Abolishing join dates

Funny, how people never complained about the 2005 members, partially the 2006 members.. From what i've gathered over histroy, not even the 2004 members 2003 , 2002, 2001. Correct me if i'm wrong.

 

I think its just the education system or I.T is being introduced to 12 year olds and its more common for kids to go on to google and type "GTA HACK SITE".

Well, it generally follows the trend of GTA releases. 2004 members were definitely targeted, that's generally as far back as I can remember, but I think the 01-03 era wasn't quite as "hostile". However, around 2004, we started getting what we call "n00b rushes". I remember there being plenty of people bitching about new members for 04, 05, and 07 so as far as I'm concerned it's just the way things are.

Yeah, the continuing popularity of both a. GTA and b. the internet does not help though, but a couple of months after release it'll finally die down.

 

No dough this post will get questions and and maybe even some fighting.

Why in the hell do you people think imi is serious? I think some of the reactions of the above 07's prove exactly why join date matters.

If you'd been around longer, you would've known imi is a handful of oats shy from actual retardation.

P.S. - again; lurk moar 07's.

 

edit: also I agree with Sauron. And not only because he has a giant mace.

I would have thought people would have figured that out when I put your name forward. I guess I done be just learned more than everyguy else.

 

<3 Guybrush.

 

 

I think we need lessons in sarcasm as many a member posting in here couldn't see that my idea was retarded. You could say I was proving a point about something or another.

 

BigGamer: You saw right through it.

 

Sauron, TEoS: <3

I don't want to read everything, but this question is useless.

Don't care about your joindate, but about your posts... easy...

I think we should remove names.

Or just the French.

 

 

Can I request a lock or a move please?

Whilst it is obvious that there are many 07ers making posts that contribute nothing to this forum, that is not the case with all of us.

 

Stop f*cking repeating yourself. And that goes to everyone. We dont f*cking care.

 

If you all would just stop whining about it and get on with it, maybe you all would be more accepted here. But no, you always start the defensive and say "not all of us 07'ers are bad". Yeah it might be true, but nobody gives a sh*t. You know why? Its because your new. And even if you did make a valid point, still noone would care. Thats how online message boards work.

 

 

Respect is time and effort. We can only hope that some poor quality 07'ers will just give up after a few months and the ones that have a slight chance of becoming better will stay to become better eventually.

And if you want to be technical, this sh*t belongs in here.

 

Before anybody starts having a go at me, this topic is for discussion, it is not a suggestion.

 

Hmmmm

 

@Iminicus: I apologise for not noticing the sarcasm. It is hard to tell if somebody is being serious at the best of times over the internet.

@taureg: Repeating myself? I believe thats the first time I stated that...

 

Anyway, any usefulness of potential discussion this thread has had seems to have worn off, so I don't mind if its locked if that is what other members want.

Hey 07s,

 

Here is a Public Service Announcement. Woah is you. Now get over it and move on.

Hm, kinda ironic that an 07 member made this topic.

 

If the majority of the 07's wasn't so stupid, we wouldn't be here in the first place.

How is it ironic that an 07er made this topic? Older members seem to pride themselves on an early join date, so they are hardly going to want to create discussion of aboloshing it...

Ah, but there is no need to 'abolosh' join dates - most forums have them, and they help out gangs in un-forseen ways.

Do you read what people reply or do you simply reply? I wonder this because I think you lack the understanding off what older members are trying to make you understand. Though, it could be me and my retardation. Never know with them retards.

07 UNITE.

 

How much do is hurt you that your join dates coincide with your ego, your attidude, your intelligence?

 

I bet your join date gives you negative IQ points right? No, it doesn't. It's just a little fantasy the badlytreated 07's get when they think they are being mis-treated because of their join date. You think people pick on you because of your join date? Don't make me laugh. How do people get the material to take the piss out of you? Um, yes, your posts.

 

I think this does clarify what i'm talking about. Even if I didn't see your join date, i'll still call you an idiot and a moron.

Ok, since it seems I am to 'retarded' to get what he was trying to say, how about you tell me?

I do not see any other ways to interpret this. Nobody but an 07er would make this topic because they view themselves as superior because of this join date.

 

Edit: @Brad.: Nobody has personally had a go at me for my post material, so I am not doing this out of defence. I just wanted to create discussion on this topic.

Heh, this topic brings up an old memory of something.

 

I remember way, way back, when GTAForums switched forum software, there was a feature that showed what your registration number was. People began displaying it proudly as a badge, and an aura of elitism grew around it. If I remember correctly, which I probably don't, they got rid of it after that. I'm not sure if that's the case of if it just disappeared, but does anyone else remember that? Just sort of reminded me of that.

Are you going to tell me what I was supposed to get from that post? Or are you just going to continue insulting me?

LOL @ whoa is you. But I do agree this needs to be locked or moved. Why? Because if this topic goes, that kinda ends all the 07er e-drama topics here in Gen. Chat and we can rightfully get back to milestone topics, birthdays, and crazy news stories. And hot tubs.

Yeah fair enough. Thats a good enough reason.

 

Edit: Someone has reported me already, is there another way to alert moderators to lock the topic, I do I have to find one and PM them?

I wasn't insulting you and if I was I totally missed it. What I was getting at is you simply see the join date of the poster and reply. You don't actually read what they write and think it over. Instead, you reply. In just replying you make yourself appear dumber and dumber. Take a break in between replies. Re read the topic. Think it over. Think it over again. Then reply. Hell, walk away from the computer and go outside or something and clear your brain. Then come back and reply. Just don't continuously reply.

Theres no point. You see, you just proven yourself to be a know-it-all douche. Not only that but you will not, and i can tell this, heed any advice given, simply because your a know-it-all douche.

No need for a committee. Just get an admin/mod make a topic every month asking for names of people to ban.

 

People reply with their suggested member to ban, along with evidence of why they should be banned, that's obviously very important. Person with the most "votes" gets the ban. Or person the mod/admins deem to have the worse evidence against them. Usually it'd be the same person, it doesn't really matter.

 

I do realize I'd probably be getting a lot of votes for myself. But hey, if that's what the people want... cryani.gif

Sort of like a monthly housekeeping topic? I like it. If the main people causing all the ire and ill-will are removed by public vote - and the approval of the moderating team - it could cut out a lot of the sh*t.

Don't say that! If anything, we need more Hamishes.

I vote for Iminicus.

 

Also Widow.

 

Get those troublemakers out of here.

I've accumulated enough evidence to prove you are in fact Daniel Sayers.

 

You're my first vote dude.
