Looks to me like the ones who agree with him are being more vocal. I didn't say most people disagree, just lots. That may even be wrong, but if it's only a few people that disagree then his reaction is even more pathetic.

Boofuckinghoo I say.

Shut the fuck up you set of hipocritical wankers. Do you see me bitching and fucking leaving? Well yes, but that's besides the point. It seems to me that the people agreeing are those that feature in yuck's beautiful post or those that don't have a single opinion of their own. What exactly are you agreeing with? His complaint about the IQ of the posters or about his opinions on iraq? This forum is the only one I post on and it'd probably be a better place if I didn't. I still consider alot of the guys here 'friends' and my online gaming experience would have been nothing without them. You know who you are KEA boys. That said, this place has died on its arse. You just can't have a good argument here anymore. Bring back death by terminal diseases.

Sorry if I offended anyone I like. I don't even recognise half the bloody names anymore. I think I've been away too long.

Don't take this too seriously... it's my favourite type of thread and thought it'd be a good opportunity to swear and moan.

/edit

after re-reading my post I have no idea what my point was. I think I must summarise by saying:

"Die of something and feature in the fallen thread"

I think this place is just a morgue for ex-gamers.

Used to be good fun when people gave a fuck :)

I thought this was a thread about Deebs and his protein explorations.
Robbed I tell you, robbed.

It's funny. Way back in BarryDays I launched myself into this community with a cringe-worthy but thoroughly well-intentioned contribution to the 'Rise and Fall of BarrysWorld Forums' thread.

I was obliterated by Perplex in the argument, being cited as one of those who had joined the board and contributed shit all. Though, I really didn't get why he was so upset. Now, I sorta do... but I'm still not sure.

In summary (keep with me), these debates of thread quality and member contributions have been going on since day one and this elusive era of vibrant, intelligent and challenging discussion is potentially, nostalgia.

In a second summary (as you can see, my thoughts aren't yet coherent on the subject, but we're getting there), I still keep an eye on these forums and read fairly regularly (not sure why, I just do, okay?). But, the only time I've contributed substantially was when I was shockingly bored at college.

So, in conclusion (sorry about this), I'd say dip in and out, take the rough with the smooth, take the cliché with a cliché and just enjoy the forum on a more casual basis, like tennis.

Ok, I'm rusty on the posting front.

Even when I joined people were whinging about how lame the forums were now compared to last week :)

It's the ever persistant cycle of BW/FH.

Joy/revelry/new faces/old faces hate new faces/politics/disapproval/old face claims "Everything is shit"/disappearances/reappearances/Wij reveals some dark inner secret, or fetish, or bodily fluid disaster/mating season/the ressurection of the desktop thread/someone posts granny porn and gets banned/there is a campaign to reinstate them/amusing photoshop session/Daily Mail gets slagged off/Go Back to stage one. All we're lacking is a lion cub held aloft and some bollock shrivelling musical number to play over the top.

I don't object to the Fallen Forum. It means a lot to some people who post here, and to the families of those who did, and it doesn't cause me any inconvenience. I think it would be a lot better as a seperate forum in the top bar, rather than bundled in with the rest, because a) hopefully it won't get used very often, b) it makes it feel more of a formalised structured addition to the place than a tagged on sub forum and c) it's human nature to not really want to combine socialising and mourning/reminders of morbidity in the same place. Also, the name Freddie's Fallen is a very RPG type name to use, whuch is of course a lovely gesture as all those who are currently remembered in there were from MMORPGS, but I should imagine that those who aren't roleplayers and are a dash more prone to know their campers from their rogues probably wouldn't feel it a suitable place to remember them in, simply from the title. Which is possibly another reason that it feels slightly out of place holding it in General.

The politics in this place is a little hairy sometimes, but that's the way internet debates always are. You guys that are grumbling haven't got to worry, like a lightning rod I shall divert all political negativity - I actually read the Daily Mail (among other papers - I'm a bit obsessive about reading. You should see my recycling bag collection at the end of the fortnight). According to this forum, reading The Daily Mail is as bad as punching babies whilst wearing puppy skin gloves. Truth is, I could never be bothered saying it before because I didn't much fancy hearing how I obviously shoot immigrants in my spare time and close mines whilst dressed as Maggie Thatcher, which I suppose does say something about the whole politics/arguing here on the forums: you can tell by how much I can ramble on that I don't usually hold back on an opinion :) Somedays you just can't be arsed to argue your way into a frenzy over everything and nothing, so I just side step. Maybe I'm mellowing. Or just getting lazy.

Anyway Yuck, you won't stay away. Soon we'll be back in Wij season, or desktop season, or superimposing Mystic G's head onto the body of a meer cat season, and everything will start back at square one.

In the nicest possible way, since he probably won't reply...

Actually, I can't put together a coherent response. I'm tired, my sleep cycle is all over the place, and I've got to work in the morning.

