WORL wrecked by just one idiot

[imported_Kill__The__Wabbit]

This is great! Management discussing options with comunity members.........and with an open mind. I don't mean to sound like a smart arse, but this is a new experience to me. I'm pleased to see that Legend and Willow have passion for this community, and aren't afraid to show it. Keep up the good work guys, and the other active management as well. I don't know who you are yet, but I'm sure I'll get that chance as time goes by.

THE MIGHTY METH IS BACK!!!

Glad to see you made it over mate. I was getting worried that we would lose you. I don't know about you, but I feel quite comfortable here.

Wow. I was away a few days and a lot has happened. I had only looked at WORL a few times in the last year or so.
I don't know everything about the history of WORL and the beginning of LWOS, so correct me if my next question is off-base. This talk of bringing the Footy Show boards here - I thought I have read LWOS veterans here say that the Footy Show was what ruined WORL, that that's where all the inane, immature posters (Who's Best Looking,etc.) came from. So why would we want that here? Or am I missing something

 

[legend]

No, you are spot on Steve but therewere some quality posters on the now non existant footy show boards. They are the ones I was hoping to attract. As you can see with all the recent additions, they all have something useful to add and new members keep the place fresh, sort of like a nice bunch of flowers......bad analogy I know.

The other thing I was thinking and I can't speak on behalf of the other managers is I think we could manage the footy shows boards a lot better than the previous crew and have people join in some constructive discussion, something we have always prided ourselves on here. I think management attributed to the downfall more than the members did.

Having said that, I don't want people to get the perception we are an elitist bunch of wankers who are not open to new ideas or members so, as usual, something like this is open to debate and constructive criticism.

Good question though Steve.

 

[imported_Everlovin_Antichrist]

Steve,it was lack of moderation that allowed that board to end up like that.

If you delved a bit there were good discussions going on but interspersed with the goings on of the ferals. Moderation of a board by a non Manager is near impossible, but we did manage to hound a few ferals away.

 

[imported_Roopy4246]

Good point Steve.
I was thinking the same thing myself.
If we do host the footy show board I suggest we find a way to keep the LWOS section and the footy show sections separated.
I have nothing against the Girdler Girls and the 14 yo boys out to prove how clever they are, I just don't want them in my neighbourhood, lol.

Having a said that, the footy show link attracts a huge number of posters, and afair percentage of them are very good posters, so finding a way for both sites to co-exist would be good for everyone.

It seems to me that it is just a tecnical problem. We just need to have people enter through one site and be able to find and settle into the site that suits them best.

 

[imported_MrAngryOne]

I watched as EA, Meth and others tore shreds of some of the no hope posters there they would come back for more though.

There was however no-one watching as idiots continued to post crap after crap. Maybe that will change - as long as I can voice my opinion and gets others I am happy no matter where it is.

Go back to everlovin antichrist - I just love that name!!!!

 

[imported_midas]

legend.what,s wrong with being an elitist wanker?I personally have no intention of changing the habit of a lifetime.

 

[CanadianSteve]

EA: I agree there was good discussion going on there amongst all the chaff. But what if a bunch of "the Girdler Girls and the 14 yo boys out to prove how clever they are" came here, where the policy is not to ban members. Would the managers have to start deleting a bunch of 'Girdler is hot' type threads. I'd hate to see the forum become a mess like that.
Sorry if I sound too elitist, and I hope I'm wrong. I hope the level of discussion here would just naturally keep away such posters because it wouldn't appeal to them. But I thought I'd raise the issue

 

[legend]

To be honest, the chances of us hosting the Footy Show boards are fairly remote because in the last 24 hours, the Footy Show boards have been seperated from the WORL boards and they are now twototally seperate communities. This means the Footy Show boards will be starting from scratch with their own community and members. Ultimately, the place will never be the same again. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing.MattO took about 6500 registeredmembers with him when he disbanded the communities so it will take a long time for the Footy Show boards to get back to the same level of posts again. Basically, he has crippled one community to keep his own WORL community.

The ball is now in Rubicon's hands because he has been made an assistant manager ofFooty Showcommunity with that idiot O'Neill still the head honcho.

We are more than ever moving in our own direction and LWOS will be the flagship community for Leagueunlimited next year so the member base will increase over the next year but at a managable rate.

 

[imported_Kill__The__Wabbit]

My opinion is, if it isn't broken, don't fix it. I refer of course to this site. I also believe those posters you seek will eventually make their way over to here. Some of my mates are already over here and I'm looking forward to making new ones.

