Whats going on with this board lately?? Its becoming extremely nasty and downright childish some of the stuff thats happening! I mean we log on here to hear news about and discuss our passion for polystone not to have to read this crap and pathetic banter between board members!! Give it up guys, there's far more interesting stuff happening than your egos!:rock
 
I'm with you on this WOS. I was just going to post the same thread. I hadn't been over here in a while and today I find 4 locked threads with members bashing each other. I know everyone's tired from SDCC, but come on.

This stuff is supposed to be our hobby and hobbies are supposed to be enjoyable and relaxing. Like WOS said, check the egos at the door. And by all means each one of us are human, we make mistakes and have bad days. When someone is big enough to admit our mistakes and apologize, then the rest of us should be big enough to let it go.

We have seen in the past how out of hand and unpleasant this place can be when someone keeps pushing the buttons and won't let topics just fall off the page. Let's not go down that road again. Please. :grouphug
 
there's far more interesting stuff happening

Yeah, I agree. For example, there's:

What's your favourite three busts?
What's your favourite three statues?
What's your favourite three letters of the alphabet?
 
Wake up Mr Fell Beast. What are your favourite three letters of the alphabet? Z, Z and Z?
 
So Dave we can't even express our dismay over ridiculous and insulting threads.............. I give up.:bang

Okay that was truely hilarious!
 
People need to take a break from the board. Many members here keep coming back day after day and spend a great deal of time here. Tensions will inevitably rise, and if you don't have the sense to step out and let things cool down, it'll get out of hand.
Personally I think some of the members and most of the discussions here leave a lot to be desired. So I don't post a lot. No point in visiting a forum more than you find enjoyable.
 
Amen to all of the above and thanks Wrath for starting it.

I am Disabled and housebound and as such spend a lot of time on this Board so I see things going on as its actually happening. The atmosphere that all this name calling/moaning and general nastiness creates is a split community.You have some of the people doing the name calling, throwing the insults and the rest just watching in disbelief at what is going on and therefore some leaving the forum, which is what I am going to do.

I've had enough of the endless bickering and moaning.It has been mentioned in another thread that SS listens to us and take in what is said on these boards.What kind of an impression are we wanting to put out there.

Personally have enough grief in my on life on a daily basis to then come on here a lot only to see what is going on, 4 threads locked, insults being thown, etc.

I know everyone is different and expesses themselves in different ways but if we can't even come onto a general forum and chat to people with similar hobbies & loves without it resorting to childish insults what can we do.Humour is one thing but blatant name calling at each other and all the bad language used which is thrown at one another is terrible.

There has been too much of this going on for a long time now and I'm sick of it.

All this of course my own general observations and opinions and will probably count for nothing but I'm just so tired of it.

I wish all of you the very best

Thanks

Re: LOL

My point was, that threads like this tend to call attention to a small problem and make it appear bigger than it is.

This is a community of many different types of people and there are bound to be disagreements. However I expect everyone to conduct themselves as an adult.

And posting an insult and then saying "just kidding" or saying you're just trying to lighten the mood or offer an alternative to all the boring posts - that's just passive aggressive nonsense.

That's a matter of opinion and, in my opinion, that's a load of old pony (Cockney rhyming slang - 'Pony and trap' = crap). What happened to the idea that if a thread does not generate interest then it will just disappear without posts?

I feel that I conduct myself as an adult. I don't resort to name-calling and I try to inject a bit of humour where I can. I don't contribute to the 'Favourite three ...' threads as they could and perhaps should be a permathread that people could edit when new statues etc are released.

As for the fact that SSW read the threads. That's nice. However, why should anybody express just positive opinions just because they know that they would be read? If they do indeed read these posts, then critcisms (albeit constructive) should be equally as valid.

I make no excuses for taking the mick out of Josh. I mean no offence and I consider it a bit of training for him as kids can be far more offensive than my reserved potshots.

I'm getting off my soap box for a few minutes but, as a big fat Californian governor once said, 'I'll be back...'
 
LoL CCT... I for one love your posts..

Isnt this a toy forum?.. Since when does acting adult and toys mix anyway?..
