[The Shift]

Such pure bullshit from someone who wasn't there. Jesus Christ, man, get off this GF and I were/are drinking buddies crapola and I'm somehow *favored*.

Sorry OSD, but it was Craig who dredged it back up, not I. Turn your venom on him.

I've just been browsing that forum out of curiosity and have seen some very suspicious characters that seem quite racist...

Not surprising. as the people you are referring to were the same way here, if we're thinking of the same folks.

Nice try, Mr. Big, but the only suspicious character I've seen over there is somebody with your screen name introducing "herself" and actually sounding polite and genuine.

You're not going to try to play one board against the other, I hope...

Yeah, I'm won't trying to play boards against each other, so many people on this thread had their opinions on the thread- I just happened to make a comment on what I saw, perhaps prematurely, but (because I discovered that forum on here). My comment unintentionally implied that many on that board were racist etc and that's not the case. Most are seemingly nice.

Not trying to speak for him, but I took it as people who were banned from *here* for things like that are registered over *there*.

As I said I'm really not trying to stir sh*t up, there was a political discussion and obviously everyone is going to have different opinions - I just saw something that was triggering and reminded me of things I heard from racists I knew before. I'm not a him or it, just a girl who chose a silly username (sex and the city character).  To be honest I regret making the first comment - that forum is generally quite friendly and nice and I shouldn't of said something like that. Associate/interact with forum members as you wish - don't let my comment effect you: As I said I'm not a sh*t stirrer, I enjoy the forum, and wrongly/presumptuously made a comment. Apologies if I caused offence or annoyance to anyone, I'm going to delete that comment.

I'm sure it's nice place generally, but don't you think it'd be nice if newbies just said "Hello, my name is... I've been BBs fan since... My brother (sister, parents) passed me their collection... I really appreciated it. Flash fwd, I'm at school (college, university). My tastes changed & I forgot the BBs... ...Then I went to my 1st BBs concert & got to meet backstage & chat for a bit with [name of the BB/Brian Wilson band member]. My favorite song is... Favorite album... Look forward to talking with other BBs fans "? They might say that at Smiley they were so-and-so, if they changed their username/avatar at PS. No bitterness to speak of, just usual friendly introduction.

Yes indeed. I rather think a topic title like "Why are you here?", although presumably well-meant, encourages some (but by no means all!) newcomers to slip in something negative.

As for me, I used to look in regularly at PSF but I find I'm spending less and less time browsing it (I believe that's called "moving on")...

I would say tbe way that thread title was phrased was deliberately calculated to generate negative answers about Smiley.

[Cam Mott]

Actually the title is very specifically asked of and directed to those who did NOT "migrate" from Smiley.

I think the thread title is simply a thread title, simple as that.  Had there been any negative intent behind it there would have been more to it.

Some posters are going to perceive it as an axe-grinding opportunity, and I guess that's just how some people are. I really don't believe that behavior is being encouraged over there.

Including you? Actually, everybody is right - who said the title is calculated & those who said it's posters.The OP knew some people were there from Smiley & would say sth., anything about it. But he isn't responsible for their say, they could've either shut up about Smiley or move on & get busy at new forum. Simple as that.

Meh.  Just the same old "waaaaahhhhhh, Smiley suxxx cos we can't say solo bryyyyyunnnn suxxxx" crap.

Did they really imply that we were sticking up for Rocky Pamplin? Hell, I'm the one who banned him!

No, they did not.

Looks to me like the two boards are well on the way to peacefully co-existing together.

I remember when I and others left the Capitol Board there was an element of grumbling for a while but it didn't last long. All a matter of time.

Actually, I have a topic devoted to PSF alongside one for Smiley at "my" other board where I occasionally share news or link interesting threads...

Joethomasisgod did.

I've been banned on Smiley Smile stating my dissatisfaction with No Pier Pressure, joking that Landy was better for Brian's career than Joe Thomas (musically, I stand by this) and insulting their best friend, the evil Rocky Pamplin.  Needless to say, their moderators are something of an intellectual sub-species.

Intellectual sub species? This guy can go f*** off and die. I wish I knew who it was, so I could point out exactly why he was banned, though.

[SMiLE Brian]

I swear it's that banned asshole Paul TMA. http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php?action=profile;u=1869
