CUK Spring Bash

[TheFaQQer]

Hardly any of the conversation is about the board and some of us have some constructive discussions about contracting.

Well, there's naff all discussion of it in General - might as well do it somewhere

I was a regular poster in a Usenet group from about 1998. We all used to have a right go at each other over various topics on discussion. Posters used to give it as good as they got it from others.

For some reason an idea was floated about a meetup which was attented by pretty much all the major posters, about 25 of us met and talked as if we knew each other for decades.

The unfortunate outcome was that the usenet group was never the same after that. Posters started to treat others with respect and so the lively discussions became dull and boring and eventually it went dead within a year of the meet up.

I see that as a huge negative - & it would explain why there appears to be a clique of posters on this board - presumably you all want to get along with someone you met at one of these do's.

Can you imagine how hard it is to moderate people you socially meet over drinks?

To hard.. blame the people you havent met.. path of least resistance.

I should go to a CUK event.

maybe, if we have a large population, spread around. un meet upp able

I think that you underestimate Cojack and RH.

</creep>

Seriously for a moment, I have met them both and am confident in their ability to be completely impartial. I wouldn't think the same about everybody.

I said the same thing, but recent events have shaken that confidence.

I can give specific examples.

SuitYou01 has given me an idea.

CUK RLM's need a theme.

How about:

CUK Spring Troll Fest '10

[RichardCranium]

Oh dear

I see Xen, Diver and gingerjedi.

Which RLM was that?
