    Some people on the site were keen to denigrate me and attack me at any opportunity as my post count went up. My advice is to carry on posting, and to tell his critics to fuck off. That's what I've been doing for months.
    You weren't posting crap for the sole reason of getting to 1,000 though. That's the difference.

    95% of the time, people who make criticisms like this of other board members are usually deluded fools who have nothing better to do with their time. Criticisms like "oh, you're posting crap" are subjective and not worth listening to.

    exactly, I don't see what the big deal is on how many posts people have made, who cares?

    I agree that a lot of his stuff has been pointless, but don't keep going on about it...if people want to feel they've achieved something amazing by posting 1,000 times on an internet message board, then let them. If it makes him happy, then let him be happy. ;)

    thank you, thank you very much.

    I am also not a deluded fool and I have better things to do than post a load of rubbish in order to get my post count high!

    I come on here to give/ask advice and participate in discussions etc.

    I can't see the problem, don't like 'em don't look at 'em. I'm not racing, I don't care how many posts I have. If I was so desperate to get 1000 post I could have done it a lot quicker. I don't live for this website, If it went down tomorrow and never came back I would'nt give a monkeys. You won't stop me posting what I wan't. I have never made an offencive post on this site and I don't intend to either. I never swear on here or have a go at anyone. So to all the killjoys just give it a rest.

    To everyone who likes Me threads your all all right :thumb:

    In Politics & Debate, I do tend to write my opinion in such a way that it encourages people to respond. I use a very provocative style of writing, which is often compared to a newspaper editorial. This may be somewhat sensationalist, but it does get people talking.

    Many disagree with my views there, and what I do is ensure I write about politics in such a way that people think "hey, he's right" or "this guy's completely wrong, I'm gonna set him straight". I can't stand seeing P&D threads where everybody agrees with one another. That's not debate, it's just monotonous.

    I also don't like it when I see board members ganging up on individuals. It not only breaks the spirit and the rules of this forum, but it makes the people who are bullying others look downright pathetic.

    This is a good attitude to have. There are some individuals on this site who have tried to force me out with endless bullying. Do not give in. Your threads aren't the best ever, but they are very far from being the worst.

    totally agree with everything you say there SG, but i dont see how anyone cant detract from the truth, that over the past few days, jarvey has posted repeated new threads about totally pointless things, which is starting to get the masses riled and annoyed

    Everybody annoys the masses on the site every now and then. For example, I could easily criticise the threads Rainbow Brite and Nihilistic Madman have done about David Hasselhoff, and I have done. My criticism infuriated some members, one of whom I even had to refer to the moderators.

    It's practically a fact on this site that you're going to annoy someone. Twisted_Trinity, Lucifer Devil, 1983 and several others have said in public they don't like me and they find me incredibly annoying. But do I care? Nope. The best thing to do is keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.

    With all due respect, this isn't always a bad thing. If a thread has a 'conspicious' or 'ambigious' title, it increases the likelihood of people looking at it. The whole point of making a thread is that you want people to read it, and this is one very useful tactic for making sure they do.

    I don't tend to read your threads because I just look at the title and notice that they are on a stupid topic so I don't both reading them.

    You obviously do care how posts you have otherwise you wouldn't have made a thread when you reached 1000.

    I know you don't make offensive posts here but I am just saying that some of the threads that you do make are pointless and normally when people do this is becuase they want to raise their post count.

    Sorry just expressing my opinion.

    No offense meant, but I find it a bit over-the-top when people think that seriously about others on here as to refer to them as enemies...

    ...friction like this is one reason why I used to hate forums. To be honest, if it was up to me I'd probably ban the daft topics and use the site only for advice and help, but that's just me. It would be easier that way. People get far too personal, when there's really no need for it.

    Banning people from talking about the topics they wanted to talk about would go against what TheSite.org believes in. I refer to TheSite's page about what they believe;

    "TheSite.org will continue to be an inclusive social environment enabling all young people to express themselves and address the issues that concern them."

    To prevent people from talking about different topics like that would mean closing off much of the forum, and meaning a much more limited scope for people to discuss topics. One thing I have learnt about the moderators on this site is they believe very strongly in this code, I have no doubt about that.

    I agree that things do get extremely personal from time to time however, and there is no need for it. Those who come onto this forum and deliberately insult others for no reason whatsoever should be dealt with much more harshly than they are now.

    To be honest I don't really feel the friction, it means nothing to Me.
