Arrow : Well, I hope you're happy, guys.

They basically said that all the bullying on the boards is the reason why they're being shut down. So I hope it was worth it.

"Never wrestle with a pig. You get filthy and besides, the pig likes it." Cyrus Ching

Maybe it was, for them. I mean *beep*, bullies are like viruses. They'll just go find some other people to target and victimize, and no sweat off their backs, but a *beep* of satisfaction in their sick hearts.

Board Signature: You have failed this omelet!

I don't know, they might regret the fact that they no longer have this board to show the people on Arrow how bad the show has gotten.

*hugs* I'll miss you. Want to connect on social media?

"Never wrestle with a pig. You get filthy and besides, the pig likes it." Cyrus Ching

Uh, not sure if I know you, and even if I did, I don't have any social media accounts, cause I don't do that *beep* haha. Not to mention I wouldn't give it out to random strangers online anyway.

But hey, if you really want to talk Arrow and *beep* hop over to Zetaboards Colliding Worlds and make an account. *shrugs*

Board Signature: You have failed this omelet!

Thought I'd ask. LOL I like you.

And I'll look, though I'm skeptical. This board has made me nervous about boards in general.

"Never wrestle with a pig. You get filthy and besides, the pig likes it." Cyrus Ching

Yeah, a lot of other Arrow board-ers have made the switch over to Colliding Worlds already, I mean, soyou know, it's just the normal, sane, rational people over there. For now, anyway. Who knows? In the future, trolls and psychopaths might overrun the place too. *shrugs* But for now, it's nice.

Board Signature: You have failed this omelet!

I'll consider it. :)

"Never wrestle with a pig. You get filthy and besides, the pig likes it." Cyrus Ching

Geeky, did you have an older screen name? Maybe I'm thinking of someone else.

Roxy used to post here some while ago, if you had a different name she might remember it?

I was AlmiraBat(plus #s), but I don't remember if we talked while I had that name.

"Never wrestle with a pig. You get filthy and besides, the pig likes it." Cyrus Ching

I hope you make the move with us Geeky, though we often have a different opinion to each other, I always felt that's what imo makes discussing these things fun, I hope Josue also makes the jump, I mean he may be a bit nutty but he grows on you, and id miss seeing either of you guys posting your thoughts on a show we all love.

I'll make the jump if I'm convinced it's more about discussion and less about rampant hate of any particular character.

Thank you for being one of the more positive fans. :)

"Never wrestle with a pig. You get filthy and besides, the pig likes it." Cyrus Ching

Well you know how that famous Ghandi misquote goes, be the change you want to see, better chance of a balanced board if those with diverging opinions are part of the initial influx, if it turns to crap it's easy enough to leave right?

Come on Geeky take a chance and join usjoin us

if I agree to a probationary period, is that okay?

"Never wrestle with a pig. You get filthy and besides, the pig likes it." Cyrus Ching

Absolutely, if it's not a good fit for you so be it, it's not like theirs a membership feewait there isn't a fee is there? Lith? Anyone? Help!!

There isn't - Lith would have told us.

Lance is a Saint

Good, because I'm skint and I sold my soul years ago for a pack of hubba bubbanever haggle with the devil when your drunk, that's all I'm saying.

Don't worry. The only fee is pain, suffering, and tears.

mostly by me, as the admin/it guy for it.


You're suffering from delusions of adequacy.

I'll probably give it a shot. Can't be worse than here, with an admin that'll actually do something if we get trolls

Don't we all? Actually I think I accidentally contradict my own arguments sometimes, but I'm an idiot so meh

Commments like this make me actually want to go. :) Thanks, Ninth!

"Never wrestle with a pig. You get filthy and besides, the pig likes it." Cyrus Ching

Agreed it wouldnt be the same without everyone jumping ship to a new board. Everyone brings their own uniqueness and thoughts





Do you mind if I have a piece of your thigh? It would complement this fine '76 Shiraz

Strangely, this helps.

Oh Geeky has going to have a meltdown and beyond when the boards close. Her BS will not last one day on reddit. Oh who will she bitch and moan to on a daily basis.

She's welcome on Lith's board, tyvm. Lith has said so.

I took a moment to take her off ignore to see this, and I'll make an account very soon.

