Design Forums - Graphic Design & Web Design Forums

I imagine levi's last 3 paragraphs were indeed giving reasons for the "ignoring" of posts, and not at all saying you fall into these brackets - but if someone doesn't know the answer to a question of yours, it might.

Tom's a kumquat!!!

Hi Tony,

I'll be honest I've either missed the threads/posts where you've been flamed or read them differently?

Looking back at the threads you've started it looks like you was enjoying the forums and getting something in return for your participation in threads. With regards to your recent thread asking what to quote for work, Ross did make a valid point I think with those questions.

It's reasonable to ask of course, but you receieved a couple of replies and didn't reply back, I think in terms of being specific, you could have included an overview of your past experience/knowledge/skillset to get more specific replies.

That's my views on it all
Cheers, Greg

Yaaaaay Thank you! Im just a quiet one.......

I don't think bringing up and linking that thread is particularly cool. Not exactly a happy time in my life.

I wish I'd never bothered replying to this thread.

I've removed that thread link, it wasn't included to bring back bad times for you, it was just an example of a thread you'd started where you seemed to be enjoying using the forums. The words 'wires' and 'crossed' spring to mind at the moment.

exactly and other people joining at the same time (or later) as you have a different one so there must be a difference between us - the obvious one is the difference in the amount of time spent joining in and posting etc. You should know from your own time on forums (and in real life) that it takes more than a comment here and there to get to know another person.

never said it was

I joined in on conversations and helped where I can, it can make a huge difference to getting the feel of the place.

I managed easy enough, 5-6 posts a day isn't that many and on average there's at least 5 new threads a day so that's like 1 post in each. Not hard, it takes roughly half an hour to do although I'll admit I do come on more often than that through choice.

I think you may want to read my post again, especially the last 3 paragraphs, as you seem to have taken a very hostile attitude to my response. I'd also say that it's quite clear that those 3 paragraphs are not directed at you personally as they're generalisations as to why no reply is given to a post (ie your first post in the thread)
.
The simple fact of the matter is that by joining in, irrelevant of post count, I have over time gotten to know the characters of the 'regulars' on this forum and as such have become known to them as well.

We've had new people come in after me and they've been welcomed and as they've joined in more they start playing around with the random banter, look at xxmissbirdyxx and rennicks posts - neither are taking the others post seriously.


EDIT: due to the newer post

If you joined the forum when you were in a darker place then you will have taken a different interpretation to everything around you. I am and have been relatively happy the entire time I've been on this forum so it will make a difference.

Best thing for you to do is totally ignore what's happened in the past as it clearly wasn't a good time for you and join in from now and see how you feel in a while.

It's Renniks, Without the c...
I've posted 1420 times, and you still can't get it right Levci!!

well it's not my fault if you're spelling it wrong

I hope not My surname's been spelt Skinner since I was born, and it backwards doesn't materialise a 'c'

what even spelling your last name wrong, thats just dreadful. Mr Skcinner, it's detention for you

it's ironic how long this thread is considering it's title. Totally unrelated but I think it's funny!

Sorry you feel disenchanted by the forum Tony. Hope you'll hang around and stick your oar in here and there. I've found this to be the most helpful and friendly forum I've visited.

Guys, If we are going to argue about something and fall out big time can we at least do the following:

1. Fall out over something really BIG and momentous, ideally with a creative bias so at least we can take our creative bat and ball home.

2. Ensure that I am at the centre of the explosion, as I haven't a rumble for ages........

3. Make sure it involves a Mac or PC somewhere.

4. Features a crappy logo or some free speculative work.

5. Involve at least a paragraph of the "My Dad's bigger than your Dad' scenario

6. Involve the obligitory 3 pages of Tim and Onartis freestyling banter of one word responses between themselves that nobody in the EU apart from themselves has any understanding of the relevance to the actual post.

.......Definetley think it's time for a competition to loosen up the creative juices.

square.

HAHA! Love Number 4 Berry!

no no no the next mac is going to be round ..... windows are usually square
