Campaign to turn NOOL back into something we are proud to be part of

The thing that gets me is that some newbies come on here and ask legitimate questions and get ridiculed for it - thats hardly gonna make someone want to come back here.

Not everyone has the same knowledge of New Order/Joy Division, so it would be nice if people just answered the question or point them in the right direction so they can find they info out for themselves.

I remember at the begining of the year whoever runs the site (oldmonkey?), was asking for donations to pay for the server - the upshot is if people are not prepared to come to the site because certain individuals do not make people feel welcome, then there might be a situation where the server cannot be paid for, then we all lose out.

To Tim:

Clayhead,

Though I completely detest the actions that were brought upon you, and condemn the person who did it......to act like a complete victim isn't quite right either.

Count me in

I'm game. Glad I'm not alone in this either. 'Cause for me, this is a second home, and I'm glad to be here in this funky NOOL family.

Besides, if anyone can tolerate my 'semi-obsession' *cough* for His Royal Drumming Cuteness, I mean , it's a good thing.

Who's game? I'm game. I'm in. Game on!!

ETA [edited to add] I really like this emotie. I just wish it was an emotie HERE so I don't always have to utilize it like it's an image.

Yeah, this one:

No, I don't actually run the site, strangely enough, though it may look like that at times. I'm just the mug who tries to keep it together. I do the things like set up the NOOL Day, put gigs on for people to socialise at, and make sure that anyone who wants a recording of anything can get hold of it, either personally or through a contact. And at what price? Just abusive private messages and a load of grief, that's all. Enough is enough though. Thanks to the one person who admitted they come on here to cause trouble, maybe you would like to take over as moderator?

Seeya people, you know where I am if you want to contact me.

goodwill? sure, it's worth a shit...i mean shot. I love everyone...even Liam.

I tolerate everyone. Except those Bono spammers who had to be put to sleep.

That is a very fair point. I'm amazed at some of the vitriol that is dished out here, just because a newbie posts something that has evidently been asked before. If the 'old hands' find it irritating, just ignore it.

100%

I'm going to get shit for it.. but this place went even more downhill when a football forum was started to keep the football off the original football forum, and then the original football forum turned into the shed.

Remember when people were complaining about "omg let us talk! you're too mean this is offtopic forum!!!" Well this is what happens when MSN like posts go wild.

that's the last negative thing I'll say on the subject

:P

Really don't like the word 'Community' (and have always said as such) and if everyone here just simpered at everyone else's words it'd be a boring place to post. It's always the tension which keeps most of us glued, or so I thought.

We've had two separate big nights out for onliners in London this week, and I've had two different sets of onliners crash at my gaff the past two nights ... and you'll never hear me bang on about any 'Community' bollocks. The people who bandy the word around the most are the ones who always appear to break the Community ground rules first.

You want a genuine 'Community'? Go the Ceremony forum. At least most of the posts there are about people generally 'meeting up' with one another, and not just being virtual 'enemies' in hyperspace.

PAH! where was my invite?

BURT -your BOSS got the invite.As i post this SOMEONE LIKE YOU is being played at the snooker!ACE

what he said

Me in, too.

I was just gonna ignore this thread as 'oh fucking turn it in,who cares'. Changed my mind. If i genuinely had to think twice about what i posted would there be any point posting at all?

You should be able to say what you like as you would in the 'real' world, with the same level of caution and common sense.

If i wanna call JAK a scouse cunt, i should be able to! Because its a general comment not aimed at upsetting him, same as he thinks im a Manc twat. I dont care if people think im a cock cos of my job, and i dont moan about it. You can say what you like about it, i wouldn't hold it against you. If you've got to walk on egg shells you're wasting your time posting.

Obviously i think there's a line, and you dont cross it - thats been proved this past week. But having a laugh at someone elses expense should be allowed as long as its not too personal. Certain things should be dealt with faster, but hey if a moderator misses something what can you do?

I think Tim has been unfairly left to sort this current set of problems out alone. He's not the only moderator on here is he? Nic has had a rough ride of late and is probably too stressed to be arsed about this place, and gave people extra editing options for a purpose.

It wasn't to leave Tim to get on with it on his todd. You must be owed a few beers fella.

changed me mind. lovely fella that Ste.

count us in now.
