I know I've been bitchy in some threads and I apologise for that.

I think we need more games. I know that they are time consuming for the game leader but they are such good fun and lots of people get involved. The Deal Or No Deal game was a huge success and it would be great to have more games like that (even another round maybe??). I know we have the Murder Game coming up (:thumbsup: ) but after that it would be good to see another game.

Were planning an xfactor style game which should be a hoot.

The problem is most posters register with a free email address that they never check. So in time they forget about SBs. I sent out a reminder email last week and a lot of the hotmail accounts bounced. One of the reasons of getting dedicated hosting is so we can have more features on the site which hopefully will encourage more people to join in.

As for people being bitchy etc, I guess that's just human nature. I would like to see less of bitchiness and more discussion as that what the forums are for. The forums have had their ups and downs so I hope its all up from here.

Its so easy to post something without givin a reason for it. At least if I say EE is Crapor discusss the merits of smoking I give my reasons for it rather than making a post and then refusing to justify it or present a reasoned argument for my point of view

Obviously aimed at me!

That's in the past! Must you still mention it?

Sorry to disappoint you but NO it wasnt. I was giving an opinion in response to another post. I have already told you that I would not be discussing the merits of the smoking ban with you as it proved a pointless and futile excercise. Just ignore my posts as I will yours and then we will both be happy:)

Sometimes you have to agree to disagree and move on!

Seems it's best not to say anything at all.

Not being funny but instead of carrying it on with comment like the quote you made (the one that disappered) why dont you just be the bigger person and let it go???

if you make comments like that then people will keep going on and on!

i thought this thread was made because of things like this!

People arent getting at you, if other people answer like that then people would probably say the same to them.
If you think im getting at you then im sorry, I only replied to say that you were actually telling the truth and that you had actually replied

I deleted the post because you were continuing an argument. People don't come to this board to see members having a go at each other. General discussion and debate is fine; in fact, we encourage it. Making snide remarks about other members is not fine. I'm going to comb through the last few pages on this thread and remove any inappropriate posts.

Can we please get back on topic?

I agree Em. I used to be on here loads, i had to come on at least once a day to check posts and talk to people, but now i hardly come on at all, and when i do i really don't post alot. Back in the day (the beginnings of Soapboards) there used to be jokey things, and races to see who got so many posts first and stuff like that, but now everything seems to be very proper in a way, if you comment something it has to make sense and mean something otherwise it gets ignored or argued. Fair enough i have been rather busy of late what with exams and things, and therefore i don't have the time to come on as much as i used to, but when i do come on i want to read up on things i'm interested in and have a chat with people, i don't want to have to argue or feel bad about a message i posted.

Alot like Layne, I haven't really been on alot due to exams and personal things. When I joined it was great - I posted most days and you could post without having to argue your point. I've posted less and less recently because I stopped watching EE and didn't have anything to talk about. It was only a week ago when the Spice Girls got back together that I started posting again and that turned into an argument. I know I was involved but it just got to me that alot of members seem to negative about alot of things on here (sorry if you feel this was directed at you - I'm just talking in general).

I hope this gets sorted out and SBs can be like it used to be again :)
