Whats the crappest forum you are a member of?

Hang on...why weren't any of my threads nominated as saddest? I think I more than qualify. I am not impressed with their (lack of) sad-sussing skills. Not at all.

Excuse my ignorance - what is Wishville? What's it all about?

I'm just very, very glad that you brushed over the gender confusion part of this thread and didn't blurt out the fact that I ALSO thought you were a bloke when we first met. Thanks.

Well, I skipped over the middle bits of this thread and went straight for the kill, so I didn't see it. Anyway, it's not like you were the only one.

1 OMD forum

2 1 year

3 The moderators are insane

1 Simple Minds

2 3 years

3 You can't reply directly to posts (at least not 6 months ago). Slow as hell.

1 A forum for cats

2 A year ago

3 Boring, boring, boring. But I needed some info for My cat Stella.

Hard to say, but it was probably Sharing the Groove where I was a member for about a year after which the server overload basically caused it to break down. The sheer number of sharing and lack of moderator control made it very difficult to participate. I couldn't say it was explicitly crap it was just nearly impossible that it functioned properly. Good things that came out of it are the Vine Factory and the Traders Den.

Not a forum. A mailing list for depressed people to cope with their depression. Everyday there was a post about how someone was so sick of it all they just wanted to die.
So I had to leave because I was getting more depressed. LOL!

Brideoffrankenstein · 15 Jun 2005, 20:57

I used to be a member of the Lush forum but it got far too cliquey and fluffy for my tastes.

I also used to be a member of the Terrorizer magazine forum which was quite cool but it disappeared several years ago when they changed the site around and its never come back

Black Alice · 15 Jun 2005, 21:29

Only here and the Ministry p*ss Army. Joined the p*ss Army to get info about gigs as Mrs J seems to post a bit.

I don't go on there anywhere near as often as I do here - tried to sit here with both up the other night - "how to confuse an old woman"

I feel more comfortable here though

scotty · 16 Jun 2005, 11:41

I'll be taking that link off the site then if that's the graitude I get, and I'll be in touch with Bill Hills SysAdmin to get this place blocked by the firewall as well. Anyway, mines MUCH better than yours and we've got new software and everything. And even if OUR band HAVE split up again at least THEY released a couple of albums, videos and DVD's within the last millenia so yah boo and sucks to you!

[flounce]

Dullest forum I've ever subscribed to was purely to get some info on an obscure techy widget and it was the only place to get support.

The Wim Wenders and Werner Herzog forums generally have tumbleweed rolling around in them and are otherwise filled with miserable krauts. Plus ca change and all that....

eastmidswhizzkid · 18 Jun 2005, 01:50

this is the only forum where i spend any time.i joined a few about the same time i joined here but....

the butt-hole surfers forum is highly annoying.can't remember my password-oh dear,never mind.

the motorhead forum (bless 'em) is full of teen-metallers,wondering "who would be the best person to fill Lemmy's shoes if he left"

Oh give over Quiffy...those people that I think you're referring to have been members for aeons and have never changed their attitudes - they've always been moaning, holier than thou ninnies who are always right

(better put loads of them before this gets cut and pasted......

You KNOW you love us, you're just in denial at the moment.

The Killing Joke mailing list 'The Gathering' is doing my head in at the moment....but I keep going as interesting snippets of new up and coming gigs keep being posted

Tsk tsk....you are talking of the place I love and the place that started this place off.....:p

I blame the weather...whenever it gets hot, people whinge.

Won't be around for a while guys.

Seems I'm just a one forum kind of guy.

Though if QB doesn't approve the pictures I recently submitted to the gallery, I might have to start divorce proceedings.

pikkrong · 18 Jun 2005, 22:57

At first it seemed to me the question was about the crappiest forum member and I thought it was a tribute thread for pikkrong.

Indrek!

Self-effacing 'me, me, ME' humour, hoping to get the bird?

That's my line.

Doesn't work mate. Tried and Crashed And Burned.

Maybe.
