Of course you should. But you can't convey the same pisstaking tone with text on an Internet forum as you can clutching a pint and using body language/winks/nudges in real life. If you called someone a twat in person with a smile and a nudge then chances are they wouldn't take it seriously but if you called that same person a twat on here then they might take it to heart and go nuclear in response.

That goes doubly so if you've never met the twa...er person.

That's why there's so many problems in this forum :shrug:

There's also Keyboard Warriors as El Jarvo would put it; most of them just trolls with nowt to say about New Order whether it be records or gigs. Alot of the worst offenders in BCD never post about the band in the other forums which I personally just don't get.

Nowt wrong with it as it is,as far as the site goes IMO.

You are always going to get disagreements and the odd verbal ruck in type,and the place is richer for it...Again,only my opinion. But then I appreciate some people are more sensitive,and quite possibly consider the site the bee-all-end-all...Grow a thicker skin would be my advice to them.

There is always the concern the place would become sterile and devoid of any jibbin an ribbin of one another,if you take this too literally and have no tollerance of people winding each other up for a laugh.What do people want? Bland boring niceness all the time? Real life is not like that either,least not where I come from.Thank Fuck.

But emails to people's bosses is obviously a cunt's trick,and another matter entirely!

Well, SFA is going on with NO right now, but I agree when the band were touring last year, the a lot of same people who are the issue, were the people not posting in the on topic forums--when there was plenty to talk about! Same thing with when WFTSC came out but a lot of them weren't as active then as they are now.

I'd like to be able to talk about football in BCD rather than the Off-Topic-Off-Topic Forum :laugh: There's no traffic in WiM.

Exactly and most of that active bunch can be linked to all the excessive pish in this forum of late.

This is a forum that prides itself on bollocks as well.

The WiM forum was created for the World Cup I believe, which was obviously quite some time ago. I believe Nic intended to merge the threads in there with BCD post-tournament and then do away with WiM completely. Understandably with his personal circumstances then and now I don't think he's found the time.

Plus wasn't there a poll not long after the end of the World Cup where everyone was asked if they wanted to keep the WiM forum and the overall feeling was "Yes"?

Yes, that's right. I don't remember if it was a proper poll, or just a regular thread where somebody asked the question and people replied "yes" or "no", but I do remember that. I remember a lot of yes's and not too many no's.

Look who voted yes tho. Saah-ker fans and people who want their MSN conversations interrupted with actual posts. It doesn't make sense. Taking football off bcd killed it!

The only two forum to post anything worth having are BCD and DR, unfortunately.

This forum seems to be a never-ending source of problems, and since I have not been present on a daily basis recently (and won't be until I move on June 1st probably), I am happy the mods are doing a good job with the limited tools that they have and it's my duty to give them more powers in the next version of this website.

I have people complaining in PM and in email, seriously people, I have enough problem of my own right now to deal with your own problems, if you don't like what a mod do, discuss with him not with me right now! any other mod can bring this issue in the moderator forum and they can discuss what to do.

And to be honest, people who don't post crap and participate in the ON-TOPIC forum will always have the edge over the others in my book, this forum is there only to discuss about other stuff, but this site is about New Order, if you are not here to discuss about New Order, what the hell are you doing here? :skeptic:

Most :egg: and is Kosher w/ a smilie. :nod: Intendend to toss my nickel in this Poll a while back. The common theme is People who appreciate what NO has been and has become. Original Joy Division and then its Side Projects. BCD is unique as it is a Current events page mixed w/ 20 Random questions. The Occasions that it strays well that's life. Am I right is reading that a significant line was crossed. Obviously bang out of Order. International opinions and Time zones come into play so it's a kick to have a 24hrs. Open sign.
