This is the first time I have ever posted here. I have to agree with you, Andrew, and this is exactly what I do. Many years ago, I discovered an amazing ability within my computer. I found that if I saw something I didn't like, or agree with, I could simply 'click', and go back, never to see that image/post again!

I've been surfing the net since 1994, originally with WebTV, and have followed this forum since day 1. I don't really have any way to contribute images, so I lurk. Indeed, I am guilty of not posting positive thoughts to producers such as Leonmoomin, Stormy, or many, many others through the years. To all of you, I apologize. Please let me state here that I always have, and will continue to appreciate your work and generosity.

To all of you who live to flame others, get a grip. We can be sure that you're the same type who complains about TV content, even though the channel button is under your thumb. If you don't like something, DON'T complain! Either do something else, or 'change the channel'!

Now I'll go back to looking quietly. Thanks for your time.

Forum Rule 4.2 - Some thoughts

I've been on this forum since 1998 (back then it was on Bravenet, then Nigel made a new one for us) and I must say I don't like the way the Internet is going based on this forum. The number of contributores has increased, but not much. Many of the old ones where offended to many times and left. I always was a looker, contributed only a few times, with just a few of my own sets and some finds. But I NEVER posted negative comments and I can't understand why people here are so mean. Even the best photos get less then 10 (and usually only 2-3) positive comments. But negative comments, against rule 4.2 can be found on every page of the archive in large numbers, though Nigel despite his jobs tries to delete them. I mean people, hit yourselfs in those dumb heads before flaming someone! People like different things and diversity is important and keeps this forum going. So the next time when one of you wants to post some of the following... turn of your PC instead and go to a fountain, make some photos, put them up on Webshots, post the link instead. It can easily be done everywhere in the world, with the possible exception of Saudi Arabia, so it's really hard to find an excuse not to ;-P

PLEASE stop posting the following - goes especially to Anonymouses or half-Anonymouses:

-> "bad quality" posts

-> "boring" posts

-> "not my kind of clothes" posts

-> "fat girl / whale" posts

-> "i think they are underage" posts - because in 90% of the accusations they are not

-> "this is porn" posts - because in 90% of the accusations it is not

-> whining about sponsors posts

etc.

This forum has more then 2000 users and only some 50 contributors among them. And many more flammers. Get a grip people. The net IS NOT THE place to let your frustration run with you. If you don't like a post, just DON'T POST ANYTHING.

I know I can't bring back the atmosphere of the end-of-the-90s mostly free and happy-go-lucky Internet, but still, if this post stops one troll from posting a negative comment I still think it's worth it.

Andrew.
