thread hijackers
 

Can people stop hijacking threads to have little chats with a mate.
If you want a personal conversation then PM them – don’t hijack a thread just to post stupid immature replies.
If you read some peoples posts they are silly little relpies that have nothing to do with the topic
If you have nothing to say then don’t post

Im not a moderator or anyone special im sure im not the only one that hates settling down to read a 8 page thread only to find that 6 pages of it is of utter rubbish posted by immature morons.
I wont name names – you know who you are.

Pisses me off as well. C'mon folks, tone it down please.

By the way, you're being off-topic by posting this in a Bon Jovi section.

I know this will sound unpopular, but one thing that has been driving me crazy is the clique threads that go on and on for pages when you're trying to read the setlist from the previous night's show.

Christ - Go to a chatroom.

It's actually not an unpopular opinion!

Don't mean to be picky but in the New Testament of the Bible it clearly states that going into chatrooms is a sin so I don't think it's the best place for Christ to go.

Isn't that where Christ met Mary Magdellan?

Gotta agree, it is getting annoying, almost as bad as born_to_run's pish.

Wish people would use MSN.

It wasn't a sin back then. It is now.

No they met at a book reading club. The book of the month was the Bible funnily enough.

You're not getting the message - take it to pm or to msn or aim for chat. Good manners are not completely outdated - especially on an international message board where English is not everyone's native language. Imagine the frustration of someone struggeling to read all those messages before it dawns on them that it is private chat :(. There is nothing wrong with sticking to a topic.

i agree - 1 thread was 76 pages and most of it was personal converations.

Prove it :cool:

Have to say I agree too, there are some threads that start off as interesting chat about the relevant topic but this then degenrates into another 5 pages of MSN chatter that puts me off reading the rest of the thread.

The number of active members on this forum seems to have dropped drastically during this MSN period and that period being during a tour shows how much it is affecting the forum.

I thought all the slowchatters had been very well behaved, not bringing it into the PBPs, mostly keeping it to the NBJ forums. And even participating in real Jovi discussions!

Was I wrong?!

Yeah I have to agree with this. Even though I am a culprit (yeah I've got my hands up for once ;)) we are moving it to the NBJ sections more than we used to.

So yeah we may ruin a couple of Bon Jovi threads but we're getting better.

Oli, I don't like being on people's bad sides :( I'm scared!

They're usually on ours :p But hey, I get fanmail on here, I know I'm liked :p You don't :D

I don't even bother looking for setlists here any more. I just go to bonjovi.com. Trying to find it here, takes scrolling through dozens of pages of useless crap to find it. It's annoying as hell.

Yeah, you were wrong lol.

I for one stopped visiting this board for a few weeks simply because I was getting pissed off at having to read through page after page of peoples personal conversations, usually these conversations were in the middle of a PBP where most people were only interested in the set, not other peoples chat.

It does seem to have calmed down a bit recently, probably because of this thread. But it is still constantly happening and it is driving people away.

Hey that thread had nothing to do with it :( Jade and I are rebels :cool:

Hey I just realised, my chatty partners begin with J! Jem, Jack, Jade...

Funny, I made a post before saying I'm always right. WAS I WRONG THEN TOO?!

I will admit mate, a lot of your posts do make me laugh, you're a witty guy, but it's all the shite that comes after you've made a comment that makes it decend into chaos (so to speak).

So you're blaming the person who always replies to his witty comments?

yeah and no lol.


people are bound to reply, fair enough, but it just keeps going on and on and on.

I was just using him as an example (sorry Oli lol)

Good, I can eliminate myself then.

It's cool.

So REALLY I'm the good guy and the people who reply to me are the badasses :cool:

That's what you think :cool:

No it's true :D I supply the thread with a comment, someone usually replies, it turns into a convo and then I join in the convo :D

No, alan said it's how it carries on, so it's your fault. Witty comment > reply > then your other witty comment. You're teh one who carries it on.

Well it's not my fault I have witty comments <_<

You make them, of course it's your fault <_<

I blame the thing that triggers my witty comments.

No wait scratch that. DON'T QUOTE ME POLI.

Hmm perhaps. But not always, sometimes I outsmart smart people!

That didn't make sense, even to my original post.

No wait, yes it did. I only saw one of the "smart"s :(

In which case, yes, you are right. I hope nobody figures out that I said "dumb people"!

LMAO! Me too, they might believe you when you call them dumb!

I'm more afraid that they'll say it's ironic coming from me or something :(

Well that would be mean of them, then I'd have to report them to the mods! I'm sure they'd do summit.

Yeah, they're very good at what the do :cool: Well, a couple of them are. One of them is well bad.
