I think the spamming keeps everyone positive, tbh. It's not like every post is spam or anything, we just have fun here and it's not a strict forum. I think mainly because a majority of us came from WF where we weren't monitored really at all, we spammed, joked, had fun, and helped out all at the same time.

Well if people would actually reply to shit, these threads wouldn't have to be made. What's the point in joining a forum if you're just going to look at stuff and not reply but maybe 3 or 4 times in a month? I try to reply to mostly everything. The only thing I refuse to reply to is the jackoffs that lurk, then post a micro expecting to get replies to it. Why should I reply to their posts when they can't even put forth the effort to reply to things that people who actually care about activity post? And excuse us for spamming a little? We're not uptight assholes; this isn't MIB. First off stop getting so defensive. I'm not making excuses for lurkers, i find it just as annoying, im just saying these threads are usually pointless. If you dont wanna reply to lurker's stuff thats fine, most dont And seeing as your venting about how annoying lurkers are, whats wrong with people venting about how they find the spam annoying?

no, just the tone of your post in general.

Text on teh interwebz can have tone? Yes. Even the same phrase can be construed differently, depending how you type it. For example, I love chocolate = I genuinely do love it and want some. I LOVE CHOCOLATE = I'm retarded/drunk.

Gav...you are by far my favorite member ever. Your posts are always thought out and make me giggle like a boy who just saw boobs for the first time.

Nah, you post every now and then and make micros for shows every now and then too. Lurkers are those who just log on, but never post, and never compete in shows.

And lamers are the ones who log in, enter in shows, fail to make a micro and still want people to pay attention to them

You complain about us "lurkers", but when we do explain our side you go all mad. I don't get it. Alex has a point, at the end of the day, these threads does not really help and just creates tension. I remember months ago I used to post a lot and a lot of you did not post as much, I don't recall bitching and bitching and bitching about it. I don't know what the hell the situation was during your MIB days, but random spam in threads that are actually for discussion (ex. Diablo-Next Gen's little "feud" of insults) ARE annoying to read. If you want some discussion, then discuss, don't spam.

I don't reply unless needed. I actually find it disappointing how some of you just posts in the sake of posting without even adding any discussions. Just some random spam. But meh, that's just me. i know what you mean, and ill admit i have posted some pointless replies etc but we like to joke around at times and i dont really see the problem in that