"Never wrestle with a pig. You get filthy and besides, the pig likes it." Cyrus Ching

Please do. Colliding Worlds also has an ignore option, so you can easily avoid anyone who has the temerity of disagreeing with you.

I hope it has a bio text field for each user so you can put an advisory in yours, advising people not to talk to GeekyBriggs (and me) because you somehow lost some of your sanity in doing so. *chuckles*

Rinzzler, kill yourself boy :)

Bullying is going to exist everywhere, whether they like it or not. Might as well just shut down commenting on YouTube, reviews, etc.

I always feel as much imposed upon by the people who say things like, "Haters gonna hate" because what they're really saying is, "The internet has lowered our standards right down into the mud, now get over it and accept this hideous behavior even though it's coming from people who know enough not to pull that sht."

I'm a big fan of not lowering our standards to put up with garbagebecause no one should have to eat garbageand instead demanding from the "haters" and "trolls" that they realise what's so repulsive about them.

You are a troll, though.

How many negative replies have you wrote to people on these boards?

You don't even know me.

Too late, just look at the garbage we're fed daily from a certain city by the East Coast a little South of Philly and north of Richmond. Angry, stupid, ignorant, hate is what has become the new normal.

I still don't buy that IMDB is doing away with the message boards because of the bile some posters spew there. The good far outweighs the bad, at least in my experience thus far.

A lot of posters put such depth of thought and intelligence and reasoning into their posts; it gives me hope for humanity when they do so respectfully and with great courtesy toward one another.

Yes, sadly. And this is what I'm arguing against. I'm hoping more people will speak out against people who post angry, stupid, hateful ignorance. It wasn't necessary one or three generations ago, it's not necessary today.

Good post, Cotton-mouth. If only people would speak up

Sometimes I want to shut down YouTube comments myself!

Right?! YouTube comments are plain awful and WAY worse than the kiddy crap they pull here, yet obviously they couldn't care less about it.

"I have EXORCISED the demon"

Actually, YouTube has been ghost banning people for at least 2-3 years now.

Something IMDb would've started on this board, if they weren't already shutting it down.

Sheriff's back in town - return of the Gatekeeperstrolls beware.


Hate-watching says more about the viewer than it does about the show.

YouTube comments

People have to View in order to post, even when they're posting kiddy crap. More views, more money. Google is extremely unlikely to shut that down.

No.

It's because there's very few people roaming these message boards compared to the people on IMDB's social media. IMDB didn't want to spend unessceary money hosting the message boards for a small amount of people. That's it.

Someone in the crowd will be the one you need to know

They sort of explicitly say so too:

The decision to retire a long-standing feature was made only after careful consideration and was based on data and traffic.

Neither is your response *checks nails*

"Never wrestle with a pig. You get filthy and besides, the pig likes it." Cyrus Ching

To the surprise of no one, Almira makes this all about herself too. I'll miss seeing her play the victim card. No one could do it as pathetically as her.

I'm not going to defend everything she says or does, but at least she is willing to engage and discuss with anyone who shares her opinions OR has different opinions. She talks and/or argues when people engage with her and she presents facts and opinions to back up her arguments. I respect her, the same way I respect everyone here who actually engages in discussion, whether I agree with it or not.

Almira is not a coward, unfortunately the same cannot be said about you and many others who just want to complain constantly. When asked to actually talk and discuss what you hate, you and others just disappear. So how about, stop being a coward and let's talk! I asked you to explain something you wrote to me here and of course you completely ignored it, like a coward.
http://www.imdb.com/board/12193021/board/thread/264869555?d=265289475#265289475

Maybe someone will finally answer this post with an actual discussion but probably not because many of you are just childish cowards who want to throw temper tantrums instead of discussing your opinions.
http://www.imdb.com/board/12193021/board/thread/264746963?d=264775731#264775731

There are a bunch of people on this board who would rather whine and complain and surround themselves with people who only whine and complain and never actually discuss what they hate. And yes, some people here bully others who speak up with different opinions, I've seen that happen on both sides.

And answer me this, before the board finally goes away - why did you feel the need to create an all out advisory telling everyone to not talk to me? Simply because I challenge you and speak up about your constant hate?

Don't have the time or desire to read your typical essays B&G, so I will just assume it's just another sanctimonious and self righteous tirade from you.

Take care dear. I hope you are just as easy going in whatever board you occupy next.
