Do you know someone who's war-chest ran out?

[Churchill]

If we just do a forum where Northernlad is banned from I predict a doubling in posts from newbies.

All asking the same bloody questions!

[mudskipper]

You've upset our admin!

Don't you know what happened to the last poster who upset our admin?

Good luck mate - you're gonna need it....

Had there been a promise of gladiators or gladiator related previously then I would have refrained from my long-winded post.

If I reach 100 posts do I receive a gladiator memento?

[Old Greg]

Nah hold on, he's got a point... For quite some time I have thought "No", enough is enough. There is too much bickering in General. There are cliques and cosy little groups of people who know each other's humour too well and this really does put off new people from coming on to the site. Wouldn't it be great if we could all just get along together, be nice, be open, warm and welcoming to new comers and treat everyone who uses the forum with respect. Yes, even those ******** idiots who ask the most stupid questions and expect a sensible answer. Why do we pick on new people the way we do? Is it some kind of herd mentality where this kind of behaviour is deemed acceptable? This lad is spot on and for once we have an apparent Scot who isn't full of bile and viciousness. I tell you what, let's say a big ***** you to the past decade of the forum being the way it is and listen to this guy. If he says all the smart arse comments should be in Light Relief then let's put them in Light Relief and see what happens. Maybe we could also move some of the questions from the professional areas of the site into General and have some proper discussions in here about contracting rather than the dull unfunny tulip that gets spouted every day. So come on. LET'S DO THIS!! We could make him a new mod too so he can show us how the forum should be run. HIGH FIVES ALL ROUND!!








Not

So come on Dundee - do you like films about gladiators?

BTW, this thread would have fitted nicely in "Business / Contracts" and we would then have worked to keep the thread on topic. As it is you can see some good answers in this thread mixed with some light-hearted banter. This forum has been around in one shape or other for over 10 years now. The groups you see as cliques are people who do kind of know each other and will take the piss. Join in or don't, but don't expect the forum to bend to your way of thinking just because it matches your stereotypical view of how a forum should function.



You know we loves ya really

Shut it you slag.

Nope 5000 posts is the minimum for gladiator based moments. Until then don't lick the chutney spoon and remember to bleed your radiators

How dare he malign the Scots like that. You hold him down, I'll do the kicking.
