That's it I have had enough, I am leaving this forum....

I have had enough of the .co.uk articles posting US prices, the mass of 1 post spammers (that we are getting since BoM took over), The buggy Forum, and most of all the really unhelpful replies the majority seem to be posting these days, the 2 day old news, the new forum sections for cars(wtf, its a tech site!) and then there's also the flash games.

Most of the really helpful peeps that knew what they were talking about have left now, I wouldn't feel safe asking a simple question here any more.

goodbye im sure ill see you all around.

Just clocked these "Beyond The Keyboard" sub-forums. Is this the revolutionary new BoM site relaunch we were told to expect when Toms Games got hacked to pieces?

Reply to pr2thej

They'll be shifting games to the software section completely soon apparently.

They are serioulsy away to kill this place off, trust me on this.

Everything in thet beyond the keyboard section can be posted here, just because people choose not to is not our fault

Flakes, you know that if you have a serious question and are willing to bend over you can probably get a better answer from the other jilted techies down here.

It is dissapointing that Toms moved out of Moms basement and is not on its way to bending over for The Man, but so many sites have done similar.

I don't know if any other can be recommended, but hopefully there will be enough disenfranchised techies here t obe able to form the next home-cooked tech site that has more than 2 articles a month (Sharkey Extreme is OK, but updated about as often as I wipe my own arse).

Before you go, write in and complain. But just rememebr to be specific and tell them what you liked, what you miss, and what you want more of besides Wingies Blue Reels.

Yea NH, ive always known i could get an answer down here if i wanted one....

ill miss the place, but i havnt quite decided on a replacement, i could always start my own up i already pay 120pound a month for a server in london with 100MBit up and down...

SS,

ill be deleting my account in a couple of days, so ill hang around for a day or so, but i dont see myself coming back really.

Tom,

Some change is good, unfortunately BOM changes broke most of the site and were generally badly informed decisions. (my bad spelling/grammar will be something that never changes though!)

If you set up your own site, I'll be a visitor for sure. Providing whatever authoring tool you use has decent templates! I've seen sites done by you remember.;)

Reply to Tom_Smart

lol, unfortunately my authoring tool is Scite (http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html) im no designer, just a programmer, and im not afraid to admit that lol.

Reply to Flakes

Yeah whatever, just fcuk off already. Stop hanging around like a rat in a humane trap.;)

Reply to Tom_Smart

How's this for a theme..."Breasts and Bytes"
Something to think about while you are in the wilderness Flakes.

Reply to pr2thej

if you set one up make sure you get it posted here...

Reply to mrface

And come back and spam it every day.

Reply to Tom_Smart

Reply to BigMac

I just know you guys aren't referring to me?? Had I been from.... ummmm.... let's see.... France then you could hint in that direction.

Reply to Vokofpolisiekar

Ok, ive figured that Twitter isnt for me and after battering my head against a wall a few times the blood splatter gave me an idea....

im gonna start a phpbb forum with the above design for the welcome page, and a warning before entering the forum.... what do you think?

------------------------------ :(
Reply to Flakes

can i just say one other thing, i did that at work on my laptop which has the worst colour reproduction of any i have ever seen, so i might end up editing the colours a little bit once i see it on my real monitor at home.

------------------------------ :(
Reply to Flakes

Twitter is an add-on, extra. It's not a forum replacement, that's for sure.

Why not start a poll here, to see if there is an interested audience for your idea?

Reply to BigMac

What did I tell you about templates?

Three possible answers:
a.) Yes
b.) No
c.) Who and how do I pay the $500,000.00 subscription fee?

Reply to Vokofpolisiekar

Option C is obviously a Wingy-only selection.

shapeless and faceless - Yet I have a name,
I shall tighten my grip on your now flawed creation,
endeavour to show you the meaning of pain.'

Tom I made that from scratch(i kno you dont like my layouts), if i were to start a forum i would make the old forum admin's, admin again.... lets start a poll :)

Nice to note that the Florentine Flamingo hasn't lost his catch-phrase.
