[Closed] The usual suspect, where have they all gone?

I miss surf mat, I know a lot of folks seemed to get all steamed under the collar by him, but at least he had a honest enthusiasm which made a nice change from all the usual grumpy fat middle aged giffers on here 😀

I don't count as one of the "nice ones" but I've been on a lot less due to going slightly mental again 😥 and being a bad boy 😕

you were to slow mate..........i saw it all.

Peeping Ton 😯

everything too

A few personalities seem to have left or reduced their frequency which has left the place a little less lively and animated and dare I say it's become boring. But I guess that's what the majority want. There were people who had opinions and weren't afraid to air them, now there seems to be a climate of hiding behind tags rather than have balls.

I would like to see surfmatt come back and a lot of other good people.

Keep the good people and get rid of the assholes, I for one am tired of their shit!

i do miss surfmat, especially when threads appear like the one earlier today with the whole registering the birth and death at the same time situation.. he always had some good advice on that subject sadly for him 🙁

despite his car-induced enthusiasm he seemed pretty genuine and headstrong, 2 qualities i admire.

I would like to see everyone come back or at least pop in from time to time to say hello.
Good to see SFB back too. I look forward to seeing more of your photos. second back.

I would like to see Genesis and Surfmatt come back

was Genesis here at the beginning? 😉 😛

seriously though i can honestly say i've never heard or seen a thread by of him/her??

Wot he said

that floating cat is well scary 🙁

I think he started the first ever thread

Those who have flounced off should stay away. Naming them & saying that you 'miss such & suchabody, I wish they were back' in threads like this will only pander to their egos & overinflated sense of self importance.

All imho of course..

I was starting to strangely warm towards Fred. Where is he?

Pot, Kettle, you on crack ❓ 😯

it's the circle of liiiiiiiife
people come and go
apart from me
I've been here since 2003.... 😳

I have no interest in who is here or not and why some may or may not be here. They, whoever they are, have no greater value than anyone else. Although who ever flounces off next can you take the ****ing lol cats with you? Thanks

idave - you are a beautiful soul just stuggling to get out of that shell of surly****ishness aren't you. Never mind poppet, try some breathing exercises it may help with the blood pressure 😀

just for you

I miss the original (charmingly nutty Kaesae)!

The new one is nice too - but less 400+ post threads.

people leaving from their own free will does nto bother me it is there choice.
When they are forced to leave or feel they have to/have been I always feel a little sad, even when i dont really like them.

one thing that amazes me on here, is how can you dislike someone you have never even met?

johnnie?

It's the coming back post-flounce/hiatus that shits me off. It's like when Bobby came back in Dallas. It never quite works. 😕

taz, thanks, but my beautiful soul is already very laid back and happy, just don't get the personality cult stuff on here and have yet to see a lol cat that is actually funny. but your effort is admirable and has been noted.

suppose you form a picture based on what they post. Suppose I could say the online persona if you prefer

iDave I agree with you completely about the personality cult thing, there are some folks will always brighten a bad day and some who have a decent knowledge about bikes/tyre geeks/weight weenies who are top banana and some I don't understand at all, but it's all just a bit of fun, some people behave like it's real life or something?

some people behave like it's real life or something?

if you don't believe this is real interaction you are delusional

but it's all just a bit of fun, some people behave like it's real life or something?

johnnie............please mate.

and i agree with taz..............it is all fun.

Maybe it was more interesting when people put a bit of themselves and their souls into it instead of trying to be something they're not.

I agree with you, the one time you don't need pretence is with strangers as they have no preconcieved ideas or expectations of how you should behave and so you can just be "you"

and the worst thing you can do is to pretend to be something you are not.
cos if you end up meeting someone they will think you are a cock, and you dont want that do you............. 8)

i defer to ton's online persona for fear of internet fist pie - is that better then? 😉
I dont get why people need a persona - you are pretty much the same in the real world as I asume am i.
Like barnes says it is real. If i ring you up and insult you is that somehow different from doing it to your face, sending you a letter or doing it on here? why does it suddenly not become personal?
i dont actually mean to you Ton I mean to someone in general

and so you can just be "you"

And the "you" is a real person, yes, it's all a bit of fun but there are real people from real life.

yes but the interaction is false as there is no eye contact, ability to detect body language etc... I'm sure it's why some things turn into massive spats over what to one person is seen as a throw away comment and to another is seen as a deadly insult

If the object of the fun objects I conclude it is not actually fun.

**** me..............why do you lot always start talking in ways i can't understand.......... 🙄
