    Mokbull is one that reminds you that it's not all about quantity.

    I would generally agree, but the majority of the meetings I'm in seem to be quite meaningful so I guess it's just quite important to what I do. Anyway, not the right thread to pursue this discussion I suppose.

    Oh and by the well @Mellberg described the decline of this place much better than I could have, I think he has a great point. Take Lewis, there was a time where I considered him fun and friendly, even though there was some sort of pot shooting going on as there was always around TTH, but then I felt over the years as my own engagement seemed to vane, he also seemed to become more and more cynical and generally crude, to the point where I couldn't really appreciate it as a form of humour anymore.

    It's a bit like the opposite journey than that of @Dark Soldier. When I started posting in TTH in, what, 2006? Back then I remember he seemed quite like a bastard but then I started understanding him more and more and what was actually jokes and what wasn't, and then he started actually opening up more about his personal life as well.

    On that last note, it's something we seem to definitely have lost these days. Maybe people are just more careful on the internet? The amounts of personal stuff that many, including me, have shared on here was always quite amazing, and the fact that we would almost all do it and for some reason also all seem to trust each other with that information - is what I always felt was the main reason the place was so great.

    This is starting to read a little bit like a eulogy, which wasn't my intention, but then again I suppose to some extent I do mourn the better days that TTH had, because I do feel it's past it's peak now - however much I don't really want it to be so.

    Did Lewis go too far with the balding jokes?

    I'm possibly not as polished as I used to be, but I don't like to think I've collected any scalps. You're a big gloss to this pate, Maz, so I'm willing to glisten and try to smooth things over.

    quincy was doing the same shit Mokbull does about telling people how sad they are for posting on a forum whilst doing so himself. What you may or may not be like in real life has zero relevance to what you are like on here.

    I dunno, I'm exactly the same on here as I am anywhere else. Terrifying thought, I know.

    Yeah but that, igor, is a testament to why this place has always been special. In general, people do not seem to be themselves on forums, as least from what I've seen, but here people largely are, albeit at times exaggerated versions of themselves.

    I would agree with previous sentiments expressed (I can't remember by who) that there's a slight undercurrent of nastiness now. Whereas before one assumed it was all 'good-natured', you're not left with that impression any more. It's a tremendous shame, but I have little interest in engaging in a topic only to have Tobias throw around s or Giggles make another snide comment.

    Jimmy nailed it in the latter part there. I wouldn't expect anyone to be like they are here in real life. It's the extreme pantomime-like personas that make a place decent. In real life we're all boring as fuck and things like this wouldn't exist if we acted like it.

    Actually that's another main thing really too. As we've aged we probably stop pretending more and just be ourselves, which is zzzzzzzzz. And it's reflecting here.

    I don't mind that, if anything all it does is make him sound like a broken record. It's more a general demeanour he's got these days.

    Christ sake lads come on. I expected at least a year before we started thinking about the collective suicide of the board.

    The emoticons are because despite your claims you show no actual interest in good natured discussion, just patronising lectures. If you ever actually engaged a point you might have some substance to this, but as it is you mostly just ignore what the other person says and post whatever three paragraphs of boring shit you were planning anyway.

    This is the nasty streak Mellz talked about. For shame.

    I would say him dragging Giggles and my names in for a lazy dig was a far better example but each to their own.

    Piss taking aside, I really enjoy visiting this forum. The range of views is normally quite wide and whisper it, I even enjoy Harold's input at times. It's healthy in terms of variety and as someone who rarely posts can I add it isn't a forum littered with injokes etc. You can post in here on any thread after being away for months/years.

    The old forum was the same. So credit where it is due, you folks are actually full of good chat and interesting views.

    I second that. He had his quirks but he definitely wasn't a snipey cunt.

    I lost a lot of respect for him. In saying that, he's probably dead after a wheel fell off his Muslamic chariot going at 105mph on the M11.

    Threads like this.

    And turning into lurkers because there's not enough argument.

    Consensus is a bitch.
