MTFU you jeyer!!!!
The sun is out, people will be cheering up in there droves.
Or maybe the better weather is making people ride more and it is cutting into their forum time, making them grumpy. Or it is exam season, making them grumpy.
I usually think things are worse when I am grumpy (today I am grumpy) so perhaps should not comment.

gohan-I've learn't over the years who's threads/postings to ignore and those who are the very type which are helpful, friendly and put a bit of humour into the day.
Me, I'm always grumpy.Posted 2 years ago # -
No, I know exactly what Gohan means - I've noticed a lot more rudeness,insults, downright nastiness since the hack.
I started a thread a while ago about phrases that irritate. It was meant as a humourous dig, yet someone came on trying to provoke something, making assumptions about my riding skill and ability - all based on my irritation at the word Huck.
There's a lot more trolling these days. To be fair I now try to stick to classifieds as any serious queries just fall apart in the greta STW ego battle.

Not really.
It comes in waves, but compared to the days of The Prawn and Beer....these are quiet times Posted 2 years ago # -
it's way friendlier and more mellow these days IMO.

the sun is out, it's hotter than normal and it affect people, myself included

gohan this forum is probably at its mellowest ever. I have been hanging round under various names since about 2003 and at times it has been like going to watch bear baiting. Trolling is also pretty rare these days probably because there are only so many forums a spotty get living in his mums spare room can patrol.

all the trolls either left, grew up or got banned.

I concur with stoner and toastypants. It's been a while since any decent trolling. Smee tries his best, but he's not in the same league as beer.

I dont think beer is allowed access to the internet these days hes only allowed to scribble on the padded walls with a crayon

Can I just say that I think it's fine. There's been loads of forum rides and the vibe has been really good. Long may it continue

What is this word "jey"? I have also seen a word spelt "ghey".
It's real confusing, coz the word "gay" is pronounced the same as these tow other words are they not?
Modern slang is so dumb! If someone is stupid, call them stupid, not "jey" or "ghey". That way people won't mistake them for being homosexual.
Slang often originates from the street, soit's just bxllshit anyway.
Who cares if someone is gay anyway!
We need a campaign for real English!

Seems as if a lot of people on here are concerned about gays and theyre straight alledgedly.

well im glad its not just me who has noticed, and it got loads worse since the hack, but it has been busier too, ive been a member for longer than i can remember, since before it was sinletrackworld infact under the name blaze, and altho i keep coming back it just seems to get worse, and i would mtfu but im enough of a man to know that when there is a problem with trolls and the like its time to all chill out and just be nice for a change, ive been responsible for a few angry posts and thats not what this sites about,

Been using STW for yrs from 2002? found it great and ppl helpful nad positive.
Thought mtbers were a friendly bunch till now.
I just ignore the rudeness. But you should have to put up with it.
Personally-stick to the bike forum and ignore chat section.

Do you mean he slips on a pair of tights and hangs about with other men in forests ?
FWIW, I think that the forum is a lot friendlier since the addition of the emoticons as now you can tell if someone is being ironic/sarcastic or if they mean to be arsey.

Because despite my best efforts, I'll be f**ked if I can find it.

In fairness, I don't think you've ever been found wanting when that's the emotion you wish to project.

At least beer and the prawn were vaguely funny (when they weren't being pr&$ks), smee and the likes of AdamG are just annoying.
But, yeah overall, compared to a couple of years ago, it's pretty grown up. Couldn't have done Friday A&A back then.
