So much for the friendly site. Did you run out of biscuits or something?
Its actually has a more friendly feel to it now that the trolls are out of the takeover thread but left with the rest of the site to spout off.

As for the accusation the site made stuff up, Admin was correct twice (a take-over announced and the Culverhouse/Karsa issue) and wrong once (Lambert). If you still call that making "shite" up then that's up to you.

Anyway, assuming that the management won't want me talking about TBAR here, I will say no more on the subject for now.

You mean friendly now no-one is daring question God?

Oh and he was wrong twice. He welcomed two Texans to B6.

He was also wrong about the two Americans, right? Or are we ignoring that?

He also said Culverhouse and Karsa had been sacked.

I'm not saying he doesn't get given bits of info from places, but he looks a bit of an idiot now.

Speaking personally I've no issue with you discussing TBAR on here, as long as you have no issue with people pointing out it's flaws as they see them in return. As long as it's kept civil I don't see a problem.

Someone else said about making shite up. Aren't you meant to play the post and not the poster? 
And the Culverhouse/Karsa thing was doing the rounds before Ian said anything.

It was on twitter at about the same time in fairness when it broke.

The texans and the lambert thing have been spectacular in their distance from truth though.

As for it being more friendly does that include the lemmings offering anyone who differs in opinion an afternoon of playing with the traffic or openly labelling anyone who dares not agree a troll and emailing them as such. No wonder it is more friendly, it is like a genuine cult to those who buy into their leaders ideals, no matter what the truth is.

Certain mods on there will never foster a friendly atmosphere with open debate, no matter how many hundreds of times it is said as a mantra.

I know. Sorry I wasn't clear.

Sorry, I don't understand why you are saying that to me.

News to me then. And (rhetorical question) what makes you think its anything to do with Ian?

Anyway, I really am off now.

What has happened is that some people have pointed out that the Emperor is stark naked and the Emperor and his heavies don't like it. You can only dupe people for so long.

Because when replying to me you said "If you still call that making "shite" up then that's up to you." When I never said that.

And as it was rhetorical I won't answer the last bit.

That troll thread is Gold.

Quote
For me whats really "funny" is watching how utterly petrified and straight up jealous some of the other forums..(including the one you came from aka H&V) have acted towards this site even though it's still in it's infancy  Laughing . I mean go on both of the two "main" forums and you'll see "tbar this, tbar that"..why so obsessed? if it's as big a "joke" as some of you believe it to be why talk about it and go out of your way to sign up?  Rolling Eyes the bottom line is those forums can't handle being outshined..and that's what's causing members from each forum to be negative and want to throw stones if someone here posts something that doesn't come to pass.

I mean you go on about "defending Admin"...but is he the only man to get something wrong? on H&V they've got a bloke named "londonboy" posting "itk" which hasn't come off...on Vt they've got a guy called "mendi" posting all sorts of rubbish and now some of them clowns are bowing to the feet of some poster named "kwan" who claims he works at the "bank of america" and knows who the buyer is...so before people start judging this place they need to look in the mirror.

In closing i want to appeal to the sensible members here and say that we must not let other forum's envy ruin this place...yes there's been some setbacks but we've got a good thing going here and long may it continue....people aren't talking about this forum 24/7 for nothing.

I have literally just pissed myself at the reference to kwan so funny.
