Why have a forum? 22-May-2012 At 9:40:52 AM mothrfckr

So I have been readin this site for some time. I lurk a few others as well, qurank.com
is a good other example. Chalk and cheese, honestly. The bollocks you read here vs
qurank.com just makes that one look way better.

I got more learning in 3 minutes reading one of the articles here than I learned in
all the time ive been looking at the forum. Imagine you were an area manager reading this, youd think all climbers are a bunch of immature twats and couldnt be trusted to do anything right. "what, bolt on my land? can you even drive yet?"

Why have a forum at all? You could lock it down and no one would miss anything but a
few trip reports. Rest is just a bunch of people having a jolly old time slagging absolutely everything and everyone, not to mention giving new climbers a friggin hard time.

My time coaching soccer showed me you get one started (prick of a kid who always used to mouth off and his parents always made excuses for him) then everyone has a go. Ooh, lookie here he can swear and he dont get a backhander, i might give it a shot! Best forums are those run like a house. Like, if you want to be a prick in my house you can just get out. i sure am not perfect, but like i said one person does it, then monkey see monkey do. Toss me in the trash with the other twats.

Crystal ball sez there'll be some hand-wringing responses, a few self-justifying
ones, a few 'but what can we doooo??' posts, perhaps a pointless poll and maybe even a few replies suggesting that it would all be fine if we just sing songs, hold hands
and think really hard at the people who are being berks to be nicer. Bollocks. dont
get me wrong, nothing sucks more than having to manage behaviour when your a volunteer, but this place sucks.

By the way, why cant people delete themslves on this forum? Might help. Actually, why cant people delete other people on this forum? thatd really help.
