It was amazing. You guys would have loved the ladies / girls. The Asian ladies were particularly popular - and so was the rope dancer. The snake handler got her fair share of cheers too.

It was really worth it. One performer nearly fell but he recovered nicely (and no it was not part of the act - we have seen it before and the last time he did the blindfold act perfectly). The finale was hilarious!
I remember that. That's when he's running blindfolded on the outside of that death-wheel thing and "falls" but grabs on and goes under. ? That one?
If it is, then yeah, I had front row seats with the asian acrobat chicks. Those leotards talk about cam-toe...

Ah then he has changed his act. I fell for it hook line and sinker.

Considering the way Stuart and Tribble were taking the conversation, that remark was either very wrong timing or you're not welcome here anymore..... which is it?

Ryan_Cooper, So what's with the cute avatar. Are we supposed to take pity on you or something? 'cos it's working.

Tribble · Post by **Tribble** » 02 Feb 2009, 15:50

It is cute

A friend of mine pointed something out to me, namely that for a IT forum, there is a lot of rubbish floating around. Even now, of 10 recently updated threads, only 3 are IT related!

I am pretty sure that breakup advice, "posthumanism", your opinions on the above person and the rest can all come under this thread. Come on people, quit the freakin spam, or at leat put it where it belongs!

Excuse me sir, but we have no desire to be dishing out un-pickup lines around here. Let's keep Ward things where they belong. This is the place to have sensible, friendly, non-emo (unless you're NDA) discussions about all things related to English and General Rubbish. Breakups should never be done in English, and should you refer to your (ex) partner as trash, you may end up incapable of viewing the Spam thread for quite some time.

nope. its just that the whole morning I have been occasionally browsing this forum, and it seems that it has turned to utter drivel. For example, I personally do not care to hear about steers new veg patties being made of actual vegies and not far eastern beans. The name at the top says PCFormat, not Hippy format.

I do not mean to single that one out, but it is a prime example of topics that are just taking up space for NO reason...

edit: the reason I posted this here is because it is SPAM related.

Whilst we all agree that Prime takes up space for NO reason, we still do not wish to have the Ward relegated to our thread. Perhaps Ronald could be persuaded to redirect all submissions in the Ward to the Marie Claire forums.

now that you mention it stewie (stuie? stooy?), at least 66% of the threads on this forum can be moved to Marie Calire, Cosmo, O, FHM, SnS and others...

GreyWolf, Go have a look over at here-----> http://forums.pcformat.co.za/viewtopic. ... te+of+spam

The thread was locked but hey, check it out and see what the mods and admins say. I know you just want to vent. But this is chillout, not for venting.

Just thought the explanations in that thread by the higher powers themselves would bring some closure to your feelings towards the spam threads. I'm trying to help you man.

ROFL but you did have to single out that one - I created it. And yes - serious folk like you must get tired of the fun the rest of us have. So I do understand the angst you must feel when you look at the recent topics list and see chill out threads from here to kingdom come. Most of us are in IT or related fields and spend the entire day at work dealing with software or hardware. We don't all get off on discussing it in our breaks - so we tend to chat about other things. We have made friends here and this forum is a family forum - where we act like family.

Lancelot has voiced his support for the chillout zones and Ron2k has explained that he cannot give you what you currently want ( a sidebar). So I understand that you feel that if you come here and try and force us to stop posting - then you will ultimately get what you want. And I do applaud your attempt. There is one small problem however - we like it here. And until we get banned, locked out, restricted or ignored - we will continue to chat.

You have two choices - well three actually, perhaps 4 would be more correct. You can ignore us - you can leave - you can be miserable and complain all the time - or (and this is the one I would suggest) you could join us and learn to chill out a bit. Relax - put your feet up and make a few friends. Ultimately - the choice is yours.

Yeah, what the lady said too.

Synthesis · Post by **Synthesis** » 02 Feb 2009, 16:14

How about we start a SA thread (Spammers anonymous):

Good morning. My name is Synthesis and it's been 6 hours since I last spammed. <applause>

Stooy?

That's a new one on me.

I do agree, however ... all those irritating anime/manga threads should really be relegated to the seventh level of Cosmopolitan. However, should we do away with the Chillout...Relax section, the Active Topics page would look something like this ...

1. Upgrading ... help me choose
2. Which mobo should I go for?
3. What do you think of this upgrade?
4. Bring back the sidebar
5. Advice on upgrading
6. Where can I buy these components
7. I just upgraded ... what are your thoughts?
8. Help me choose components
9. Which dress should I go for?
10. DIRECTX 11 IN WINDOWS XP!!!!!!!!

etc.

Personally, I find a good dose of English Spam and General Rubbish refreshing amongst all the posts asking for upgrade advice or wondering who likes chicken.

Tribble · Post by **Tribble** » 02 Feb 2009, 16:15

Now that would be awesome. What would the time limit be?

GreyWolf · Post by **GreyWolf** » 02 Feb 2009, 16:17

I do apologise for coming off all agro. Tribs, I do understand what you are saying and that is fine. I am as guilty as anyone of taking part in the chill out section.

But let me ask you this: does a thread have to be made for every single opnion that pops into peoples minds?

And we have tried ignoring Tribble, but a look at her post count (which she loves ... she always wants us to comment on it) will tell you how successful that was.

Does a new thread have to be made for every single person who wants to upgrade or know what's better between an E8400 or a Q9300?

Applause? With our crowd? Six hours without spam would result in name calling and excommunication from The Fellowship of the Spam.
