I mean this post to be helpful, so hopefully you're not all going to call me a cunt for pointing stuff out. I don't think BETEO is doomed or anything, but its current problems won't go away until there's a clearly-defined vision. As a short-term fix, I would strongly suggest that sub-forums are your friend.

"World of Cuddles"

Bruce and Stu are a lot closer than either would admit aren't they?

I still read it every day and still find him interesting, I just don't admire him anywhere near as much as I used to.

We discussed this and decided that it wasn't the way to go. Where were you when these discussions took place?

I can't help thinking that having a forum and then putting together a website to base it on some months later is rather like building a house and then trying to dig foundations underneath it. We may well end up covered in fallen masonry. Or something.

Fuck knows. It probably dropped off the front page after six minutes following a deluge of Eastenders threads, which is the kind of thing that happens in busy forums that don't have sub-forums.

Alternatively, putting together a website without the community to write things for it is like moving into a house before you buy any furniture.

I don't like the enforcing of a purpose. I don't get together with my friends in a pub and say "Now when we're sitting at this table we talk about games, if you want to talk about trees go over there to the other side of the bar".



Virtually identical in fact, except Stu is smarter. Much smarter, that's damned quick thinking to replace his World of CUS jibe although he somehow still thinks CUS ordered people here, rather than just happening to be the guy who had a forum already there.

And hitting the reply button without having an appropriate analogy to hand is like.. oh, bugger.

I don't know. It's an interesting way of going about things I suppose. I just hope we don't rupture a gas main, that's all.

Down, Dudley! Down!
/smacks on slobbering, well-chained head.

My worry is: have we gone and fitted two inch sewer pipe under a building that has five inch toilets?

What cowboy do you get in 'ere, then?

'fried gold' being a simon pegg-originated phrase.

Or something Australians have been saying for years. You choose!

I'm kind of glad he banned Dudley, so Dudley can give us his full attention now

Again, if twenty seven new threads don't keep you happy, you really can't just not read this one.

Well that explains why I was mysteriously logged out when I clicked my link just now.

I HAVE NEVER MISBEHAVED

It's a thread about RAM Raider. It was turned into a thread about trolling because somebody posted a slightly off topic reply.

I think it'd be pretty good round here if we made it how I like it.
