Does anyone else think this place is out of control?

[christiana]

What I want to say is mostly covered by the previous posts. I agree that this board is about U2, and the fans - us.

This forum has been like this for a while(a long long while...

), it will be extremely difficult to change. Can't you remember the 'revolution' a while ago??? I think that most of us didn't like it. I don't think anyone can change the way the board is. But I do agree that some of the threads are simply too repetitive.

That's my $0.02...

 

[U2girl]

to answer the question:
sometimes it gets messy, but most of the time it's a nice place.

in general this forum could use more niceness. and more consideration for one another.

i thought you said you'd quit.

just to answer something you were saying earlier, ok? don't get mad now, please...

i don't "post smileys and act like nothing ever happened".
if i posted a smiley as the sole purpose of a thread, it was "just because", believe it or not, it had nothing to do with the past.
i don't know how much a single smiley can do in terms of making things better. sure, it's great if it can. and it would be great if that particular smiley would be a start of something nice. but i doubt it was...

everything clear now?

I guess you would prefer if nobody new ever joined this forum,

Complain all you want. But when it comes down to it, people are not complaining about the 'lack of U2 content'. This entire place is exploding with all the U2 content the world has to offer. The complaining is really that people feel left out while they watch others have lots of fun. It's not my fault that some people don't feel at home. I don't come here to talk U2, I come here to talk to my friends and we sometimes happen to talk about U2. I only get agressive when other people are trying to stop me and my friends from having fun.

BOTTOM LINE: If you're a newbie, you don't know anyone. Thus, you won't have much fun. So make some friends and have a great time, problem solved.

There are legitimate reasons to pick on newbies:

[*]It's fun.
[*]It's easy.
[*]They freak out and it's funny to watch.
[*]They have every right to treat me the exact same way, I invite them to.

[MrPryck2U]

Well, since everyone is coming out of hibernation to reply to this post, I suppose I can add my opinion.
Like some have stated before, this forum is pretty much as good as it gets. Most fan message boards are gonna have their ups and downs. There are going to be periods when there isn't much U2 stuff to comment on and people are gonna start posting some "really dumb shit". I saw this happen at the now defunct @U2 fan message board. The set up for that message board was waaay different than here. Any schmuck could go there and post stuff. They didn't have to register. Because they didn't have to register, they couldn't be banned or prevented from posting any highly inappropriate material. As a result, the board was discontinued because it was infiltrated by a bunch of pro gun folks who didn't agree with U2's stance on gun control. Because of the way things are set up here, you won't have that occur. You should all be glad that you've got some place to go where you can express your opinions about U2. Yes, a lot of the posts are really fuckin stupid, but you don't have to reply. Eventually new threads. will come in and wipe away a lame thread. The mods here are doing the best they can to be fair. Give 'em a break.
Once again, if you don't like this forum, don't let the door hit you in the ass!

I'm confused, are you Hawk269?

 

[Quano Abidji-Achibi]

nicamom, are you asking me if im hawk? if so, the answer is no.

i was replying to that persons post, by sarcastically saying how happy i am that im not one of the people who she was talking about.

to be honest, i have no idea what u2girl was saying there, im not even talking to her and she follows me around. u2girl we are GOOD. no more to discusss, thank you.

as for newbies, i wish theyd all leave by now. i believe elvis should impose a $10,000 drop-in fee for new posters. once they start posting, every 100 posts will cost exactly $180. and so on from there.

as well, i believe we have the right to innitiate the newbies and have them clean our rooms, and let us spank them silly until im finished drilling hans molemans head for gooy brains.

That's what I thought and that's why U2girl confused me.

well, you should know by now us girls are always curious.
and what's not to be curious about someone called death bear?

or, if you want to flatter yourself, you can always go on believing your "hey gang" or "deh nadies" thingies worked.

LOL, look at my crappy editing! NicaMom - i made a mess out of your posts!

If this board is good enough for U2 then it's good enough for me!! Need I say more?

 

[Like O2]

Nah, it's not out of control, it just gets a little messy sometimes, but it's all good.

LMAO! This is so funny! Interesting how such a simple statement caused so much hullabaloo

It's up to 3 pages and climbing!

If you'll notice, the original statement is is pretty vague. It seems folks simply assumed that xcelia was complaining about whatever they thought was wrong with the forum.

It's not clear to me that he/she was really even making a serious complaint. Too funny

 

[Quano Abidji-Achibi]

perhaps this thread is so long because some of us have guilty consciences? nah. cant be. im happy with myself.

[Achtung_Bebe]

yes xcelia should elaborate

I think it can be out of control at times, sure, but then when you get together a bunch of music fanatics that is bound to happen

I personally think there's a delightful mix of U2 and non-U2 threads.

I'll go ahead and agree with Hawk269 because sometimes the egos can go all over the place. But that's also something to be expected, you've got your egomaniacs wherever you go. Bono will always be the official egomaniac though

 

[bullet the blue sky]

Personally, i don't think we talk enough about music in general.. not just U2.

But hey, I'm old, so what do I know?!

Monday morning, it's so boring.
I say how long, you say how long.
It was one dull morning,
Woke the world with falling.
I was so sad, so sad.
It was so sad.

I had a feeling it was out of control.
I had a feeling it was out of control.
Boys and girls go to school and learn.


I had a feeling it was out of control.
I had a feeling it was out of control.
Out of control.
Out of control.

I have full faith, that it was burning.
And it go, say death.
It's a charmer, I say a charmer.
And one day I'll die.
And the choice will not be mine.
Will it be too late?
You can't fight it.

I had a feeling it was out of control.
I had a feeling it was out of control.

hello xcelia, when I think of Interference.com, I think Elvis(Tanner not Presley)He has the ultimate say. I think he has created an amazing U2 site, and is very open to suggestions(get a hair cut son). This place is just a microcosm of the world, the good, the bad,(the ugly?) all rolled into one, but basically a diverse bunch of people with U2 in common.
I'm sorry you are not happy, but I don't really understand the background to your complaint.
"...you've got to give a little, take a little, let your poor heart break a little,
that's the story of, that's the glory of I.com....."

Is it my singing that's bothering you? Sorry mate, I sing underwater.
Peace 2U xcelia
