Since you posted this, I've logged on 3 times just to check, and each time all those so called guests have joined just minutes before I logged on, bit strange that, some appear to be viewing genuine threads, about Accy.

I think you have come onto the wrong thread for that, by the way things have taken a turn for the worse on that thread

Sorry to go off topic but I resent the spoilers posted by the drug gang, and just watch, more will follow!

Glad you put me on your ignore list as I had no intention of contacting you anyway, so why bother?

There have been some nasty people on this forum - who have been nasty to me and caused deliberate friction - one being a certain Garinda! Who is on my "ignore" list - as he has been trolling!

I thought forums were places to discuss serious issues - not just pat your mates on the back to get high Karma scores as seems to be what occurs here! I know my 278 points in the green will soon become red, such is the nature of things...

It is sad that both of you are much more concerned about the issue of Karma rather than what the thread is actually about......the persecution issue also reflects an immature viewpoint.

Can't you both just accept that you are never going to be flavour of the month with some forum members and move on??

These are just my opinions...my own viewpoint.

The fact that Accyweb is far more popular, lively and well-patronised than many other forums from larger towns is a testimony to its own success.

I've said it before, but Accyweb is one on its own...it's slightly eccentric, left-field, off the wall and, yes, sometimes vitriolic and all the better for it. In fact, it's a fitting reflection of its regular members, some of whom appear to have arrived from another planet!

If you want a normal forum, go elsewhere!

You must admit though Wynonie, you are always on of the first to get so defensive if anyone mentions or even if they don't mention Clique / Click.

Sorry Im not up to your standards of literacy.

Back on topic, most guests will be as already said Bots.

Chris, Kes, I cant believe your in the green. How much did you both pay.

These two are on my ignore list so I only get to see responses from them if they are quoted or referred to, but when I do its always the same trolling.

This behaviour keeps the guests from signing up, and the regular members off the site, which gets us back on topic.

Just fed up of a small minority of members continually whinging about this, that and the other on Accyweb.

If you dislike this forum so much, go and join another one. Simple as.

maybe new members are scared of being the subject of a online witch hunt from certain registered members which also puts us back on topic

Restless · 02-05-2012, 15:43

perhaps they have been scared off by fire extinguishers and cloning cones

Registered members are not the least bit frightening ... nor intimidating. Some are crusty and grumpy; some are opinionated and predictable; some are pleasant and helpful; some are short

If, on reading through the threads, some decide not to jump in and make their mark ... well, that's their choice. I don't think that those on this forum should change in order to accomodate potential members. The dog wags the tail, not the other way around.