Mr Angry, you are 100% right........listen to the man E.A. BRING BACK THE ANTICHRIST!!!!!!!!!!

 

[imported_Kill__The__Wabbit]

MattO may have taken 6500 members with him, but how many of them actually post? An extremely small percentage I'm willing to wager.

Personally Legend, I find it very humourous that an alleged non Saints supporter has gone to a lot of trouble to keep Saints supporters happy and damn the rest.

Time to come out of the closet MattO. Don't sweat it. I can't think any lower of you than I already do.

 

[legend]

Yep, fair enough KTW. One last point. I am a firm believer that Rugby League can never have enough quality discussion and the choice for a lot of people has been taken away. This sort of thing has been happening for quite some time and I have been a member of the WORL messageboard for about 2 1/2 years and when I first joined it was awesome. Great lively discussion that was addictive. I couldn't get enough.

Anyway, enough from me. Back to the real sports discussions.

 

[imported_Everlovin_Antichrist]

Steve, it doesn't sound elitist compared to what we've been through.

The ferals won't come here, they're not smart enough to find a place like this. They also rarely read any real topic, preffering the "who has the best butt" topics.

You're pretty safe.

Legend, MattO is a prat. I know what Meth was trying to do and it was simply to have a regular poster from the footy show board, moderate the board. MattO chose to use that and thedisgust shown by one other poster as an excuse to tear the boards apart. While he's involved, I won't be.

 

[Fatt O]

Pratt !!!!!
Idiot !!!!!

You started this Ozbash- you bitch !
I am going to charter a Hercules transport plane to take me to NZ and I will hunt you down and scratch your eyes out !!


Please come back boys,,, I promiseI will be a good boy.

 

[imported_Everlovin_Antichrist]

add Scrote™ to the list.

You'll be right, there'll be plenty of 12 year old girls wanting to discuss Darren Lockyer's butt. There always is.

 

[Willow]

Ahh the Antichrist....a legend in your own lunchtime

Canadian Steve's thoughts on the Footy Show forum are spot on. The quantity v quality factor will require serious consideration should we ever decide to take on that forum.It may require a slight restructuring of our forums. Having said all, for reasons that Legend brought up, its unlikely that the Footy Show will need a new forum in any case.

If anything develops, we'll only move forward following consultation with the members.

Kill the Wabbit:
I guess you're right, we are passionate about the forum. I can't speak for all the managers but I love this style of discussion where information and viewpoints are whizzed around the world at lightning speed.

I have always believed that the internet should be free of restraint. If someone wants to tell us about their website or anything else, then what better way than on a public forum?
I can't fathom why anyone would want delete threads under the guise of 'anti-spamming rules' just to lock up a forum for their own exclusive use.

If anyone has any other forum or website to promote, don't hesitate to spread the word.

 

[imported_Everlovin_Antichrist]

Gidday "peck".

Quality v Quantity. lol

I suppose the Saints board was the quality and the rest was the quantity, I'm sure that's how it was seen anyway.

Shit, it's all quality now, how entertaining is it going to be?

 

[TheSaint]

Nothing on this Earth lasts forever and that board as a general Rugby League discussion had it's day. The two area's that where going strong were Dragons and the Footy Show. The problem with the Dragon's forum was thatit would get people with no idea posting while replying to a Saints postin the All Topics section. All topics is great here, but it wasa nightmare at WORL.Most have moved across here or to the Grandstand, which are better general forums, just like WORLat it's peak.

As for the Management, I for one wasn't venturing out side the Dragons section on that forum.

 

[imported_Everlovin_Antichrist]

Jeez, did you really have to do that?

Do you often paint a bullseye on your face?

Your last sentence says, and I quote:

"As for the Management, I for one wasn't venturing out side the Dragons section on that forum"

Yet, 1/2 an hour ago you called the FootyShow Forum a blackhole. How does one gain an opinion without actually looking at it?

I'll give you some advice for nothing.

When you decide to denigrate the intelligence of others, please ensure that you are of the intellectual capacity to be in a position to judge.

uncontrolable = uncontrollable
intelectual = intellectual

You're typical of the arrogant pseudo intellectual Dragon supporter at WORL who believes that they are part of the "chosen few". You aren't. All you are is someone with an inflated view of his own importance. You should read PB more, he has more class in one cell than you will ever have.

Here endeth the lesson.

i know i have a shocking sense of humour and all this, but this is how the 1st thread on the new footy show forums ended up....
