Clear the air

Ok so it seems we're all squabbling and falling out a bit at the moment. If anyone wants to add any suggestions to improve the forum in a positive way, please say so. Can I just ask that any personal digs towards each other stop, they are unnecessary and, if we're honest, a bit childish. I like a good old debate as much as anyone else and am more than happy to be involved in a heated argument from time to time, it can be quite entertaining. I want to see more posting and I want the posting to pick up, I enjoy this forum that's why I have 11,000 or so posts. Have fun folks, life's meant to be a bit of a laugh

I would like this but tapatalk won't let me!
LIKE.....

 

[m3fitter]

So Rubi or Stinkma hahha ;-)

 

[Qwerty]

Well said.

To add to that, if anybody has suggestions which they may not want the whole forum to see then I'm sure I speak for all of the mods when I say we would happily receive PM's.

Ultimately we all want the same out of the forum.....to share and obtain advice, experiences and a laugh.

Absolutely, I'll always do what I can to help anyone out.

I am posting more than I used to because I do not feel that I will be put down for expressing my opinion on the Forum now. Keep up the good work Bri

sounds very political.... i find in general, as a rule, in my tender 45 years on this planet, that insecurity and lack of confidence breeds outwardly offensive behaviour as a defence mechanism, but i may be wrong.. we're always learning ;-)

I remember feeling very intimidated when I first joined, there are some very big personalities on this forum (a good thing) and sometimes it can be a bit daunting joining in on a thread when no one knows who you are, it doesn't take long to settle in and quite often text can be read in several different ways, it's the same with all forums, I think maybe that's just human nature, you don't become good mates with someone after talking to them for 10 minutes, it takes a bit of time to get to know peoples personalities and sense of humour.

reading this one I think I had a big role in clamping down on all of the biggots! lol I seem a fool on this forum to most but at least I have helped people realise on here that we are only human at the end of the day. half of my posts have been idiotic and stupid at times.... maybe a couple more tea bags would sort this place out haha.

on a real note I think the forum would be better if the arguments (if aimed at one individual were handled in a more professional manner i.e through p.m.'s or in the arms. people who come on here to read the great advise that is sooooooooo widely spread on this site due to posts turning into arguments do not want to read it as it gets boring. its hard to get into a good debate on here without people becoming a little childish and digging with sly comments and all other ways to get blood boiling....

its just a site guys. show your work off, help the d.i.y'ers achieve a bathroom that is no where near a pro standard. but don't knock them down because of it. get on and have a laugh as life is too short and the majority of the tillers on this forum are nearly at the end of there career, so tbh I wouldn't bother stressing over a tag or a special name for certain members. get on with work and earn some bluddy money!

To be fair I was the same when I first joined but never having used a forum before just kept reading and trying to understand the run of it, I think that goes with any forum but there are alot of keyboard experts, some live up to their advise some do not (or talk the talk) which I have seen over 7 years of being here.

I have seen similar arguments start and fade away but you need rules, which must adhered to and a sense of direction.

 

[Andy Allen]

I find myself posting less .....mainly cause I can't be bothered anymore..

now certain members have left, some of the advice floating round here is laughable, and when you try to correct someone your accused of being a know it all bully, its no wonder a lot of good tilers have left the forum or post less, imo dan should have left the forum as it was.......where are all the members now that wanted the forum to change..??

best thing to happen on here recently is dean and daves little spat......what dose that tell you the direction the forum is heading ...

 

[cam_low]

I have not got the time to post these days. I wish I did as the forum has given me a wealth of knowledge. Im too busy chasing down customers for money. to$$ers

 

[AliGage]

So what needs to hapoen to the forum?

So what needs to hapoen to the forum?

well first of all I'd say we need to pack in with all the negative comments that seem to be flying around
