Personally, I like the simple, unrestricted, anarchic nature of this forum, which it has always had from it's earliest beginnings in it's pre-Nigel manifestations,15 or 20 years ago and which Nigel, God Bless him, appears stubbornly intent to preserve.
As with the old Newsgroups, anyone can post whatever they like, and all sides of human and troll life can make their mark. Of course some rules have had to be made down the way. But for all it's problems and shortcomings it is still the largest, most widely read and most broadly 'open-to-everyone-with-a-wetlook-interest' wetlook forum that, somewhat unusually nowadays, still manages to some degree to retain the spirit of the early days of the internet.
No doubt we all remember when we first discovered we were not alone in this world.
THANK YOU, NIGEL!!! |

By MK - wamtec@comcast.net Wed 04/08/10 08:06:08 GMT As I said below.....if you want a forum that has no commercial postings at all....you will end up with a very lonely place with few people....i,.e. no MK, no Leon, no EuroWAM TEAM, no Tyra and Wetlook Online...and the list goes on and on.
All you will have remaining on this forum....will be the youtube scavengers and a few picture links each day.
And you will not have a forum left...cos the person running this forum is a commercial entity too....and it costs at least $500 + in server and bandwidth costs to operate a forum like this, and so you will all need to register and make $10 - $25 paypal contributions in order to gain access to such a forum....but there will be nothing much to see, except for the youtube scavengers and their postings....cos the major posters on this forum all have commercial ties...and they will all leve and create their own forums instead.
So....be careful what you wish for....cos you may not like what happens.....i.e. if I leave....you will have to follow me on Twitter instead.
Personally....what I would like to see....which addresses the problem that was raised.....cos I can empathize that some folks want to see the commercial postings isolated in a different area.....and the solution to that would be....for Nigel to create 2 catgeories for the forum....as you create different categories on most forum softwares these days (e.g. the phpbb3 forum that Graham uses).....cos I personally would prefer to see a forum where we have 2 categories....one category for commercially oriented postings....and a different category for non commercial postings....cos I am somebody who posts MORE non commercial postings than I post commercial postings....i.e. for every 1 commercial posting I make...I post at least 3 times more non-commercial postings about tv and wetlook in general. So...I would like to see 2 categories (sub forums)....so that the forum still gets it's needed financial support from commercial sponsors (the banners still remain)...but the non commercial postings go to a separate category (sub forum)...so those folks who do not want to see commercials, can avoid them...and go to the non commercial section only. This is how all modern forum softwares are handled these days...and this is what this forum needs too....2 categories or sub forums.

By M.G. - marco.grant@gmx.net Tue 03/08/10 15:43:47 GMT TOO MUCH COMMERCIAL POSTINGS ---------------------------------------------------------- Hey .... so, i know this forum since some years, but one thing simply i must say ... At first thanks to all, who care about really good contributions with pictures and videos. What seems to me really CRUEL is the fact, that the COMMERZ grows up here continiously. This pay sites are a) the less handsome possible for me (I never wold pay a cent) and they extremly increase within the postings here. Members like Rumpel became rar... that's really sad, because this postings are awesome...what do you think?
{I did not say, that's my opinion, just a translation - better to say a little english lesson for me}
