cents. Or if one of the boys jumps on then yep I will then to, they know its all banter.

I am far from perfect, I am a kiwi afterall. But I am intitled to my views & I will call a spade a spade, if you can't handle it then I offer you a tissue.

Frenchy :D

[braddo]

Mate if you knew me you wouldn't even go there I can take it as much as anyone but I still don't know why you started on me. As I offered some advice on why pumps don't do what they are suppose too and other thngs that could have occured but as you said you are a kiwi so let's end this now before this one gets out of hand to hey. My two bobs onthis topic are finished.

[here fishie fishie]

Oops sorry Braddo, it was a misread on my behave. I thought you were the one who started this post.  :oops:
Rule #1 never post after drinking a bottle of red..... :idea:

Bloody kiwis :roll: told ya I am far from perfect, my apologies.

Frenchy :D

[braddo]

no probs nothin taken to heart :D

Justin, Im alot more busy lately, so dont have as much time on here, and im more than happy as the other mod/mods are to hear your complaints or worries about the forum.

One thing I dont like is someone who can critise something but does not have any suggestions on howto make it better. So please give us some feedback on how you think we could make it better, and dont just say more or better mods unless your willing to put your hand up mate.

I understand where your coming from (even got the dig) but some input on howto make it better is the only thing thats going to make a difference.

Cheers,

[GTR73]

Yeah anywho, I still think this is an ok forum. There's much more ruthless ones out there as I said with the original post. At least we have mods that take an active interest and it doesn't get out of control.

Really? don't worry about that I have tried a few times & I can tell ya what responses I have received too. I have even tried offering tips through a sponsor of the time{no longer with us} as I know what my reputation is here.  :lol: Tried using the back door so to speak  :wink:
I have even dropped a name of one forum for you to look at as a hint when you were at Brads.  :wink: I can pm you the addy if you like.

Ask Brad what efforts I have tried in the past to offer suggestions. I have been round this site for ages{the old fab fish days, I was known as tangy cichlids back then}  The thing is before I post most of my straight shooting posts, they are talked about with a few other forum members/ experienced hobbyists & the like. Lets just say they are more political correct than me.{I am more thick skinned, as in lfs shouldn't be abused & the like} I find it quite funny jumping into chat or going to auctions & here the silly little stories, gossip.... but like I said I am the spokesperson/puppet :lol:  for a few forum members. As I said earlier a spade should be called a spade.

Also don't take to heart the post where I rebutted your posts, if you had been of here a while you would of known why I did it & where I was coming from, I do think you are a good bloke. ))o  :lol: & you have improved the forum from what it was.

Frenchy :D

and on that note.........
