Posted: 01:14 - 09 Jul 2004 Post subject: Strange People |
|
|
Now I understand that visordown.com maybe closed for a few days but does that really mean that they have to let their normal 'clients' out and about on the WWW. I am getting rather scared by the strange people that keep turning up and they are getting stranger by the hour. They seem to be attracted like moths to a lightbulb

Haven't seen anything about that on Visor Down, and it was down earlier today but that was only whilst they were doing upgrades to the forum software. And their normal "clients" as you refer to them, are able to go anywhere on the web anyway.
The people who have been joining here recently, yes there have been some rather odd people about, but they are not striking me as "Visor Down" types of people (well, other than in the thread about the font ) they just seem to be n00b like . I'm sure they'll settle down at some point, or as no one is making you be here, if you don't like it you are free to leave if you want to and that's better than sitting and moaning about it being crap and how the people here are too strange. |

Well, it is possible to be part of more than one forum you know, and there is room for both forums I believe. (just don't let sheepy anywhere near here!) |

I think the recent strangeness can be put down to everyone being inside due to the rain as opposed to out on their bikes enjoying the summer.
Fair enough about it not being a moan, and yeah reading back over your first post again you're not moaning you're simply making an observation. |

Commuter-me...........
..400 miles a week........rain/snow/shine.......etc, etc.......
.....and love every minute of it...........
......I am still surprised (and I shouldn't be) at the apparent lack of social grace demonstrated by some people (e.g. come on here, don't read the posting instructions, and start demanding answers)....... |

Well just like in real life you get people who do that in day to day life, we now also have to put up with them on the internet. I'm sure they'll get bored soon, or will one day learn some common sense. Or perhaps not which is more likely I believe .
400 miles a week can't be enjoyable in some of the weather we get, I get fed up enough with my 10 minute ride to work each day some time, although if it was a 40 mile trip I think I'd probably have got a slightly more commuter bike but that could take half the fun of riding to and from work away? (doh) |

Its a thing some people do when they are incapable of forming their thoughts into structured sentances. You get used to it after a while, provided they are not too random
Worst thing i ever saw somebody do on a forum was use brackets when talking.
he did it like this (used brackets i mean (lol)(was very annoy(as you couldnt understand what he was saying)(unless you were a programmer and were used to it (lolz) (think he might have been a programmer ( ))))) |

Bracket just make it impossible to follow the text really. The full stop don't, as you just read them as like a pause or something, like people do pause when speaking.
What bike do you use which manages to put up with all that lot then? Your local tyre shop must like you as you're probably one of their best customers I reckon . |

Not an insult, more an observation. I've seen alot of people do it both on message boards and it chat rooms. you dont see the point of thinking for a few seconds and typing:
It isn't too bad, i get a good mixture of roads when traveling 80 miles from Essex village into London and back again each day
.
when you could just start typing right away and write as you think:
It isn't too bad......I get a good mix of roads.......from Essex village into London...and back again....80 miles a day.
I've seen alot worse styles of typing than yours, i just find it interesting to see what people do and why |
