haha, I can imagine the confusion when a user reads the topic and first page then skips to the last page. Like; "how the hell did this turn into a discussion about slavery and who's to blame for Africa being fked up???!".

On topic though; I need all elitists. Please don't leave, and keep flaming the noobs. It's the way of the INTERNET! I actually don't think all the flaming is that bad, it makes people think twice about posting trash and raises the general quality of threads. Other than that it's entertaining. I can read on and on in a thread that's just turned into a flamewar, as long as there are music-facts being argumented for, disputed and really tested. The problem I feel is when these kind of posts are about things that belong in COR and they are the only posts on the entire first page of MD. One or two is fun, more is to much.

There is room for improvement, and imo it's mostly the elitist-bashers or "noobs" here who should try harder. People who have been here for 4-5 years won't let their beloved forum turn shit without a fight. New users need to respect this and accept what this board is about. It's not all PLUR, and people will voice their opinion in harsh ways, necessary or not. In my opinion the elitists generally show good judgement on where to flame and where not to. And as anywhere else, there are some bad apples. The veteran users have learned to more or less appreciate these, the new users will learn the hard way

now I got to read for my exam. This was a nice waste of half an hour

**AHEM**.. fucked up?... BIGOT !




yeah, this thread is really fucked, no more talks about AFrica from me.

Even a thread like this which had a completely different purpose by the author, gets hijacked and made to ridicule. Its just sad. Its like cor has taken over the whole board and made TA into something of a playground for pre-teens. The only way I see this being fixed is if the mods and Swamper starts acting for a change back to what TA was about a couple of years ago, and what Floorfiller kind of rightly made an issue about in his first post of this thread.
Theres alot of knowledgeable people on this board which will and to some extent already have stopped posting just because the feedback is shit.
Imo thats also one of the problems, as the knowledge gets drained it wont attract any new.

Uhm, kinda lost my point but oh well, some of you might understand.

^very true... i actually took the time to read through most of the 9 pages of shit in this thread because i cared about the topic only to find 1/2 the posts were not even related to the topic... i think non-md topics are fine... in the COR. if you're posting in MD, it better be about that. mods need to take some more serious action.

sad to see what this place has come to over the past few years...

Portugal
Britain
France
Germany
USA

all colonised Africa.

I know that I dont have a lot of new info to contribute all the time, but at least I respect and am grateful to those that do.

u know,

n00bs have started similiar threads to this. Everyone treated them like shit...

but this thread, everyone is taking seriously, and trying to support, except for a select few ppl...

wat a bunch of freaking sheep. why should floorfiller be treated differently because he thinks he or is l337?

the only way to get the forum closer to the way it was in the past would be to shut off registrations for a few monthes.

the way it currently is, n00bs come and go... with more of them coming than going. every day there's a new flock of n00bs here with the same questions and often the same attitude, those that stick around often learn something, but the rest just leave to be replaced by even more. the so called veterans never see the fruits of their 'work'.

would be an interesting experiment to see the forum shut down registrations for a while, would definitely make for a whole new ballgame.

you're (general you) not in a position to judge a forum fairly based on 1 week of interactions, not to mention 1 day. does that answer your question?
