    I'm pretty new on here, joined 2 or 3 weeks ago... and i definately notice who are the regulars and who knows who etc... but it doesnt really put me off to be honest, because you can never join something like this and instantly know everybody (if that makes sense?).

    ...anyway, lets see if im still here in a month or so :chin: ... i reckon i will be :D :flirt:

    Aimz, I use this website regularly not because I want to annoy people, but because I am keeping a promise I made to another member. He asked me to keep him updated on my situation. For you to imply that I am always here is insulting.

    The reasons that people leave are quite clear. If you search around in the archives, you'll notice a number of threads have had to be closed by the moderators because they degenerated into slanging matches. The moderators have ended up banning a number of members because of this. Let's say that someone posts a thread and they get flamed. Do they want to come back and risk this happening again? First impressions matter here.

    Yeah you've got a good point there. i can gladly say that i havn't witnessed anything like that yet, and hopefully i never will.

    and yeah you will always get the odd person who comes on here just to cause arguements etc, but thats what the moderators are for i suppose! :)

    True. Only last week, there was Mr_T causing trouble on a thread. One report to a moderator with evidence put a stop to it, though.

    Sorry. I get angry rather quickly. I'm too sensitive. Probably explains a few things about me.

    If you noticed correctly, you'll find a lot of the flaming started around when hellfire joined. Not to cause arguments or anything like.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    More n00bs than you'd think stay.

    Most just come, ask for advice, then go again. Some are regulars messing about, or hiding behind another name in order to get advice (I've done both in the past), and some are just trolls.

    Those who get sucked in stay a long time. But no-one stays forever. Of those who were around when I joined, only Whowhere, JsT, GWST and Groovaybaby and Justin still post regularly. Skive and Man of Kent still post sometimes, but then they were n00bs when I was.

    Bollocks.

    You think this is bad flaming? Way back in 2001 they had to close the boards for a few days because the flaming was so vicious and so violent. The boards had degenerated into tribal warfare.

    Hey I've stuck around for 5 months and not everyone has been particularly nice to me but it's no big deal. I don't expect it now so when people are nice to me then it's a bonus :p

    And you're still hopeless biased against Mr Boyz.

    I still don't get why people won't just leave him the fuck alone- he's so much less hassle when he's ignored. Especially when there are other posters who make me so stressed, and they deserve all the abuse they get.

    :yes: As much as I dislike him, he doesn't deserve a lot of what he gets, and he didn't deserve the majority of what he got when he first joined either.

    Also, if you leave him alone, maybe he'll go away quicker...

    I'd disagree with that.

    Though I said even then that if everyone had left him alone he'd have pissed off, and wouldn't have been any bother.

    I get the impression that certain posters do it just to keep themselves amused.

    Why else would anyone flame someone? :confused:
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    I meant when he first joined, as in his first thread. Nobody had any reason to disbelieve him (although I am now in severe doubt myself as to whether the majority of what he said was true), but they did.

    I didn't really pay attention to much of what he did/said when he first joined so *shrugs*
