| Re: Altnation Awards - Deleted The awards is meant to be banter. There was an atmosphere pointed nastiness about this one.
I'll admit to having had a guilty laugh at some of the comments on the leaked results, but there was plenty potential for people to actually be hurt here and some private personal details getting thrown about that even Donald Findlay QC couldn't explain away as banter.

Heck even sex has been shite at times doesn't mean I'm going to give up on it  . | Ehh, I hope you were speaking generally there... but as you quoted me I’ll assume you’re mainly speaking to meh, in response to my post. To be honest, Forbes, I can only think of 1 person (ONE!) who I’ve met via the forum, or thereabouts. And even that was a terrible disappointment (  ). Anyone I’ve known or met who happens to have a forum account, has been through randomly bumping in to them when I’ve been out and about, FIRST OF ALL; by chatting randomly to new people you meet and stumble upon when you’re out “IRL”~! And/or through friends, or indeed, friends of friends who know them too. It just so happens that many of these people, whether I consider a few of them my bum-chums, or not, I didn’t personally meet because of ‘the forum’.
I won’t slag it too much, as I know what you say is true. As in, it applies to a lot of people – many have met some who they considered to be “cool new folk” and/or shiters, directly through the forum. But I’m not one of them, and personally, I’ve always found “making friends on the internet” really fucking weird, kind of sad and fucked up; and generally not a very healthy way to approach things. Always have, and still do tbh. It's actually cringe-worthy to witness, never mind being associated with in any (accidental) way
Anyway, sorry, I went on a bit of a tangent there, but it seemed relevant to what you seemed to be saying (in response to me?). Plus, I've not slept in like, forever; so probably stopped making any kind of half coherent sense about 29 hours ago!
And I was only kiddin’ – I know you would never end this place. You’d be responsible for too many of the addicts suddenly going in to withdrawal and, y’know, getting a life or something...!

Tell a lie actually, I just thought of another one. But they're no what I'd consider a "pal" either. Just someone you're briefly polite to whenever you bump in to them.
Other than they two, I'm genuinely struggling, here.

| Re: Altnation Awards - Deleted I blame Forbes and Barry for starting AN @ Bamboo. Once we all had a way to meet IRL it was quite clear there was going to be huge personal divides like this.
Seriously, I'm only kidding guys. It was starting up the nights at the Classic Grand that did it.
