How many members/Lurkers left/don't post because of

[Masato]

Vutu/Som?

Just wondering. Seems quite a few have done so...
Apparently I missed some heat while I was gone, and some valued members fucked off. No idea of the truth of it/too lazy to go read all the threads, lol

Everyone knows I love Som to death, but its also no secret that he and Vutu have a style of posting that is not easily understood or appreciated by the casual viewer. I've seen a few new members chased off pretty fast lately. I just wonder how much negative vs positive effect it is having on the forum.

Don't get me wrong I am not changing the anarchistic theme, only daring to examine how it is working, and how others are perceiving it.
Is the concept of the 1 'rule' (be cool) still being met?

honest perspectives please

thanks

- I think lurkers don't post because they don't want to do a account, i lurk Martial arts planet, and i can't get to create a account, i lurk a brazilian Body-building forum and it's the same thing.

^ don't want to make an account, or CAN'T make an account?

I thought it was pretty easy here to sign up, no?


I have been receiving some complaints though... I can understand how its not fun to be part of a forum/community where you're always attacked by someone though, or have open threads derail into private conversations in a private language, or some kind of racism themed derailment :D

Is this the price of an anarchistic society?

Guess you can't have evryething lol

I remember a time when I was genuinely interested in growing some roots at ninjashoes.com. Was a good little community with some out-of-the-box thinking and oldschool MMA appreciation.

But there were these 2 fucks who trolled every thread, and one of them had a big fat naked dude eating grapes as his sig so you saw it everywhere, lolol (not a bad troll actually :) )

It got exhausting and I left. A good forum imo is about MOMENTUM. You build on the idea flow and creativity and it attracts new energy and spirials UPward. If you throw a stone it might be a good throw but it fucks up the flow

Be aware of one's surroundings

- Dont want, it's the same with me on the foruns i mentioned, i like to read, but i think i wound't fit on them.
We are all like sitcom characters, people like to watch us, but they don''t wan't to have to interact with us. I agree we need to atrack new posters, we need to bring back the old ones that made accounts here.

- It's ease to sign here, but so people don wan't

- I agree with using private leanguage makes people feel unconfortable whem they are new. Getting atacked is like a wrestling rib, they just wan't to see how thick is your skin. I don't like racism.

[Masato]

thick skin is not always the optimal quality to judge

[Masato]

I suspect we'd find many treasures and insights from relatively more timid personalities

many wise people never speak if there are no soft ears to listen

The "I've been receiving complaints " lone EY used prior to him banning anyone who dared question his stupidity.

The OG went a similar route with its anti racism drive in 2012.

Both are shadows of their prior selves.

You can ban us man and itll be np hard feelings just be honest about it which you are.

One thing is for sure is this wont be an anarchy zone in the true sense.

How I'm handling this thread is proof of my intentions to run a true anarchistic forum imo

True anarchy should have room for respectfully discussing differences and trying to problem-solve.
The complaints are no fabrication btw. Not a lot, but enough to warrant consideration and possible discussion.

I have no intentions of banning anyone (except Nostromo and Det Kimble, who I happily enjoyed lol), & agree that would shatter all I've tried to create.

This is an EXPERIMENT in conscious anarchy! If you believe in it then lets prove it can work!

- The worst type of posters that has on the net, is the ones that expose people information.(Unless the people exposed are some type of scum), neither Pomg or vutu seen the type to doo that, they're just two guys playing a gimick on the net.

People should come here, do a account and if they don't like them just ignore, we have five sub-forum to people post and talk.

Even Hogan fans should be welcome here.
If they admit that Triple H is far better.
