Isn't the answer patently obvious? Don't post on FF if you don't want or can't hack the ride. The mods are nuts (sorry Jimmymac). The clientelle you wouldn't wipe off your shoe if you trod on them. Druggies, headcases, ex-pats who are off their little trollies, addicts who have nothing to lose. Can anyone tell me what FF have done for the emulation scene in the last couple of years?

Fruit-Emu has produced more new layout designers than anywhere over that period.

Fruit-Emu is fun. FF isn't. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to work that out. Try and have some fun over there and you get slated by all the regular unemployable, pimptastic morons who frequent it.

Yeah, but you still post.

FE probably has more 'unemployable, pimptastic morons' than FF, but thanks to moderation, they don't rule the roost here (and I'm not saying FF is ruled by morons - it's not quite that bad, and the problems there are long-standing and a bit more subtle than you give credit).

Most of us who visit FF do so (I assume) because (a) we've been going there for as long as six years, and old habits die hard ( there are still enough intelligent people posting there to make it worth visiting © lack of moderation means you never know what to expect, and are sometimes pleasantly surprised.
The downside (d) is that said lack of moderation means a lot of unpleasant shite has to endured to find to the good stuff.

Just to piss on point (d) its supposed to be moderated..............

'supposed' being the operative word.

I've seen much evidence of moderation there.

[g-man]

Whoops, I meant to say I've NOT seen much evidence of moderation there.

When it's been applied it's tended to be more or less arbitrary. It's just not been consistent.

Just a minute Gaz - we aren't all like that at all.

I have been a member there since August 2002, and I have had differences with a few people on there, but you cannot call everyone that visits FF the things you just said they were above. I am certainly not one of that category at all.

I have mentioned on DADs that I do not agree with how the moderation has been run on there over the past few months and I most certainly have made it clear how disgusted I am at what has gone off in the last couple of days - it is a very sad low for FME, but I do not like to be tarnished as being 'bad' because I post there and I don't like to be made to feeling bad because I post there.

I post at most of the FME sites - because I love FME - full stop. Does that make me bad and tarnish the other sites because I also post at FF?

Fruit Forums was one of the first sites I came across about FME six years ago, well that and MPU World. It has been a big part in those years to the soap opera that is FME, and like most forums there is disagreement. There is here, and on other FME sites too. I have seen some bitter arguments and disagreements here, but like most sites, with moderation, it can be kept in check. Like I said, FF is lacking good moderation at the moment.

I hope FF can pull through what has been some dark times over the past few weeks, but I am NOT a unemployable, pimpastic moron. I am a 40-something disabled fan and member of an FME forum site!

Yeah exactly and the person who is responsible for taking it down (and attempting to take down DADs TWICE) is banned from Fruit Forums for a week... yes that is correct A WEEK! Now you tell me is that fair and consistent?

Big respect to Harvey for putting family first. Now this other idiot tibby is it, only I thought tibby was the cats name. Anyway this tibby, let me have five minutes with the prick and he won't be posting shite or threats anymore.

O RLY?

Peanut.

[mythicos]

Oh I signed up did I?

Man those must have been good drugs, because I have no recollection of ever signing up there.

[mythicos]

That depends on whether I'm sleeping alone or not.

Anyways run along back to your forum, check some more I.P's and keep on wishing.

Tata.

[mythicos]

So you know this I.P to be mine, how?

Oh I get it ! because it came from the USA? lol.

Ever heard of more than one person per household? Or was Oldskooler and I both the same person aswell then?

Anyways. The last account I had on there was banned by you (you even bragged about it) so that was cool wasn't it?

And why would you want me to post there? so you can abuse me, call me by my real name, post photos of me and then ban me?

Or would your moderator muscles flex so fast that you would just ban me?

As I said, dream on.

As for this extremely blinkered one sided thread? hilarious !

It's utterly amazing how so many #@#@#@#s can all appear in the same place at the same time really, isn't it?

Or is the peripheral vision so utterly terrible around here that.....

You know what? I don't even know why I'm bothering to post this. I mean FFS you can't talk to a stupid alcoholic with shit for brains.

[mythicos]

Someone using my PC? And you know it was my alienware workstation... how?

Do you even know where I am? what part of the world? what state? city or town?

Or did you just see a USA I.P address and automatically assume it was me?

Sorry to break it to you man, but I would drop the sherlock holmes routine.

I have no ambition of joining, signing up or posting to that forum.
