So I think we can all agree on having a newbie forum. That is a given.
But we need a forum for all those people who like to talk like gossip queens writing for Sun or something. You know, those who post stupid things about Freddie's lovers, his "gay" look with the short hair and moustache, whether he delievered the mail or recieved it in the mailbox. Geez people. It is annoying, and it has nothing to do with the music of Queen. Freddie's sex life and orientation has nothing to do with the music we all appreciate, so why do some fawn all over it? You want to know? Then google it, but don't bring that shit here. It just becomes really old, really stupid and really fucking annoying......
Real quick.
Cheers

Talking about Cheers, it rhymes with tears. And talking about tears, it rhymes with fears (so-so). Talking about fears, the first letter is "f". Now, I remember certain musician whose first name begins with f, ends with e and has five more letters, hopefully they are reddi.
Meanwhile, think about something else: take the first letter of each paragraph I wrote in this post. What do you get? TM. So if we put F-reddi-e and TM together we get the result that there was a musician called Freddie Mercury, who wrote a song called The Miracle (TM), which ended up in the line:
"There time will come one day you`ll se when we can all be friends"

:-) Good work, Sebastian!
Maybe we should stop reacting like a mad dog if a newbie posts something stupid. I just don't react and go the topics which have my interest.
The best thing would be if the non-newbies would just stop arguing about us!! That's really annoying because the non-newbies topics nagging about newbies are almost getting as many as the stupid newbies topics !! That's what really annoys me.
Why can you just stop it :) Learn something from other Forums, like the Pink Floyd forum... there wasn't any "Oh this is a forum about Pink Floyd not Queen" In the Queen topic.. If anyone would have talked about anything else than queen would have been arguing about it... USually there is arguing about everything...
Oh damn! now I started arguing :S Oh well... Peace folk!
And that was a great answer Sebastian :)

Nice post, both to Sebastian and grapefruit. :)
well, as i suggested in the "A gift from me to the newbies" topic, I think we should have a quiz that all people wanting to join should have to complete- and get 100%! If they didn't know some answers, they could use google, or read topics from the past. I'm sure it would reduce the amount of "Is Brian's hair naturally curly?", "How old is Roger?" "Where is John?" topics, if we asked them in the quiz...
As this is an open forum, people are allowed to ask these questions. Is somebody wants to ask wether Brians hair is naturally curly, then (s)he has a right to do so. If you've answered that question a million times and don't want to be bothered you can just leave the topic be. If you don't mind enlightning the masses you can answer it for the million and first time.
I myself won't be very helpful in this area, coz I don't know the answer. I also don't know wether he dyes his hair, and I'm very happy not knowing these sorts of things. :)

"I don't know whether to get pissed off with newbies or not. People give out shit to me if I do so...:-S What do yis want me to do?!"
As far as I am concerned I would wish for you to shut up - just as Marchofthedirtylanguage and LadyMoonshinehidesfromme with all your bitchy messages and comments spreading bad feelings all over the board.

Why can't newbies post whatever they want ??
A newbie means that they are here for the first time or one of the first times and they haven't read the forums for many months like some others... They can't just knew what has been written before and often it's just easyer to post a topic than reading carefully every topic!
You don't have to answer EVERY topic... just leave those you don't want to answer or read.

as a newbie myself, and an avid queen fan i am pretty well clued up on eveything "queen" and have been for a decade or so, i totally agree with this posting, STOP POSTING MEANINGLESS SHITE ON THIS GREAT SITE AND WASTING ALL OF OUR TIME.
Linda, stay away from toics that bother you. It's simple.
Nearly every "public" message board you come across is like this. You're gonna get newbie questions all the time, some are genuine, some are flame bait. Best thing to do is to steer clear of them.
Where in Dublin are you from BTW?

Anto is perfectly right. What annoys me is of no importance, I do not own this forum. When I don't like a topic I stay away. After years on a message board you do not expect brand new topics every day.
But what we can expect is a minimum of respect for other people on this board. It's not respecting other people when the board is flooded with "I hate newbie" rubbish by people who are too stupid to figure out the edit button and who think it makes them cool to use trash language. You are the ones who make the board unattractive for regular users, not a new user who asks an innocent question.

I don't know whether to get pissed off with newbies or not. People give out shit to me if I do so...:-S What do yis want me to do?!
I don't always know. I never get really annoyed with them. Most of them are okay at the moment though so i don't have any complaints to make.
