 Posted: Tue Oct 13, 2009 11:20 pm Post subject: Board becoming mundane and boring. |
 |
|
Is it only me who thinks that this board has become somewhat stagnated with joke threads, soaps and pics of where some posters have been off on holiday? Remember those boring slide shows of the '80s which we were subjected to at house parties?
I remember that not too long ago these boards were fun to be on where we could have a laugh about, and discuss (argue) many other topics.
Sadly many of those characters have now left here and moved on.
Is it any wonder they have done so?
Maybe perhaps like some, I relive past memories when these boards were worth some "air time", but now I feel that soon I too might as well move on to another board for more innovative topics.
I'm sorry if I've touched a nerve to some, but posters to this board have to accept some responsibility to this decline on this once enjoyble and worthwhile board.

| I agree on some parts AllanP....but it's not just this board. Others are falling by the wayside, and my theory is that a lot of folk are on Facebook. |

I don't want to join Facebook 
I don't want to talk politics. I can never remember funny stories. I don't watch soap. There's very few games I like so if all the board were like me - there's your answer Allan  Fortunately there are members of this board who are very funny indeed.
Personally I look for a laugh. If folk want to have a "discussion" that's fine too as long as they don't lose the heid which happened in the past a LOT ! (Mind you that's probably where most of the laughs came from for the rest of us  ) |

Your opinion is appreciated Allan, and I enjoy having you here.
This is my opinion.
The River City section, is here, because, thats where I met most of my pals.
The main site has gone, and I wanted to make sure, everyone there had somewhere to go.
I know not everyone watches that soap, but a lot do, so it's here for them.
The jokes for me, and I'm sure many others, are a welcome relief from,
the miserable world that can be out there.
I might not comment on every joke, but I do enjoy reading them.
If they make me smile, hopefully they make someone else smile.
Very rarely I get serious on a message board, I have enough of that at work, and life.
So FTS, has always been a release for me, I reckon those who know me,
will tell you, I haven't changed the way I post, since I began posting.
I'm not here as often as I would like to be.
But it's the same for me, as it is for anyone.
FTS, is here for anyone who wants to be part of it, and use it.
Whether that is everyday/every week/every month. It doesn't matter.
Just as long as it is still here.
We are all different, we want different things, thats what makes life interesting.
Forums get busy/quiet, I've seen it before. This forum is friendly.
I'm proud of that fact, I've been on shitty forums, and left them.
If you stay, I'll be happy Allan, cos I like you.
But you have to do what you feel is right for you pal.
I wish you well Allan, whatever you decide to do.

Thank you for your very kind and genuine comments as to my latest POV.
I did not say that I will be leaving, only that I'm thinking of contributing elsewhere on the odd occassion.
I, as I've said before, only find this board sometimes not to my own individual taste. This happens to us all.
I will not leave, nor ignore this board. Let's just say that I will be much more selective in posting to, or answering a thread in future.
In the meantime, I hope all you posters will continue to contribute to this my most favourable Scottish comments site, and I will continue to see you all often and maybe moan a bit from time to time.
I trust you all will understand.
You will not get rid of me that easily.

I nearly forgot that very valid point Sid.
Alan I expect most people on here have full time jobs, it is not always easy to get here, I have posted photo's in the past and will continue to do so if I think they may be of interest to others, I spend most of my time in the River City section as that is my interest, not everyone's taste but then I stay away from the Politics bit as I have no interest in that, may be an idea to open new threads to get people communicating we can all do that if we wish

How sad is that admission Eloise. You bury your head in the proverbial sand of everyday life within a fictitious soap programme where characters are scriptwrited, but then admit to ignore normal everyday aspects of other peoples common humdrum lives. You really do have to get out and about.

It's not sad, it's Eloise's choice. It may not be how you live your life, but so what? |

I do not consider it "sad" as you put it, you have an interest in horse racing, that is YOUR CHOICE I would never slate anyone for their interests, I do not get in to political arguments as that is a personal thing to me, I have my opinions and you have yours leave it there, if you want to fight pop along to a boxing club, I work hard all day and If I choose to lose myself in a soap I will continue to do so, do not preach to me about getting out and about, you know nothing about me, take a spoonful of sugar mate it may sweeten you up a bit

Eloise 1 Allan P 0
Absolutely perfect answer!
Personally I'm not a tv watcher, but my 'fetishes' are 24 and Desperate Housewives.....it's escapism
Whether your 'fetish' is watching the local football team, telly, climbing mountaing, playing the pipes............whatever! Everyone is different! Don't slag off what you don't know! |

I never have slagged off anyone for their own particular fetish.
To each of his, or her own particular bag I bow down to, and hope they never get caught.

You are sad!
Why do you immerse yourself in soap operas? There is a big world out there that needs to be reckoned with.
If you have viewed my many posts and answers you surely must have accepted that horse racing is only one of my many posts.
Politics have got to be very high in the importance of our lives these days.
Are you ignoring that fundemental fact?

Well I don't know about anyone else, but I'm totally confused as to what you mean AP.
In one post you say you've never slagged off anyone for their fetishes, and in the next one you're calling Eloise sad.  |

Allan P I really don't know what your problem is, I have already stated I DO NOT discuss politics as that is a pivate matter, I do have a great interest in everyday life,but some things I do prefer to discuss face to face not on a message board, I come on here for a bit if light relief, so please keep to your interests and I will keep to mine.

Instead of all the nagative comments about why you think the board has gone stale and boring (your words), why don't you come up with ideas of how the board can be improved or what you would like to see here, i'm sure you can be accomodated.
It's normal at this time of year for a board to slow down, if you look at other boards, as i'm sure you're a member of more than one, you'll see that there's a degee of inactivity on them too.
If you're still not happy with this board you always have the option of leaving, not that i'm asking you to do so, i hasten to add.
So let's have more positive attitude, not just from Allan, but everyone else, let's see some more posts and get this board back to the fun place it always has been.

I was just trying to be nice Neep,
but, yes i agree with you, he is a F***** prick.
Although that might be being disrespectful to pricks to associate him with pricks, as a prick is a usefull thing.

If only I was a big prick, then I would be in porno and not reading your cheap innuendo here, as you are obviously unable to raise a coherent counter arguement against my own viewpoint.
