T in the park

[Chiefski]

I think some are under the impression the forums are the be all and end all of this place, I was always under the impression it was to provide festival coverage, big and small, many of which wouldnt get coverage in the first place?

I'm with StevenHooper that if people want to continue to be annoyed about it, its less likely that the forum will come back. Will also be on both but really theres little better than this place, whether it be fansites (no offence to pinthe...), virtual... and I dont see the organiser reopening a forum themselves... so I'd hope the will be back in the future.

Totally off topic but in eFests sig cdwow! some of those prices are way too high.£17 for Hurt Locker on DVD

I wonder how many of you complaining would have paid money to keep people out of court?

As you've raised that, I'll use the opportunity to say that not one of the people involved in that incident felt I'd done them enough of a favour by stopping them being dragged thru the courts (which, I assure you, would have definitely happened) to send me even £1 as a way to express their thanks.

Quite why some people think I should bend over backwards for them AND take all this shite for such lack of thanks only gets to show what a bunch of low-lifes some of them are.

it's much less than 10%. Too small to notice in fact.

But I will notice far fewer twats, and less hassle. And that's priceless.

The twats gone.

[eFestivals]

You do realise that something similar could happen on the Reading, Leeds or Glastonbury forums.

It could, but - given the history of all the forums here - I think it far less likely.

Some of things people have said on this is just hilarious!

I am going to T in the Park, but the forum can wait until the MODERATOR feels it is necessary for it to return (good arse kissing or what! )

I've been a member/poster here for a number of years and Neil has done some dickish things in the past but has truly excelled himself with this one.

As Ive pointed out a number of times, he doesn't like the Scots much and this really doesn't surprise me. Well................it does...............

As you've just so eloquently pointed out .... you don't know shit, but you think you know it all.

Mummy's calling for you for your tea I think. You'd better run, else she'll be sending you to bed early.

Just grow up, eh?

[eFestivals]

Maybe its a lesson learned and next time instead of forking out let them have their medicine, then maybe this situatuion could have been avoided as more people would think before they post had people been in the courts before!

Oh, you can be 100000% sure of how I'll handle something similar next time. Throw 'em to the wolves. Food is all they're good for.

Quite surprised I'm not banned. Telling me to grow up....that's a classic!!

Your wish will be coming true if you don't suddenly grow some balls.

Must admit I'm slightly taken aback by the so called moderators responses, petty & childish spring to mind also I think there is deffo an anti scots vibe on the go because you can bet your nelly if the same "idiotic" posts were found on the glasto forum you wouldn't see that getting removed. As people have said theres idiots in all walks of life & now especially on the t'internet forums.......there wouldn't be any forums at all if we followed old neily boys 'moderation'......

[eFestivals]

Grow balls? Explain?

not being the sheep that you're being currently, in believing it's got to this because I'm wacko, and every T poster was the son of god.

"he's my friend, therefore he's perfect". I thought people left that behind when they left school.

Reading some of the posts in the T forums this year really makes me glad I don't go to T anymore.

Yep, a comment that's come my way an awful lot lately, and huge reason for why action is needed to turn things around.

Except of course these forums have been run following "old neily boys 'moderation'...... " for over ten years, and have become the most successful festival forums because of it.

Not everyone wants to use forums dominated by idiots - as many of the posts in this thread have made clear.

[Budweiser]

eFestivals, i have a question.

On the Reading and Glasto forums there was a poster called mike99 who after every post was greeted with a massive torrent of abuse, why werent they shut down?
