should I stay?

[bigbenwd]

do you all want me to stay in this forum or do you want me to just leave, cuz if you want me to, I'll just go and get replacements for my games

[MeMe]

Ben - I told a few people a couple of weeks ago that you've just really grown on me. When you first showed up here, I was rolling my eyes daily -- but you've calmed down and you're a genuinely likable fellow. I'm actually pretty amazed that with all the knocks you've taken since you've been here, you've shown that you're thick-skinned enough to take it while retaining your sense of humor. That's an impressive show of fortitude that I think few of us have.

I would advise you, however, to be attentive. When you've been told by 20 people to stop bumping a thread, heed them. No one's actively

looking

for things to be pissed about (well...

almost

no one ) so when there's several in agreement about something they find annoying, just think twice if you're the one causing it.

Basically -- if we have to have a site spammer, I'm glad it's someone as easy-going as you are!

[bigbenwd]

Thanks meme, I'm glad you think like that.

[Vraak X]

I said yes, leave for the sake of solidarity . Then I realized this wasn't UT and you can't change your vote, so don't take it as a real vote..

Since I know you from UT, it's not as bad.. Spam heaven, UTLA is..

[Dragon Phoenix]

Stay, but indeed listen to the reactions you get and learn from them.

[Talitha]

I agree with what the others have said. Stay, we like you. And we'll like you even more if the unnecessary posts are reduced!

[Phoebus]

I concur with Talitha.

I've played a few games with you and you come across as reasonably sane and sober there.
It would be nice if that part of you rubbed off on the other forums too...

Sure, talk..have your say...but responding to each and every post with one liners or repeating something that has already been said and giving responses where there is a general consensus or final decision and no more are necessary...these things bug me personally.

Think about it while you stick around...

[bigbenwd]

Spam heaven, UTLA is..

Amen to that

and I'm glad you all want me to stay

I'm actually pretty amazed that with all the knocks you've taken since you've been here, you've shown that you're thick-skinned enough to take it while retaining your sense of humor.

Agreed. Every time someone makes a nasty remark, you earn a couple of extra respect points in my book by never shoving it back in their face, never being insulting, and never letting it interfere with a game. It's fairly clear that some people would have you leave the site (even some voted for it above), but I'd much rather they leave than you do.

But, of course, ditto everyone else. Don't post just for the sake of posting, and put actual effort into mafia games, rather than just moving with the tide.

You notice though, that the one person who really does want bigben to leave doesn't have the guts to show his face in here.

How to approach this...I don't really have a problem with bigben's alleged spamming because his motives seem pure. It's not like he's

trying

to annoy people and get on their nerves. If some people are annoyed, what are you gonna do?

[Cadmium]

What's this, ben? Two days ago you were talking about how great this site is and now you want to leave because someone might not want you here?

If you like it here, you have all the right to stay. Since you first joined, you've changed a lot (for the better) and I wouldn't like to see you leave now.

[edit]Aha, now I get it. It's because of what happened in the title thread, right?[/edit]

[mathcam]

That's my guess.

Uhh, one of those votes were mine.. and that was a sham vot!! I thought we could change over votes but I found out we couldn't .. I put up with BBW in Utopia Temple, and he's no big deal, the posts over there have conditioned me to get used to the number of spam here.

[Dragon Slayer]

Agrees with Cadmium and MeMe. Just cool it a little with pointless threads. You don't do it as often, at least- that's a good thing.

[bigbenwd]

I do like it here, it's great, but whats the point of belonging to a forum where more people dont likee you then like you, so i decided to make this poss
(and it was in the title thread and a few other things too.)

[Wacky]

I like your spam. I like all the posts that bash your spam (they're occasionally hilarious too.)

[Dragon Slayer]

I like your spam.

I wish I could delete that post...

[bigbenwd]

I bet you do
do any of you ever get the feeling sometimes that you just want to have administrative powers, if only for 10 minutes, just to see what it's like? I think that would be awesome. I dunno why, I just like wanna e an admin account, but not really do anything on it, just have it, you know? that'd be fun.

[korais666]

You're a good scapegoat because people can yell at you and you just sit there. C'mon, get more pissed at us!

And plus, if you were actually annoying people to the point that they wanted you to leave, they would've PMed Mith or something. It would have to be a pretty drastic case, though. In general, if someone's annoying, they get yelled at, then they calm down.

[bloojay]

Ben, you're cool. We cannot deny that.
You're like a little brother. Most of the time, you can be pretty cool. But sometimes, you just annoy the HELL out of us! But hey! That's life!

[Macros]

i'll not lie, at some points i was itching to see you leave ben, but i've grown used to seeing your ranom lol's everyhwere, and i apologise for my outburst in chat the other day.
you stay commited to the games you play in, and post actively in them, and i have nothing but respect for that, just , tone down the spam occassionally

[Stewie]

I rather have you stay, but the answer to the question "Should I stay" is "It's up to you." Do you wanna stay? Nobody is going to kick you in the ass and keep you away from here

[Gaspode]

I agree with pretty much everything MeMe said. And I apologize for any nasty comments I've directed toward you. I was not in a very good mood on the day when I basically filled every thread you had made or spammed with mean jokes and comments, and I didn't realize until the next day what a jerk I had been.

[mlaker]

I never nastily commented you. *Feels special* And we wouldn't want you to leave.
1.You have to be my replacement on Calvin & Hobbes.
2.And, yeah your O.K.

[bigbenwd]

thanks, and to everyone who feels bad, it's ok, sometimes people need to yell at other people.
