Hey OT! ;D Welcome everyone to the new forum! 8) I didnt want to say anything coz i should probbaly post somehting decent myself but after such a great race you would think there are some things to talk about. Like michelin's bald tyres after and during the race, arrows lack of reading the rule book, ralf's crappy optometrist and rubens changing lines 3 times. alright, its all been covered.... I was thinking OT, as someone who knows their stuff - how do you think we can judge a driver properly? Everyone bitching back and forth about ms, monty whatever, car this, tyres that. Its really a matter of the whole package. We have to say that ferrari won on sunday over williams - otherwise its a battle of faster car, lighter fuel, warmer tyres -schuey did it easy blah blah blah..... It was just great to get back to watching racing - regardles sof the inevitable we have been starved of toe-to-toe cars at top speed....monty and michael made it interesting - pity for trulli but he hsould have thought... as for the ozzie....

well OT, you beat me to it! the forum is going to shit. Flame-live is more it's name now. the jerry springer show behaves more than that. I would of thought that now we are back into the season that forum pollution levels would be dropped, however i feel that the forum is worse than ever, and is busy going on with insults, bitching etc. now, some of us here do it too.. so , if we want to make it a better forum, we must not flame, but silently ignore flamers/insults, and rise above it. otherwise, are we any better? poor robyn

<font face=verdana size=2 color=blue><b> Interesting you should say that glendo. I have decided that I won't reply to any more of T3's posts. He is being purely antagonistic. In fact I don't even bother reading any of his posts any more.
But I enjoy spiking Whinger Ron every now and then - just for fun. And yes I do feel sorry for Robyn.
On another note - isn't it cute how this board changes "b!tch" to "pregnant dog" and "sh!t" to "nuts" - LOL

ozcar - F1-Live - it does get a bit repetitve doesn't it? Farking boring is the term that actually comes to mind. I made a couple of posts just recently on a couple of different threads that I thought were reasonably intelluctual and certainly cleaned up the tone of the thread - and they died. Stone cold dead. It seems as if any post has any logic to it - you're wasting your time - it will be way over the top of the F1-Live dimwits. That's why I couldn't wait to get back to this place.

OT,
I have to agree with you about the "F1-Live" forum...however, I feel partly to blame. I think alot of people posting there, no longer are rational about anything. They're either Pro something, or Anti something, and fail to be open minded about ANYTHING.
I don't think they're really all that close minded, but more just trying to get peoples goats...or "take the piss"! In the past, I tried to use the "Live" forum for serious discussion, and alternatively I'd use the "General" forum to take the piss, or intentionally get some rilled up.
Over time, I forgot about the "Live" forum, then worse, they took it away & left us with nothing but the "General" forum.
I have to say I'm guilty of abusing what's left of the forum. It's so bad now, that I'm getting tired of it.
If I get carried away in here, PLEASE remind me! I'll try to keep comments serious! Thanks...
Later, RacerX

The more time the spend at F1-live the more I want to DESTROY T3. Most of the time I can avoid his posts, but lately....AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I just can't take him anymore. I feel like I'm going to start going off on him like Beef does.
Whewwwwww. Thanks I just needed to get that off my chest.

If anyone is interested I'm having a go at T3. He put up a topic called "A good feeling to see MS play like that". Well I have had it with him and his "opinions", So I have turned into a 12 year old brat that is intent on antagonizing him.
I know that this not the way to solve problems, but I just need to get it out of my system. Please don't think less of me, but I am having fun doing it right now.
If any of you have a chance to keep that topic near the top I would appreciate it. I want it to follow him until he starts to answer me, and then.....well you'll find out....

as someone who doesnt really post much interesting, intuitive, knowledgable or antagonistic on f1-live - i take pride in tyring not to piss people off. 8) and i must say this apparent disdain for thaty forum at the minute is great for one reason - all the great posters are over here talking issues and trading interesting thoughts. i thought shamu got a bit stagnant there for a minute towards the end of the stay at xsorbit but this is great. just nice to be here.... ;D

cmon guys, the worse thing you can do is whinge about the way it is, but it is double standard if you are participating in it, or starting it. best thing to do.. is help clean it up. avoid joining the flame wars, ignore the idiots, and promote good topics. f1-live is getting that bad that i might go to motorsportforums.com... a far cleaner forum.

The up and down swings of the F1-Live forum is really nothing new. Last year as the season began we saw the same thing happening, and at the time there was a big movement to create a "master forum" for serious posters.
My belief then, and now, is to simply try to post quality posts. The garbage can be ignored, and in the long run will go away to a certain extent. It will never diappear completely, but it can remain at acceptable levels.
For the time being I'm not too interested in posting there, but feel better hanging out here at Shamu.

glendo and henrik, the trouble with that is that any worthwile new threads or posts either sink like a stone or just get ignored. It is very frustrating. And then you have T3...
And RX, you can't blame yourself for the trash on the forum, your "humour" stands out like dog sh!t on the pavement. The whole trouble is that 9 out of 10 of these morons can't see the dog sh!t (for what it is) and tread on it.
Hey, that gets back to my lead in post on this thread!
