Been there and done that. My remedy was to take a step back, accept people for who they are and then drank a bucket of concrete. The people here are great, we have a wicked time at every meet up. More met up's I say for some forum loving.

Gee so you ring other people RLI but you won't ring me you tight arse! I was gonna be nice and not touch your patrol but now I'm gonna come past and pinch all of it for mine :) As for these other shenanigans, I have no comment to make as I haven't see any of it, I have a life outside of this forum you know!!!! Maybe some others should look at it like I do?
Shame on you for having other interests other than here.
Its just the nature of web forums in general unfortunately, not everyone is going to be on the same wavelength and given that intonation and meaning can sometimes be easily mistaken in our text heavy medium, people will sometimes get the wrong end of the stick about what someone is trying to say. I find the best thing in that situation is to take it offline with a pm and find out what someone is actually on about. If they are still acting like a bell-end after that just write em off and ignore them. it's the interwebs at the end of the day, it's not life and death..
As said previously by others. There have already been several good members leave and some still here and not post. As Steve said (04OFF) there were members that were frequent posters and now are not. I am one of those. I can tell you all that the reasoning to some of us not posting the way we used to is due to the lack of response for the help/feedback given and a few other reasons that I will not go into (use your imagination for those that have been here for a few years now). Some people have no respect for the knowledge a lot of us have. I for one have knowledge that I am no longer willing to share as I get no nothing. Not a GFYS or no sorry mate you got it wrong or thanks mate for the info. F@#$ it (sorry)
But I will still be here to say gidday to those new members and maybe the very occasional post elsewhere (like this one).
Sorry if this displeases some but that was my polite response as this is a family friendly forum apparently. Or at least it used to be family orientated.
Like Irish said, if youse have a problem with someone on the forum, PM them and discuss it without publicly ridiculing them. Then if it gets ugly, ignore them or pass it all to Uncle Andy for his input.
I have taken several breaks from the forum due to ill mannered posts or just over seeing the same shite day in day out also a rather large incident rubbed me up the wrong way all this led to me not renewing my membership which I had for 2 years. This place use to be epic I loved it I was on here daily mobile and PC. Everyone was friendly there was meets all the time if someone asked a question it was answered. Lately (6 months it so) I see a lot of threads with smart arse answers or really generic things or people not reading through the whole post then leaving remarks that are already been addressed.
It's not a thread count or post count competition be constructive don't post for the sake of it.
The forum in qld has died we use to be active now not so much not sure what went wrong but it did.
I shall still lerk and take what I want from here and contribute when I genuinely can help I'm not here to win the post count
Fark, i was not going to disclose that you are one of the ones threatening to leave. lolQuote:

There are folk on here who try to help or assist with questions, there are knowledgeable folk on here who know the answers but choose not to help and then arc up about threads not being answered correctly. As in certain aspects in life, you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't.
Most folk may think I'm a complete prick but hey I'm fine with that, it is only a forum after all (sorry AB).
Some folk just need to get over themselves and stop being a bunch of prissy menstruating teenage girls.
As always I have nothing productive to add, I am but a humble post whore.
Peace out
Can we close this thread now. I have used sand and vagina in the same sentence.......my work here is done.
