Too popular...?

cdawall · Dec 11, 2007

i think this thread is becoming nothing more than a place for ppl to troll (not naming names) about the clubs and that not ok

just FYI the teen club works well enough for me i have helped a couple of the members in that thread alone and since there are always people there if i dont get a response to my thread i post in that one to get an answer quicker

IMO if you dont like the damn clubs dont visit the club section thats why it was formed so stop all your damn pissing and moaning about something that isnt YOUR problem

This site - from when I first joined - was always both tech and personality. If you lose personality, you've lost the soul.

I know this is about growing pains which is a good thing... but NEVER get rid of general nonsense. I didn't like it when the GN posts were removed from the front page, but there was a lot of crap (I'm guilty too). Those were good times - it was entertainment.

I guess we all have to be thankful that our posts aren't full of ads and the moderators are quite cool ummm, for the most part

. Try going over to THG and look at the forums there - I swear you are looking at a full-page ad instead of an intelligent or entertaining thread.

Anyone else bored of this thread? Let's give it a rest and leave it

I say it again, and urge people to stop posting if they agree with the sentiment.

cdawall · Dec 11, 2007

one more rant!

oh and to the member that mentioned that they have been here longer than another thats BS and they know it no one cares if you have been a member form the start if your an asshole (not saying that you are). it is not fair to call someone out who has been here for 1 week just bc they are a new member! Everyone was a new member at one point in time you are NO better than anyone else if you are going to tell someone they are not good enough just because you have been here longer. we have people like that in high school they are called sophmores. :roll:

and no im not a freshman im a junior

craigwhiteside · Dec 11, 2007

you think one of the mods should close the thread

cdawall · Dec 11, 2007

i dont care if they close this thread im out of here people are acting all supiorer and that shit pisses me off.

-cdawall out

panchoman · Dec 11, 2007

you're on fire cda! man, you've summed up some very good points there. and craig, mods are watching, i guess they'll close it when they feel this thread has gotten out of control, and by looking at the nature of this thread, that wont take that long ll

vega22 · Dec 11, 2007

i just lurk and get new quotes for my sigs from threads like this.

im not a old member but i have been reading tpu for about 2 years, it has changed but not much, alot of it was like us and them. now that seems to have gone and we all get along. the clubs are just like gangs and they arent good for the whole imho as they segregate the comunity and that can cause friction.

tbth i think the mods do a great job of keeping the bs to as little as pos and they get rid of the idiots as soon as they need too, but we should keep all the funnies and that in the gn and leave the other threads to those who need help, as its giving and getting help that brings us all here. the reviews are great as we can have feedback from those who get there hands on the stuff before we can (hell thats why i got my case) and the software and mirrors are a godsend somedays, damm i just realise how good this site is

keep up the good work as we'd all be lost without you.

WhiteLotus · Dec 11, 2007

i would just like to say that i think this forum and its people rocks

i came here looking for an answer, i got it and then didn't really plan on staying around, but the tech advice and the chilled out threads that people made encouraged me to stay. I'm learning new things almost daily and finding out loads of new products that i wouldn't have a clue about had i not stayed.

the reviews are awesome! some of the best ones i have seen - seriously you guys do a fantastic job.

the GN threads, some of them are really good. i had a problem and i posted on here not expecting much but then TPU very own thermo 480 came to the rescue.

seriously:
this forum, its members and staff>all

craigwhiteside · Dec 11, 2007

Anyway you look at it, though - I don't see what the argument is. This thread is just another waste of server space, IMHO.

Don't know how many of you have noticed this, but while popularity is a great thing, it also hurts the actual TPU community a little bit. We really can't be silly and fun anymore, except for the general nonsense section, but even there things are being shot down...

Bittersweet isn't it.

I am part of an automotive forum that was fantastic until it got publicized in a magazine, and now I don't frequent it because it picked up some bad personalities and scammers in the classifieds. It is sad, but I don't see that real bad on this forum. Then again I have only been around about a year.

nope they stayed at the other campus to finish off there last year

hat · Dec 12, 2007

Pah, about sophomores...
I am one myself, and I've seen this happen so easily:
In my freshman year, all I heard was other freshman bitching about the upperclassmen, they get to do everything, blah blah... now that they're sophomores, they target the freshman for being bitchy and whiney. "stupid freshman, gtfo my lunch table"

:shadedshu

Vincent11 · Dec 12, 2007

how do you post threads, cheers

3991vhtes · Dec 12, 2007

No freshmen here (Im one) b1tch about the upperclassmen being able to do everything. for everything, there is a Freshman "insert activity/sport here"

WTF! If you want to act the fool, just keep it in the 'General Nonsense' section, its simple really.

Most TPU members like a laugh and a joke, but the really silly stuff is quite rightly kept in the 'General Nonsense' section.
