Not at all But you just gave your whole agenda away.

Ahaaaa ... so it isn't about motm. It was always about me then?

Mister contradiction. You are everything BUT constructive. That's why I say you are thick. You are using all you get to get a fight going. Don't burn your newly formed pubes trying.

Are you really that thick? It was a one time thing. We tried to give a message. Mister controversial, you have just become one of the most conservative guys on here. Congratulations. Now get fat and drive a Buick.

Yes. I have asked numerous times if it as too much actually. I asked the mods, the admins, the people from the pub, etc. Plus: I try to keep it to the pub as well - with a few exceptions. As i said four times already - get a fucking poll on it then. Really. And if it bothered you so much kid, why haven't you said something before.

If I am dead, dead, dead serious: I love it because it simply cracks me up. I can have - like last time we did that naked Thor stunt - an afternoon of just laughing until it hurts. It created a bond between members as well in the pub, like it or not. It is part of general internet culture now, like it or not. The statement that it is to get reps - pffffft I don't care, really and I don't think that it is true as a motivational driver. In my case it is something I like in itself (i downloaded the internet, some say on here, lol) If I would care so much about reps I wouldn't start arguments about ethical themes that are controversial, I wouldn't defend Hazard like i did in the beginning of the year, I wouldn't go into the clinch about Mata with some members and I sure as hell wouldn't defend our young prospects these last few months- This because I truly stand for what I believe in - even if it is contrary to the popular opinion on here - and even if it gets me hate (which it did by the way - much more than those silly reps). So what is it about: Chelsea, fun, being part of a community. If this board would be just about football discussions, it would never, EVER have had success like it has now. And if it was a forum with the fighting and eternal same shit posting like we had in the off-seson without a breath of fresh air and some humor, it would have been really sour. Hell, the conservatives who liked it better before the gifs and stuff might want to check on their history because stuff like that is even why books were embellished since ages ago. Ps: Francozola, I am in no way targetting you I might say. It is just that since I might be seen as the 'voice' of the meme posters -I can have my say in this as well.

So has this forum the last year! Or so I heard

Yes, some egonormous, egotesticals e-peens really.

Belgian NT doctor says Hazard will start training again with Chelsea tomorrow. Good news !

I hope he gets a good run at Everton and builds up confidence and improves his weaker areas. For now, I cannot blame Wilmots to choose Benteke over him, really.

Ow my! The sin, the horror!

There is a version without that blue star you know ............ I edited that star on there :-)

If you want uptight : http://forum.talkchelsea.net/topic/16756-motm/

Exactly ... off season just does that. And it will sort itself out as well. ow ps: anyone notice this isn't about the motm.

You are a spindoctor with a degree in spinning. Can I just add that the stop-the-abuse action we thought would be fun to do and that we did a couple of days ago, had absolutely nothing to do with you or Kojo, or Term or any of the old gang really. It was an attempt to address the ongoing hostility and intolerance on here. Even something the admins tend to put forth for a while. It says a lot that some of you THINK it was about you. If the shoe fits , .... As an illustration I will quote the by now infamous pub - the sewer of TC - on the 24 hours of gifs: So ... Plz enlighten me why you and others keep referring to the pub (or the gifs) if for example Kojo said it has nothing to do with the pub in the first place. Or why do you start with: if you don't like it, don't go there and then to then continue trying to put everyone against the use of gifs? As I said, put up a poll and make it democratic. I have no quarrel with that and wil even refrain from posting EVEN ONE gif if the community thinks thats the way to go. It is not because a couple of people cry loud, that it means the community thinks the same Also: And that is not condescending and illustrative of a superiority complex? I thought you didn't care what happened in the pub here? You have an agenda . I know you are a Jezus worshipper which is alright with me, but apparently you share the urge for inquisitions like some of his acolytes. You got La Malcontenta on your bandwagon. Have fun with that! On another not: when I first came here, people said it was better before. Cap was gone and dearly missed. Later, every once in a while the same story came back like it always does. even my grandmother says it was better in the old days. Change and evolution is the way of the world, also on forums. But I can understand some conservatives rather have it all like it was years ago.

If I add the insult you once slinged at me or that whole thread that illustrated with quotes how abusive you are and got away with it, the only one being childish here is you. And without humour. Sad old man.

