no a forum isn't as simple as Log-on and post, on the technical side this is all there is.
but when your a member of a community it'll give a certain vibe, if you moved house from say London to Manchester do you think that just because your living in a street like you used to, surrounded by similarly earning people as yourself ... that somehow how they act, what they say, and how you will get on with them will be identical?

i don't dislike RGT because i was banned, and it has never had anything to do with that - most of ya'll don't even know why i was banned in the first place and i've heard so much crap about how the "VEGETA" was kicked out of RGT because of this that and the other ... when quite frankly me getting kicked out had nothing to do with any of you or my actions on the forum itself.
So stop bringing it up, and infact my distaste for RGT goes almost from the get go. Simply because it has a different more abrasive atmosphere than here.
;; or rather it
used to, as this place seems to follow more and more with each passing week because a good number of RGT members have come here from when RGT was down and quite frankly find me ONE user here who can honestly say this place has been the same since before christmas??
i'm begining to dislike the general atmosphere around here, rather than looking forward to what is going on ... now i have to worry about what people have said next, who is bitching at who this week, what has been said that has abstained the entire community AGAIN.
and worst of all is that sodding SHEEP mentality that seems to have moved here, from everyone having thier own opinions and post arguments lasting a good 3-4posts if that, to people taking on everyone else with contriversal topics and alot of users KNOWINGLY bating people here into fights, particularly me.
thats what i truely hated about RGT ... you couldn't say anything without some smart arse going "no actually its all blah-blah-blah and showing 60pages of crap just to prove a sodding point"
apollo members would tell your wrong, but they don't show you up doing it ... they said it in a way that almost never ended in an argument, i mean christ until most of the RGT people came here and starting with freaking Simple and his "lets see how much we can wind Raven up" attitude i hadn't got into a single flamewar over anything, then all of a sudden everything hurtles up.
RGT members are quite rough and cruel about thier comments on everything, sure so someone made a block on a matrix ... if it isn't worth the attention then don't pay it.
Don't go off on a 10page tagent about how its Sooo Crap, rather than simply feeling bad that no one posted which to be honest here wasn't actually a big deal cause there was very little posting going on - they feel bad because they think that you think thier an idiot ... i'm sure that encourages them to make something bigger and better on some strange and twisted level eh!
sorry but personally i think the RGT forums just had one terrible attitude, which might not sit well with me because mine is hardly rosey - but here i actually used to get one with everyone.
Rather than being my stress free zone, its turned into the freakin' gulf ... and i'm not the only one who feels like that niether.
was a much happier place, and you guys kept away because you thought it was boring and that we talked about nothing ... it might've been but it was still much more happier and pleasent to be!
first thing ALL of your bitched about when you came here was "no edit button", "no search feature", "no attachments", "no one posts much work if any", "there are too many noobie questions", "raven's here and he's a bad person"...
all ya'll did was freaking bitch, and quite frankly i didn't want it ... and most others didn't want it either. You say you didn't come here cause of my bad attitude and others like me, but quite frankly this place was NOTHING like this no more than 9months ago - you wanna blame the attitude on the place now, look at your fellow RGT members who decided to "liven" this place up.
the cultures of the forums are totally different, you guys don't want to change what you say and how you act ... and the added freedom musta gone far too much to your heads like cheap booze cause ya'll were just interollerable.
And everyone here wanted to give you guys a chance (i didn't, cause i knew this would all end up in sodding tears - but no one ever bloody listens to me!)
look where we are today, with a forum that quite frankly is turning into a mini-RGT ... i bet we're still gonna be told that there needs to be an adjustment period here for the users from RGT to get used to how this forum is - but really they don't sodding need to anymore do they!
you think i'm spouting BS about how this forum used to be?? then ASK someone who was here before all ya'll came in!
i'm about the only sodding member here who's actually willing to ever say anything about these things.
i don't really care if people will sit here and back me up on this post ... most who were here prior to christmas are generally not on anywhere close to what they were.
