Just wear it like a badge Odie..  :laugh:  peeps belly-aching over your posting yet most of their online time is spent talking bout how miserable they think you/mel are .. looks like a quite efficient troll, since you've managed to get under the skins of so many well done!!

Getting under people's skin while drunk is an accomplishment....I've never understood that.

No offense, but that is really dumb. Attention whoring was accepable ten years ago when forums were still busy. You could ignore them. Now the trolls like Joe, odinson, eddie and TD suck all the oxygen out of the room speeding up the demise of this medium.

Only if you let it get to you..if they rub you the wrong way BB platform forums offer an ignore feature, and as far as it effecting ,I think Fash and kiebs keep it well filtered and maintained down to RR.. and when it comes down to blatant disregard of rules well established it's for the Forum Owner to decide how or what direction she chooses to remedy issues ....





It's the whole censoring banter thats a forum cancer ,too many rule changes and flip flop enforcing.. just like business too many complaints and hush mode becomes natural and less people post or post elsewhere, I rather see Odi jumping thru hoops then a bunch of belly aching anyday



10 years ago good forums existed, before trolls were stifled, understood to many FODDER trolls can make a place appear Juvenile but this forum still has enough Quality threads to support lowbrow also, ying/yang

It's not normal and it doesn't make posting more interesting.

little bias no? do you speak for all?, how much traffic are you on a grand scheme, look at the thread view counts and they'll tell you otherwise.. if you break it down thats where the forum has the highest counts..

There was no need to stifle attention whoring of the variety that eddie, Joe and odinson spam boards with since those of us interested in discussions were the vast majority ten years ago. That is not the case today. There has been an exodus of serious posters, but the boring trolls never leave. Discussions with these clowns are like trying to walk to the garden at the back of a yard of someone who never cleans up after their dog. A lot of bypassing shit to get to what you came for.

The numbers don't lie.. a new guest whose learning a new forum heads to the most current popular thread first to feel the place out and feel what it has to offer ..

And that would be Blazor's thread on the main board.

The numbers alone are misleading but RG has made a good point to think about.



RR is a repository for derailed threads, thus is large. It does not get all that many "direct" posts.



Still, the impression on a newbie eager to find a good forum landing there is not a good one



Dunno why we have all the TD etc. put-down posts ... he's a nutcase / troublemaker and I fail to see why we play into that and make this sub larger and more active.

He's been gone some time now yet is still a subject of conversation .. Do we  really need that?

Some people want to get under TD's very thin skin....it's childish, I agree.

Still RG's point is valid ... "initial impression" matters



Reject Rodeo, a "cute" term  has meaning to regular posters but may not be clear enough for newbies. Something less subtle / more direct might be a good plan ... something that instantly lets one know ... like say "Rejected Material" for example



or for example "TRASH BIN" would make it clear to possible new members that this is not the forum @ its "best"   ... at least I think that is the case

TD and his ilk are .... and I mean it literally and physically .. a "waste of space"

I would like to change the name of this sub..



Now, that we have two choices, what do you like; Rejected Material or TRASH BIN?
