I am leaving/back thread

[treva]

I have to agree, the forum has got pretty boring, and sometimes I'm just wasting time doing nothing. Although I'm not going to leave I guess I will be on less and less over the next year.

Shame to see you guys leave, but Tom I still speak to on MSN. And I still EXPECT that County roster

Oh deary me, two decent members leaving, one of whom is extremely well known on the forums.

Disappointing day, but as with most members, you guys will be back.

 

[Kshitiz_Indian]

Infact Tom, you wouldn't be able to resist the urge to be back. It will be your mates that will pull you.

I won't be around here from January as said before. I've got lot of things to do which I've left over the last two years. From the time i joined, almost everyday i visited PC, and feeling it's important presence. Sadly, i won't be really on for few months as exams seem to the high priority at the moment. So, will be till new year.

This is what happened on BigFooty and eventually it turned into a spam fest. The admins stuck to the new spammers and let the good members go. Sad to see you go Tom.

Tell "them" that. Apparently the only excuse they can say it that it is due to there not being a cricket game coming out.

All I can say is that certain admins have finally got what they wanted

It's unfair to blame Admins for the quality of the posts, its up to members to make quality posts. If the Admins/Staff start deleting posts that aren't up to scratch they just get accused of being Nazi's or something and become pretty unpopular with the members - trust me on this

Never underestimate the power of boredom either

Again, admins can't really make members stay (or leave if they are determined and or clever enough). People leave forums, it happens. Sometimes they come back, sometimes they don't. Once again it's really down to all members to look at their posts. If there are people you don't want posting at a forum, they way to get rid of them is not to ban them, it's for everyone to ignore there posts, not get drawn in by the spam and trolling, they'll get bored and go.

I've learnt to not even bother with PM's to the guys in red now. It's clear what they want from the forum, and others who...*ahem* with higher authority, also believe that it has got to the stage where it is better just to shut up and get on with it. I won't be surprised to see the forum die now. I really did give a lot of time to this forum and I don't want to see it die, yet I am going tbh. Some admins have left me feeling like I am banging my head against a brick-wall at times. The way they have just ignored certain problems with the cracking clich?, "It is being discussed".

I remember what happened last time, I even sent a PM to an admin saying that we had gone full circle, and were at the other extreme now.

So I have this Well done guys, you really screwed it up!

I didn't want to leave by creating even more problems (No matter how tempting it was to change user titles )

Ah I still remember that Funknath time. Class!

Still its sad to know you even thought to leave. We others are still here!

To be honest, Tom, you done any of this for a bit of attention?

I ain't saying out negetive towards you pal, we're mates, but I just looks like you want a bit of attention. If you're gunna leave, and don't return, thats why you said you're leaving yeh? I totally understand about wanting to reply, but you get my reasoning?

Anyways, no one is perfect. I have no problem with the Admins, I think they do a good job, but then again, i don't take notice too much therefore wouldn't notice errors or inconsistancy anymore.

To be honest, and this might just be me, I think we need a new admin/globie or two, fresh ideas and a fresh look at it. Colin/Zim and Ste where all young(er) when they got to Admin, and may have grown in thier idea's, it'd be nice to give some younger members a chance.

I could quite easily myself leave, if it wasn't for my wanting of the forum to go well, and the fact that I can still call people mates here. I mean I don't speak to Griffo, FB or others hardly but know if a thread gets going it'll end up like the old days when i spoke loads to guys.

I think its far too easy to blame members for spoiling a forum, but we're all to blame as "older," members right? I mean, Kev must have the biggest blame in that case I'm joking. But you see where I'm going?

I am still popping back in, as I said in my original post, I have just been explaining my reasons.

Last PM I got from you was 3 weeks ago. Please don't imply that you've done what you're supposed to do and brought problems up with me instead of posting publically.
It does bother me that you feel it's acceptable to disrespect myself and other admins in public without any attempt to contact me with whatever it is that is bothering you so much first. I think we deserve better than that.
