Why do so many people on *****.co.uk hate this site ?
Hi,
I'm a visitor to this site and
[URL=http://www.*****.co.uk/chat/phpbb/index.php[/URL]
Why do so many on there hate this site ?
Why do they call this "the darkside" ?
I don't understand.
Can anyone enlighten me ?
Steve

heh, board rivalry.
We have the same problem at www.watmm.com with another rival site XLTronic. I guess it's common between boards with similar content.

But I guess maybe now people are taking it seriously?
And of course there's always rivalry between boards for some stupid reason....

Centurix,
Thanks for those links. Will come in handy one day when I get time.
Funny, this rivalry thing, if that's what it is. It's not as if anyones making money out of it & competing.
Simone82,
Well, I guess the appropriate reply is
"May the force be with you" !
I just wish people could get along, be nice to each other, and consider other poeples feelings.
By the way, you're welcome to check out my links on my website.
Mainly New Zealand stuff, but some science & computers.

All the best to everyone,
Steve

My husband made the site, he's a graphic designer
Yep, only Oz, I know nothing about NZ. Hope to visit some day though
Nice site as well! I hope to be able to do something like that myself one day!

It was because I didnt realise I could mention this site on *****. And some people where calling it the "other place" ect. I couldnt remember what they had called it one time and it kind of stuck
It wasnt meant as a slag off, but some took it that way
If you look at my post count here and on ***** you will see where I spend my time
When you are on ***** try to post a link here and see what comes up
Its nothing bad and it does link here, but look at what comes up on your screen
