The Most Unwelcoming Forum I\'ve Ever Visited
 

I have to say I've been on many unfriendly forums in my time, but have usually recieved some sort of welcome by at least one forum member. I asked somebody for a banner yesterday and all I got was "I don't make banners for anyone who hasn't 100+ posts."

I'll probably recieve a torrent of insults for this (and possibly a ban), but I think it's rude not to at least say "Welcome to the forum."

Am I alone in my opinion?

Hello and welcome to tibb its very fun here really you can get some fannys on here but most people are nice im nice i think anyway welcome :D

Yes, there some fannys^ on here, Rice Square. :pat: Anyway

Don't worry, there are other people who make banners.

If this is the person Im thinking about, I recently made a thread about it aswell.

This is EXACTLY what im talking about.
See 'Targeting of certain members'

Don't worry not all of us are nasty bullies:xyxwave:

Thanks for that, Rice_Square. :hug:

I just thought I'd express my opinions (like I usually do) and tell everyone how I felt.

Hello and welcome to this friendly forum how may we help you?

Hello TopzTom, glad to know you and welcome. I am new here to and I haven't got around to sorting a banner either yet. I am aware that there are a few banner makers here. I am sure you just picked the unfriendly banner maker. Just try another one and I am sure the sign on the door will say [Welcome] instead of [Buzz off]

You, too, MarkChap?!, Chrizzle, jackie46 and the_stillness. :hug:

Hello and welcome to tibb!!there ar alot of banner request threads so im sure one of member will make you a banner!

Hey,welcome to the forum topztom,sorry you feel this way.Ive been refused a banner also and ive got over 100 posts!id really like one though,if any one fancies doing it lol.
Hope you find the forum a friendlier place to be from now on:wavey:

wellcome m8

sod the rude ppl cuz theres tuns of other friendly nice ppl

like me and the others

ask matt for a banner his a lagend

Hey TopzTom welcome to the forum. I know how you feel but everyone was new at one stage. There are a few un-friednly people on this forum, but there are loads of helpful, friendly and funny ones to too. I agree it's a bit of a weird rule about the banners. Welcome. :hug:

^I think you missed the point of the thread. LCpl. LOL

Ermmm I think i was Matt that refused him a banner...

Thanks to everyone who's been so lovely and welcoming. I was thinking of not coming back, but you've made me feel much better. Thanks and hello. :wavey:

I think the person who refused to make your banner clearly thinks he is "too good" to be making banners for new people. which I think is unfair.

But...

I think he put that rule up as he gets a lot of requests and doesn't like to make banners for people who he thinks may not stay for long on the forum. You get a lot of members on this forum who stay for about a week then leave, I think he just doesn't want to make loads of banners for them people.


Welcome to the forum to anyway!

TopzTom, I joined this form a couple of months ago and I've always felt welcomed and I welcome you too.

It is the members who make a forum. The good ones who do not want to cause conflict are the ones I tend to post around and I ignore the ones who are there to cause hassle. Simple rules and they work as there are mostly good people here.

No problem TopzTom. I think that banner maker Matt, just had to be a little cautious before spending time making a new banner. Probably the 100 post plus idea is a sensible one, rather than an unfriendly one. I am sure he didn't mean to offend

I also make banners but i dont own a shop but i own photoshop :D

Yeah, so I think you shouldn't take it personally. I am hosting TiBB Does The Apprentice, and I didn't want anyone in the show under 500+ posts to be in it. The reason being , members pass and go, and most only stay on for the duration of Big Brother. I didn't want people signing up who might leave.

A lot of hard work goes into banner making and he is very busy with requests, so dont worry!

I am so sorry you havent had a good experience on TiBB.... we are nice really

I would be glad to make you a banner if you would like one.

Just u2u me if you want and we can have a chat about the type of one you want

oh... and welcome to TiBB xxxx

Aww, the 100 post rule is unfair.. singles out newer members. Just ignore it, there's plenty of other members who would be willing to make you a banner.

And welcome :thumbs:

Well I didn't notic you were here, some members are quite rude but don't mind ! Then welcome to TIBB and join the fun !

Hello and welcome to the forum TopzTom!

Which is exactly the reason I'm not taking requests from users with less that 100 posts. As I said in the thread when I added the new rule:

As the_stillness said, it was intended as a sensible rule, rather than an unfriendly one.

I am profoundly sorry for any offence I have caused.
