another website

[Whitelightning777]

There is another forum that really pissed me of in the past. Since it's a new year, I went back there and I'll give them one more chance, trying to stay positive. Wish me luck.

Perhaps pics of pokies and baboon slings acts as a tranquillizer!!

Wish me luck!!

Good luck...

but if the forum pissed you off, why go back?

 

[CrypticSpider]

Personally I wouldn’t even give the owners the traffic..

If it's the one I am thinking of, I wouldn't either.

 

[CrypticSpider]

IF it is the same forum... there ARE a lot of great people there, but the influx of know-it-alls and newbie-bashing has increased to the point where I have not visited it years.

... in fact.... I can't even think of what my PW is now, lol.

I have a feeling that I am not missing anything tho.

You'll be much happier staying here on the friendly forum

If you’re bored go check out the thread “opinions on the board.” Its pages and pages of bickering about why everyone’s opinion is right and wrong at the same time and why no one listens to anyone else. They’re basically fighting about why they fight all the time. Its hilarious.

I joined in 2014 over there and i haven't seen anything in the way of bashing, constructive criticism that might seem harsh maybe, but bashing no. Well maybe the occasional trolls that slip through, but that is about it. Like TF and another forum i am a part of, i think it is an overall excellent source.

Ask Jon3800 about bashing

I read through that thread previously. Its been a bit so maybe there is something I don’t remember, but I didn’t think it was that bad. Outside of some people that didn’t like his voice (a pretty dumb thing to get caught up in) I thought it was mostly constructive criticism. If you put out that many videos that have been watched that much I would think you’d be expecting people to pick apart your video resolution and some of your methods. Once again its been a bit so maybe I’m forgeting something.

Thats not to say there isn’t plenty of ridiculousness going on over there. Case in point the thread I mentioned earlier whoch I’m sad to report is now locked (who’d have guessed it).

Ask Jon3800 about bashing

Actually i would like to say hello, as it was videos of his B. albopilosum that inspired me to actually get into the hobby in 2014.

I surf around the site but I have to be careful what I post...Im not a "Arachnogod".

 

[Arachnoclown]

I prefer this site over the other...I spend more time here.

 

[MassExodus]

Don't get me started. I was actually considering a copy and paste collage of some discussions there, and trying to get it pinned here. It would have been funny. But too time consuming..I do better just ignoring that site's existence, until I need something from the few smart ones who post there.

 

[Whitelightning777]

Strangely enough, pics of my P Striata sling seems to have pacified them. I don't plan on doing much more then lurking, but you can't stay 100% negative forever.

If I did that, I'm the hater.

There are look but don't touch tarantulas, and maybe some other websites.

 

[Whitelightning777]

That didn't take long!! The thing is that they don't want you to tell the truth.

Here I can say I did this and it led to that, no problem.

On the other one it is like we don't want to know etc.

Anyway, the point is that no one will take my tarantulas or my guns!! I think that succeeding proceed most irritating.

 

[WolfSpider]

I started on that board. There are some smart ones over there. Kezy and thistles are merely tall trees in a large forest over there. But I almost backed out of the hobby since it was so painful to post a question (Trenor exempted). Until I found TF, it was Jon3800 that saved me: a smart soft spoken guy with a ton of experience and a friendly disposition. Now, I find ALL of my chat information here.
P.S. @Arachnoclown : you are an Arachnogod in my mind

Space heaters burn down homes and kill hundreds of people each year.

CPSC estimates that portable electric heaters are involved in about 1,100 fires per year, resulting in about 50 deaths, dozens of injuries and millions of dollars in property loss.

Anyway, the point is that no one will take my tarantulas or my guns!!

All firearm deaths

• Number of deaths: 33,594
• Deaths per 100,000 population: 10.5

Hm...something isn't adding up...

 

[Arachnoclown]

@WolfSpider I'm happy just being a Arachnoclown.
I like this forum much better... no ranking system.
The only problem with this site is there's no beer emoji!!!!!
It would be nice to tell someone cheers!!!

You and your damn logic... . They’re still not taking my guns!

Also, you’re back!

Live long and prosper.

I'm back because WL777 here is incredibly predictable. Every time he returns to AB to kick the heat lamp hornet nest, he posts a boastful thread about it here.

@Shampain that's hilarious. I was going to do "Arachnopimp"...desided not to donate my $$$.
