I think Dave that you should perhaps pay a little more attention. My overwhelming impression of those that gather on this site (especially those with high post counts) is their willingness to welcome and assist newcomers. Perhaps there is a certain skewed humour here but surely that is only befitting a New Order site. I felt truly welcomed here when my Ryder cup thread was ridiculed, maybe I am just a sad cunt with a low post count!

there seems to be a correlation between the number of post count and the number of times 'c*nt' is typed.... ![]()
must be nice for the female fans to read these threads...
(someone said something about reading the forum rules a few posts back... hmmmmm.....)

Allow me, my friend. "Cunt" can be taken many ways, as a tea brewed with the dried leaves, as an insult, as a term of friendly respect. I'll leave it up to you to decide which befits.

I take full pride in being the first US Newbie to post this information. ![]()
Originally posted by Garymac What a strange stance to take Dave , at a certain figure you feel a person lacks a life or is perhaps sad ?For myself I've almost put 12 months in , I remember hittin 100 posts 'cos I got a few congrats from other nools, I'd never been on one of these forum sites before and was a tad unsure about how to react , so I remembered what me Ma had taught me and said cheers , cos Ma says it's nice to be nice ,I hit the 666 post and I was accused by one of the colonials of satanism or somesuch crime , Ma has never had to give out any advice about the ettiquete of dealing with colonials with a Matthew Hopkins bent , so I stuck with her initial advice and said cheers ... with some reservations .I hit a 1000 and didn't realise , not to worry , my new friends in this on-line community , pointed it out and agaain I remembered Ma's advice etc .The point is Dave , I never felt sad or worthless , employment wise I please me fuckin self , a position I can afford 'cos I worked like a cunt for a few years , which often made me feel sad , but never sad in the definition you favour , so I post when I want .So , at what point and figure does one hit sad ?Or , and I'm just fuckin guessin here , do you have to be a bit fuckin insecure in the first place , do you have to worry about someone else thinkin your sad and as a result join that doctrine or mindset before they take the piss ?Now a fella who thought like that would be very sad , critical even .And at the risk of blowin smoke up some of the founder members and contributors arses ( cos most of em are cunts ), I think they've done a great job keepin this place alive ... even without a fac number
The site survives on it's contributions / postings , even the ones I or you may find offensive , or do not ' get 'And anyway , Timbo deletes posts too , the true figure is anyones guess , and so what ?: The bloke promotes the site , I assume you aint his boss ( in which case tims count is showin in error ) so that aint your problem and very occasionaly he says nice things to people .... however at heart he probably is a cunt :p Though I doubt he's a nasty cunt .That's the last time I defend you old timers bytheway , pleasant as it was :moon:
I was gonna reply to this earlier, but it was that good I thought I'd show the missus this thread. Best thread in ages. She thinks you write like Irvine Welsh Mr Mac, personally I can't see it masel;) Tis good to see our humour doesnae offend everyone, and I can hold my hands up and say I've only ever insulted one person on here, whom took offence to being called a "fuckwit" - this caused a furore for all of 5 minutes and was sorted out by me emailing the person. Can't even remember who it was, but ye's all know what my memory is like.
The tribute album was called "Community" because that's what this place is. Everyone says the odd daft thing, but in the end it sorts itself out one way or another.
The missus wasnae happy with the quote from Ole Tarbox either, she's certainly not offended by the word Cunt, I cannae speak for anyone else's missus, but maybe people who complain about this word, should read more of the posts and try grasping our humour over here![]()
Good points were also made by some of our American friends, I know it must be tough hardly ever seeing the band, I remember AgentWood, Churchy, Jeff, Green and Biznotic G-Man complaining while we were over there last year. Save yer pennies peeps, cos I doubt they will be over next year. Anyone wants to stay here just has to give me a shout......and £100 a night![]()
For a hundred notes a night, I expect Ms. ShugzV to...well...I'll just stop there...my mom told me I shouldn't say things like THAT!!!
Shuggy bear...does that figure include a full English breakfast???
It's a sensitive topic this... obviously! :) Personally speaking I've been a dedicated NO/JD fan for almost a decade and I've only really got about 7X posts so far on NOOL (at last count) plus I've followed the site perhaps not as a member, but certainly since the early "Temptation" incarnation. I can see the argument from both sides... I'll freely admit I could never envisage myself posting 9000+ (I think regardless of anything that is a pretty intense number :P), but each to their own. I simply don't have that "daily" interest in New Order that other folks here seem to have (but good for them, whatever floats your boat etc.) Similarly for seasoned members it can be a bit tedious to see the same topics come up again and again, but as someone earlier in the post said we are all "newbies" at one stage or another.
I really enjoy posting on NOOL, but I have to be really interested in the topics otherwise I simply can't be bothered :D hence my relatively small number of posts. At the same time I've found between NO album releases, I tend to listen to the band less and less, while I discover other "fresh" music and see other bands gig. It's nothing against New Order at ALL, they're still perhaps my favourite band ever, but it's hard to get enthusiastic about yet another discussion about the guitar solo in Ceremony for the 54th time, but it's only natural when the band release a new LP or start gigging new fans and "old" questions appear.
I'd say, older members remain calm and newer members do a forum search before posting ;)

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to spy a secret conspiracy meeting between Dave Fox, Julio Moura and Mat "Austin" Tarbox for a friend.
Goodbye.
I think it's OK if people come here just to ask info, it's not like you have to be an active member of every forum of every band you like... Say I'm a Depeche Mode fan, if I wanna know if they tour I don't become an active member of the forum before asking it, I wouldn't have the time at all... I know it's hard because this is not actually an official site, but it's probably the closest thing... You could put a notice on the forum: before asking about news, check the news archive of the last month, so if there are any live dates they see it...
Judge folks on quality, not the quantity; and in that regard you can officially scapegoat me as I have neither.
