mikel Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I love a good laugh on here but some people, no names no pack drill, insist on turning threads into serious discussions. Its very wearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinnDave Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 [quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1503309204' post='3356997'] As above really there used to be some really funny people on the forum and you could always crack a joke but now some people seem so grumpy and just seem to want a row sign of the times? OK rant over lol [/quote] It's a long time since I've done any rowing but I do remember it as good exercise, though falling in the river could ruin your day.

Shawman Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I've been thinking this for a wee while too. I've only recently come back after a few years away and the vibe has definitely changed. Tend to mostly just browse now as a few recent posts/jokes have started tiresome arguments which I'm not interested in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see that the full-out £50 row could be beyond many BCer's pocket, but a little effort now and again would so help site funds. ...

seashell Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Yeah, I've pretty much given up trying to be funny on here any more. Been shot down by too many grumpy gits.

No one said anything. [/quote] Lack of visible response does not necessarily equal lack of appreciation. In this case however, Discreet had already visibly responded funnily to Steve Browning's funny remark - - and just three minutes after Steve posted it. Normally one doesn't indulge in everyone smiling at the same joke. BC would become impossible to read if we did. Then there's the dynamics (and timing!) of threads and what grabs our attention: Steve writes something funny. Everyone except Spoombung smiles and then reads on whilst being open to the possibility of posting appreciatingly. Discreet this time is Baking Pancakes of the Third Kind, and not reading BC. Somebody posts something that "requires" a response, and one indulges in writing that response instead of acknowledging Steve's funniness. Simples.
