Why what? Doesn't mean I want one myself.

I like the option.

Surely such a small active members list makes it a less viable site to run: given that costs are involved in running it?.

No, but we have authority on the actions and behaviours that are acceptable on TiBB, which we do on behalf of the site owners.

Unfortunately 'word of mouth' is one of the most effective advertising methods and people reading those comments - and well, that's not exactly good advertising for Tibb.

I understand that. What I don't understand is how that is related to my comment that I made in respect of how Tibb is being perceived by others - as ''being for kids'' / ''the behaviour'' not being the best advert for the site.

Surely that's irrelevant to me liking off-season and a smaller community during it? By this forums very nature, off season is obviously going to have less active members

No offence Pyramid, but please be quiet for once. It's late, you've debated all day, I'm tired and all I did was answer your sarcastic question over mods owning TiBB.

Why do I feel you are just wanting to debate anything and everything at the moment? It's putting me off talking to you.

That's more polite than what I just deleted

It may be irrelevant to you personally but not it entirety.... can the site be adequately maintained by only short sporadic bursts of high level members posting.

How many times do you hear fms moaning about 'the state of this, the state of that'..... I'd say it was very relative.

It costs money - the site has free membership: if so few members are here - the revenue it will bring in from advertisers and hits to advertisers sites etc will therefore be minimal - as one example of how it impacts on the forum as a whole.

I'm just saying...

My sarcastic reply was in response to MTVNs inital sarcastic reply.

I'm allowed to post - I'm not breaking any rules.

Look I posted agreeing with another member that they enjoyed the site in off season. For some bizarre reason you decided then to jump on my post and try and give some critique of the site, an entirely different topic and one I'm certainly not going to argue with you about at 3.45 in the morning!

For some bizarre reason? I merely gave a comment on how the site was being perceived.

No one is asking anyone to argue, but I'm not going to not ask a question or not put up a post simply because some don't like it, or me.

You'll note that there was humour in other posts I've made on here - those seem to have been ignored.

I never said you were breaking rules, I just asked you nicely to give it a rest. You seem to want to debate anything a mod says at the moment and it's a little annoying, especially if I want to just have a normal convo with you.

I couldn't care less if one DS member thinks of this as a kids forum.

I'll reply to that by saying that it appears that several of the 'some' same mods appear to have nothing but snipes to just about anything I post anywhere - here or on any other thread yet are allowed to continue in such a manner.

I have actually said that DS and Tibb both offer different things.... yet there has been not one agreement on those comment I've made: only the posts I have made, that haven't been as well received.

You did ask nicely, you were incrediby polite about it - 100% agree with you there...... that's one of the reasons I stay here.

Do me a favour at least please? Reign in the attitude sometimes and learn to admit defeat/stand down on occasion, I'm not saying it to be rude, I'm saying it to so we don't have to clash, ok?.

In regards to you feeling that mods are sniping at you, you know that if you have a complaint it needs to be done through the proper channels; the appeals section, where myself, other mods and admin can all glance over it.

I don't think this is very appropriate, it's something that would better be discussed via PM

Vicky. · 15-12-2011, 04:03 AM

I vary between preferring the site off season and liking it on season. Usually depends if my fave is well liked on here or not. Fickle person that I am

I don't think you're being rude at all. I think you're being upfront and I can't fault you.

Deal done. Howzat?

Benjamin · 15-12-2011, 04:06 AM

Done.

-shakes hand-

Now back on topic, I am not a member of DS, but I don't mind the site. I often glance over there for their articles and such.

On season if your fav is loathed must be a nightmare....... you made the right choice this year methinks. Just CBB to go...........
