Karma exchange
 

You rub my back and i will rub yours? :rolleyes:

I post on a VB message board with a similar format to this one and have a 'reputation beyond repute' here I am a lowly nobody and feel a bit left out. :(

Any takers? :o

Re: Karma exchange
 

Not like you have anything to give back, but out of the goodness of my heart ;)

Re: Karma exchange
 

Fraser is so nice .. The lounge says....... piss off..........

Re: Karma exchange
 

You can have all mine ... seriously ... if the mods can make it happen then you have my permission to inherit all my Karma.

That's not to say I'm not grateful to the people who have sent me so many nice messages but that I feel like starting 2006 afresh.

G'wan, take it all :)

Cheers,
Matt

Not another Drama queen ... just resign your commission Matt...

Re: Karma exchange
 

If I get to the stage of posting countless pictures to cover for a lack of wit or insightful comment then I'll think about going :D

Re: Karma exchange
 

Your just not as brazen as I ...

Re: Karma exchange
 

Do you speak for the whole of the lounge or are you taking liberties? :D

Re: Karma exchange
 

I leave others to speak for that ...

Re: Karma exchange
 

Just as I thought, your bark is worse than your bite.

Re: Karma exchange
 

there you go spiral tribe.....I've just sent you some.

Re: Karma exchange
 

Methinks some of these lounge peeps need a gentle reminder as to 'where' the lounge is?

Clue: It's NOT in The Barbie! ;)

Re: Karma exchange
 

Nah, Ray's one of the paying members here so he can wander at will. I just cant figure out why you'd pay for anything on any forum. Now (so the announcement says) EVERYONE can have a blog for free whereas you'd have to pay prior to a few days ago. I just dont get it. There must be a million places where you can get a free blog space, paying for one reminds me of a dumb blonde wife of a mate of mine who proudly called herself a "published poet" since she paid some shady ripoff company to put her rubbish poem in some book along with a couple hundred poet wannabees. The deal was something like you had to buy about 5 of the books.
This world is full of the gullible aint it ? :rolleyes:

Re: Karma exchange
 

I've often wondered just exactly what the benefits of paying are on here!! Like you say, used to be the blog.....what now? All I know is it would take a 'helluva' ot more than that to get me to part with my hard earned!!!! :rolleyes:

Re: Karma exchange
 

It just contributes to the site costs, it's only a minimal fee FFS :rolleyes:

Re: Karma exchange
 

Testy there fraser. Everyone here is contributing to BE profits/losses
Premium members dont get ads, the rest of us do. They pay for not getting ads, if everyone wanted to pay for not having ads there would be no advertisers FFS :rolleyes:

Re: Karma exchange
 

I think you misunderstood my post............I was trying to ascertain 'what' you get for your money, and pointing out that it would cost more than a 'blog' to persuade me to 'pay'.
Obviously the answer is 'very little - maybe even nothing', except the peace of mind that you are helping to fund the site.
Thats good by me......no problems with that!
If one day, I had in the region of 15000 posts, maybe then I would consider giving something back! :)

Re: Karma exchange
 

I knew fraser would have to be on this thread somewhere, the mere mention of karma sends him into a frenzy of orgasmic convultions :p

Re: Karma exchange
 

I don't convulse :p

Re: Karma exchange
 

Yeah, but they are sick of each other in the lounge. Yet they keep scaring off new posters, so they're left with each other again.

Hence they start invading the Barbi, just for the chance to talk to anyone else but themselves. :rolleyes:

Re: Karma exchange
 

Oh dear, why don't you just let it go mate :D

Re: Karma exchange
 

I pays my money so I can use whatever part of this site I wish.

Re: Karma exchange
 

Thats exactly what I thought!
Since this business with Paul2004/5/6/7/8 over the past couple of days, I have noticed an influx of lounge posters in here. Wouldnt mind but from what I've seen so far they do little but hijack threads and bad mouth one another! At first I thought it was playful banter, but increasingly it appears that that is not the case! :rolleyes:

Bite me!

Re: Karma exchange
 

and you need a reminder that this is a public forum.

Re: Karma exchange
 

Let what go? I'm not holding it :p

Re: Karma exchange
 

Really :rolleyes:

Re: Karma exchange
 

and which re-incarnation are you?

Re: Karma exchange
 

Mate you're like a dog with a bone, I know you had words in there but it doesn't mean everyones vindictive, the same shit goes on in here all the time, normally with Rob at the centre of it.

Re: Karma exchange
 

hello fraser, I see you're dominating another karma thread :D

Re: Karma exchange
 

It would be different if they tried to be a bit better in the Barbi than in the lounge, but they still have their same gawdawful arrogant attitude when they post in here.

Anyway, my post was a response to fluffy the campsite layer, who did ask after all .:rolleyes:

And it is true, so I posted the explanation of why they feel the need to post on an Australian forum.

Re: Karma exchange
 

Only as public as the owners wish

as for lounge posters coming here, why the hell not. Ive not seen any trolls around for a while and if a lounge poster invokes lively debate, I'm all for it.

You cant allow a forum to become stagnant, no more than you can allow it to become a forum of animosity. There has to be a balance to keep people interested in coming. There are many passive people here that keep coming no matter whats going on. Its been my experience through some of the Pm's Ive received that while they are passive and gentle in their own posts, they do enjoy a bit of shi* on the forum, it livens things up.

Personally I may be considered a stirrer and that sits ok with me. I believe people to know that there's no literal malice intended and I'm just (many times) doing my part to liven the forum up. Its called being a contributor not unlike any other poster here.

Re: Karma exchange
 

But quite a few of us are in Oz, GG, Walla1 and myself for starters

Re: Karma exchange
 

;) You sussed me ;)

Re: Karma exchange
 

so what's your point?

Re: Karma exchange
 

My first line was intended for you, not the rest, but Im up for it mate.....
This isnt a public forum, its a private company.
Any point I failed to make ????

Re: Karma exchange
 

And they weren't the ones being referred to. :rolleyes:

If I have to spell it out, its the american based expats posting on a subforum of the australian forum that was the question...

Sheesh :rolleyes: Anyway, this is a first, a Karma whoring thread gone sour!!! :p

Re: Karma exchange
 

up the toon :p

Re: Karma exchange
 

ok, but what you up for?

Re: Karma exchange
 

piss off :D

Re: Karma exchange
 

all things lead to the demonisation of the lounge.
