Who are you referring to, sceadugenga?

I like having the full width of my browser back to be honest. The ad post is easy enough to ignore - just flick the mouse wheel.

Agreed.

Another suckhole with moderating ambitions, the scene is now set for CrowBoy. :o

How do you justify a post like that? I am not upset by it but curious why you would think agreeing with something done by the Admin group is suspect behaviour on my part.

take it to PM if you feel that you need to vent your spleen

CB

Whoa Crow Boy; Calm down.

I normally find sceadugenga to be a kind and sensible poster, although I must admit that I am not sure that I understand this particular post. My guess is that there is just a misunderstanding here guys! :D

Hi UG - not upest at all but I wanted to understand why both AussieThaied and I were on the end of that post from Scoobiedoodah.

You are correct Sceadugenda is normally a nice guy and I like him but I just want to know if there is something causing a problem or if it was a missread of him just having a dig.

Thanks for your post calling for calm

CB

I do kind of wonder why he isn't bothering to comment further on this though. :o

We have all done that - well not November Rain, MiG16, or Suegha but for the rest of us, yeah we let fly and occassionally need a "you ok or what" reminder.

Could be a result of his football team - we come from the same city in Oz and support opposing teams so we give a fair bit of stick to the other. I have seen him in CM forum so he is ok but he has ducked out of Bedlam. I'll send him a PM and see if he is ok. Else start up a "has anyone seen or heard from Scoobydoobydoodah recently?"

You'd think a Port supporter would be used to embarrassment. :o

nah, we;re all suckheads here.

"Suckhole" was the phrase, actually. :D

I'm sorry! Must have still had the image of your shortlived olympic avatar on my mind

(which I just had to send to all me mates! :D )

Sincere apologies to all, just a late at night off the cuff remark, after a few beers, that fell flat. Sometimes my attempts at wit can be catastrophic and this was one of them.

I'd actually forgotten the post completely and when I got a PM from CrowBoy racked my brains...and I use the term loosely here, for several days trying to think what I'd posted.

Certainly no spleen intended, just a tongue in cheek jibe that in reflection was offensive and in poor taste.

Should I come to the TV BBQ I will kiss Austhaid and CrowBoy in abject apology. (My Mrs says my beard and mustache tickle so I'll keep the kisses above the waist.)

No worries scooobiedoodah - good to see you back. We all (me frequently) make a post that without the additional non verbal clues the receiver isn't sure how to interpret. I remember a recent "broahah" here in Bedlam re "the MODS" and VIC put up a reply to mine that was along the lines "get real ya boofhead" - I looked at it and what I had written and realised I had gone WAAAAAy over the mark of acceptable behaviour. In a pub someone would have said the same as Vic and the situation solved here there is a delay and with multiple nationalities involved things can get weird. My point was if I had done something to piss you off. My skin is way too thick to let almost anything upset me but your post gave me cause to wonder <deleted>?

Above the waist - dammit I thought I was on for a good time on the 18th of August. Was going to wear a new party frock and everything specially for the night. Oh well there's always AussieThaied (aka muffdiver). Please come to CM for the party - it will be huge. That invite is to all the Bedlam crew - we are having a party in Chiang Mai on 18 August (although we may be forced to change that date due to possible electoral considerations) The thread to the bbq is For a good time call CB

I dislike the current setup for 2 reasons:

It looks like a poster with a reply-button (doesn't make sense now, does it?) and it's somewhat sloppy done with the ad-space being almost twice as high as the ad itself - leaving dead white-space.

Well said, and thanks for bringing the thread back on topic.

Of course, at least we don't have poster sponsor as a member of Bedlam.

Yes we do, he just doesn't say much.

Love you too! :D

As many of you have noticed, TV is trailing a new way of displaying Ads on the site.

As it is now, the ad banners on the right side of the screen are gone.

How ever, every time a new topic is started, an Ad will appear as the 2nd post in the topic.

If the topic goes to 2 pages, an Ad will appear as the 2nd post on the second page (and third page and so on).

(Of course, you can comment in this thread as well !) :o

It would appear that the experiment has concluded and things returned to as was before. I can't help but think that a lot of the problem is that you guys don't like change. I strongly suspect that if the ads had always been postioned as being the second post and George made an experiment of putting them on the Right Hand side of the screen we would have had the comments - "it takes up to much room on the side and I end up with a narrow view of the text".

Be that as it may - we are back to normal, medication has been administered, and what passes for normality has been restored

Genuine question, (genuine answers not expected) why is it in Bedlam we get the Asiafriendfinder banner ad with all the trashy pictures on it?

It show's what mentality we are thought to have, due to the ads being targeted at us. Personally I think AFF makes TV look bad considering the rest of the advertisers are more or less quality sponsors. Are the barely masked hooker ads making that much?

Personally I think AFF makes TV look bad

Agreed.

Personally I don't like Thai Love Links either. My Mrs looks over my shoulder and wonders if I'm posting on some Thai hooker chat site.

I know they have to finance the show, but with the strict rules on not discussing ladies of the night.... Well it should cut both ways.

Install an add blocker program {or extension for Firefox} and your Mrs will not have to worry or hover as you type.

Seeing that the display of advertisements has reverted to the previous state I assume there should be no harm in closing this topic. I have an inkling that administration took the opinions voiced in this topic, and in other topics on this subject in other forums, into consideration when pondering that decision.

:o ...and thanks to all for their contributions :D
