Seriously, we must be the biggest bunch of cunts compared to any other forum community. Theres like 30 REGULAR "and" ACTIVE high post members here that I'd say make up the main character of the community here... it has been this way for the past year or so. The number was larger 3-4 years ago but still, the bulk of the forum regulars are still pretty active bar a few.

What I am getting at is, there are no new users which seem to be making a habbit of posting regularly. There are hundreds, heaps and heaps of 1-10 post wonder 'hi im n00b' threads in the newbie section which gets added to almost daily. Where the hell do they all go? Confused do we scare them all away..?

They must go into the bitching section and think *ho shit, what a bunch of emo cunts, Im out of this shit hole* and go back to google to find a better forum to join Rolling Eyes

Cmon newbies we need new posters Smile Im sick of the same old shit. WaldoJ falling out with his friends and picking up a new girl every week, Im sick of Captain Cox's hardware breaking (he must run around the house breaking his stuff on purpose ) in the hardware section, Im sick of Kommando being the only one posting in the motivational pictures thread, Im sick of Dazz and Leonatan having msn conversations in the useless void, compubrain no longer has any trolls on his back and has resorted to normal posting, SpykeZ is not as gay as he used to be since losing his badge of cooler-than-you-peasants, im sick of not seeing Jenni post any more Sad, Im sick of timechange01 posting.. well im sick of timechange01 posting, Im sick of nouseforaname posting pictures of his cats every time they roll over, Im sick of Rinze not banning people for silly reasons any more, even leonatan is being banned less than once a day now, Im sick of Dominae attacking everyone for having an opinion, im sick of chinup calling everyone stupid and drinking wine then posting threads which make little-to-none sense to anyone below the IQ of 150 Whew.. I could go on but I cba.. and most of all im sick of seeing my own threads in the bitching session making it out that I have no life whatsoever... wait.. nevermind Wink

I could go on, but you get the point. We need some fresh air breathed into the userbase ffs. The new members I think are well worthy of a pat on the back for their posts and contribution are TesterWS, Nuclearshadow when he isnt arguing with people then ultimately getting confused with himself so bad that he is basically arguing with his own multi-paradox ed opinions <3, and well Karmeck isnt really new but seems to be posting a lot more these days and I like how he seems even more emo than GigaloJ which I thought fucking impossible. Hats off to you guys. Wink

It does seem to be only a certain amount of people posting. Like if an interesting thread is posting, I always wait for Chinup to wade in with a post that contains a million adjectives, then a certain few others will latch onto that.

Honestly the discussions ain't as interesting as they was. Partly due to lack of members. I read most posts but I rarely reply because I just don't feel it's worth it. Back then Syco was around and posting regularly I did give a shit and I had quite a few nice discussions with him.

Other then that I mostly read the motivational pictures thread for a good laugh, check a link every now and then but more then that? Naaahh. It is the lack of interesting discussions that keeps me from posting.

We still have a world new section, I believe it's disabled to those who haven't posted enough due to the high attention in anger it recieves.

Squirrely: Now come on y'all. We can't waste time arguing. There could still be survivors out there. We need to hunt them down, and kill them.
Beary: How about we kill them, and then rape their bodies so we can use their blood as lubricant.

I rarely post anymore as well, all I really do is make game templates to raise awareness of games coming out.

@Gem, I didn't lose my badge or membership, i asked rinze to remove me.

Thank you ! The artwork is designed by Jean-sébastien Deheeger for a threadless's t-shirt. I am being a proud owner of one such olive t-shirt. So, I merely just transformed artwork to a sig Smile

I just find most posts here, kinda stupid and I find no reason to comment on them. I do read most, though and my main focus is probably in the movie section.


8 out of 10 dentists prefer zipfero to competing brands(fraich3 and Mutantius)!

I really find it amusing when kylieboy here pretends like he's some old-timer whining about how the forum is not what it used to be.Very Happy

And it's not as if there are no new members posting. It's just that the forum has had a lot of unneccessary drama and it needs time to recover from that. And there will always be people who are more visible than others because they post more. For example, while it is true that Cap'nCox does more TO his hardware than with it Very Happy, I'm sure that everyone has hardware problems.

As for people who are 'too good' to post here, why don't you post more often and raise the bar because you do spend/waste time reading the posts. For eg, I would have loved to learn more about the pics edweird posted on mediahump of his tv monitor/coffee-table/retro arcade game machine.

don't know for other lurkers around here but me, I post, once a while, a couple of posts - but i lack consistency (sp?) why, you ask?
maybe because i'm a lazy bum or because i'm an apathetic piece of crap - don't care...
nah, seriously? - most of the time i just enjoy the topics here and have a good laugh every once in a while but often i don't feel like i have something useful to add to a discussion, and i'm all about usefulness and things making sense, maybe if i start posting crap... nah, not my style

Rolling Eyes Ugh please. Im not trying to sound 'elitist' or ?PRETEND? to be old-anything. The forum isnt even old anyway.. I just remember signing up when no members had posts larger than 300 so I guess that is near the beginning. Anyway enough time giving to you.

I just pointed out we need more regular posters.
