I don't wanna pick sides cause i don't want to get 'into the drama' and i wanna be friends with everybody, but i just wanted to say that i don't think making a topic like this is going to solve the problem some of you guys have with each other. The only thing that's going to happen here is people bashing eachother.. which makes it all even worse. "well you did this.." "yeah but you did that first!" Now.. i'm not saying who is wrong and who is right (i think you're all nice and never have had any problems) but what will this topic solve in the end? nothing.. am i right? Believe me i know, i've gotten into the drama on a different forum, and it's just not worth it.

I'm just sad this had to happen again. That period where you were gone was the best time the forum has seen. Too bad you had to go reinfecting us. I'll bet it took a TON of convincing for you to come back *rolls eyes* Oh well, you know how I feel about you Matt, I made that abundantly clear in the Playboy thread, before your melodramatic little exit. You're a kiss-ass, and a whiner, and this forum appears to be your whole life. And, apparently unbeknownst to you, a lot of people feel the same way I do. Why else would I have gotten so many "thank you" PMs following your departure? So he was a meber before and came back? Who was he before? is this the same Matt that was Champion of Hotness?

Yes indeed. We were briefly friends, until he decided he didn't like me having my own opinion, so started some huge row in a thread about his girlfriend loving Playboy.
I told him where to stick it, and he deleted his account. Only to come back after some members allegedly "convinced" him.
So yeah, like the most irritating of movie villains, he just kept coming back...

So yeah, like the most irritating of movie villains, he just kept coming back... Thanks for clearing that up, I was a little hazy on what you were meaning. I think you and Insanity pretty much nailed the issue exactly. Matt, i think you should maybe apologise to Flobbster and try and buckle down a bit, as it seems you've twisted a few nerves. Maybe then everyone can move on and forget about the whole things, rather than there becmoing a big divide in the forum

The purpose of this thread is not a "bash _____ thread" This is a thread for people to say exactly what they feel. It's what Matt wanted. I am not editing or deleting or doing any Mod. work. Apparently there are lots who have held back. Say what you want in an attempt to get everything out in the open and on the table to lead to a better solution.

I did write a whole big post in the other thread earlier so i really can't be assed pulling it back out! lol. I think it works both ways. Just because Tim isn't on the forum all the time, doesn't mean he deserves the boot from his position! We are all big boys and girls and don't need him caring for us all the time and as Hadley said, he has been through alot I'm guessing. Chad, i think is a wonderful guy (most of the time) and he keeps this place alive and kicking. He is in collage now and still continues to take this place on and do well. I knew from the second of reading this post that it would turn into this so i think, Mattitude, if you just kept your bitching between PMs. I know you don't see it as bitching and that you are just speaking up, thats cool, but your saying that other people feel the same way as you..where are they? Backing you up on this? If you have the guts to speak out like this, why don't they back you up so the forum can sort this and move on.. ASAP! ---- afer ---- And about the trashy banners thing. I thought DL was a hypocrite when i read his post because, like you Matt, i thought he has a cheek with half the banners he has had in the past but he is admitting that it was wrong and stupid of him. Personally i think your banner is really sexy, but not for a BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER ACTION FIGURE DISCUSSION FORUM. There is so far you can go. I done a CC playboy banner once which was really cool but i didn't use it because of this issue, even though her nipples were made to blend out so you aren't seeing them. Thats just one of the rules. The forum is about Buffy..not sexy blonde's in a dolled photo shoot. I think the saying that needs to be said to everyone on this forum is- NOBODY IS PERFECT! Most of us have done something at one time or another on this forum which hasn't gone down well. Thats life..we get on with it! Last year i was banned from the forum for using shorthand typing (like i use all the time on MSN) and when i was banned i was so angry and upset because i thought..Just because 3 or 4 people can't understand the new quick type on a computer..why do they bother having a computer then?? But then when i thought about it..It would be totally different if another member was continuously posting in a manner that i didn't like..so you see it works both ways and i accept that now. ..NOBODY IS PERFECT..! Who is with me!? ;D

I still hate that quick hand typing - it's easier to spell the words out. So, ok afer, I guess you don't feel that I should have a computer because I hate that stupid shorthand typing in a forum. That's pretty rude... What you said about your Charisma banner is along those lines - there's a time and a place for it - and there is a time and a place for that way of typing, and it's not here.
I really don't think the banners are an issue here, but hey - like Tim said, speak out. So I spoke about the typing, but like it was stated earlier, this place is meant to be clean and appropriate and full of educated people - which we are!!

I support the "NO SHORTHAND TYPING" policy. It's the 21st Century! We're all avid computer-users, so we should show that we know how to use them!

I definitely agree, Hadley. The way you typed before, Afer, it was like "hey guyz i leik buffy nd im writen dis new fanfic itz gnna b greAt my favrit eppy iz the 1 whre spIke nd faith go 2 da...." I couldn't bear to read them. Now though, I enjoy reading your posts and chats because I can see what an intelligent person you are. Before it was like....gahh.

Honestly I never thought there was a problem with the way the form was runing. When I saw that thread Matt created I said what the f**ck and laughed cause it was a desperate attempt at getting attention...Waaaa.....Cry Baby!! This ain't Starwars Matt and your not the emperor and the members of this form are certainly not a bunch of mindles clones you can brainwash!!!

To Hadley, FC - SideStrike is right..That whole post was about me kinda admitting for all the mistakes I've made in the past and apologizing for them. Thanks SS! Dave- Lmao..Love the impression I'll admit i did used to type like that..sorry ..and thanks for the intelligent comment lmao..woohoo ;D And when i said that about people not liking shorthand, not having a computer- That is what i was feeling at the time because i was angry and assumed that everybody knew what i was meaning in my posts but chose not to because they were lazy and couldn't be bothered reading it. That was selfish! lmao I'm owning up, not bringing it up! lol

That's pretty rude... I believe he said that he realized he was wrong I can never convey tone very well on here.. I caught a couple more rereads after, and my reply was a bit half-serious, half-funny, and so I didn't mean afer harm by my comment. I'm still not a shorthand type fan.. but I live..

This aint Starwars Matt and your not the emperor and the members of this form are certainly not a bunch of mindles clones you can brainwash!!! O.o... that went right over my head, but I will guess and say, BURN! XD Okay, since this open for anything, I would like to point out this out-burst of spam that has hit the forum lately. I am really annyoed at certain people who will start a new thread and post information that has always been posted. Or start a poll, wait 5 minutes then asnwer their question in a second post... I think people should double check to make sure what they are starting a new thread of hasn't yet been done.

Can I also say that i encourage every member to check this thread out because this is such a refreshing way to sort issues that we have..We all love a little bitch! lol. So i hope everyone takes Flobbs PM seriously and checks it out becuase i feel much more honest and forward..this thread isn't just about The Tim/ Chad thing..Make it whatever your problem is with members or whatever hear, we need to sort things out!

I just think Matt should offer us an honest explanation of his actions, minus ass-covering/kissing, or sideways comments about alleged evil "sources" etc. and then be on his merry. I notice he hasn't bothered to even apologise or address any of the (extremely valid) issues raised, instead grasping at straws like Travis' Aquaman banner. He needs to stop trying to foist blame onto other people, and accept some himself. That or disappear, either is fine by me

Oh, I in no way was citing that making a CC banner was bad - I gave you kudos for knowing that is wasn't forum-friendly and that you used good judgment. I am a huge fan of CC and probably would have loved it - so I was not making a banner comment at all - hope that clears it up ! I'm sorry for the confusion!
