    Im needing a word to convey a message of warning. I tried thinking that BEWARE in warning of a poisonious spider that has migrated to the US was a good title as that was my intentions to warn but it seems it is not acceptable. What other form of title of warning should I have used since my intentions were to warn?

    Are you incapable of THINKING?

    Anything you post in PURE BULL is going to be seen as a LIE anyway. Not a place to put a warning.

    Please review the titles and descriptions of the 400+ forums here. I know that's difficult for RTers to understand that there are OTHER forums here, but it's true (not bull).

    If you have a HEALTH warning, that would go in the HEALTH forum.

    Yes I guess I could have added the extra effort to include the body of the message to the title to save the time typing inthe actual message area, then again I guess I could have not bothered at all too as it only seems to affect those living in the Gulf Coast area and there is likely need to bring it up either.

    If it affects some area of the US, you could go to the US forum and post it there...

    I know it's hard to do, to think of a UNIQUE, DESCRIPTIVE TITLE, then find an APPROPRIATE FORUM, but I have faith in you. I know you can do it if you try.

    But guess what? If you do that your message will get across to the people who are MOST INTERESTED in what you have to say.

    It could have been a very simple matter of saying "BEWARE - New venomous spider"

    But choosing not to and then following up the rightfully locked thread with this one shows you don't really want more than the attention a second thread would garner. The sarcastic tone is a nice touch too... why are the guidelines so difficult to follow? A little effort and consideration can go a long way.

    Yes, in fact this thread STILL has an unacceptable title. Any idea how many threads exist with the title "help needed"?

    You should've called it "Help needed with thread title", this way people who think you need help will know before they click what kind of help you're looking for.

    Guess you just can't think of more than 2 words at a time?

    The sticky that is atop this entire area in Pure Bull is every bit as vague is it not? "Just a heads up" Does it assist to direct the contents of the thread?

    Its your forum, by all means seek out the over 113 non precise descriptive headers to assorted threads through out the forum and do as you please.

    I will be sure to not start any threads as it seems the "chosen children" are allowed to do as they will but the rest of us are under fire.

    You know Skip you like to post that we all act like children, but you have treated us like we are two from the start. I'll let you in on a secret. The only reason I liked Random Thoughts was because I could post something and have the people I wanted to read it reply. This site is full of ass kissers. Oh and you are a perfect example of if my views on an issue don't match yours then fuck me. Sorry but you are a jackass, and your dick sucking minions. Call this a personal attack if you want. I no longer give a rats ass.

    So what has happened to the cool skip? Was skip ever cool?

    If running your site into the ground your current mission your doing good job of it, the nets huge and people network and word gets around.

    Hip forums isnt so hip these days.

    So why not cut the bullshit out and state whats really got you pist off.

    Even myself used to hand out and pass on info on this site, but your dictatorship like attitude, even with this post, yank and burn hasnt done shit ecxcept post and your on him like a ****** on a crack rock,wtf.

    Skip please get over yourself or.....fuck it, its your site. Have fun.

    oh its not worth it. I mean nothing is being said that has not been said before and obviously it matters not so oh well. I mean remember if people dont like it leave and if its so easy start your own ect.



    I just have lost the motivation to give a shit. I mean I work long hours, came here purely for a bit of entertainement and talk to a few folks but its not required, I managed for 35 years before comming here.
