Batlord: place would often be pretty grim without him. Never leave man!

@ oriphiel

i get your point but try googling it. i'm not the first person to notice the decline. i doubt it's just a coincidence that more or less every forum i've come across has grown less active over the years. that doesn't mean there won't still be forums that are relatively active. just like you will still find kmarts here and there.

Bluff, hard-working, no-nonsense. Mostly farmers (stereotype but often true), take no ****, no time for bull (other than the ones in their fields), straight-talking, down to earth etc etc etc.

I completely agree on Trollheart. This site would be dead without him, as much as I hate his dad jokes.

So every forum that closed had one thing in common... You were there. I think we have a new prime suspect in the disappearance of the forums! We're on to you; where did you hide them?!

yea you latched on to one part of my post and ignored the rest to keep your shtick going. you know i'm right.

If MB does I'm gonna stick around and chat with myself. Feel free to join me, anyone.

I'll stick around and be the creepy lurker.

i'm not saying forums won't exist anymore. they fill a certain niche. i'm just saying they had their heyday and were basically replaced for a lot of people by social media. but all of this is to say i don't understand why this place is so facsist in regard to bans. i don't think it does you any favors tbh.

Lately all the bans have been requested.

Hardly anyone gets banned. The only ones I can think of were given literally 1000 chaces before the ban happened.

i meant cause they banned sansa they can't unban her cause she said some rude **** to roxy or whatever. that seems kind of childish to me.

and honestly i dunno why you guys let 216 get to you so much...

Like James said, thousands of chances. That was just the straw that broke the camel's back.

Plus I don't hate dirty, he had his moments.

I got on really well with Sansa, but yeah that wasn't the real reason. There were many incidents before that.
As for 216, that's a different story, but I am so sick of hearing about him.

i think i'm really against banning in general. i mean besides spam bots. i feel like everybody should be able to handle themselves. sort of like anarchy except with a god to kill spam bots.

That could have an adverse effect. People are driven away when an unwanted member is allowed to stay and post crappy things. Losing one to keep many is the mindset here.

Spot on. Constant flame wars don't attract new members either.

I love flame wars.

really? it seems like the internet is the opposite of real life. like when two people start fighting generally that gathers a crowd rather than dispersing one.

I guess they attract a certain type of member yet dispel another.

Flawed logic and beguiling grammar are my kryptonite. Excuse me for not blindly accepting the universal validity of your reckonings.

Regardless, if forums are truly dying, then let's go out in style! I'll grab the fuzz-guitars, you grab the go go boots!

Amen sista!

did you try googling it?

Too busy watching a movie. I'll give you the honor of googling it yourself.

Twitter Myspace and I'll Google all over your Facebook.

Alright well if you're busy don't let me hold you up. Just know that Google has the answer.

Hey, this is your argument here. It's not my job to find sources for you. And besides, i'm not even in opposition to your sentiments, so you can stop trying to convert me. I just like cracking jokes when people state things as if they're facts, while providing no sources, and then ask other people to check the facts for them.

i googled it for both of you, but you'll each have to forward $5 to my paypal for the sources

I think forums will survive as long as people want them to, or need them. There were a few times this place could have almost gone under, but people rolled up their sleeves, got to work and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz wha? Where was I?
:D

Seriously, as long as people want these forums they will make them work. If that wasn't the case this place would have closed down long ago. It's one of the reasons why I came back after my absence. Facebook? Twitter? **** that. I want to be able to converse with people in more than single lines or pictures, and do more than compare what we had for dinner.

Note: The above is an extract taken from Trollheart's new e-book "Everything I know and hate about social media", out now, price negotiable. Hardcover, 17 pages. Contains many full-colour picture of what he has for dinner.

at 10k followers, my instagram consists of nothing but screencaps of trollheart's posts

Thats 16.5 more pages than I'd care to know myself.

Well, if I'm honest, 16 pages are taken up by pictures of beefburgers, shepherd's pies and sausage rolls.... :shycouch: And the odd stew

Well in that case...

I want to give Trollheart a good woman and lottery winnings.

I was just thinking about you woman. Where have you been. I missed you. Sexy.

RoxyRollah: Made fun of mordwyr being over sensitive last night, so **** yeah you're awesome

Bah, getting a little bored of this place lately. Still haven't gotten a new computer and it makes meaningful discussion a pain in the ass.

Soon. Very soon.
