I was to the point of begging him to get help for his drinking, I was struggling myself at the time too... The post was removed.
I'm not meaning anyone in particular when I say that either, but I saw the humour the tales of his behaviours caused.
Anyway that was just how I saw it, best not to make this a scott discussion thread.

It'd be less depressing if Glenn wasn't ERE!!!!

<war>

I find that when I visit a forum where the main focus is one subject-be it big brother, some singer, actor, sport stars-someone always starts a thread saying the forum has lost it's spark during "off season" :joker:

Wow mean, I used to get on with scott. :(


Yeah how did he get banned? And zippy never came back. Shame.

Zippy was a mess, good riddance

So did I. I still found him a bit much. Not a reflection on him as a person - because I don't know anything about his issues - just a reflection of his posts.

Don't find that mean myself at all personally but to each their own. I'm sure he was banned for a reason.

Zippy :love:

..no, TiBB doesn't depress me at all, I find that when I get 'irritated' more or notice it being quieter more is usually when I'm not working..holidays/half term etc..so it's not really anything different on TiBB, just my perspective of it because it becomes more of a focus if I'm not doing anything else and the habit is to log on...once I go back to work and I have my 'balance' back which I need, the sun starts to shine on TiBB once again...

..I think for me, because my OH doesn't get so much time off work as I do and the boys are older and doing their own thing most of the time..the school holidays can become like a 'monthly period' and I get grumpy/bored/restless/irritated and then it's like pfffft, with your top 10s, Shaun..:idc:...

forums cant make you depressed then your depressed anyway lol

The forum keeps crashing for me this morning. :suspect:

:hugesmile:

This forum must have been a wonderful place filled with sunshine and rainbows and unicorns before the likes of me turned up.

Charming.

It's a forum why would anyone come on here if it depressed them :conf: It is bound to change as people move on with their lives. As for banned members surely the people who were friendly with them can contact them outside the forum, and if they can't how good a "friend" can they be.

Agreed. Everyone is welcome in here. I like the new members, even if we don't always agree on things. :)

Well that's you off my Christmas card list:nono:

In principle yes but I disagree in practicality.

A lot of new members have to do a lot to get 'noticed' unless they cosy up with one of the favourites or spark up something controversial.

I was practically a ghost until I lit the touch paper on that H.M.S Samuel thread.

It's hard to be a new member for everyone. But i think after a while you start to get used to the forum. :hugesmile:

Well isn't that true of life in general, you get noticed if you speak to people or start good threads/conversations? Sitting in a corner saying nothing is never going to get you noticed on a forum :laugh:

Well saying nothing would leave your post count at a big fat zero.

If I see new members or members that have few posts to their name I bump their threads to give them air time.

:flowers: :angel:

We all need a bit of help now and then.

i prefer to skulk and sneak in the shadows thats a good tip for new members. sneak n skulk then pounce on the precious lol and say wakey wakey sleepies

That's great, I do try to make an effort to speak to newer members as well but I think it's unfair to say you need to "cosy" up to one of the favourites to get noticed it makes the place sound like some type of a cartel and it's simply not true either (whoever the favourites are) I think most of our regular members here love to see good and interesting new members and like to speak to new people, it's what forums are about really

I've seen new members blamed for the apparent sundering of this forum. We will disagree I know that but it's just my opinion.
