Very Disillusioned at Present

rickyrooo1 · Sep 27, 2011

i'm amazed at the amount of folk that are blaming the crash and sniping/cliques for a reason for leaving, i'm on here a lot and i certainly don't see this, sure, at first i found it hard to get motivated because i lost all of my threads on the build up and excitement of getting my van but i took the chance to rebuild and thin it out, i do feel that some of the new members might not get the joke sometimes about my van and the over excited way i introduced myself as they can't read back so that makes it semi cliquey when certain in-jokes are mentioned but i try my hardest to be friendly to all, even sometimes i don't get the joke but that's because i don't camp with the crowds on here at shows so it goes over my head, in those instances i just admire the pictures and skim through the threads, outlaw/dale? i enjoy your modding threads and the input you give, it would be a shame if you go mate as we have a fair few newbies who would benefit from your knowledge.

I have to say I see very little sniping on this site.

I think some people are being a little over precious. This is a site for everyone not just the "oldies".

However, I do think think that trolling type posts along the lines of "How to make your bus Kewl....blah, blah, blah" are a bit of a dig at those that like to try and make THEIR bus a bit different.

Not sure why some people seem to be threatened by someone because they have a flower garland hangin from their rear view window.

i hope my post isn't being quoted as a nagative, i have no beef with anyone on here and the last thing i want is for it to appear that way, i've re-read my post and i was just replying to outlaw in general, mangobay if i've offended you mate then it certainly wasn't meant.

Thanks Tintop. The crash wasn't a great time for TLB but it has been nice to see the members help rebuild it with their new and old threads. And as mentioned before HorTs worked so tirelessly to get it kick started again keeping Hailfrank away from the buttons

on v1 i remember turning the whole screen brown by pressing wrong buttons oh how we laughed

No we didn't!!!

I think you just have to keep things in perspective.

For any slightly snipey comment there are 50 posts from people having a laugh and helping other people out. As long as you give equal weighting to each, it all looks pretty good on here to me.

Wotchoo talking 'bout ?

You haven't offended me

No one on here offends me. I am impossible to offend on the internet.

It seems that because I stuck up for a girl I am seen as a sniper. Oh well. I can live with that.

I think you've got it about right there mate. I've seen quite a few threads related to 'calm down, calm down' (insert best scouser voice), but I seem to have missed the threads that these have been directed to. In general I don't think i've seen or read any sniping on here. Maybe Rickypoo is right, perhaps newbies come on and see folk ribbing rick because he drives a poo brown loaf of Warburtons with an upturned boat on the roof and think we're all nasty on here?

I think that's the point exactly mate - that original post dates back nigh on 2 years, so its hardly troll material - it was posted, taken, added to and generally accepted as a bit of fun. I'm thinking its maybe those who take any kind of posting on an internet forum the wrong way maybe need to wise up a bit.

and garlands in a bay are just plain gay - period. I wish I had a rear view window though

I think you're misunderstanding me.

Apparently I'm the "newbie sniper"
