What makes this the best forum you have ever belonged to ???

I have my own thoughts on this but I would love to hear yours. Thumbs up

I still agree with myself:
http://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=153628

Especially as I spent most of my hiatus year on a gaming forum that included general topics for politics and religion. Oh yes. Lots of politics and religion. Spiced with occasional "you foreigners [defined here as "anyone not American"] are tolerated here but you should be reminded occasionally of your status as second class forum citizens."

^^^ I agree with the n00b

It is the general lack of cockwallets. If we could just get rid of the fascist Mods it would be perfect.

Now can someone tell me why my lad is nerfed?

I found this forum to be really helpful.

Got a mentor I can blame my cock ups on.
Guides on how to tenderise and fork lads.
The funniest stories I have ever read.
Phone calls that make me laugh.
Tattoos that have left me 'gobsmacked'.
Photo's that have made me giggle and some have left a bit of sick in my mouth...
Anonymity, multi cultural, not political and eater has some ethics, I like that.

I admin'd a very large motorcycle forum for nearly a decade and tbh, I had had enough of forums, egos, politics and the click. I haven't really noticed any of that here so I think I'll be staying Cool

I occasionally post on Naijapals - probably the worst (and worst moderated) forum anywhere.

Just so you know.

Yeah, the dev team should totally fix or do sumfink because we are paying customers. Well, you are paying customers. I'm here just for the freebies in the patches.

i wouldnt say its the best forum I belong to but its the best one on this subject. the camaraderie is wonderful the humor and the mission to indirectly save someone from prossably making life altering mistake.

To begin with, the Ethics policy. We receive some very sensitive information and we use it for a higher good. If you get out of line here, not only to the Mods address it, but it is often addressed by the members first.

Then, the whole friendliness/teaching/teamwork aspect that shows in this forum. If you need help, someone is always there with direction, whether they are your mentor or not.

Then there is the opportunity for real mind fuckery. If I have a chance to mentally rape a scammer, I'm on it! Sometimes you just need a good outlet for the stress of every day life.

Oh, and also: in case you sometimes think what you might be missing, here is an analysis I made based on countless of observations on how to argue properly in the Interwebs. Use it as a reference if you ever get into one of those mudslinging contests and victory is guaranteed:

If that doesn't convince you, remember rule II: when in doubt, pick a bingo word:

Try the veal, you'll never leave. The complementary valet parking is also nice.

I have to say that I quite enjoy the buy-one-lad-get-one-free promotions on Tuesday; in addition to the liberal lad return policy.

To be honest, it's the only forum that will have me Embarassed

Posted: Mon Jun 09, 2014 5:09 pm

Because we don't walk away when just about everyone else would.
It takes the best of humanity to deal with the worst.

I guess that's why.

It's simple for me.

On other forums, you talk about shit.

On THIS forum, you get shit done.

A purpose is a good thing and trolls never have the inclination to get anything done besides irritation.

I thought this place was an upmarket Dating Site Confused

Posted: Mon Jun 09, 2014 6:10 pm

Here trolls are promptly sent to the Curb. (With the exception of Pastor Frank)

I hate it here, unfortunately, it's where my computer keeps bringing me back to when I hit Home. Cool

Honestly though, where else can one person do so much good for other people? Between here and the warning site posts, literally thousands of victims can be helped by the actions of just one person.

I'm not leaving until I get the "Hot Ladies of Eater" calendar.

Posted: Tue Jun 10, 2014 2:06 am

^^ You didn't get your copy??

Miss June is ***HOT***

Ok, I may be a bit older, but anything with a pulse and breathing is hot at my age

Have to admit, Slightly has summed it up very well. Especially the people that contribute in Scamwarners.

Does this mean you will leave now?

^I have already received the "All B8ER All the Time" calendar. Thanks anyways.. Confused
