Once there was a time when to be called fanboi was an embarrassment and cause for reflection, rather than a reason to debate. Also, FUD was never put into the news.

My positive suggestion...the news section might do better withan editor, someone who will review and take responsibility for the journalistic content.

Easy! Rhino(no pun intended) Been here for a VERY long time(longer than most) and seen this place go up and down. Seen good changes and bad. My fair share of trolls and times where my feelings on this site where that I would never come back.

But then it goes back up again and hey I like qubit's fresh angle on news I don't get why he is taking so much flack over it(not saying you) He brings something different to the news here that I personally welcome.

Whats wrong with out forums?

The arguments about the news section now

Its just one person on the news team that has a different style.

Stop being so picky, If you can ignore biased/opinion/trolls on a regular thread yet still read the information.
Why cant you do it with news also?

But hey, Its news.

Try to please everyone, and often it will end up pleasing no one.
Theres nothing wrong with the journalistic content,its as good as anywhere on the net, if not better, the only problem is with all the whining and bitching and constant bullying going on over nothing.

From my perspective, it reaks of "conform or die" type mentality,

ie "how dare you have your own perspective or opinion" How dare you challenge the status quo"

sorry if this may confront some people, but im all for news that seeks to challenge common perception and opinion, and i see it as courageous and honest to oneself, when many others are too afraid to voice any dissent from the norm in our day and age.[seems to me like its the "fanbois" who complain the most, theyre corporations, not our long lost cousins,get over it!}

Time for folks to give the fellow a break, its disgusting and totally not necessary.

When you go to CP or Newposts and people have replied possibly many times after your post to have a button you press ( like the one to go to last poster ) but goes to your last post..

As far as I'm aware, the Polish people are and always have been welcome on TPU, nor have I witnessed any discrimination towards long shafts of wood.

nvm news posts, whats wrong with the FORUMS is all the childish, constant bickering that goes on in just about ANY thread (inc this one). I, for one find it hard to even read most forum posts as 1/2 of the posts have nothing to do with the thread topic.

That's basically what it does, except it takes you to the "first unread post". So, if you post in a thread then leave, come back later and click that button, it'll bring you to the first post after yours.

The problem with it being the first "unread" post though is that every time you log out, it seems to mark everything as read.

You guys are great.

NdMk2o1o, I've "fallen out" with erocker in the past and had a good rant at him in public or PM's, only to realize later that it's all a bit of a misunderstanding, quite often on my part and then we're all good again.

And I'm quite happy to send a PM grovelling my apologies, too.

Happy New Year everyone!

Keep on topic folks. Read the OP and post something relevant if needed. If what you need is not relevant to this thread, search for a thread on a similar subject or create a new thread.

Thank you.

You can still access the old one. And moving it to another separate site was a good idea. Keeps the madness away. Doesn't bother me.
