What an excellent way for the Webmaster to behave, berrating the users. If you don't like the comments, remove them, or email me about my comments and we'll keep it offline if you wish. I doubt you'd do that, takes up too much time, you have no desrire to argue, blah, blah, blah.

 

Shaun mate, take a leaf out of SDB's book and calm down

 

Niether do you

 

Thats how David's post made me feel Shaun...sorry if you don't approve. Nice smooth way of avoiding the question though.

 

Hi Hoppy

Anytime

I'm a mutt . All my mothers side is in the UK and father's side is from the US. I hate George Bush, despise Bovril, can't give blood here in the states because I spent too much time in the UK during the 80's (Mad Cows's Disease hahah) and wish you guys would send me some Flake because i'm all out

Zoints is global too For example, we have forums dedicated to the UK (Britboards.com), forums in Spanish (asia-talk.com and no, I don't understand that either hahah).

I agree wholeheartedly. We'll be working hard to ensure that's the kind of people we send your way

Thanks for your feedback and discourse Richard, I appreciate it.

 

I think you'll find its the other way round these days

 

It should of been called ZOINK'S....(keep it in line with the SCOOBYnet theme)now where's Shaggy.

 

For anyone who is interested, here is a little poll

 

Markus,

Smoke and mirrors you can use all you like.... the facts remain the same regarding the fact that YOU constantly berate us, so don't go spitting your dummy when YOU get singled out back.

Anyway.....

back on topic.

Regards,
Shaun.

 

ask shaun to make it a sticky

 

Ive been asking you to do that for months Shaun!

 

good luck waiting for an answer.

 

Yes, back on topic...

Zoints, it's not a feature that I feel SN needs, and I think Richard and others have summed it up very well indeed.

 

I think it's just been stuck in the bin actually - poll no longer exists!

 

Ditto. There's nothing like American style sales bollox for the brainless to raise the hackles (and bile).

Shaun/webby/god whatever you prefer

Back own rod your for - rearrange

Ok so it's a minor thing that people can switch off if they don’t like it, but why develop your product without testing it on your market first?

Did you not know that Scoobynet has forums where people can post ideas and get opinions?

Bottom line – Zoints enables you to lever in more advertising revenue. That’s fine, just try selling the benefits to your customers first.

 

The one in General does not, but the one in NSR is still there, and I've updated the link to point to it.

 

Hi brumdaisy,

I apologize for it coming across that way. I must say, that's been one of the most difficult aspects of Zoints. As alike as we all are, our cultures and norms certainly differ.

 

Apology appreciated - but surely if you are truly global such basic cultural barriers are easy to overcome? Just a thought.....

My other points still stand - I assume webby has gone down the pub

 

I wish cultural barriers were easy to overcome, the world would be a bit more peaceful if they were That's one of the neat things about forums though, they're borderless. My hope is that over time these borderless communities allow for our different cultures to slowly come to understand one another. I look forward to the day that a company finally comes out with GOOD translation software that offers realtime, quality text translation. When that happens, then things will really get exciting

 

I'd stop now if I was you - I think you're digging a hole for yourself

 

I'm amazed how some things 'bother' some people, I really am.

You really need something tragic to put your pathetic thoughts in to perspective.

Development needs to be explored on all websites as and when it becomes available, surely? If it turns out to be a mistake and the site is flooded with undesirables then I'm sure it can be reviewed.

Good luck to ScoobyNet and Zoints I say because it doesn't prevent me from functioning.

Anybody still crying over the Google adverts or is that forgotten now?

 

thanks for that never seen that page before

not my cup of tea the zoints thing, but good luck with it anyway

 

Totally agree mate - some of the replies on here have been pathetic, FFS some people should just chill a bit.

Thing is you have a choice, you can switch it off, why are people so scared of trying anything new, it really is beyond me. and so what if the guy is American, there are members on here who are from other countries. He wont steal our oil y'know - why the anti American ranting

Also so what if Scoobynet is making a few quid out of it - at the end of the day its a business, that needs to make money to stay operational.

I'd say give it a try - if it doesn't work then fair enough.

I'm not saying that it is my cup of tea but at least give it a whirl - if it f**ks up then you can 'well i told you so' to acertain Mr Fennings. but i'm sure he has thought things through - even if he is making a few quid out of it.

There is a world outside Scoobynet, even for someone like me who is always on it

Take care of yourselves guys and each other

 

Right, you might want to sit down for this...

1) British people are cynical and don't fall for feel-good 'we are all god's children on the internet' motivational speeches. It makes our teeth itch.

2) Scoobynet may look good on the books, biggest Zoint affiliated board by membership etc... but I'm afraid a good proportion of those members chipped off years ago when the current administration took over, a sizeable proportion followed them just AFTER the current administration took over... and the rest of the usernames are mainly me.

3) If I see words such as 'love', 'peace', 'harmony'..... oh and and 'neat' mentioned in this context again I am going to have a **** fit. Is this understood?

Apart from that.... 'awesome, dude!'

 

that can't be the real Sociopath
Far too polite

 

/me switching this zoints bull**** off now!!!

is this scoobynet or fooken faceparty ??

 

Totally agree, zoints being switched off now

 

What the hell has got into everyone??

Why are people getting so sh1tty about this? What difference is it going to make to your lives, if you don't use it?

Some of the stuff on this thread I find really distasteful, if the things that had been said about Americans had been said about somebody from Asia or Africa or somebody of any religous persuasion, I can only imagine the outcry.

Finally why all the abuse of Webby, he always been really resonable, especially given some of the provocation he gets, not to mention helpful and knowledgeable.

I think some people should step away from the PC's for 10 minutes and go outside into the real world and think about why they get so upset.

Flame suit on.... and ready for abuse!

 

Zoint off!

 

ZOINTS!!!!!!!!!
