You got the essence of the board in one shot- Have some fun and maybe learn something!!!
Great post!!!

Well after that post, I think the thread is summed up.

Good post IJ!

ffs.its only a forum.......theres a lot more serious things in life.the way i see it is.......some guys have been here 3,4,5, years.... these guys are in the "in" thats life ....its the same on all forums......
jees we sit behind a monitor 1000s of miles away from each other and we know how to wind each other up !!!!!! thats the fun element of being a member.......
as for being a newbie and finding it hard to settle in.....it takes time ....its like starting a new job.....you will never be accepted straight away.....i suppose you have to "prove " yourself.....
jees i know guys on here that are here 3,4 and 5 years and post very little....these guys i often chill with in phkt....these guys arent in the "so called click" on the board but are great guys none the less......
as for "being a bm/just posting" every guy is different.....some guys post.......some guys read.....and some guys do nothing at all !!!!
i post ..coz i like to post and ill keep on posting as long as they are within the "posting laws" of this forum.....
at the end of the day....this is only a forum.on the internet....we are here to have fun and to try and give advice when possible.........some guys are going to be happy.....some guys are not !!!!!!
so guys.......just let your fingers do the walking.........oh well......rant over .........

ij

well said that baldy irish git

Well, if this all the real board members, not many of us are there? Or haven't the bars closed yet?
BTW, Jayb, how was breakfast, or was that dawsey? Can't remember.....................nurse!

When i saw this treath for the first time i thought this is not a discussion i wanna get involved in (someone that wants to prove he is a real boardmember and some others aren't) so i just didn't read it. Now out of curiousity i read the last page and it is exactly what i expected it to be. And when i read IJ's post it sumps up exactly what already crossed my mind by just reading the title. Well done IJ.

So, you're saying you read the last page of a thread and think you fully understand the spirit of the topic then?? Crikey...you obviously missed the plot.

I think IJ did a nice summary as well, and one that should be remembered by all... that this is a discussion board. And, if you try to make it much more than that then you will hit some bumps along the way... If you find yourself getting emotional before you post, then maybe take a step back. Maybe...

I've been guilty of such at times in the past...

i would say that at 7k posts, im pretty invested in this board
but as much as when the keyboard is in front of me, or killing time in work when im slow
i really enjoy the board and the friends i have met
but it doesnt alter my life in anyway(again, except for the friends i have met from the board)

The entertainment is not guaranteed, wakeboy, be grateful when the boys on the board provide it, it depends on their mood. The basic idea of a forum is information provided free from these venerable gentlemen, and what a lot there is. There aren't many things in the world for free. Enjoy.

I knew i shouldn't have get involved. Sorry RobRoy but i don't really understand why your saying this to me. Or what you mean.

Butt .... as far as i see it:

The forum is we / us / everybody.

So what's the problem with understanding? It's all here for the taking, I can't even count the number of good threads there for the grazing and the old guard are good for a chuckle when they're on form. Maybe this is just not one of their better days. I repeat, enjoy.

You have to be involved to be in.

IRISH JONNY · #**198** 21-03-2007, 22:48
