Impossible on the eyes. It is an ophthalmologist's dream there.

They lock threads there as well if they do not agree with the content. By the way Katied, I see RetroKitty has signed in here.

I've yet to see a thread be closed because someone doesn't agree.But I'm deliberately avoiding controversial threads over there.That's not hard over there.It's not as bad as MI6(imo)

Yup. Every thread I have seen that was locked was either because they were duplicates, they were long overdue, or they were flooded with flame war. BJ should have had his thread locked the instant given we already had a thread dedicated to user reviews but MI6 let it slip until it became another flame war.

If we had a thread like this one in MI6 it would have been locked long ago. But don't take that the wrong way because you're allowed to make new post again, however you have to talk to the mods on how to handle it so to avoid another flame war.

.....

The only person who can close this is a mod and since it seems to not be about two people fighting anymore *ahem* I don't seen any reason to close it.

(And they wonder why I make comments about power tripping posters over at MI6...)

BTW,if certain people take the time to register,they should actually post.

I never suggested to lock it now, I'm just noting that if this thread was on MI6 it would have been locked days ago. I don't see why it should be locked now that things have gotten more civilized.

.....

But it's not MI6.

Plus, opinions are encouraged here.Unlike elsewhere.

I know this isn't MI6, I was just saying.

To all the extremely pro-MI6 people that post here:

MI6 is not the be all and end all.The fact that they would start a thread JUST to bash this board,purely because there are people here that do not follow the edict that Daniel Craig is the best thing since sliced bread is stupid.There,I said it.Of course,there's a MI6 bashing thread here,but I think it's only fair.

There are a lot more flaws with MI6 than there are with this place.MI6 people are nitpicking this board over stupid cr*ap that doesn't matter.It's called an opinion

To say nothing of the randomness of the moderation there.

MI6 is a legend in its own mind

stockslivevan · Post by **stockslivevan** » Fri Apr 25, 2008 2:19 am

I disagree with your opinion.

Katie, you are still coming across as someone who is extremely bitter with MI6. It's only a forum when all said and done....

And that's your opinion and you're entitled to it.But I'm also entitled to say what I think of MI6.

And I think they're boastful,cliqueish, and NOT the best Bond website out there.Not.Even.Close.

Fair enough. Of course you are entitled to say what you think of MI6. But as I said before, they are just a forum when all said and done. Not the KKK, the Nazi party, Al Quaeda or the Galactic Empire.

There is no need to get so wound up by it. Chill. It's friday...the weekend is here!!

katied · Post by **katied** » Fri Apr 25, 2008 3:43 pm

They're not Al Qaeda.I never said they were.They're not even close.

But what they are not is PERFECT-as they see themselves -and I'll leave it at that.

We gather every summer. I took this snap at CNB's country HQ last year. If you look closely you'll see BJMDDs on the guitar and Skywalker on the fiddle.

This is the first I've heard - why wasn't I invited?

MI6 is not the be all and end all.

then why cant you stop talking about them? I challenge you to not post in this thread for a week

bold bit highlights incorrect bit from what little i've seen over there, the rest is just foot-shooting hypocrisy

It's called an opinion

thats the first bit of sense i've seen you post, even though you often do post it as fact, but i'm not bringing that into it

MI6 is a legend in its own mind

legend is a title bestowed - perhaps they are a little self inflated in their own awareness of themselves - of which the same thing could be said of you

OK,that might not be entirely correct.Though there does seem to be a lot of stepping on people's toes when it comes to other things(you think I don't know what goes on over there?Of course I do. I know how people practically want to *lynch* me for saying what I've said over here.Does that surprise me?Not really.)

Definitely they have a self inflated opinion of themselves.And that's me being nice.

I never got an invite either Carl.

Not much of turnout though.
Maybe next year we could have it at a pub?

Carl, bj, Skywalker, James and Kristatos await the arrival of Sweenster, Stocks , Arthur Brain and Captain Nash for the annual CnB get together.

No. Mi6 isn't that great. They only named it the #1 Bond fan site on the Internet. And it only has 861836 articles, 10920 registered users, and plenty of news/Bond coverage on the main site.

Stop obsessing over Mi6 just because nobody over there liked deciphering your nonsense on a daily basis, and seeing you stalk Thrice across the forums.
