LegalEagle-ish Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Totally funny comments though. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/8428-mmmmi-wonder-who-this-is-an-old-friend-of-ours-methinks/#findComment-258681 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Well... we do get quite a few daft posts on this forum, I wouldn't be surprised if someone taking a quick glance got a less-than-favourable impression.

Brendan Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 To be honest I don?t read 90% of it. I just re-read my own post a lot because they?re absolutely bloody brilliant.

annaj Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Well, at least that solves the problem of were we can all go when the forum shuts down for the holidays. *waves to Mikecg*You're really showing us this time, Mike.

Moos Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I agree with LE, the comments are funny, and you can see where they're coming from. The post about the African restaurant (ie the original here on the EDF) was unbelievable.

annaj Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 You're absolutely right, Moos. Which of us can honestly say we didn't think "this place is bonkers/weird/sad/not something I'm ever going to use except to find a plumber" when we first logged on?Some days you could flick through the first page in each section and find a few laughs and a few good points, but far too many days if you just took a glance, you'd just see oddness.

annaj Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I was kind of thinking of you when I posted, Quids. Or at least I was thinking about that angry, chip-on-shouldery, would-never-admit-to-being-middle-classy guy with the same name as you who used to hang around here. ;-)* *Full smiley to indicate that I'm doing my best to overcome my recent tetchy mood.

annaj Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 ps. The comment about the African Restaurant was awful, as I think most people said at the time, but it was also months ago. Isn't it a bit suss that someone new, just taking a quick look at the forum, just happened to find it in it's current location on the 22nd page of the Gossip section? I'd say there's more than one poster on urban75 who has an agenda.

Moos Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Possibly Anna. But also possible that people came, saw, sighed, left, and months later were reminded of the awfulness of what they read by a thread about how awful the EDF is?I've seen many posts on here posted by narrow-minded people, stupid people, thoughtless people, prejudiced people, hysterical people and people just not in control of their tempers. (My posts are, of course, without flaw)In fact, if you take out the pure factual, transaction-based posting, it feels as though the crap posts are more than half of what's posted. I only hang around because of the quality of the rest, and the people that I know. So I don't blame the nay-sayers a bit. But it's a bit naff to go on a forum to slag off another forum. If you don't like it, just don't use it. The forum isn't responsible for what people who log onto it say, and the mods can't delete everything they don't like, or there wouldn't be much left.

annaj Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Yes, it's perfectly possible and I agree with you absolutely about the tone and quality of many threads and posts. I can only imagine how it would come across on a bad day to someone looking for the first time. But I find the whole business of going onto an internet forum to slag off another forum really odd.

mockney piers Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I have to say that if I didn't have to look in the gossip section I'd happily give it a wide berth. On the while it's a pretty unpleasant place sadly.It just makes the lounges light shine oh so brighter and keeps it free ish of troll infestation.

HonaloochieB Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I don't know we could perhaps bring a bit of decorum, good manners and dare I say it class to the place.Come on everyone let's shopw these pinch-faced oiks how gentlefolk conduct themselves.Noblesse Oblige and all that.

Keef Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I only look at the lounge, and occasionally poke my head round the door of the drawing, and family rooms. There have been times when I've felt it has all gone to shit, and not just because of BBW before anyone says it. I can also genuinely understand the accusations of cliqueiness that have no occasion been levelled. I don't think there is any intention, but if I had first come to this site in the last 12 months, I honestly don't think I'd have been a regular visitor. But who cares about these people anyway, I'm old skool, so fuck 'em.

Windom Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 as a more recent frequenter of the forum i can say they are talking bollocks. Majority of posts are helpful when people are soliciting info, good natured or downright amusing.although the yummy mummy/pram brigade threads tend to get a bit heated/strange its all par for the course when they have taken over the streets in their droves......:) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/8428-mmmmi-wonder-who-this-is-an-old-friend-of-ours-methinks/#findComment-258951 Share on other sites More sharing options...
