Since i've joined here, this board has become very unconstructive and has ended up just like all the others boards online that talk about Thomas and Friends stuff.
All the threads here are just really non-constructive and half have been left, which is really a waste considering the amount of time and effort the bachman has made creating this new board since the old forums deletion. Really, there is no need for all these threads that seem to also duplicate already 'exisiting' thrads and topics.
It's because of this and because of a certain other 'Thomas Fan Forum' that i have sadly lost great interest in anything Thomas related, everything has been spoiled online, you can't even talk about Thomas with other members anymore without them having to refere to Sodor Island Forums and Fansite.
So i apologise to the bachman, but i think this forum needs to be cleaned of non-constructive posts and well, be made so that only he can create threads for things like the 'Thomas General Discussion' and all that stuff. Don't go flaming me for what i have said here though, cause if you look around, you will see that i am in some ways right!

I mean no offense to anyone but, due to the maturity of Thomas the Tank Engine, and many of his followers, the posting is at the same maturity level. It is Thomas the Tank engine which was intended for children 2-8 so I am just saying that the Maturity of the Posts is in the 2-8 age rate.
That is probably why you are turned off. You are tired of seeing posts of the low maturity level. Look into the General Discussion or HO forums, The Maturity there is far greater. You may find it more interesting than you previously had.
No offense meant to anyone.
I agree with Guilford Guy. If you want to discuss Thomas on a higher maturity level, I suggest you go here.
http://sodor.proboards77.com/index.cgi (http://sodor.proboards77.com/index.cgi) Not only do they have discussions on all things Thomas related, but also other things. They have been credited by Christopher Awdry (The son of the Late Rev. Wilbert Awdry) and also by Britt Allcroft (the lady who was responsible for bringing Thomas into the tv) I've been a member for quite a while now and we've had some quite grand things happen there. This year we celebrated our fifth anniversary and greater things will come soon.

Yes, as a part of Sodor Island Forums, I know of the maturity levels on that board. There are no youtube/bachmann noobs (or whatever you call them) on there.
Well here is what I think about this situation. There are some mature and older members on this forum such as myself who post onto this forum and other members like Michael, Guilford Guy, Jack, EdwardsDriver, etc. Whenever I see people like them post it usually doesn't leave me conserned or worried. I will admit some members on this forum really need to stop posting so many threads that lead to spam or arguements. I have been a member of this board for over two years now and I have seen how things have changed. Things have changed very dramatically for this board but I know that if everyone cooperates, and gets along, this forum can get better and a lot more mature. I have seen some members improve from what they have become in the past and I will also admit too it does take time, I am sure though hopefully things will change for this forum for the better. ;)
GG is right. People should not post random stuff like announcements. I personally think therre should be a POSTOPIA board.

Sodor Island Forums is not the best place online, it is because of them i have lost interest in Thomas. SiF is the biggest joke online, they think they are so popular for what they have done, but actually, they are nothing more than hipocritical dorks with no knowlege about Thomas whatsoever, so although they think they may know everything about Thomas and Friends, and also claim they are the best fansite, forum and redubbers in the online thomas world.
They are really nothing more than a bunch of pathetic individuals, which Thomas seems to have taken over their lives, which i find really sad of them.
QuoteThere are no youtube/bachmann noobs (or whatever you call them) on there.
Do NOT refere me as a noob, SiF is the last place i would ever want to be part of, and i am NOT making a public apology to any of there members regarding what i stated on youtube about them!
SIF always declines me >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
Yea same here. And they like to rub it in too. "ACCOUNT DENIED" It may have something to do with how i wrote my birthday as January 1, 1900. I don't give away all that personal stuff online. (Thats why I like Bachmann)
Whatever, back on topic.
Well Michael the POSTOPIA thread is a very good idea. Why I think that is there are some members on this forum (No names mentioned) who seem to enjoy posting threads that would lead to spam or is really unecessary for this forum. I know that these members and the rest of the members on this board mean well, but come on, do we really have to know if they watch a Thomas movie, find one Thomas thing they find cool online, or even talking about something that has nothing at all to do with Thomas. In fact you guys would actually be surprised how many times I told some certain members to get back on topic when they would get off topic in the first place. (Sorry if that sounded rude in any sort of way.) This forum can get better and I think we better not make so many pointless threads that lead to trouble or for that matter spam.
I ain't sayin a word because I know what ya all are thinkin. >:(
This thread isn't pointless, i am stating the facts here that this section of the bachmann forum has too mnay threads that are complete nonsence!
I used to run my own forum, but i shut it down because of certain members from SiF, now i am on the Model Trains Forum, a place where modellers like me can share ideas and show off our projects and such!
I have lead the first MTF members meet, so i know what i am talking about!

If any of you move on from Thomas, there is a good forum that your friend Captain Punjab once belonged to...

Gordon, I wasn't talking about you or this thread leading to spam, if I thought this thread would lead to spam I would have said something a long time ago, trust me.
PS I know what you are talking about, I am a member of MTF and I saw the meeting video...

