Diaries

[Simon Galloway]

and to think I let this man buy me breakfast.

IIRC, you were a pretty major dog for him to actually find the restaurant, never mind spring for it.

thankyou

i don't agree with a lot of it, some of it i do, but thankyou for the answer

specifically this part: The simple answer is the mods team (not one individual and his supposed ego) see no convincing reason to alter the status quo

if i'm being totally honest i think it's a weak answer but an answer nonetheless so i appreciate that.

if that is genuinely the reason then from an outside perspective i think they're hurtfull where they are not helpful, to both newbies and existing members, that's just my opinion though, maybe with some of the other expressed on here it might make you re-think the status quo, and that's the only point i've ever been trying to make

The thing is, whilst this might be the overall consensus, it's not to say as a group we do not see some of the points that yourself, and others, are making. It's been discussed before and your topic has cause us to discuss it again.

I just find the whole thing odd though. I'm not entirely sure why you'd join a forum and quickly get to 60ish posts harping on about diaries. Don't you have better things to be doing with your day?

I haven't read any of ohdear's posts cos they're too long

i have to +1 this

as soon as i've written them once i've gone away from the thread then come back again to re-read my post and see what a long winded poorly written post devoid of structure and proper grammer it actually is i usually think fuck that and move on to the next one

It wasn't a dig at you, just when I've had a tipple I cba to read posts longer than 6 words, that's the limit. Will reread thread after detoxing.

Have another beer imo...

Since when were diarists posting on other threads?

Thought we were too big time for that.

making a joke about something like that probably works better when it's not true

Who says it was a joke? Lol.

Been infrequent elsewhere at best funnily enough because I was put off by the amount of pages on others' diaries but have been told recently that starting from the last page and easing yourself in is the best way to go which I will start doing for all diaries. Won't be lazing anymore.

To be fair, it didn't.  You just haven't been able to get rid of me!

no worries ohdear you more than likely have me on ignore most of the punters on here have aswell thats why you missed out on the issue of why there are less new threads but more new post today than 6 months ago

so i will give you the reason for you to ignore again why the diaries havent got there own board

there is a group of people called mods/admins/staff we were appointed to help keep the forum running smoothly we on the whole dont get paid and do it for our love of the forum. we have debates all the time on how the forum is going and how we can improve it, including diaries, new boards,layouts etc etc etc. we have all been at blonde for a number of years and understand where we are pitching the site

in our wisdon we believe its better for the forum that the diaries are not segergated so that people who stumble accross the diaries and return for the diaries can stumble accross other chit as well like recipies for gravy which they wouldnt stumble accross if they just visited the diaries board.

now you have the facts why dont you come out with your real reason for being here and the fact you are just jealous of the fame and attention of certain diary writers

LOL i don't know whats funnier about this comment, the fact that you think i'm jealous and that's why i'm here or the fact that you think that "certain diary writers" get is "fame and attention", LOL SO good!

pop bands & film stars get "fame and attention", the certain diary writers to which you refer probably get about 10 regular people that consistantly interact with them on their diaries

seriously pmsl at "fame and attention", i cant work out if you were joking or not but i hope you wern't
