    Im still here, lets see, im prolly comin up on my second year, but i come on less and less also, partly because im really diggin earth, and vibes, and people, and philosophy, and partly because its hard for me to get engagded, but thats my own problem. Bona Feyta a Twa. and partly because my computers slow..


    Have a nice day all cheers to the good and truth!

    I'm also still here, it's just that I don't post as much as I used to nowadays, I find myself not spending thus much time online at all, because I've got a life (lol), but I try and come online daily because of some people that don't live as close to me and otherwise I'd miss them too much! :)

    But, yeah, these forums have changed and that's one of the reasons why I don't post as much anymore, too...

    But, well, it's us (people) that make the future - for everything ; forums, Earth, friendships - it's all depending on us, so let's be the change! :)

    Love,
    Borut

    I know, we should accept it and stuff, but, I really really liked how it was before, and now it's just ruined..it's really a bummer. I used to post stuff on here for help and stuff, and now I don't, at all. I think that we should seriously start a new category thing for people that have been here longer, and where you can't post really dumb stuff that has been appearing on here.

    Happy Birthday CHUCK!!!!

    first i was going to agree with surfhipe(thanks by the way:)) but then i read this. this is very true, if all the people who whine about the forums sucking came and posted good threads again, then the newbies would either be influenced by all our good posts or they would be too embarrassed to post their dumb shit. but i will still be unhip and flame the idiots as long as they make stupid threads[​IMG]


    edit: this post is bringing back memories of when i first came here, and now im in a better mood then usual. thanks guys :)

    What bothers me most is that so many people feel the need to post on every single thread. I mean, its nice that you are interested I guess, but seriously... 1500-2000 posts in a month or two is excesive. I ususally scan through the forums once or twice a day and I believe my average daily postings is less than 2. It could be a hell of a lot more if there were actually some worthwhile threads.

    And to whoever said we need to sort of lead by example.... people do make reasonable and interesting threads but the pointless ones that have 2, 3, 4 or 5 pages to them, push the interesting ones onto pages further back and its a hassle to shuffle through.

    ouch....that hurt.


    not really. i do post too much, but none of my posts are to get my post count up. i do have an insightful comment most of the time, in this forum anyway.


    i figure that if we flame the stupid posts, theyll stop making similar posts.
    follow my example, veteran forumdwellers!

    Actually... it wasn't meant towards anyone specifically. However, you seem to fit in the category, so if you like lables I'll be more than happy to give you a gold star which allows you into the club. You know how us hip folk do it.