Dan, you can't genuinely believe that SiF ruined your forum. You know there were some certain members that ruined it. Point is, grow up, move on and stop blaming SiF for your forum's problems.
QuotePoint is, grow up, move on and stop blaming SiF for your forum's problems.
Oh please, you bore me!
If you were not so blind, you would have seen those messages that was posted up on Sodor Island's fansite ages ago, and i still have the version that was written in public by Ryan.
And your telling me to grow up?
I think that it's you and SiF who need to start doing some serious growing up here, at least i am not OBSESSED with Thomas like the rest of you sad pathetic losers are, you freaks are the ones doing too much Thomas stuff, so why don't you start acting your ages for once in your friggin lives!
And at least i have REAL friends who are also more mature than any of you sad twits could ever be.
And although you SiF idiots think you are better than all of us who arn't on your little community, we do have lives you know, and at least some of us have jobs, so i am sorry that the same cannot be said for you.
And at the end of the day, you can all say what you like about me, cause in the end, i am the winner here, i know when to stop, like i said, the same cannot be said for you, so do what you like, cause i am not bothered anymore.
I have a good job and earning a descent living, i am among friends who sahre my intersts others than Thomas, so you can stick all your comments up your dung holes. ;)
Dan, that is the asinine post I have ever seen.
A lot of people on SiF actually ARE adults, meaning OVER 18, and they hold steady jobs, and have a life outside of Thomas. Which I sadly cannot say for the pre-teen morons that your cause seems to have created an army of on YouTube.
You know very well that SiF did not cause your problems, nor are they now. YOU are the only reason why you are not there right now. It is your own fault you caused this. People on SiF do not think they are better than other forums. You are simply jealous because Ryan will not forgive you, and because SiF has been proactive in the world of Thomas. Please, do us all a favor, and stop bitching about it. You sound like the 8-year-old twits on YouTube.
You guys, stop fighting right now! >:(
You guys, seriously, why are you guys changing topics like that? We were first talking about the Bachmann forum, then we got Gordon causing trouble by talking badly about SiF and now all this happens.
Gordon, Tristan is right, that is an insane post you made, if the Bach-man was here right now he would have banned you. There are no put downs or any remarks like what you just made onto this forum like that at all. Yes, I may not be a member on SiF but some of my closest friends are indeed members there, and they love it very much. They clearly are far more mature then you will ever be! This trash talk is very inappropriate not to mention, what if everyone on SiF saw what you just made. You would just be getting yourself nothing but a big fight where you would be in a big disadvantage as in 1 vs 500.
Can't we all just get back on topic, please, this has been one of the worst arguments that I have EVER seen on this forum. Let's just continue talking about how the Bachmann forum can be better. It would be a lot more of a peaceful that way after all Gordon, this thread was your idea. ;)
One more thing Gordon, if you ever have one of those "I hate SiF" or anything related thoughts like that, it would be much appreciated if you please kept those opinions to yourself as clearly you got some people offended just now, including myself.
BOT
I didn't say what i said to cause an arguement for the bachmann, ever heard of the term 'Freedom of Speech'!
And i don't really care who i have offended, i am allowed to express my feelings as i please, regardless of who thinks it right or not, only the bachmann can tell me not to do anything bad, and i shall fully comply with him.
But as for you guys, saying that 'You are simply jealous because Ryan will not forgive you'.
Do you really think i could care less wether he does, cause i am not apologising to you nor anyone else at SiF for anything i stated here or on youtube.
'Freedom of Speech', get over it!
Ok, everyone here is a noob (including me). Gordon made a thread about pointless threads, and everyone flames him for making a pointless thread. Ummm, do you see what I am getting at? Also, if you guys can talk about the Thomas show, he can talk about a Thomas forum? Kapeesh? Don't make me go into detail for god sakes, you guys are acting like the babies who watch this show!
Well it looks like he got banned...I think we all know the lesson/moral in this situation.
Never say things that may offend people otherwise you get banned. Dan Snell showed us that. Thank you Dan Snell :) :P Also a peaceful forum, is indeed a happy forum. :)
But seriously I think clearly this thread has seen better days, let's leave this topic alone so the Bach-man can delete it.
How can you be sure he got banned?
Simple, you can't view his profile, and you see his original user name instead of "Gordon" AKA SilverSpencer. Plus knowing how he was posting, he would have never wanted to close his account, that must have been why he got banned afterwards right after he made that post.
Nevertheless this thread has got to go and be removed. I'm just happy that things are finally back to normal here. :)
BOT
Ok can you guys please tell me what all this is about. ???
Read the thread.
Well Corrie this thread is clearly done for, this thread should be long gone now as it has already been damaged pretty badly.
BOT for Bach-man to delete.
Hiya
I've just been in a convo with silverspencer on MSN before all this happened, he has told me that he wasn't banned from this board, he deleted his account.
Well it doesn't really matter now, let's just end this thread now so the Bach-man can delete it.
Children Children...
One is entitled to ones opinion. If we could all act like mature people and get along everything would be fine. I have to say, those who cannot act and post maturely should go to some other forum. This forum was obviously meant for a mature chat. Not some "OMG I FOWNED A TOMAS TEH TANK INGEN VIDIO UNDUR MY BED LATS NITE! I AM GOIGN 2 WACH IT RITE NOWWWWWWWWW!!!" forum. If this applied to you take a long break until you've matured. I do find these feed a tad amusing, one of the few reasons I post here besides being ***** to you. ;)
Actually come to think of it most of the people who spam on this board or cause trouble on this forum actually didn't get involved. So I kinda found that relieving, if they joined in too it would have been a total nightmare...we would have gotten some posts like...
"HEY!!!!!! >:( Gordon u r such a jurk on this forum, u r mean 2 me so many times and I am so mad >:( :( :'("
But seriously I am pretty happy that things are still kinda getting better as when some of us actually pulled together and took care of a bad situation. I think that now we all better get along like this in the future and who knows maybe we can finally make this forum 100% happy and non spam free. :)
