Builder is Leaving

[ChipWoodChainSaw]

wtf is the point of posting this? status update would have been fine?

 

But anyway thanks for the news articles. 

[Me1z]

Well this site is going down hill rapidly are we going to have any good members left or just a bunch of kids and competition leeches? Good luck in the future builder

 

Shhhh! Who told you that? There is totally no problem here, the forum is definitely NOT growing like a cancer while losing contributing members at an equally alarming rate. What would give you that idea?

Have you seen the level of shitposting here? It's gone through the roof since the giveaway ended. Now it's REALLY started to go downhill. I might leave because so.

I really do think that LMG either has to stop doing giveaways or find a different way of entry. Using the forum as an entry tool is not doing it any favors.

But we probably won't know about the giveaways. TBH, after the forum, I stopped watching his vids, so I rely on the forum to check on news.

With a million+ subs our odds of winning a giveaway are pretty nil, so I would rather remove the stress put on the forum.

 

I hear you on the watching vids. I still watch most, but not all anymore. I do way more reading here than watching the videos.

But a guy who was here on the forum for like only 6 or so months won the laptop. he had like 2k or so posts. that wasn't bad.

 

Yeah, TBH, they are a bit boring now. if they do another watercooling build log, sweet.

[Guest]

He'll be back.

You finally ran him off

 

[snoopy6489]

Awwwwww why you leave?

 

You're the only one who really likes apple, and it makes things more interesting!

I like apple a lot.

Am I anywhere on the good side of the list?

That one they only wanted to give to someone who was active and helpful on the forum. But that was the only giveaway done that way. 

 

I would be for unannounced forum giveaways. Next time LMG want to do a giveaway, pick a random (preferably active and helpful) member, then make a video about what they are giving away and why they wanted to give to active members.

 

Even when they announce a fairly small open giveaway that uses the forum for entry, it floods the forum with new accounts and a bunch of post whoring by people trying to look helpful.

 

Just my $0.02 though.

Not just post whoring, but forum crashes, shitposting, the lot.

[Real_PhillBert]

Not just post whoring, but forum crashes, shitposting, the lot.

100% agree.

[Trik'Stari]

You finally ran him off

-snip

I did not run anyone off. He chose to leave of his own volition.

Cuz you keep fighting with him.

[Trik'Stari]

Cuz you keep fighting with him.

So, when I make a thread about something I'm genuinely interested in, and so are others. And he comes in and calls me a nutjob right off the bat, or otherwise insults me, it's my fault entirely. I have done the same to him in the past, however I've both apologized for doing so, and asked that he not do the same to me, and I received no such courtesy.

 

Still, entirely my fault right, I should just take the abuse and not be allowed to talk about things that I and others are interested in, right?

Well, in just about every single one of such threads, I see you as the sole instigator of the argument. He brings some technical information on the table, you then cherry-pick his statement so you can find some way to belittle him. It goes both ways; if you see someone doing something wrong, it does not magically justify doing the same thing back.

1) I have not seen any such apology, so please bring citations

2) You are still being irrationally hostile to this day

That is a very general statement, and not applicable to the actual issue.

[Unknown_Guy]

Well, I am not surprised. His evangelistic fanboying is just too offensive. I got the feeling that his opinion is the correct one and this is not how you should interact with others.

 

Anyway, he was posting some good stuff too so mixed feelings here.

Hard to bring citations when every thread has been deleted by now. In my most recent ebola thread his very first post was an immediate insult to me, and an allusion to my masturbation habits. Of course I can't cite it because again, it's been deleted, as has almost every thread involving me and him arguing so it's a moot point. I don't care, blame me if you want, I can't change how other people see things, or apparently voice my own opinions on things.

[joenewbie]

Not going to start another argument. Every time I try to talk or start a thread about something I enjoy, he'd flame me, what else can I say but what I feel/experience.

 

I never asked him to leave, I don't specifically want him to, I'd just like to be able to state my own opinions without him and others jumping all over me for saying what I think. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way.

Can I just say, firstly, I have no idea what you think about anything, I really don't as I haven't gone to look up any posts you've ever made, this is the first I've viewed.  Second, any opinion that can't defend itself from mockery, deserves to be mocked, just because you think it, doesn't make it valid or give the idea any validity at all.  Third, it's incumbent upon you to either defend your position, or if you can't, don't state it in the first place, don't blame others for attacking your position on something when it was you who stated the position publicly in the first place.  Can't take the heat?  Don't state your position.

Wow, that's just about the most asinine thing I've ever read. Any position that can't defend itself from mockery deserves to be mocked, why? Just because someone thinks differently or sees things differently they deserved to be mocked right off the bat for no reason? Just for being different?

 

If I had said that, 90% of the people in this thread would be calling me an asshole. And people wonder why people keep leaving the forum. Also you do realize that any opinion can be mocked into submission, that's why mockery is generally considered both rude and invalid, because its meaningless, asinine, dribble.

Most of the threads you start or comment in, revolve around your twisted sense of reality, and way you think things should work. 

[Snickerzz]

Post gay furry pics, that gets you 5 warning points XDDD

[Trik'Stari]

Again do you not see your own prejudice? Just because you disagree with how I see the world, it's a twisted sense of reality.

 

 

don't mean to be the devil's advocate here, but you can't really speak in behalf of the case unless you've actually been in an argument with builder

he's an intelligent guy and has valid points, but he's so abrasive its scary to think people can discuss in that manner

idk why trik stari is being victimized here (not saying builder hasn't been a victim either) but its crazy to think this is completely his fault

as for you leaving builder, stay socialist <3 I'll miss your threads and posts lol

This entire thread was started for that very reason.

My prejudice? Give me a couple minutes and i'll pull up some of the posts you've made, that really make no sense.
