have just read slimsids farewell note, after two years of bringing us entertainment he gets 15 posts, wheres the unity,the " dont go slim" posts,?the kid has poured out his heart on here,hes entertained you all when posts were slow, and thats all he gets ?

i think its strange that hes packing up on here because of **** taking on the other forum,but thats sid,hes an enigma, but we all know how shy he is, he needed his confidence building up,but all he got was kiss my arse and good bye.

some mates you lot turned out to be, see,im not sid,i have confidence in my self, ill go one on one with any one,so you dont have to pay me any attention at all,ill look after myself,its the slimsids that need your help, two years hes been on here and he left ,no better off than when he arrived, he never made a post that could cause offence,he never swore, he was what every forum owner would wish for,a bloke who joins in and causes no offence,keeps it clean, how come it ended up like it did ?:huh:

The rreason is probably due to my closing the thread.

Why?

Because I had no intention of the same sort of teasing and baiting taking place on the thread as has happened to SlimSid recently. Some people just can't let go on issues around SLimSid - I'm hoping that they'll just let him get on with his online life in peace.

Joe

I think too many people have done the big goodbye only to pop up again days or weeks later for it to be a major event. See another recent post for the fact that this is Sid's second exit in as many years. If he has gone for good, then it's certain he will be missed, by me as much as anyone but, ya know, it's only a forum.

aww the poor lad must be having an off day he is always ok with me and i wish him al the best :thumbsup:

im not sure as to the point of this thread tbh :confused:

oh i see

i shall go find it and have a read through it

He got ridiculed from elsewhere, not here. And only Holster and I really stood up for this guy on the thread, I think. I apologise to others if I'm wrong.

The two Forums will not survive side by side unless a reasonable accomodation is reached, somehow, between chalk and cheese. One will disappear, destroyed by it's own members. The other will survive.

I think if it comes to push or shove, this one will survive.

I am getting on in age, know what's what about things, and whoever wishes to do so reading this from the d.a.r.k.si.d.e wishes to post this answer on there, as they frequently do, they are welcome to do so. But when it ends up posting explicitly pornographic photos on its site.......it has reached the pits, either in the members it allows to post, or the ethos of the site, adult or not.

I am a member on the d.a.r.k.s.i.d.e. and enjoy the adult banter and humour on there. If I want to see pornography on my computer, I will go to an appropriate site on my computer. I do not expect it from a Forum I visit!


slimsid2000.........I hope you continue to entertain us on Sheffield Forum.

slimsid2000.........I hope you continue to entertain us on Sheffield Forum.shoeshine,with respect,your first two lines were on topic,the rest appear to be slating the other forum,a thread that would require its own posting i would have thought

I did my best, Depoix :(

I'm still hoping Sid'll change his mind and just stop looking at the Other Forum, not this one.

I do think, though, that if Joe hadn't closed the thread, Sid would have received a lot more messages of support. He is a valued contributor here on SF, and I'm sure that would have been reflected.

Sid - I wish you all the best, and I hope you know you're always more than welcome here on SF.

Take it how you like..........

Take it how you like..........and whats that supposed to mean ?

My opinion, is that leaving threads are just there for attention seeking, and this goes for Slimsids thread too.

If you are going to leave then leave, I dont see the point in making a fuss about it and creating a thread. Surely if you create a thread, then you are going to read that thread to see what has been said, which sort of defeats the whole object of actually going :huh:

and whats that supposed to mean ?

My post was specific.

People who want unsolicited pornography to suddenly turn up on their computer when grandchildren are about......sign up, browse, enjoy........

It's not for me, or mine. And I don't think the Site Owner there wants that either, frankly. It is an adult site, true. But one or two people are wrecking it by putting this rubbish on and virtually controlling the site.

Now, what more do you wish me to say?

I will get another ban from there for speaking my adult mind, as I did last time? How weird can it get.....a ban for saying something on one Forum regarding the best interests of another Forum.

I would wish to promote both Forums. Each is different in style and content.

