Please no more dangling carrot threads. I don't find them funny or entertaining. They are irritating. They remind me of a child screaming out to be the center of attention, or Donkey at the beginning of the Shrek DVD screaming "pick me pick me". Honestly if you really need to be the center of attention go buy a bunch of AG an post as a find.

I am not the posting police I am just asking for a request. Again, ASKING, not demanding.

Thank you I will now step off my soapbox. Good night

I find this post... disturbing. The message relates to the title of the thread. It is clear and concise. It is polite. It is not accusing anyone of anything. It does not single anyone out for ridicule. No complaints about "newbies". It is not an attack on the forum or the mods.

Are you sure you posted in the right forum???

Rushfan... enduring a 6 box skunk streak ... HH!

Take it easy, The guy was obviously excited to see 90%ers ontop of his bag...

God forbid he didnt have a spy phone handy to upload pics...

If there is a little paperclip next to a post, that means it includes pictures.. if you dont want to read content, just make sure there is a paperclip before you click on a post

My 2 cents worth...

I have noticed 2 types of threaders lately on the CRH forum:

1) People who like to post finds, offer tips/advice on CRH, say nice things to other members, and... sometimes dangle a carrot when they get a little excited about walking into a bank and kicking the bank's @ss for several hundred dollars. Then, there's the other threads posted by...
2) People who like to pick fights, criticize others' posts, bicker and b@tch about everything.

Type 1 I get - this is a forum where people post things and bounce ideas off each other.
Type 2 I don't quite get - and I won't even want to throw a reason out there.

If I wanted the drama, I would go on Facebook. If you are a poster of the Type 2 variety, do us all a favor and go b@tch on Facebook.

Calm down folks, I have not cursed at anybody. I used caps only once and that was to emphasis the fact this entire thread was a request. Only a request. I thought long and hard before I started the thread out of fear I would be attacked. I guess I should have known better.

In case you haven't noticed, the forum has become overrun with children. I'd bet that 90% of the active posters are under 21.

I'm pretty sure that's true. I'm 13, and I know many are like 16, 17, 18, etc.

Sag, you're only 13?? Really fooled me. I pegged ya far more mature then most of the 13 year olds I know. and I absolutely love this thread so far. all the niceness is truely humbling and refreshing over the backstabbing, snarling, clawing, OOPS! Sorry channeling my inner wolf. Bad wolf! no prime rib or hamburger for you.

LOL (J/K) I really do like this thread so far. Definitely a reminder to what this forum could be like.

Hugs!

Tim's right. It's nice to have a bunch of people that can relate to the success and frustrations of CRH. Really I don't mind the dangling carrot especially if you deliver.
