    I like the Forums I really do but as I logged on tonight looking for something decent to reply to all I see is the same crap going back a week. Like Lgalis post Any words you always spell wrong.

    Why on earth is this post still on the front page of the forum, has Hubpages become that bad, Eric G I think my friend you deff had a point earlier today.

    So are you all happy to have a hubber who was banned from Adsense asking you can you spell ???  Jeeez like come on, is this what the forums of hubs has become.

    Oh on a quick note, Candie I hope you had a great birthday and for all you hubbers, ignore those damn stupid hubs, let them just sink to the depths they belong !

    I agree BC. I like responding to questions where I can use my knowledge. There are few forums that promote interesting, educational discussions smile

      RGrafposted 14 years agoin reply to this

      I've sometimes felt the same.  But I noticed what I would consider as interesting and educational postings and no one was commenting.  They were rushing to others that seemed to juvenile.

      Hi Cole, nice to see you back with some intelligent convo, but interesting and educational discussions, I just hope you aint caught using the drugs you are on smile

        Colebabieposted 14 years agoin reply to this

        Was that sarcasm? Cuz I've never used drugs. Sorry if I can't tell sometimes. But anyways, I like using what I know and talking about things that interest me. I think that the forums like, "what's your favorite..." etc. can be fun, people participate because they want their opinion out there. But no one logs on to see others posts, they log on to see responses in reaction to their own thoughts. I like interesting better smile I guess just ignore the ones you feel are unnecessary, and participate in the ones that are important to you.

    If it's still on the front page then other people must be enjoying it and participating in it. Even if Lgali replies to every post, someone else must be posting.

    There are threads that I can't stand, that go on forever, but others must really love them, so the hub community has voted, and I just try to go with the flow.

        LOL There is no rule prohibiting one from doing it, but I agree it sometimes gets slightly annoying. smile

        I try to train myself to not react to those things that annoy me, I came to conclusion that this is the most efficient way of dealing with such things. smile

        But heck, I am human too, and sometimes I DO REACT lol

          Misha you are a damn good guy and when I think of Hubs you are deff up there. We just sit back and watch this crap fill the forums and I hear about how the forums used to be fun.

          So Hubpages, so Maddie you were quick to ban me, what about all this useless crap like Lgali is posting, do we put up with it or what. Me, I am sick of logging on the Forums and reading pure crap, Eric G had a point and I am now asking Hubpages straight up are you just going to let Hubbers who Assense banned fill the Forums with totally stupid crap ?

  7. Mrvoodoo profile image59
    Mrvoodooposted 14 years ago

    Personally I believe that Lgali should be able to do as she pleases, as long as she's not hurting anybody else, I don't see any relevance between her being banned from Adsense and her ability to ask an interesting question.

    Sure it's been dragging on and on a little, but then if she didn't respond somebody else would probably start a thread bitching about people that don't respond to their own threads.

    People join HubPages every single day, to them that's not an old and annoying thread, but a thread that even new comers to the forums can participate in without technical knowledge of HubPages (or it's forum politics). smile

    Sometimes we all need a break from responding in detail and honestly LGali has grown on me. Yes some are juvenile, some are repetitive but all have enlightened , what one does not find amusing another just may isn't that what questioning and writing is all about? Learning something new no matter how silly it may sound makes the world go ground. smile

          Alot of people pretend to be things that they aren't in their avatars. Each to his or her own. Lgali has always been very sweet towards me, and her adsense status is none of my business. And her threads are no worse or better than many others.

            Within this entire thread it appears to be just BS personal attacks and a bottom of the bottle opinion of one who forgets to consider the last time that such a perspective provided us all with a sample of how sad it is when one self destructs & becomes abusive!

    Perhaps the problem isnt that people are starting boring pointless topics but that noone is starting interesting ones!! Presumably people only comment on the dull, stupid threads so much because there isnt anything better! BC, if you want to talk about something interesting, then you should start an interesting topic!

      I don't see the connection between Adsense and the HP forums, but I'll leave you to it now, because I've noticed that the 'my friends' are disappearing, and the 'you're stupids' are arriving.

    Uninvited Writerposted 14 years ago

    I don't mind Lgali's questions, however there is no need to give a one word answer to every posting. Surely no one expects to get an answer when they post the word they can't spell...

    When I post on a forum I don't expect an answer unless I have asked a specific question.

    Maybe hubpages should make Fridays silly ,whacky days!!mah that wouldnt work cuz of time zones ,on the other hand it would work, just the trivial stuff would be spread out a bit more.

    It did kinda niggle Lgalis posts for a few days ,and then I relised its the Religious thread that can be so tedious in Hubtivity , like the song that never ends.....geeze man oh man ,and so many of the same. I bet even God gets bored.

    Lgali is like Marine just different styles ,so least we have a choice between cell-phones for kids or enlightenment, legalise weed ,or first signs of divorce.
    Variety works for me

    List of interesting thread ideas:
    My goat ate through the fence and mowed down half my veggie garden.
    or
    How to pronounce my name.
    or
    Why bother to pronounce my name.
