Forum signatures

[bignumber5]

Dear Admin

I would like a fecking good moan because a detail of the way that you run your forum is inconvenient for me/obstructs the smooth progression of my personal agenda. For ease of interpretation I will be willing to break my complaint down into the areas of how come this doesn't exist?, how come such-and-such can but I can't?, and a final miscellaneous category entitled whyyyyy?. Please could you let me know where I can stick my thread?

[KalamityKel]

silly sarcasm like that is very unbecoming :-|

[bignumber5]

as are reckless smiley usage and jumping on any passing bandwagon. nobody's perfect

[KalamityKel]

I assume you have a point there somewhere? no?

*approaches nervously and tentatively*

I think the only mistake that Admin appear to have made here is to basically spoil the lot of us over the years! Most of us, in all probability, now take this Forum for granted - myself included.

When we attempt to log onto it, we expect it to be there, functioning without fault with all of its trimmings. If it slows down we complain, if a thread develops a malfunction we express further displeasure, and if a post disappears we throw the toys out of the pram (well I do!) and so on. Now that Admin have more or less decided to do away with signatures we communicate our dissatisfaction once more - most vociferously. It's only natural, we are merely human after all. However, we should in all fairness stop and remind ourselves that this Forum is not a right...we are not entitled to access it as of right, by law, or under some contractual arrangement. If, after years of permitting users of his forum to enjoy signatures, Admin in his wisdom now decides this should no longer be the case, then (it is my belief) that he is entitled to do so.

The decision may appear inconvenient and even unfair to some, but, at the end of the day we should all remember that Admin could shut this forum down if he felt so inclined. And, to be honest, I wouldn't blame him given the hard time he is currently experiencing - not only on this thread, but in the Lounge too. I too have had my spats with Admin over various issues (still do), but, in the interests of forum harmony, I prefer to keep them private.

I suspect this post might not find favour with some of you - so be it. However, I actually sympathise with Admin on this occasion as it is my view that he is being treated unfairly harshly.

Yeh we'd sort of picked that up :)):)):))

Edited to say: LadyMuck, please occasionally use that big key on the right of your keyboard, in fact the biggest key, with an arrow on it.

It takes your cursor down the page so that you can have the occasional space between your sentences, ie it divides your text into paragraphs so that it is readable :)

Edited again to say: You must have discovered this big key, because you do have a space at the top and bottom, just an indigestible mass of text in the middle! In my opinion, obviously.

Shouldn't ratty be paying for this self-promotion signature?
