There's a dark underbelly to these boards I never knew about...................intricate plots and subplots......
All involving Mokkly it seems.

reading this thread really fucking drained me.
the thing is people.....it's all about humour and having fun. it's a fucking stupid and antisocial thing to do anyways to sit and chat with people on the interweb.....so it should not be taken seriously.
and i might add that any incongruence between the bands this place loves and the denizens of this hell-hole is directly related to someone a long time ago doing something really fucking stupid and insensitive....and shit....that water went under the bridge ages ago.
so chill out........and maybe go outside once in a while.
also i might add that the love between me and mokkly is more on the brotherly side, whereas mokkly and heterologicals love is strictly anal.

1) I've read multiple references to Mark and members of the Twilight Singers and Gutter Twins taking issue with the board. But again, I don't know the whole story and why it is that this board's been on the brink of deletion and an object of contempt in the past. Maybe there was some crisis that's blown over and it's no longer an issue. 2) I'm fascinated by how people relate to one another, whether it is in a gentle or an openly hostile manner. I'm drawn to conflict and enjoy throwing myself into it as well. I don't really think this place needs fixin's either. You should take note that I am not the person that initiated this thread or many other conversations about the negativity or hostility here. It's a community-identified issue that makes many people here uncomfortable. I've dealt with it when it's been directed at me but generally can roll with it, else I wouldn't have stuck around. However, again, I do think some of it's unnecessary. But it also just is what it is, and I'm cool with that. I did initiate this thread because i do feel there's some people not returning and there's some people irritated with others. The intent of this thread was to ask why people enjoy coming here, what they would like to see different and what it is that would make them decide to leave the board. I seriously think you are making this out to be much more than it is. You choose words that imply a lot more than what has actually been happening here. When you say the board has been "on the brink of deletion and an object of contempt in the past", where do you get these things? On the brink of deletion as far as i know is about raeni trying her best to prevent people from posting downloadable official releases, so that the board doesn't get a bad name and so that she feels the board can stay up. Thats about it. Maybe i wasn't looking and missed some terrible war going on here, but to the best of my knowledge it's never been more than some people fuckin up with stupid comments, some people antagonizing others to get a rise, some people trolling and doing the tourette's thing but that's about it. So yes: this is a forum and it is supposed to be fun. I started the topic because i would enjoy it if there was more communication, by which i mean more responses to what people say, so that we get less threads where person a says something, person b says something completely different, person c starts a total new subject, and nobody replies to anything that is shared. That, to me, could make this place a nicer place to hang out. Now we're about 8 pages further down the line. theres so much info on this thread i am having a hard time keeping up with what is being said I don't think i've ever started a thread to go on this long..... woah.

Sticky Bumps is board wax. It smells like a tropical something. I love it because if I surf I can smell it on me for the rest of the day.

This thread hasn't half sucked the fun out of me of late...
I have to say that, down to one reason or another, this board has become an absolute dick to moderate of late. Since volunteering to do this, I have not had one full week where I have either had to field complaints or occasional abuse via PM and elsewhere (I have had to take down my IM contact details from my profile), or step in to calm something down. It's to be expected I guess when the place has been relatively quiet for so long and then all of a sudden springs into life, but it'd be nice if I could just sit here and chat with my friends like everyone else does without wondering why it's gone rather spiky here recently.
It genuinely pains me when I get messages/emails from very good friends to tell me that they are stepping away from this place because of the atmosphere at times, mostly because I'd rather they were here, but partially because I now feel that this is now somehow my fault, that I haven't been cracking down as much as I should on some people whilst being too harsh on others. I'm a very quiet person, and this job isn't really something that I am naturally good at, but I'd also like to think that 99% of the time I don't actually have to be any good at it because we're all here for similar reasons and we're all old enough to know when we're not quite being as friendly/helpful/respectful as we probably should be. And I definitely include myself in that.
There's no real point to this post, I'm just trying to say publicly what I've been saying to others privately for a couple of weeks. Soppy rant over.

Man.. This place tends to be addictive, so if the peeps who went awol posted a bunch, I'm sure they'll return sooner or later. I did, cus the troll left. Thanks for that btw, mods. Maybe they're lurking around. Come back soon!!! This place's entering spring again and people are getting horny. Fun all around.. Of course when I say 'people' I mean me. But don't let that scare you.

Foz, that was a very insightful post, but it kind of ruined my next childish "sticky bumps" joke. ;D still, i can see why moderating this place would be a pain in the arse at times with everyone wingeing to you and that. i know i couldn't handle it....so big ups to you, man......your man-tomatoes are much larger than mine.

Well, in somewhat of a reply to your post Foz, but mostly to Lungsey's original question...I came here initially because I was becoming more of a Lanefan, and was looking for both more information and more like-minded people.
But I stay here because this is actually one of the friendliest boards that I have been on, and a good size too. Big enough that there's a decent amount of activity, but not too big that there's too much to wade through.
Yes, there are occasional flareups, but compared to some of the other places I hang (rekrek and echoingthesound), I don't generally feel like I need to keep my asbestos panties within reach.
I would hope that the mods wouldn't have to do much more than deal with the obviously unallowed downloads and the hopefully rare person who needs to be banned. I'm sorry to hear that the mod job seems to entail more than that.

I was about to post that this thread is mega-random, and it's supposed to be like that. So DC, go ahead.
And yesh, keep up the good work Foz. I mean, it's your 'job' to be mean to people. i dream of that sometimes, it's the social worker in me..
