Re: Internet forums

I'm sorry Allfather but are you just trolling GD? Or was that a reference to theamions sister? (If he has one, I thought it was KoeN with sisters?)

Re: Internet forums

What pig wrote triggered an idea in my head. I think we need to know who of the board members who have sisters and then we need pics of them.

Re: Internet forums

I will tell you some of the reasons I haven't posted as much lately.

1. I have been very busy at work and, because of the time difference, the best time for me to post was while at work.

2. As you may note from the dda-II name, I am still having problems from time to time getting the forum to recognize my computer. This is annoying.

3. By the time I got to the end of this thread and was ready to post the board had, for some inexplicable reason, decided to, once again forget who I was and made me log in yet again.

Exclamation Re: Internet forums

I only decided to post this because it seems like a reasonably important issue and one which keeps popping up and which people can't get over for some reason. It just really pains me to see people at each other's throats for no reason.

First, people need to tolerate each other a lot more. Actually, that's not true. They need to understand each other first. I was here for donkey's years (often as a mod, which did not, in the day, particularly lend itself to 'getting on' with people) and I was on friendly terms with plenty of people who mutually loathed each other, for reasons which I never really understood. I've never really had a grudge against anyone on here or invested the amount of bile which some people seem to sling at each other. It's silly.

My life is just too irregular at the moment to be able to post on either board, (Don't want to bore you with the details, but I have enough trouble just supporting myself, two years after leaving uni I still don't have a job, I was pretty much hooked on coke for a while, I have to look after my dad who is disabled etc.), but if I did, I wouldn't regularly post on either forum anymore. My life has just moved on from this. I don't mean that in a condescending way - quite the opposite. This community was an important part of my life for many years and I still very much appreciate the time I spent here. But I just don't feel the same attachment that I once did. There are more important things for me now, probably the same for many people, I expect. None of you live around here either, which doesn't really help in keeping my 'connected', I expect.

I was pretty foolish myself about a lot of this for a while, and I still think that PB was kind of childish in it's inception - there seemed to be quite a bit of 'getting on over' on certain people on GD which I couldn't really understand. But I don't hold that against people who use PB because it seems to work for them, and the same for people who use GD. I used to feel that PB was too 'low-brow' and that GD had become too 'high-brow', but that is really a symptom of there not being enough users in both to sustain a lot of variety. People just have to stop considering themselves 'PB' or 'GD' and get back some of that old community spirit which was so invigourating back in 'the day'. People should feel free to post on one board or the other without being dragged into defending that. They should, ideally, post on both, but obviously that can't happen in many cases.

Anyway, that is what I have to say. Take it or leave it. I had written a slightly better, more coherent reply earlier, but my browser torched that one. Oh well. I just hope you can resolve this and that people don't stop talking to each other over it. Stop the player hating. Anyway. All my love to all of you. xxxxx

Re: Internet forums

I don't post that much because i have things to do, and quite frankly im glad for a more sedate pace, i certainly don't want SA type dull repetitive activity*. I much much prefer the occasional very interesting post. Every forum of this kind on the internet is 'dying' and its fairly obvious why - alternatives. In the late 90s early noughties vbulletin type places attached to game/car/fashion sites was the place people went and the internet exploded in discussion (they were communities). The number of people on the internet hasn't decreased (quite the opposite) its just that now people go to myspace/bebo/orkut/hi5 literally inumerable other 'community websites' that have sprung up, i mean jesus christ had anyone heard of last.fm (i ****ing hadn't) and apparently its worth a £140 million?!? The pace of change is so rapid i don't know where to click what to get when. Two years ago livejournal was 'the thing' and everyone was opening one up, then everyone started a ****ing blog, the myspace et al STDs erupted via teen whores now everyones either starting a youtube type site or loggin on to one, is dailymotion the new thing or is it livevideo or revver or are you meant to watch live on stickam, the porns at youporn i think.

Basically these types of forums are becoming like ye olde usenet places. Theres as much of a revolution occuring now as there was then but i just can't be arsed to take part becuase

a)i hate hate HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE signing up to anything
b)teenage whores have nothing to say
c)far too many sites
d)its a bubble so **** it

d is the most interesting, considering the fickle nature of the internet how the **** can anyone pay money to fund/buy these sites??? the last.fm people will leave that site in the blink of an eye when they get bored and all they'll be left with is people mumbling 'what happened'



*what i consider to be

There's a GD group there...so yeah. Skiddy posted a link to AudioSproggler (which is the same company/thing) well over a year ago and quite a few people here signed up. It's also based on quite a simple but clever idea, and Last.fm (unlike MySpace, or Facebook) doesn't really rely on you doing anything to keep increasing their "value".

