At a loose end
Okay I’m at a bit of a loose end this afternoon, whilst I wait for my laundry to dry, so I thought what the hell I’ll write another entry in my blog.

Internet Forums

You know the places where a lot of like minded people congregate and post their opinions on a wide range of subjects or any news worthy bits of stuff they have picked up during the week.

Well there are 2 words that really really wind me up “post exchange”.

For those of you who are not into the forum scene, here is how it works.

I want you to post on my forum X amount of times, in exchange I will post on your forum the same amount of times, sounds simple doesn’t it? Yes it does.

But why do they wind me up? Because you will get people who know fuck all about a subject posting crap on your forum just so they can fulfil their obligation of X amount of posts, now tell me how the hell is that going to help your forum in any way shape or form?

I wish people would stop thinking these are any good. I think some people when they become a forum admin they loose all sense of being an individual they like to follow the crowd as it were and tend not to think for themselves and think that any idea mentioned is a good idea, so they feel that they don’t run the risk of alienating themselves from fellow admins. I just wished more people would take a stand and actually think for themselves.

Until the next time, don’t have nightmares

Regards
