Pages: 1 2  Next -- Posted by davjs at 6:57 pm on Jan. 17, 2008 I'm a proud member of the LiveWire Members of Yore and my number of days active has earned me the right to post here. However, I am concerned and a little sad to hear that some individuals are using their Yore status to put down, reject, and ignore newer members whose ideas and opinions should be listened to and respected. I've said what I came here to say. -- Posted by The Dalai Lama at 6:57 pm on Jan. 17, 2008 I think that's only PoP. -- Posted by BrokenBelief at 7:08 pm on Jan. 17, 2008 Quote: from The Dalai Lama at 6:57 pm on Jan. 17, 2008 I think that's only PoP. QFT.  If you make a stupid comment, it gets bashed, no matter how long you've been here.   Really though, I can't think of a single instance of real elitism, unless it was toward one with a previously established reputation of stupidity. -- Posted by hithere at 7:20 pm on Jan. 17, 2008 it is a sad concept, but it's not really related to the yore status. that kind of thing existed with days active (and whatever else) before we had "yore." -- Posted by the real anti christ at 10:06 am on Jan. 18, 2008 I like to believe we here in Yore are equal opportunity bashers. I for one bash all idiots equally. -- Posted by myystic at 12:28 am on Jan. 21, 2008 Well, to be honest, if you want to give us something to brag about, can you really blame us if we do as you seemingly intended? -- Posted by Brookie Chookie23 at 1:54 am on Jan. 22, 2008 Quote: from myystic at 5:58 pm on Jan. 21, 2008 Well, to be honest, if you want to give us something to brag about, can you really blame us if we do as you seemingly intended? Mmmhmmm. The yore forum itself serves to discriminate against newer members. -- Posted by newblader at 2:17 am on Jan. 22, 2008 It's not only MOY that do this though, people who have 200 days active are still doing this to noobs. -- Posted by the real anti christ at 3:17 pm on Jan. 22, 2008 Quote: from newblader at 4:17 am on Jan. 22, 2008 It's not only MOY that do this though, people who have 200 days active are still doing this to noobs. Noobs bashing noobs... LOL -- Posted by iamironman at 11:21 am on Jan. 24, 2008 This was happening anyway. Now it's just concentrated to one area. -- Posted by OLPFan200 at 9:31 am on Jan. 26, 2008 I tried opening up a friend once. Despite being messy, the hack saw was more-or-less effective. -- Posted by barnabas at 4:41 pm on Jan. 27, 2008 Its all good clean fun. we have yore status to make it something to attain. if we dont let people know it makes you cool, then what is the point, no one will want to attain it. the n00b system is a part of livewire. it just has a safe outlet now. -- Posted by Prince o palities at 4:42 pm on Jan. 27, 2008 Quote: from the real anti christ at 12:06 pm on Jan. 18, 2008 I like to believe we here in Yore are equal opportunity bashers. I for one bash all idiots equally. Exactly.  Just remember before Thuggen was banned. I appreciate everyone heaping blame on me.  Three cheers for solidarity guys. -- Posted by TheOtherHorseman at 5:26 pm on Jan. 27, 2008 I would like to go out of my way to say that this is entirely PoP's fault and maybe trac's as well, because they are not me. -- Posted by 4est at 10:26 pm on Jan. 27, 2008 Quote: from the real anti christ at 3:17 pm on Jan. 22, 2008 Quote: from newblader at 4:17 am on Jan. 22, 2008 It's not only MOY that do this though, people who have 200 days active are still doing this to noobs. Noobs bashing noobs... LOL Prevent n00b on n00b bashing. -- Posted by Forever Angel at 5:15 am on Jan. 28, 2008 Does this mean we won't be getting "Yore" badges anytime soon? -- Posted by Prince o palities at 6:48 am on Jan. 28, 2008 In a more serious vein (since this is all my fault after all ) I think you may be either misinterpreting or overreacting to what is going on here.  There is nothing which occurs in this forum that does not both occur outside the forum and predate this forum.  The theme in here that you are picking up is not a general disdain for all members not yet of our lofty rank, but an expressed contempt for the foolishness that ignorance breeds.  Take for example such heart felt features as Can I get pregnant if...? (Click).  I should hope that this isn't designed to "put down, reject, and ignore" members who are wondering if they are pregnant.  (If it is, it ought to be deleted.)  It is rather an attempt to satirically shed light on the state of sex education in our world. This forum and how we behave here has served your expressed purpose of being an incentive for younger members, giving them something to strive for.  I made an 'oppresive' topic yesterday about hiding n00b posts and immediately received a message, not of offense, but of longing to be in this forum.  My response, in turn, was of course not to degrade the girl, but to encourage her to hang on, assuring her we needed more reasonable and interesting people in this forum. If you see aggression and elitism, it is not over every member not present in Yore (though hyperbole might tend toward that statement), but against n00bs (Click) a group that I don't mind rejecting.  That's the other purpose of this place after all, to gain a bit of respite from the immaturity that may plague the rest of the forums. The atmosphere created in this forum has been hugely successful on all counts.  You should note that in spite of being both newer and more restrictive than either of your other "members only" forums, it has the highest level of activity. That is all. -- Posted by TheOtherHorseman at 8:23 am on Jan. 28, 2008 YOU JERK! -- Posted by the real anti christ at 2:07 pm on Jan. 28, 2008 In my defence my signature is better then TOH's. -- Posted by Prince o palities at 2:09 pm on Jan. 28, 2008 This is not the Sex Forum.  Longer does not equal better. -- Posted by the real anti christ at 2:27 pm on Jan. 28, 2008 No better = better. Clearly Smiths poem is better. -- Posted by Prince o palities at 2:33 pm on Jan. 28, 2008 "No better" =/= "better."  I took geometry (granted, it was at Leander), and I know a faulty proof when I see one. -- Posted by the real anti christ at 2:41 pm on Jan. 28, 2008 And here I thought I could get away with my faulty leander math. -- Posted by OLPFan200 at 5:07 pm on Jan. 28, 2008 Quote: from Prince o palities at 5:33 pm on Jan. 28, 2008 "No better" =/= "better."  I took geometry (granted, it was at Leander), and I know a faulty proof when I see one. Having a wide variety of math skillz, I can verify that "no better" != "better" -- Posted by Prince o palities at 5:19 pm on Jan. 28, 2008 *insert Canadian joke here* -- Posted by The Samsoniteman at 5:06 am on Jan. 29, 2008 Quote: from davjs at 2:57 am on Jan. 18, 2008 some individuals are using their Yore status to put down, reject, and ignore newer members whose ideas and opinions should be listened to and respected. I've said what I came here to say. Surely putting down, rejecting and ignoring newer members is this forum's raison d'être. Also PoP's religious extremism most likely made him do it, cad that he is. -- Posted by Prince o palities at 5:58 am on Jan. 29, 2008 Quote: from The Samsoniteman at 7:06 am on Jan. 29, 2008 Quote: from davjs at 2:57 am on Jan. 18, 2008 some individuals are using their Yore status to put down, reject, and ignore newer members whose ideas and opinions should be listened to and respected.

Look it up! -- Posted by the real anti christ at 2:04 pm on Jan. 29, 2008 HAR! -- Posted by audrey820 at 9:58 am on Feb. 2, 2008 Everyone start being more like me. Invite noobs into the yore group.
