I might join!

Sounds like fun.  I'm often up for a bit of keyboard warfare and trolling!

The original Buffy posting board called The Bronze was really heavy at times and some of the Footy fora I post on make C4 look like a vicars tea party.
I never really had much trouble on C4 - not with other fms anyway it was always the mods - but I have found that when someone takes a dislike to me then they can never let it go no matter how studiously I ignore it.

Sadly, it's possible to find insensitive people on any forum, and even sadder people whose humourless, tiny mind tells them it is fun to offend and upset.
I received some pretty rough treatment on C4 forum (under a different name) by a handful of very unpleasant posters, to thew extent that I withdrew from that forum and returned at a later date with a new name.

I've lived a sheltered life so the worst I've been on was C4 news n politics. Particularly the one's who thought that they were reincarnated menbers of that 'itler one's Liebstandarte.

Sometimes I miss C4 forum... there was always fun to be had  However as Veggieburger says,  the mods were your greatest fear in the latter days.


Up for trouble? Check the After Hours thread in a popular Irish website... its mad... it seems its necessary to be a barsteward just to post.  

Brisket... I returned with a new name too. Surely that was the charm of C4 forums.... it was like going into a rough bar... you could have a polite normal conversation... or an ould scrap, the option was always there

Digital Spy's not bad. Spykas had a Sunday fight night with the coffee drinking smilie out in all its glory. Bitchfest was good Old Blue was a hoot!

the only forum i was ever really on was C4 I thought it was quite jolly
I did try the msn chat rooms when i first got on the net but I just remember it was full of people going" ASL ASL" then aggressively trying to cyber bonk you so i made a hasty retreat from there

Aye, Karma, I've been on a few hilarious threads on DS  ...problem is, I don't know where to find the fun again... especially after the demise of BB... i wonder,  where do the funny posters on DS congregate now?

Ooo-er Gypsie, that sounds really horrible and cliquey   Glad I gave it a miss!

I play a really stupid online game. The game is rubbish and very few play now but I still log in just to keep my account active. But the forums were evil and at first I thought it was mainly kids until I got to know the players and realised the worst offenders were adults.

I'm on a few music forums and one of them is so bad I'm almost afraid to post - if you accidentally duplicate a thread you get a reprimand from the mods.  If you prefer one band member over another it becomes a biatchfest 

I used to be on the official forum for my favourite band and we self moderated until a troll started causing all sorts of trouble.  The powers that be there decided that proper moderators were needed from amongst the ranks but the two chosen were two of the worst trouble makers on the board and they made life miserable for everybody as the power went to their heads.  I made a comment on another private forum (independent of the official forum) about how bad the situation was which was copied and sent the management of the official forum and now I'm banned 

Having said that, they lost so many members they've recently revamped the forum to encourage a few more members in 

this one..well it is when i turn up
but
the pirate bay-not a forum but the postings if someone doesnt approve of the quality of a film-they say some mighty effing awful stuff..

I post on a forum for the admirers of Leonard Cohen's music, and we're all too depressed to argue with each other

I wouldn't say so

It wasn't neopets was it?

ooooh karma-first time (this week) anyone has stuck up for me x lol

I loved that forum .... I spent hours .... and sometimes full days at a time there

Me too! I had some right laughs reading and posting on there although i must admit not so much towards the end

netmums....

I am not a member, I've only been there when a google search has brought up a link for there...  or when Hoob has posted a link to a particularly "interesting"  debate going on on there.

5 mins on there and I want to scream!

It's not full of perfect Susie Homemakers is it?

I was    and I'm no prude.

I don't think I've ever been on a really rough forum...not what I'd consider rough anyway.

The closest was Old Blue which wasn't really rough just quite stupid with certain people having laternate ID's all over the shop (though later denying it)

I googled........

I belonged to a nurse's forum once.

That was a bizarre experience

I got banned

What did they ban you for?

Being rude about the hysteria around Jade Goody's death

Issy I sympathise.... I belonged to a medical, well... patients' forum once. Hissy fits all over the place

There were times you could have thrown sawdust on the floor of the Ch4 forums they were that rough  Same could be said for here a while ago. 

Crazy people

heh heh Cagney  it was that rough, aye.
It was so rough, the other BB forums used to talk about us in horror... like we were the wild west or something.  It wasn't that bad... Well * coff* maybe during BB7 - that was a tough place, you went into it in armour just about

2005 -summer 2006 were the times that stick out the most in my memory. The best days

C4 during BB7 is my favourite time ever on a forum - I loved it. Even with all the mentalism and trolls.

I went on the BBC messageboards once - never again.

No way Miss S...is it rough on the BBC messageboards? you'd think they'd be PC

Well rosey first of all you have to wait an age before they moderate your post and I wanted to rant about a particular programme while it was on


When I did finally manage to post my opinion was blasted by regulars - I often read the messageboards so recognised their user names - so, yes I felt a bit ganged up on
