thats another thing...pros think they own the scene...ive seen people get pushed out of ques for getting air n stuff by the so called 'pros' if they represent they should do it well and not act like a$$holes
Best Vs Worst thing about this site
- Thread starter rancid
- Start date
Good,
A high standard of debate, without being too high brow. The "old guard" don't take it all too seriously.
Bad,
The cliquey posts. I don't care about off topic when everyone joins in, only when it excludes the majority.

Da good, da bad, and da ugly.
A "Mindless Blather" sub-forum might indeed be a good idea... even if it was Baca's
If you check the number of readers the jackings are frequently the most popular threads on the boards... even when it's just me and Baca arguing for days on end. I can only assume we have entertainment valueOriginally posted by Dannefaerd
Thought that I would throw in my 2c ...
The Bad
- The threads do tend to get off topic (like the "French" thread that turned into another Hotpoint history lesson

Don't get me wrong - I love it - but I do believe that we'll need a physicist to discover a new dimension to understand what tangent some threads take away from the original topic
The good...
Intelligent debate (until Rancid comes along to stir up the ****)
Rancid stiring up the ****.
The gossip
Wide mix of cool people. Met some great Euro ballers on here.
Somewhere to discuss European issues with people that are involved and also have an influence.
The PGI staff soap opera that gets played out here. Has me in absolute efin stitches.
The bad...
Moderators not knowing which buttons to press. (Piper!)
Everyone picking on me in this thread, especially since I've been trying to be peaceful lately. Sheesh If I had mod powers I'd just lock this thread and go play somewhere else (joke!)
Sometimes being concerned about getting jumped on if you opinions don't run with the clique in that particular thread.

Hey Philip I do too poke my head in and read the titles... But since I am not a RECballer and never have been I really can't Moderate something I don't know a whole lot about right. Besides stop trying to land yourself a MOD spot. Man that BAN button looks even better this evening!
I like the site in total...
Worst is people like Philip.
Good things about this site : I made some friends and get to hear some cool people's views, it makes me laugh sometimes, intelligent debate sometimes, and we (PGI) get to hear a lot of views we would otherwise not have access to which helps us.
Hadn't realised how insightful Liz was
Bad things about this site : I too often, allow my blood pressure to rise, need to breathe deep, think of green fields, cows grazing and try not to react to posts that have me pulling my hair out...D'uh, where’s it all gone
Big Sigs
Having Rancid and Duffitusta able to see every time I post and then I wait for the phone to ring
Getting into threads with people who are one of the following, bigots, deaf, wannabee-intellectuals, newbie know it-alls and combinations thereof (Damn, I just defined Chris Raehl in one sentence)
Inane chat (but I think I am guilty of that one on occasion, sorry)
Can't think of much else !

Rec isn't as bad as Newbies, that needs looking into...they just see your name and decide not to post crap
And im not trying to get myself a mod spot, im merely stating the facts Now RoO, move your mouse away from the ban button....
The good
Quite a UK-specific theme to news, info and posts. Makes a very welcome change from everything being US focused.
Decent advice from the majority of posters.
The bad
Not enough use made of stickys - you could probably halve the number of posts in the techroom with one sticky containing facts about DOT/HSE bottles & retest intervals which was kept relevant and up to date.
Can be a teensie bit cliquey at times.
Some posters who seem to regard non-tourny players as being inferior in some way.
Mods don't seem to be particuarly active.

I take exception to that statement, it's downright outrageous and just plain untrue............I regard non-tourney players as being inferior in EVERY way !!