But leaving because they put up a sub-forum, and didn't move it elsewhere the instant you objected? Seriously?

Most threads here seem like a local Tory association love in (with fewer replacement hips) to me, since my views are way way way to he left of what is posted here. This doesn't mean I'm going to quit, because even though some threads are shite, there is occasionally a genius thread that keeps me amused for weeks.

Round of sandwiches, anyone?

I really feel I should reply with cutting and moving arguments, since I bothered to log on at all at this hour.

Shame.

The internet is full of wankers like moo and there's nothing we can do about it.

After consideration I have decided the following.
This is supposed to be a gaming forum. Gaming is entertaining and a pleasurable activity. I don't want to look at an obituary when I go to a gaming forum....

It seems to be populated by liberal, politically correct, arguementative, illiterate and mentally challenged wasters....

It isn't possible to discuss things here anymore, because these fuckers are so retarded that they cannot understand a rational argument or are too afraid to express their real views on such a vegetarian forum.

Valid points, but make your mind up. Your complaining about the appearance of an obituary on a gaming forum, where you seek entertainment and escapism, but you also wish to discuss political/emotional and other serious issues on the same 'gaming forum'. :S

To be honest, it is what it is, a gaming forum, sure, gamers have views and oppinions on issues relating to life, however im sure there are plenty of other forums where you can discuss in depth with highly interlectual, intelligent and mature people.

People just need to lighten up tbh, some things are taken so seriously :eek7:

Staz is still lurking here.

Staz loves Yuck, he speaks much sense.

Staz also loves Throd and Trem and Wij and many others. (Not so sure about leggy tbh).

Staz will never vote BNP because of what happened in Germany in the 30's.

Staz would also like to fluffle mank, because even if we invade another country and the reasons were a bit missplaced, it was better than leaving that nut job Saddam in charge, and this doesn't make us fascists.

Staz agrees with the notion that this place has become much like the rest of the net, in that its populated by tossers.

Staz is writing in this way because its 4am, he's been DJ'ing, he's been chatted up all night by a gorgeous 18 year old bird, he hasn't shagged her because of Mrs Staz, he's above the legal limit and he needs to concentrate one line at a time.

Sorry, I've stumbled across this thread so I'm trying to answer what I think the questions are. I need sleep.

Oh get a fucking grip ffs yuck. Not everyone in life agrees with everyone, the fact this is a forum means people should be able to argue their views. You post reads as "I didnt get my way so I'm spitting my dummy out".

To be fair, if thats how you feel then fine, but it seems like a stupid reason to me.

Good luck Yuck. Your are one of the very few honest wysiwyg persons on this forum. I totally understand why you want to leave.

I too will soon be leaving. For the past year I visited this forum less and less and although never a prolific poster over the past 6 years, Im now only making 1 or 2 posts a week at most. Once I break the habit of visiting the forum Im gone. I guess its an age thing. Im getting too wound up about some of the peoples posts in here and the lack of respect certain people have for others opinions. Its just not my cup of tea.

Yuck, chill man. If I worried about agreeing with people all the time I'd have left this place years ago. Saying rude things to and about people was what the internet was invented for. I just wish some of the really argumentative people were still posting; there was a time when you actually learned something.

well, for me, the "Fallen" forum is just another forum on the list. I dont visit half the forums which appear here - so whats one more that I dont visit?

just seems ironic to me that, at the moment, all the "Fallen" listed contain links to posts within the DAOC forums, which I am not subscribed to and therefore cannot see them.

Personally, if you dont want to see them, dont go there. Maybe im just a bit too laid back.

Hope I never appear in there.

That was just him, you got used to it in the end....or just ignored him.

For a long while now I've just done flying visits, have a little read and maybe post the odd comment.

you find most of the shit comes from the DAoCers to be perfectly honest, i've rarely strayed onto the general forums and the like, but its never been for me. When i read the obituary forum i was genuinly shocked at some of the people that've passed away in the last few years, i'm glad someones taken the time to remember them and also allowed others to see (perhaps not knowing) Freddyshouse is a BIIIG community and is based on games, where there are games - there are kids too!

You dropped down my hero list a bit(you know, due to lack of sister pics), you are right back up there at number 2 again now, right behind Kam who is also a jock but he did show me a sister pic.

I miss you luv :(

Edited to say - stroppy jock fuck :D

I personally ain't a huge fan of the Freddy's Fallen thing on the main page. If I pass on to the great coffee shop in the sky whilst i'm posting here, I personally wouldn't want a rememberance thread on here. I'd hope that those who knew me would remember me without prompting, and to those who didn't I'd just be a dead random. I certainly wouldn't want it at the top of the main forum to depress the living piss out of all and sundry who visit the place. Surely considering all the dead yins were DAOC'ers, wouldn't it be better in the DAOC forum somewhere?

On a totally random note does anyone fancy goin Amsterdam? I'm pretty bored at work and need something to do.....
