mangogrooveworkshop and scumbags
JonBowden - 7/5/07 at 06:22 PM

I don't normally get bugged by people on here and I understand that there is a scumbag posting on here.
However, I don't really appreciate mangogrooveworkshop's signature giving me a personalised message suggesting that I am a scumbag.


DIY Si - 7/5/07 at 06:24 PM

Perhaps a U2U may help?


David Jenkins - 7/5/07 at 06:26 PM

First time I read it I was a bit puzzled - then I realised that it was a badly-aimed & badly-worded warning to the recent PITA.

Now I just ignore it...


graememk - 7/5/07 at 06:26 PM

touchy


JonBowden - 7/5/07 at 06:29 PM

I'm not really that annoyed and don't really take it personally. I just feel it's a bit over the top. Perhaps I should have just sent a U2U


blakep82 - 7/5/07 at 06:40 PM

do you mean like the thing i got in my sig, that everyone then copied?

its not personally aimed at anyone. no one can your details and you can't see anyone elses. his calls everyone a scumbag


greggors84 - 7/5/07 at 06:42 PM

Unless my ISP company sub contract out their subscriptions to other smaller ISPs, it has got my ISP wrong!


coozer - 7/5/07 at 06:44 PM

Yes my IP and ISP are wrong too!


omega 24 v6 - 7/5/07 at 07:41 PM

LOL I've never noticed that one myself, it calls me that as well.
Do I get extra pay for being promoted

Methinks it's a fun thing and after recent events we all need to lighten up.


David Jenkins - 7/5/07 at 07:51 PM

Yes - let's not get all hot under the collar about it, otherwise the scumbag in question has won another round in his absence.

I just ignore the signature in question - it's irrelevant to me and mine.

Smile! You know it makes sense!


snapper - 7/5/07 at 08:31 PM

I have chosen to ignor it but do find it personally offensive.

A guilty conscience perhaps ? and I thought I was the touchy one .......

Patrick "mango" IS ONE OF THE GOODS GUYS

SO kindly leave him alone.




He may be one of the "Good guys" but it invades my personal space and i would wish this invasion to stop befor i had to send U2U's etc.

Do the right thing?

FYI - you were not the first... it first appeared on here about 3 years ago. I died out as people got bored with it... it isn't offensive to me as it is displayed to make people appear better than they are, which they are not.

JoelP - 7/5/07 at 08:40 PM

how the hell can people find it offensive? do you drive past a weight watchers billboard and feel they are calling you fat?! Its not aimed at you! Chill ffs


flak monkey - 7/5/07 at 08:43 PM

Ah calm down, its all a bit of fun.

well if its alright to call everyone whatever you like, then i shall get the same software and refure to every body as " F^ck Witt"

your argument does not stand up.


arrybradbury - 7/5/07 at 09:07 PM

Go for it I'm sure nobody will take it to heart though if everyone gets the same message!


Wadders - 7/5/07 at 09:10 PM

I don't have a clue what my i.p address is.
Ignorance is bliss obviously

P.S i'm sure its just a bit of fun, don't take it so seriously

Peteff - 7/5/07 at 09:33 PM

i'm not arguing, just saying that its the same message for everyone.

Hellfire, I meant this time round, but yeah, i know i'm not the first ever


JonBowden - 7/5/07 at 09:43 PM

I didn't mean to upset anyone and I have nothing against mangogrooveworkshop or anyone else here - all the regulars seem like good guys.
It just feels uncomfortable seeing a message with the internet equivalent of your home address saying that the occupant of this address is a scumbag. I know that it is not really personal and I know that it is just an automatically generated thing that everyone seeing the signature gets. It just feels uncomfortable.


JonBowden - 7/5/07 at 09:54 PM

There you go, I was just jealous
Now I can do it too.


Mark Allanson - 7/5/07 at 10:18 PM

mango's comments are directed at only one individual, who whowly deserves the tag, he is into german sausages and live pigs.


t.j. - 7/5/07 at 11:03 PM

I like the "scumbag" thing, It's funny that you can identify me.

I don't get hurt by the comment
I think it's humor

So lighten up. It's not like he's posting personal hurting topic OWE.

