Although you may find our beloved forum a place for a bunch of jobless nit-wits and most of our current threads as useless drivel or meaningless rants, please come in, read and post something coz our beloved DF is not always like this...

sometimes its even worse..

Go through some of our classics.. like
PSP(Plastic Scouring Pads)
Last Letter of the Word Game thread
Charity Head Shaving
Avatar Drama
Any post from HP
Most Posts of Ian
Some Posts of Concord
Window watch posts by Baby Doll
Fights involving Jamal n Ish
etc

(If not for the net speed or our screwed up Search feature with no option to search posts by number of replies filter, I would've posted links to these.)
So please post something and increase your post count... get into fights.. make and break friends etc..

I saw my name. Feel oblige to post now.
I have decided to reliquish my window watch title to someone more capable. As there isnt much contribution.
Traffic is always the same - smooth or congested.
Weather is always the same - sunny.
People - dont see many of them on SZR.
Crow - hasnt been visiting for a while.

So, for the end of my window watch this season, here's the finale:
Traffic - smooth going
Weather - Looks like it will be sunny moving forward from now ie for the rest of the year!
People - Still dont see them on SZR
Crow - damn, where are they ?!

People - Still dont see them on SZR - not even jay walkers?
Crow - damn, where are they ?! - yea where are they?

I'm new in here but it seems that this forum was more active before. There is a new sticky in suggestions by andyba (guess he's the owner) and nobody replied. why no one is discussing things over there? maybe because of the other post that ^ian^ mentioned but it seems that there was a loss in site's revenue and hits and andyba is willing to make some changes.

Its actually much simpler than that...

The Forum attracted a series of subscribers of dubious origin who, for personal reasons known to some still here, insisted on dragging everything down, hacking locked forums and publishing the contents in open session, cyberstalking every member particularly if there was a hint that they may be of the female persuasion and generally pissing off the more serious and valued contributors.

At the time, the Mods and Net Nannies had taken their eye off the ball and all sorts of nonsense was going on that people got away with.

I myself got fed up with members begging for help due to these complete dicks making their lives hell (both cyber and real)

Thankfully, they got bored and wandered off to point and coo at cars elswhere with saliva dribbling from their moronic mouths, taking their idiotic child-like mentalities with them. Hence the reason that I am back!

So now all we need to do is get back to the question of good content. Part of the function of the forum is to help people who DON'T know about Dubai or the UAE and we should be posting content that is informative as well as enlightening. If we decide to shower ourselves in witty banter and generally have a jolly good time doing it, so much the better!

I am considering carefully my next subject posts...

I think I should request DR.D to arrange a class on how to be funny on the forums as well... oh sorry on second thought.. I'll ask HP.
