View Full Version : Can we stop being a cliquey bunch of wanks?
"Ooh, I don't like this new skin"
"Ooh, I don't like these slightly different thread titles"
"Who is this poster who was around for years on TTH?"
"Why aren't things exactly like they were I think I'm going to have a panic attack because the colour scheme has changed and I'm a child"
It's a new board, its time we all get used to it and accept a few things are going to be different.

To be fair, Phonics did ask for suggestions and ideas.
I don't think anyone is really that bothered.

What a wanker.
Making a thread complaining that people are complaining.
Close to neg repping.
I largely agree, but ": D" not being :grin: is a travesty.

Oooh, I really don't like this thread. Nobody made threads like this on the old board.
Toby seems more bothered by it than the people supposedly complaining. Nobody is that unhappy, it's just comments about it being different.

I prefer this one by a mile.
Complaining about a thread which was made to complain about people complaining.
:nono:

When it's contained to that thread and it's constructive it's fine.

Complaint is fine, I'm talking about people being upset by change.
Look at Ian the moaning wanker.

Does this forum show up on Google, by the way? Can we start using Gaseous Snake again without fear of him being sacked?

Top, top pedantry.

Why can't people be upset about change? Like think of WW2 changed the citiscape of many cities, and people were quite upset about that. Are you saying they were wrong? That basically makes you a nazi, dude.

Ooooooh, Toby, Toby
Toby, Toby, Toby, Toby Sandison
Top, top pedantry.
:cab:
It's not pedantry, it's a significant distinction.
Making constructive suggestions to actually improve the board is good. Whinging that things aren't exactly like they were, even if that has no advantage beyond, 'because I'm used to that' is just pointless.
Is this the official seethe thread?

Hey-hey it's Toby
He's got a massive Head
He left his mates in Shetland
To bore us all instead

I take if the forum is locked down, aye?

We're the remnants left from a dying and defunct forum, the only ones who were motivated to move to another one en masse.
We're pretty much the definition of a cliquey bunch of wankers.

Toby why you gotta be a dick, you can be cool mate, you can. Try it. You won't be accepted but its all about the spirit of belief.
I largely agree, but ": D" not being :grin: is a travesty.
Fixed.
The forum is ugly and slow, but it works, which the other one emphatically doesn't at the moment. Better to get on with it than complain.

We've been using the same forum and the same threads for more or less 10 years, is it that hard to believe that some people are going to have a hard time adjusting to it within 2 days?
Also, while we're being PEDANTIC WANKERS, none of what you listed really qualifies as "cliquey".

I don't find it to be either.
Anyone have any bright ideas to recruit a few new members?

We won't recruit new members. We'll talk about how to do it for a 2 months but nothing will ever get done. We're all great at doing that :drool:
Is Football Manager big in Mali?

The third point very much is and was what prompted me to post this. The others were mostly meant in a light hearted way but I suppose it was naive to think it might be successfully read that way just because we are on a new board.

Has to be twitter surely. Like fuck am I sharing this place with people I know, though.
Get the missus signed up, MJ. :nod:
we are going to need new members at some point. Might invite Lauren and Fit Accountant at the same time.
Giggles
20-09-2015, 09:35 AM
It's not here you want to be inviting both of them.
They will meet at the Christmas party at which we are going to have to pretend we don't want to fuck one another.
We'll be setting up a poster campaign in the next few weeks off the back of the donations we receive.

What a bullshit thread, suggest it's closed.

We've missed a trick dead-naming ourselves, since we're not going to get any new members without any sort of Football Manager component. We should have called this place 'Bantasy Island' and got the LadBible to affiliate with us.
The forum is a bit difficult to read. I think the lack of avatars is what's doing it, as that tended to be what I used to identify people without having to pay attention.
A new skin wouldn't go amiss, but then we'll get used to this one in the next while and complain when it's finally changed. It was always thus.

That sounds like a recipe for disaster.

If they become best friends I'll kill myself.
I'm not the sort of person who that kind of thing happens to.
Lee's going to need therapy by the time this episode is over.
I won't. Things are going much better at home at the minute and hopefully that lasts. If I were single I'd definitely have shagged Fit Accountant by now and she made it very clear that I could do so when I was out with her a week or so back. But I'm not, so I won't. I can't deny being flattered though and I do enjoy the attention.

Remember that girl I used to work with I was telling you about who the wife hates because she's jealous of her and thinks she lusts after me, well they met properly at that recent wedding we were at and are now FB friends and she's inviting her on nights out as well as me? Fucking suicide.

This must be avoided at all costs. The other shit scenario is that Lauren and Fit Accountant's husband start a steamy affair. I'm happy having a proper relationship at home and a woman at work to distract me when home is shit. And to flirt with on nights out.
I still don't know how my cock didn't burst out of my jeans last Friday night.
"Can we get a taxi back to yours?"
"Lauren is in my bed."
She then invited me out for lunch, just the two of us. I've knocked that fucker on the head. She clearly wants a proper affair.
As if you're not absolutely loving it.
Of course I'm loving it, I even said so a couple of posts up.
You'll have had the affair by the end of the summer.
I won't as I'm not a massive cunt.
Yevrah
20-09-2015, 02:20 PM
We really do need a picture of this FA.
I'm not doing that but she's a tall slim blonde with nice tits and fairly pretty. Lauren is brunette, shorter and prettier.

That comparison was unnecessary. You don't need to explain anything to us.
I owe it to the community.
Magic

You really need to be committed to such a thing as a work affair. In my mind random fucks in cities you very rarely visit with 0 chance of anyone being any the wiser are preferable. Too much risk and grief with a work affair, no matter how tempting it might be I'd never partake.

There are avatars.

Not everyone has the same ones, which was clearly the point.
If that's what you wanted to say why didn't you say that?
Because I mistakenly assume that some of you are capable of thinking things through.

I'll try and source my old one if it helps you cope, mate. We need to support each other through this difficult time.
I think it is very clear that you fucked up. E-apologize to us now.
