  1. Hmm, noticing the thread is coming to a peaceful resolution, so trying to get the fighting starting again to get people posting? Banter, just banter.
  2. Chris, Chris, leave it, he's not worth it.
  3. I'm making no comments on this whatsoever, and that's not just to disprove the above theory. TBH I'm totally sick of the whole thing. Comments are made about other websites, it's a fact of life - as I have said before, if you're going to run a website/forum, you've got to accept that you're going to get criticism, no matter how much you don't like it. People don't like N-O - so what? People don't like Toontastic - so what?? Neither place will die as both will retain a core member base. As was said from the outset, Toontastic was never intended to be a competitor to Newcastle-Online, it was designed to offer the people who missed what they enjoyed about the original Toontastic/Toon-Chat the opportunity to enjoy it again. That included to some degree a cliquey-ness so I don't think that can be seen as a criticism of the site. I tend to look at it as 'job done'. Sure I'd like to see it a little bit busier but beggars can't be choosers. If one day it does die, I'll accept it and move on to something new - I've learned things out of doing it so I won't be slitting my wrists. It won't die though 58685[/snapback] Good post actually. But how do new members become part of the clique? At some point you surely must want to attract some new members? 58693[/snapback] You say that as though I don't normally make good posts! We do get new members, all the time and a fair few of them post - there's no membership to a clique. TBH, I'd say that I wasn't part of it and more on the periphery. Doesn't stop me posting though, nor does it make me feel like I shouldn't post but then again, I tend to rise above that kind of bullshit. 58697[/snapback] I've always wanted to be part of the clique. I tried desperately to fit in with different groups; first by joining the GRC, then by slating it. Now I don't think I fit in anywhere. I even dragged dotbum to this site, and he's more part of the clique than me Craig mate, we've got our own clique, and we don't need anyone else. 58703[/snapback] You two are the same person aren't you? 58705[/snapback] Talk about a gag that's been done to death.... 58708[/snapback] Sorry. Am I out the clique now? 58712[/snapback] So you got in it, but I didn't? 58713[/snapback] I know, standards dropping.

  6. I don't really care to be honest. I know within myself, that's not true and I'd hope people who knew me enough, wouldn't see it like that because I'm not like that. I stand by all my comments and if you or anyone misreads them or misniterprets them as me wishing ill on this place, fair enough. I won't lie, I was mighty pissed off over the 'split' but more with myself for letting it happen and to be truthful, despite how gutted I was at first, it's been a blessing in disguise (and that's not a dig at this place or anyone), it's made me change how I view N.O - for the better in my opinion. I'm a Newcastle fan first and foremost, I have always preached from day one the importance of having many sites, many forums for NUFC fans to be able to use. Why do you think I was against any criticism of Nufc.com on N.O or other Toon sites? There has never been any criticism of this place on our forum either, not once. I certainly wouldn't be happy with that. Anyway, think what you like. You're wrong. 58664[/snapback] The point is though, (and the key difference) is that if there was criticism of this site on your site, I honestly couldnt give a monkeys toss! That's because I would see it as utterly fucking irrelevant to any problems with the current toontastic format. Despite what you say HTT, it's obvious to most (be it by your words or your tone, but certainly in a clear pattern of behaviour) that you do wish this site every misfortune. And that really is sad. Fair do's like. 58674[/snapback] I don't see anywhere where he has wished this site misfortune. In fact, he's said many times (on here and N/O) that the more NUFC fansites there are around the better.
  7. Rob is in the Middle East for 10 days.
  8. That thread was great. Some people I can remember that are on it this year (theres a few I've forgotten): Jenny frost (Atomic Kitten) Sheree Murphy (Trisha off Emmerdale, possible eye candy) Carol Thatcher (aye, Maggie's daughter) Bollocks, can only remember three. All the others are totally unremarkable (well, even more so).
  9. You can turn it off by clicking on the black arrow next to the avatar.
  10. Anyone gonna watch this series? I remember how funny the thread about it was when it was Jordan and Peter Andre in it. One of the best threads on the old board that. Dunno many of the people in it this year, only eye candy is the lass who used to play Trisha in Emmerdale.
  11. I saw the Take That thing, Robbie came across as a total twat.
  12. I am totally addicted to Tetris. Cath, how the hell did you get that score?!
  13. Any copies if the uncensored video about? JOKE Are there?
  14. DanTheMan---> Aphrodite----> DanTheMan Was a sweet and harmonious change.
  15. Looks bollocks to me. (No pun intended) I doubt any news source would use 'small penis' in an article. I stand to be corrected though.
  16. SHITE! I went to the Union Rooms and there was nee fucker there. Who was there in the end?
  17. Making no promises mate. But it would be nice to be there.
  18. I have this problem every home game. you see, I've been to every home game this season so far bar Sunderland, and I've always planned to come along to a piss up. The problem is I go up every week with a group of people my age, and I've never plucked up the courage to say 'Can I go and spend a few hours with my internet mates in this pub? I'll meet you at the stadium'. I pass the Union Rooms every time, so one day I'll come in.
  19. I feel I must stick up for Charlotte. I reguarly viewed the old Toontastic when I was 13/14 and it never did me any harm at all.
  20. I hate how we always have to do this. What is the point? Surely it'd be better for crime, transport and safety if we DIDN'T put our clocks back and had longer evenings.