this, everything, but especially the bold. Just like in high school - and I wonder how much that influenced on this award existing in the first place - it comes down to popularity. Guys like Peace. don't feel the need to be popular and consequently isn't the kind of profile that will make it to the poll or win it. It's been quantity over quality as you suggested in your previous post. The Skipper is a guy who has both things imo. But I guess their main point here is that not only contributions about football should be taken into consideration. I think the staff should take it a little bit more seriously when many different people are complaining about how things are here right now and where they're heading and stop to think just for a little bit why is that. You're not the 1st, 2nd, 5th or maybe not even the 10th member I read complaining how things changed around here (in the last 3 weeks or so). Some quantified it saying the change happened about 1 or 1-1/2 year from now (I can't say because I'm here only for 3 months). More often than not those people complain about quality. I guess it's obvious what's happening and it seems it'll only get worse. But hey, at least it will be fun, right? The thing is I've never seen anyone saying the 'old days' here used to be boring or lacked fun. It's just a new trend that invaded it here and it seems like now it's supposed to be 'fun' (I can think of another word that would be more appropriate) more than it's supposed to be about Chelsea. It affected even the football discussions... I understand that the club became global in the last few years and that there are a lot of new football fans all around the world and it also has an influence, but I think it's the vision that is changing. At some point people won't bother to complain anymore and will leave. And then the least relevant thing - or among the less relevant things - might be football - which is a shame and also sad as this still is the best place to talk about Chelsea among the other CFC forums I know. And then the people like you who complained based in the past - or me who complains based on what it is now without a reference of how it used to be, but enough to know things are weird - are labeled many things. but I've never exchanged a PM with you or with any of the guys I've seen complaining about the same thing (Amels just had the same complaint a few posts after yours). We aren't a secret club targeting a certain group. It's happening for everyone to see, but then we're moaners, the anti-fun committee, the pretentious or whatever else I've read around (can't remember), but it's odd to see a place named Talk Chelsea reinforcing some of things being reinforced here lately. But nobody stops to think that people from different ages, from different countries, who joined the forums on different times are all complaining about quality... It seems people just roll their eyes and think 'there come the moaners' (or whatever), but won't stop to think the moaners are growing and they might as well as leave at some point... Also people shouldn't confuse fun with silliness and childish behavior. Though those three things may be easy to be mixed, they are not the same. and I see more of the last two than the first here... But you make a complain about the environment here and 10 people come saying you're whatever they want to think you are and don't even stop to think if your complaint makes sense in the first place... Also most people don't care about this poll. There are about 150 registered members (statistically speaking it's probably much more - just compare the amount of votes in the Man of the match) coming here every day and this poll has about 30 votes, sometimes 40 votes (like this month that was nearly 50 I guess). This is how much people care about an award that only exists in TC (at least I've never seen something similar in the many tennis, movies, literature, TV shows, Chelsea and football forums I've been part throughout the years). And before a word is said about 'this kind of post' I'm not here supposing I own the truth or that I'm better than someone else or whatever... it's just that people seem to overlook the many complaints in different threads and boards that are slowly spreading throughout the forum. I can't say for someone else, but I'm not against fun - and even some mild silliness (I'm the queen of silly, it would be contradictory to say I hate silliness when I'm a silly person). But Talk Chelsea is changing and I wonder if there will be a breaking point where it'll be less to talk about Chelsea in a realistic and thoughtful way than it'll be about something else... /rant edit: only after I posted I realized this thread already had two pages. So many quality posts here by zolayes, DDA, Amels, Term X. So yeah, it seems a lot of us still want to talk Chelsea mostly here... And one thing about the quantity... as I said The Skipper posts quite often and it isn't too much - sometimes I even want him to post more. (he isn't a babbler like me, although I really posted too much during my first month, getting used to the forum, getting to know people, etc... [it was a shameful amount of 1200 posts in one month and then 1100 split in the next two - and if things continue as they are, it'll be less and less]). So the quantity someone posts isn't a problem, it's what it's in those posts regardless if they're 70/day or 7/day. If TorontoChelsea, The Skipper, bir_c (I guess I misspelled it), Peace., DDA among others decide to post 100 posts a day I'll happily read them all. Sometimes I even re-read their posts and I've learned so much about football in those three months with you guys, for real. As I said: put up a poll. And stop moping, even if it is for free.

Well ok. Take it back then. You can have it.Let us see how you did it, maestros :-) i dare you Term, Kojo, DDA, Zola, Torontochelsea and everyone else. Let's switch roles. Take that initiative and let it rip. I am glad I can learn. I will gladly refrain from posting and watch you guys.

It is not supposed to make much sense. You know what i mean! Ps just check te motm thread. Its about the pub again .....

It was a very serious question DDA, mate. I love the serious debate as well ..... You must know that considering you explicitly said I deserved the last motm, remember? I do get a bit worried, though. Most of he gifs stay in the pub area. But hey ... If people want hem out, i will be the first to quit! But then let us have a poll on it? Ps: you say the repetitive moving posts, but my god there has been repetitive bad quality serial writing on here a well. Maybe that just comes with numbers, mate?

Yes! She sure knows how to put it!

It is a spelling mistake :-) http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=fucktart The motm they enter is this one: http://www.darwinawards.com/

I do think it is interesting ....why are people that are on here for longer than 1 year so absent in what happens now? Do they no longer care?

Naaaaaaah. You are all good, mate.
