But what is punk?

Thing about this site, is that 90% of the posts seem to be written by probably 5% of the users who clearly have fuck all to do with their time, and seem to make it their life's mission to get involved in every discussion from thrash metal to knitting despite having no interest or knowledge of the subject that is under discussion. Hardly surprising that things constantly get out of hand.

I see this with other forums I use all the time - regular users will come in, leave a smart arsed reply to a genuine topic, then one of his mates jumps in and has a wee blast back at him, then someone else wades in with their humourous quip and before long the thread is on page 3 or 4 and its got nothing to do with the topic. I havent been using this forum for long enough to know who everyone is and how serious they're being so tend to just lurk aorund the forum without saying much, but its very rare that I'll go past page 2 or 3 in a topic on here as after that it generally disintegrates into a cosy cosy mates chat.

As for the layout of the forum, I'm still stumped. Most of my lurking about on here is spent looking for that topic I was reading the other day...

Oh aye and a wee anecdote - was on a forum for a certain Paisley based football team and seen a thread about tickets for the up coming semi-final against R*ngers. Went into it to get some info to find it had been closed as there was 'already a thread running about this...' - a regular occurence on that site, with the mods locking threads to stop multiples of the same etc.

So i scours around, finds the thread that was already running, only to find that Post #1 was a genuine query, Post #2 was a regular who was ripping the piss and basically calling the guy a dumbass, and the thread ran to 2-3 pages without another word about the tickets.

There are still some damn good and sensible debates going on, if you search hard enough. I've really been enjoying getting my teeth into the debate in the Calderwood thread.

That can get confusing actually. Like, talking about a gig in Drummonds for example, is it under Music Discussion? Feedback Forum? Other Clubs & Venues? I think there are too many forums. By the way this should be in "Comments & Suggestions", for the record.

I've been a bit of a bastard to people from time to time, because I just don't 'get' people and their daft opinions, and I I start e-punching. I'm like Wayne Rooney on the internet, if he knew how to switch his computer on.

It's not like real life though is it? In the real world, you can just say "outside" and have a scrap with fisticuffs in the car park. 13 rounds. Bareknuckle.

I can confirm this to be the case.

That said, I don't think my posts tend to be personal or aggressive. Totally ridiculous, yes.

I miss Stripey.

What the hell's happened to him? Did he get arrested at the G20 riots or something?
