Copy of my post in Zambuka...FYI..."Yes , it is loading again now...ctd/TDO...i think you are spot on the button there Surfingranny...The concept is a good idea , but whether it will attract members is the problem...Shamira's site isn't exactly having to have waiting lists to be approved , and neither will this Tartarus...Treating everybody else as dummies though is not a smart move , but is typical of the suspected site host...and allowing foul language is just juvenile at best...and so offputting to most people that it shows a lack of experience and a contempt for other peoples feelings/standards...If that sort of language is allowed , and not moderated , I could let rip with a few volleys that may change 'their' thinking , but hopefully i have more self control and maturity than that...question is...If a lady posts a smilie or two , and the same member(master5o1) let's go with more foul language due to the fact he objects to smilies , where will Tartarus admin be then..??...what if the poster is ydekm..?? who is subljected to the foul language...is that going to be alright..??"
Just a post to see how debate is handled in this debatable forum...
The problem with you Player is that you seem to believe that Zambuka is the "be-all and end-al"l when it comes to alternatives to SC. Both at Kiwi Community, and here, virtually everything you post is a thinly veiled put down which you attempt to pass off as 'constructive criticism', and I for one am damn well sick of it. And your obsession with YDEKM and TDO is really getting beyond a joke! You appear to think that they are behind just about anything!!! Hey, maybe you even think it was them who killed the Bain family????
Seriously, instead of criticising anyone's Forum website, why not just join in and have fun? Why do you feel it necessary to offer your idea of 'constructive criticism? Personally, I'd much rather be part of a Forum that has topics of substance, rather than airy-fairy threads full of silly games, hugz, and 'what are you doing today' kind of thing.
It is not the number of Members that make a good Forum ~ it is the quality of the posts, and the Members.
And who gives a rats arse about a bit of swearing??????
So, that's how I handle debate here.