Grtz


blakep82 - 7/5/07 at 11:06 PM

^ i don't get offended by words. if someone walked up to me and kicked me sqaure in the nuts, then yes i'd be fairly offended by it, but not words


Peteff - 7/5/07 at 11:07 PM

He can't, only you can see it

Sorry if you took that the wrong way but as one of the victims of a total evil hijacker posting the most vile of porn on a few of our postings I had to take a stand.
If you are offended I am sorry, but if you viewed the picture you would understand.
That idiot is is reading all the posts and getting a result by causing disputes.
The fact he is getting peoples backs up is exactly what he wants. He had david upset the other day and Chris the boss is pulling out the stops to help us keep this idiot off the open forum.
QUOTE ZILSPEED
This is our safe bit of the WEB, lets keep it that way.

So If you are offended its nothing aimed at you.
Cheers Pat
One thing that bugs me is I always thought you westcoasters were tough boys Thats blown that view out the water.......

The IP tags, are only visible to you...no one else, and it is not logged by anyone!

To follow on from Mango's post, if you did NOT look at the site on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, then, I can understand that you really don't understand what has happened.

Since last Friday, I have become an administrator, which, turned out to be a blessing, as I could get rid of the filth that had been posted......

I fended off more than any of you can know... ....but.....sadly, even I fell asleep at some point over the weekend...... I had a total of 10 hours sleep from the time I woke up on Friday morning, until this morning when I went to bed at 12.30am.

On Sunday afternoon, Chris came on board, and worked very, very hard to re-write a new registration proceedure, to try and keep this community safer. We tested it, and it works fine...

After such a hectic, depressing weekend..the 'scum-bag' bit on the bottom of Mangos post made me smile...

After all, someone else told me on his, that my mother WAS a hamster....but that was wrong....she IS a hamster .......

Anyway, its only in good light hearted fun...

ATB Fozzie

p.s. Happy birthday to me!


mangogrooveworkshop - 8/5/07 at 10:55 AM

Full marks to Fozzie

What those who said they were off to Stoney didnt know was that this lowlife defaced the posts knowing that they wouldnt be able to delete them as they were offline. Fozzie did a sterling job along with Chris to help clean up the mess created by this SCUMBAG.
Zil got hit David and a few others all got these vile pictures tagged on to postings.

Ive been around the net awhile and seen some very bad pictures but these rate among the worst for many a year.

So Mr Bowden I said my bit and that I consider to be a line in the sand....... case closed.

Fozzie and Chris top guys


JonBowden - 8/5/07 at 11:45 AM

I seem to have created more fuss than I meant to. It just made me feel a bit uncomfortable.

Oh, thanks to Chris and Fozzie - your efforts worked so well that I thought the scumbag had gone away


Fozzie - 8/5/07 at 11:55 AM

Aww you're welcome!

As Mango says.......Line in sand...

Group hug.......

Lets move on.....

Fozzie


Fozzie - 8/5/07 at 12:52 PM

Thank you Mark

The birthday greetings are not late..

Being a bank holiday weekend, I tried to celebrate with various family members, but it didn't quite work out, due to 'you know what/who'....

But the actual birthday, is today!

Again many thanks,
Fozzie


flak monkey - 8/5/07 at 12:53 PM

T'was mine that said your mother was a hamster, I am sorry to hear the curse hasn't been lifted yet though, and that she still remains in her hamster state.

I am sure everyone appreciates the amount of effort you (Fozzie) and Chris have put in, and it certainly seems to have stopped the issue *touch wood*

Happy birthday Fozzie

David


David Jenkins - 8/5/07 at 12:54 PM

Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday, Dear Fozzie,
Happy Birthday to you.

Add your own tune!

No, Dad bought her round for a visit this morning
but,
she was happier when I gave her a saucer of sunflower seeds! She seemed to like them

Many thanks David and David for the birthday wishes and song!....

Happy Birthday Fozzie! Is it a significant one, or just 21 again?!

Thanks Si

Sadly....the latter of the above choices
the 'again' being overly used!

Fozzie


iank - 8/5/07 at 02:15 PM

Happy birthday Fozzie!

Though blood boils that you likely saw more than enough very unpleasant material to last a lifetime.

Oh, 21 and some months as my mum says, though she's well over 500 months these days


DIY Si - 8/5/07 at 02:16 PM

I'm sure you look as radiant now as you did the first time around! Many (but not too many!) happy returns.


Fozzie - 8/5/07 at 02:36 PM

Thanks guys!