Witchy knows I have the best interests of both Forums at heart. They can both be successful, but not the way things operate at present.

Spyro: I know that your opinion of this forum, is 'just the net'. You wrote this somewhere before. Fair enough if you think this. Others may not think this way. That's all.

Cos some people do view this internet forum as an extension of a communication tool with their friends. Indeed, some people know each other in real life, as they do virtually. (I say this from hindsight of another forum, which I see repeats itself on this forum.) That's what makes the difference. I know that such leaving threads are redundants in your eyes. Yet, to others, it may be courtesy. I think a few people extended the invitation to go out and things with him, but he's just not taken the chance.

It's like an office leaving do. Even though you've worked there, people have invested emotions in you, they do curiously wanna know whether you're okay. I think a lot of people gave Slim advice, and harped on about him to listen to it, or at least acknowledge it. So, I don't see such threads as particularly attention seeking. For once, it's acknowledging others on what they have said.

[Added] I think the difference between Royjames, and Slim is that. Roy has an agenda. A political one. His debating styles, and his intention is known. He knows what is the score. Whereas Slim doesn't. He's only after info on dating. (Maybe such info shouldn't always necessarily be broadcasted on a public site, than just talking between mates with.) I bet he wasn't expecting half the backlash that he gets here though !

.you knew full well it was an adult site,so why the complaints about your grand children bieng present,? ill agree it was unexpected but the owner cant do anything unless you voice your concerns on that forum and not this one

Bago: I fully see where you are coming from, and agree to a certain extent. However, are you saying that everyone that ever leaves the forum should post a leaving thread just incase people wonder where they have gone?

I understand that some people take things that have been said on here to heart, thats fair enough. Im not one of them.

Spryo: No. I'm not telling people what they should or should not do. If people want to do things for whatever reasons, I'm sure they will do it. Who am I to stop them ?

I mean, to me, I see the Slim situation differently. Cos a few girls (Jbee or Diamond) were kinda baiting him a bit, or maybe they find him funny, in an odd way and started threads which kinda was a tad too public. So he addressed that, along with whatever advice was given in the past about him acknowledging people. I 'get' the post that he wrote. Maybe it's continuity of conversation.

I don't admit knowing everyone on the board, but the fair few who I do know, and that I interact with, I probably would do the same thing too. Just write one single thread to address everyone. That's it. There are many 'goodbye' threads out there. People come, and people go... I don't reply to the ones that I don't know, or feel that they ought to 'get a real life', and add extra negative comments as they go. What is the point of it ?

Anyway, as to the extra little bit of forum politics between the SF and the other one. I'm staying out of it all. I don't know what has gone on, and neither do I care. My posts to Slim addresses the threads that he's made in the past. I wish him well. I am not going to get into politics which I have no desire to be involved in.

It is indeed adult, depoix. So am I. The site members can post whatever they want, subject to the site owner's approval. And so it should. It is not up to me to determine someone elses mores or site rules.

Now if you need to look at the site and contribute to it from within your garden shed in solitude, that is your choice. I don't, thank you.

I think you have children, probably of adult age. I don't know. But whatever age they may be, is it a really good way to cement parenthood/grandparenthood by introducing pornographic material to them at the push of a button?

My "children". are now aged 40, 37 and 35. They all have computers, connected to the internet. What they look at is their own affair, but I don't want them to do access pornography in front of me, thank you very much.

Now I am not a prude, believe it or not, but I am conscious of a wider desire to keep trash off my computer...you are welcome to put whatever you wish on yours..I will not complain. I have no right so to do.

So......

Ahhh....here we go again.

And yet again we get to discuss the unmoderted Forum.

And again,I'm closing the thread. The reason? The Moderating team haven't got the time or inclination to deal with the arguments that always seem to happen on these threads.

Now - if folks want to experience the other Forum, that's great, go ahead and do so. But we don't have to put up with debating the pros and cons of the relative other Forum here.

Let's move on, allow Slimsid space to work in, welcome him on his return, and let the guy get on with his online life here.

Closing.
