And he had to lock the first thread in there! : facepalm:

Scobie seems to be trying hard, but he is losing the plot. My retarded ferret could have told him what a stupid idea his Sound Off forum was.



So now is probably a good time to thank all of our fellow CEO members for being pretty self-moderating most of the time.

I'm also glad that you guys have enough faith in our Mod Team that we don't have to spend half our time defending our decisions. Seriously, it's a pleasure to run this forum, and thank fuck we don't have to deal with the asinine shit that they're going through over there at the moment. We're still less than a year old and we've established ourselves pretty good in that time!

I'm surprised that so many old-timers are hanging in there. For Christ's sake, they censor images and language so that they don't lose their Google AdSense. At least Scobie has been honest about only buying the K440 domain to make money. Can't say he didn't warn people.

It seems that everyone agrees over there that they used to read almost all the threads, but now they just can't be bothered as they have to wade through so much crap before they come across anything worth reading.

Try as they may, the place still reeks of an ol' boy's circle jerk club.
