it isnt a whining site. Its mainly intended to funnel members of the juve offside blog into a forum, as I explained to curr. Simple idea really. That site lacks a forum, i go on there a lot, and enjoy it .I am not trying to compete with anyone for anything, or to make money, so the juve offside blog folk are fine and dandy for me to regularly add links to the forum with my posts on their blog. yes, i have sais many times that the childish, cliquey bullshit atmosphere here is extremely annoying, but i keep coming back as there are so many forums to choose from to play with, some brilliant individuals, wicked transfer gurus and the chap who keeps me updated on the calciopoli trials...ummm...gsol.
I have not copied and pasted anything other than my own words...actually, thats a lie, i copied into my head first then typed with my own fingers, the years of birth Mark had in his transfers post. Truly I assumed he would not care in the slightest. Copying years of birth??? hohoohohohohoh...Other than which, again with Mark, I may well have copied three lines such as GdS - Tevez to X, Juve want Aguero, Napoli for Inler...but that is after checking the gazzetta website, and basically seeing that Mark is reporting the headlines. So its a bit like the year 'copying'. these are not cases of stealing words. If gazzeta says Juve want Aguero, thats a fact that they have said it. If Bonucci was born in 1986, its a fact. The only person on here whom I have asked permission to use their own words is gsol. Because I very much enjoy his reportage on the calciopoli bullshit. Thankfully like me, he is simply keen for the story to be spread wider and deeper around the juve ranks, so is, if anything, happy for me to use his words.
My aim for my forum is to have the decent between members of juve offside blog with the multitude of forums here, and avoid at all costs, threads like this one, and get rid of the kind of people who create threads like this. i am not bad mouthing this website behind anyone's back, i have no need to do so. and i care little for who goes onto lavecchiasignora, its a pretty simple rule:
be decent to other posters.
its the same approach I use when I help my mate out with his weedguru website. I come in as Chief WookieDick when there is trouble in the ranks..and yes, even stoners get vicious and nasty to each other, on a website. over there, its simple. play nice or fuck off. no cliquey bullshit allowed. no 'veterans' ganging up on new members purely to feel like..what?? virtual tough guys???
this thread itself is testament to my woes with this site.
Yes, my site needs a lot of work, the front end is awful, the forums themselves confusing with threads needing moving elsewhere, my aims for this period, the summer, are simply to get it up and running, and try encourage a few decent members. a wordy chap from the offside blog is eager to come in as a moderator and help me get some editorials together, and once my English mate has settled into Melbourne, and we have moved past this daily vodka bingeing, I will have more time to work on it.
Its pitiful, that not just those sycophantic fucks who abuse whoever they please then virtually cup each other's balls get away with what they do daily, but they have a mod or moderators who does what they tell them to.
