Holy Shit - Mainstream Message Boards are Brutal! I heart GFY
 

and no I didn't get banned... haha

I think I just used the most restraint I ever have on a message board since 1995, I swear!

It really is amazing how message boards have turned into these "things"... Its like this place had its own version of all the trolls over here, but mainstream so they didn't cuss at me or anything. Even worse. :1orglaugh

and it was a mostly female board. I can't take the cattiness!

I love this place... and love telling you all to go fuck yourself with no regard. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

pardon my venting, but this has to be one of the coolest boards on the net. :pimp

is it mainstream message boards, or just the fact it was a "female" board LOL

Probably both. :1orglaugh

Use this next time .....
 

Nice picture *saved*

:thumbsup

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

yep.

you should see the seo boards.

they are run by nazis.

fucking not crossing a t or dotting an i will get you banned on those boards.

I'm a member of several mainstream boards and they are VERY user friendly. Most are money, food and medical (personal and biz) boards though.

It's funny at some of the things the investment boards won't let get posted (one became so heavily moderated I stopped even reading it) then I come here and see all kinds of wild stuff :)

Though as far as personal information, this board is much more moderated. One of the investment boards has guys with access to Pacer and other dbs and damn if they can't dig up every piece of dirt possible and post it. Except for spam, it's a mostly self moderated board.

ive never really posted on mainstream webmaster boards. ive always found those communities to be very "hush hush" with everything and they dont like when you try and help people out.

a while back i used to post on this yahoo small biz board and was chased off because i was trying to help someone out with their AdWords account. i got a lot of rude PMs from supposed "sem agencies" telling me not to give out free info because i was taking business from them. no offense but if your main link of business is a free public board and threated by someone giving someone else advice... pick a new business

Mainstream boards are extemly boring,all fun is on adult webmaster boards.

I usually last about an hour on them. One reason I go to their shows instead.

I used to be a member of mainstream boards as well, i find them nice and friendly though you need to behave or else you'll be fucking banned! :upsidedow

Yeah I did the introduction thing, and the ask for creative input or advice thing, and the very first reply I got was "This thread is in the wrong forum, and no I don't blah blah blah people I don't blah blah blah...."

I should've known what to expect, but yet I didn't see it coming. :1orglaugh

So, I tried to stay positive in the thread and not get banned. Next thing I know, some chick is telling me blah blah blah and I get into it with her. Then just as I am about to maybe pay attention to what she is saying and give it some thought, I check out her site. Big laugh, it was terrible. Her credibility was about zero. :1orglaugh

I almost let the bitch get to me, but in the end the admin's didn't even lock my thread, they moved it, but it stayed in the green.

and oh good, I can at least call her a bitch here.

because I didn't start it! :1orglaugh

I kept telling people to be nice to me or get out of the thread, and I got "this isn't your thread! you don't own it!" Fucking women!

and you better believe I held my virtual tongue. At the risk of giving away my business to others, I shut the fuck up. It was really, really difficult.

I had this chick pretty much telling me bookmarkers are irrelevant to internet business. :1orglaugh

I was a member of a hysterectomy board where the moderators would remove anything that referred to sex (which IMO, is a pretty darned important subject to talk about when dealing with a hyster) because "young eyes" could be watching, lol. How many kids are hanging out at a hysterectomy board??!!

people are people. what can you do ?
when someone chooses to be an ass it doesn't matter what board they are on.

you just hit 13k, congrats. :)

yeah that is pretty retarded. I can't stand censorship.

I like this pic
