pffft. limiting posts wouldn't work at all. it is how it is because the other 900+ don't have or are lacking in balls. Originally Posted by JustMeCLTXGGOr they could be here just to get laid and not to converse with a bunch of asspipes?
Since 2 to 3% do 80% of the posting, if you try to post to the forms and it happens to be a subject one of the 2 to 3% feels like attacking you for the others tend to chime in as well - it can make a new poster feel pretty unwelcomed.................... .............................. ..............because the other 970-980 are sitting quietly on the sidelines wanting to speak, but afraid that they will be attacked too........................... .............................. ..........So, most stop posting and leave the 2% to devour their next new victim........................ ........................

what if the noob had a point? You proved it right there. It took me awhile to get a thicker skin to where I'd answer back to that comment. Yeah the poll was a train wreck, so was my first thread........................ .............................. ................... Originally Posted by H.Hardhat

That would mean that what both of them said was factual. I've been here long enough to know that it's not. There's alot to be said about a self-culling herd.you might say it's not factual but from what I know from PM's I've gotten it is at least partially factual. do I care? not really because I don't have a problem speaking up whether or not I agree. I seriously doubt anyone that doesn't care to post because of not wanting to be roasted would PM you or other members they take as less than friendly.
Plenty of newbies come and don't have a problem with being accepted, it's only the ones that post moronic things that get ridiculed. Case in point ^^ your two examples above.
I would dare to speculate that none of the adults here are "afraid" to speak up. That's an excuse said 'tards make up for why no one runs to their rescue afterwards.
There are enough lurkers here whose handle you never see unless they send you a pm that gives plenty of business. Why? Because they don't read anything but ads and reviews; they're here to get laid. That's the target market I always catered to, and what keeps most of the chicas here in high heels. Originally Posted by Hottentot Venus

Since 2 to 3% do 80% of the posting, if you try to post to the forms and it happens to be a subject one of the 2 to 3% feels like attacking you for the others tend to chime in as well - it can make a new poster feel pretty unwelcomed. You tend to forget that the people bad mouthing you are a tiny percentage of the total population, because the other 970-980 are sitting quietly on the sidelines wanting to speak, but afraid that they will be attacked too. And nobody wants a negative reputation on a local board, because it might effect your seeing new talent. So, most stop posting and leave the 2% to devour their next new victim. The only thing that will reverse this trend is set a limit on the number of posts you can make a day - forcing the 2 to 3 % to choose what to say and when and limiting the attacking and crap comments, because you don't want to waste one of your comments on just spitting out bullshit, or the MOD's have to step in and make sure the mob stays under control. As long as you just let the beasts run wild you are going to have a jungle and civilized people are going to live somewhere else. Heck ... if the point of a board is to just let people run wild then why even have mod's in the first place?

you might say it's not factual but from what I know from PM's I've gotten it is at least partially factual. do I care? not really because I don't have a problem speaking up whether or not I agree. I seriously doubt anyone that doesn't care to post because of not wanting to be roasted would PM you or other members they take as less than friendly.Heh, friendly? I'm very friendly thank you very much. I'm just have a short tolerance for idiots and I'm not particularly nice when expressing that fact. I would venture to say that most of the people who some others have expressed aren't "friendly" enough, probably has the most advice/experience to offer, you only have to be seated in reality to receive it.
no one said anything about some newbies not being to hang. case in point the examples you mentioned. Hardhat spoke up and continues to speak. he didn't let anything get to him. that was another point.
I'll admit "afraid" as my lacking in balls post could be taken might be to general a term.
as for "reading" ad's and reviews. well that's used pretty loosely with some of them. something else I know from PM's.
ha, ha. you do realize these days, everyone does win a trophy I hope. or that's how things are trying to be done/taught without going into a discussion about a forbidden topic
the second part. we've had the conversation. it ain't happening. Originally Posted by JustMeCLTXGG
