Don't Let Queenzone Die

Well I know two people who WONT be getting in!

*Crosses names off list*

;-)

:-P

~giggle~!

I think an invitation only forum is a bloody good idea. We could invite all those annoying newbies to an elite invitation only club and while they're in there boring the tits off each other, we can have Queenzone to ourselves.
Problem solved.

fatty

I shudder to think who the second person is. *ahem*

Hahaha the man is a genius.

I know we can lock people out of a forum...but is there a way of locking the bastards IN the new forum once we lure them all over there? Then queenzone will be ours once again!

Ive just went into the chat room and i recognise no one. I've been on this bloody site too long...

"I shudder to think who the second person is. *ahem*"

- well I'm sorry Amanda, I may have to lock you out. Having a Jennifer Aniston lookalike might draw too much unwanted attention to the new board! We dont want Friends fans from all over the globe flocking to the new board begging for memberships to get a glimpse of you now do we!!

Dagnabbit, how unfair.

Interesting ideas, btw. Don't get drunk with power, you hear? ;^)

Finally my efforts toward the demise of Queenzone are finally propagating tangible success!

Anyway, I think that seeing the same name in the "Topic Started by" column is far worse than the "Last Replyed to by" column. When I spent more time on here, I used to reply to everything I had a response to; I would hate to think that any of my posts lacked intelligence.

Yet still, regardless of any of these statistics, apparently nothing important enough is being said, so I don't think one should mind the unimportant, "irritating" ones.

I know I've stopped posting fairly recently, and while it's partly due to personal reasons, it's also because I can't stand how some people on this board are making the experience completely unenjoyable anymore. These are the people who take any opportunity to shit on a thread, serious or not, by turning it into a flame-war by cursing, shouting, and being generally annoying. Without naming names, there are three culprits: one claims she is a dirty queen, the other is a form of Southern, homemade alcohol, and the third is from the valley.

Charles isn't the problem anymore, but people like MegaMike who constantly post utter shit about leaving and supposedly parodying threads asking if songs were written about Freddie's having AIDS, which isn't funny to begin with, and explaining the logic by saying, "Sorry, I had to do it." No you fucking didn't.

I don't want to see Queenzone die either, because there might come a time that, when all the shit going on in my life right now is finished, I'd want to come back and contribute again. I enjoy my sparring matches with iGSM, which most will undoubtedly find nonsensical (and some might even think is part of the problem - but I haven't heard any complaints), but I also like coming here to see what's new in the life of Queen and what fans have to say. But posts like "how big was Freddie's cock" are absolutely absurd, and people keep fueling them by posting to the threads, and some certainly don't help by posting parody threads.

I'm afraid that all I can do is bitch, instead of offering any help. I just hope that some people understand where I'm coming from, as I might be a bit more of an unspoken minority on the board (hell, I don't even know what people honestly think of me), but speaking as an observer, there are really some shit posters here that would have been eliminated if social Darwinism reigned.

Anyway, thus ends my rant.

Ok - i have removed the postcout thing. Also, removed html code from usernames when viewing a forum topic.

i will contemplate other ways to filter out the trash.

Ideas are welcome.

Looks good.Maybe some of the rabid posters will get bored.

It's a start, Mr. Orchard, a good start.

Yes. Now perhaps, bambam, you could remove the whitesmoke html code from your username? It just looks weird is all.
*sigh* I'll miss my post count, and I'm a little sad about the fact that I won't be a deity but if it'll help the state of the board then I'm willing to make that sacrifice. Good on you Richard.

"Yes. Now perhaps, bambam, you could remove the whitesmoke html code from your username? It just looks weird is all."

You know what, I tried like 3 times to update my profile, and it seems that it would not budge. Conflicts in the new setup, maybe.

<> Nor 'ave I. I thought it might have been too. I can't say I'm Mr. Model Poster. I post shit. I know that. I'm not sure I post it in the quantities to be designated a pain in the prick. There are pains in the arse, I know that too. I had fun matching repartee with Lester and learning more about Queen from the older folks from the board. It's damned fun. It's damned, damned fun but it seems there's a monkey wrench in the works at the moment. I remember when I joined there weren't too many people on the board. But it seems now days that on the Queen forum that there's a new topic started by every new member. Not that I have a problem. After all, I've got a feeling '05's gonna be good year. Especially if we see it in together.