While the valuation of these companies always seem dodgy, they're just high risk investments. There's probably someone who lent the MySpace people a $1m at some point, and we'd all laugh at their idiocy. But then Rupert Murdoch bought the site for $500m (!) and anyone who got in on Day 1 is looking pretty shrewd. I heard Facebook at one point was holding out for $2bn which most people laughed at. But then someone pointed out that if you consider that they had comparatively good marketing data on ten million American college students (i.e. the future high earners) on a range of things, $2bn looks kind of paltry.

Whether these sites are worth these sums is debatable, but I can understand why people invest. Something like Facebook, if done properly (and if reaching a critical mass) could have huge marketing potential and arguably could go even further in providing a service indirectly or directly.

To take one simple example - let's look at employment agencies. I'm not sure what the combined market value of Reed, Adecco, Kellys, Office Angels, etc is but it must be pretty vast if you consider the number of branches, and what each branch must have to make, the rates charged for each temp/perm appointment and so on. Certainly at the low end of the market (for studenty type jobs) they provide very little else but a slight CV tailoring service, and then an introduction. We're recruiting a temp at present, we speak to the usual suspects, they forward on some CV's (some entirely inappropriate) - we pick one, hire the person for four months, and the agency makes however much (probably £2k or so) for what...forwarding on a CV? Processing some payrolls?

I mention this because a "networking" site done properly could easily replace large swathes of the employment agency market without much technical innovation. And then you can move your attention to estate agents, which in London at least seem to have offices every 10 feet.

The point is that these businesses in the "old economy" (sigh) made (or are still making) huge sums of money for doing very little. The internet will change them all drastically, but the thing that's stopped them being washed away much quicker is the issue of reputation / quality control / etc. Once a web site (of whatever model, doesn't need to involve networking at all) "solves" that problem - in the eyes of the wider public audience - they will make insane amounts of money. The profitability will decline in time of course, but people in on the ground floor of whatever venture it is will look pretty shrewd.

Re: Internet forums

Mer would tell me off if she knew I posting on here...

I usually read GBS and SH/SC and sometimes a couple of the more interesting sub-forums over at SA. The SA forums are pretty cool, and you shouldn't get put off from the sheer size of them, or the fact that it's full of elitist faggots.

What's that? An internet forum full of elitist faggots? Surely not!

I think I can count on two hands the number of times I've posted on GD in the last year, and I haven't read as much as I used to between 2000 to 2005. I'm not sure what to put that down to, although I think that what Yahwe said earlier in this thread about all the old regular's all having job's now is quite true. Although in my line of work I can read/post on internet forums all day long (before any funny jokes, I'm a software developer these days).

As well as that, the old regulars are all, well, older. I started posting on here when I was 20, and I'm now 27 and a lot different now to how I was back then. Some of them will have naturally grown out of it, or for some other reason can't post any more. There are still quite a few of the old regulars around though, so it doesn't seem that different a place.

which is odd given that of those she knew few remain and those that do are those who got on well with her.

I hear Belgy's so fat that his fingers have merged together and he just has flippers now meaning, in effect, he's only posted twice.

Re: Internet forums

I still read GD every now and then, and my attempts at posting in other forums has failed. SA became too big, the mainstream ones (to discuss politics) are too racist /full of crap and small forums for specific interests are too narrow.

But yahwe is onto something. I got no time to sit around writing long posts (or short ones) anymore, as there is little revising to do. Work takes up a lot of time, and the few hours I got to myself is mostly spent socializing, a thing I could do before all the time (when I went to school or did nothing). Infact, I'm supposed to be revising for a exam now.

In my opinion, this is still one of the better (if not best) forums. The reason is the difference in posters opinions, thoughts and backgrounds (even if we're mostly european middle class) while not being shit. That's something rare on the internett (or in life, for that matter)

Edit: I just realized that not posting often has destroyed my English. I always got top marks in written English, and I think this forum is part of the reason.
