Hey McDude, good to see you again. Franz Ferdinand have been popular out here for quite a while now, but I only just realised the name of my favourite song "Take me Out" . I do so like a good Scottish band (still fond of the Proclaimers). One of the advantages of purchasing a cd after it's no longer a bit hit is that it's discounted.

And a big hello to Bejabers.

Okay, okay Baron; stay cool.

This is but one thread of many threads. And if someone posts a thread about which I can be of some help, then certainly I will try to contribute (as I would imagine, will most other IRs).

From your point Baron, I can understand that suddenly these old IR peeps have arrived, but really this is the only thread that is a bit lighthearted and I can't quite see what the big deal is. I'm not having a go at you; rather just stating my own observations.

It's okay AC, i'm totally cool

Just saying it in a helpful manner.

By the way, i'm not a moderator so it's really down to you what you post. But you'll only get told the same, and you'll soon see other members start to hark up about 'space wasting' posts. If you newer members want to come here and be unpopular its up to you really. But as AC pointed out, this thread is just for light hearted discussion, so there is no topic to speak of. But still no reason to then just post a ANYTHING to fill a box and be seen.

I think we appreciate that Geoexpat has a different modle to IR. It's a good site, and deserves to do well.

The problem with this thread is that what is one person's dross is another person's gold, and who is to be the arbiter of what is dross and what is gold?

But Baron, you DO set yourself up as a moderator, unofficial or otherwise, and act as judge and jury on what is allowed or not allowed. KIA seems to do a pretty good job of keeping an eye on things, and if he wants to support long-standing members then fine, that's his prerogative, but the net effect is that you ARE a moderator.

I had an email from another newbie that was posting here and he said:

"I think I'll give the new site a miss. I don't care if Baron fires off at Dr Watson and me as we deserve all the flak we get but the shots across the bows of both Likely Lad and Blackadder are unnecessary. When admin take my guns away to fire back, it just isn't worth hanging out there."

I can see his point - if someone has a go at you, you want to have a go back - it's natural.

Anyway, that's just my two-cents' worth. As I said, I like the site, and try to add value wheree I can in other threads. Let's all just try and play nicely now shall we?

>> When admin take my guns away to fire back, it just isn't worth hanging out there.

Bye bye

On that note if you don't like it here, move on. If you want to stay here, be a part of the community and live with the rules.

>> You want to have a go back

Thats the difference between adults and drama queens. You want to, but you know you should not.
