Is it fractionMan's fault?

I've also no idea why you're referencing an unrelated book that is nearly a decade old.

I am similarly confused why I am trying to inform a community that is over a decade old and not open to new ideas or people.

As an expert on the subject I think you should accept that I've read more books on the socio-legal, info-scientific and economic aspects of communities, both organic and virtual.

I'm not over a decade old. I'm six years old at most.

That's a load of fookin' shite.

A startlingly erudite, comprehensive and correct analysis.

That's a load of fookin' shite. Mind you, seeing as you've never run a busy, successful bulletin board it's no surprise to see you haven't got a fucking clue about them.

has he done it again?

i wonder whether he will ever work out that people are actually checking to see if his references are relevent to his claims.

That Amazon link had his name in it, does that mean billy bullshitter gets money for people clicking on the link?

To be fair, I'm not doing this. I'm just here to laugh at him. Checking up on references sounds like WAY too much hard work.

this community is welcome to new ideas and people, we just don't take self important cabbages very seriously.

we do welcome you as the entertainment though. there are deckchairs being dragged out of sheds and popcorn being made all over the world every time you comment

it would be, but my alternative is reading books on postmodernism, public heritage and identity politics.

Could you furnish me with some examples of these busy, thriving bulletin boards you've set up please?

You see, any idiot can read a load of books and blather cluelessly away on the internet about what it takes to make a successful community, but only a few get off their arse and actually do it.

So what have you got, 'Big Man'? Let's see the colour of your URLs.

Ed, you were nothing -- nothing until you got me. Look what you've achieved since March 2007. I rest my case.

I think Mr Bishop deserves a nickname. Can I suggest Harold?

There was another thread mentioned. Anyone got a linky to it? thx

Here's is the legendary original thread: http://www.urban75.net/vbulletin/threads/218366-Welsh-Labour-Closing-Down-Bulletin-Boards

"At the age of 28 Jonathan was elected to Pontypridd Town Council, and noted a similar path to former US President Bill Clinton, who was also elected unopposed to public office shortly after graduating from law school."

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Here it is.

Enjoy

 

[DotCommunist]

heh. Epic fail.

That website is so full of J-Bish trying to compensate for his own insecurities. It's hilarious

I *heart* how he has compared himself to Clinton, it's like when Richard Madeley interviewed him, and compared the trauma over his shoplifting trial to Clinton's impeachment trauma

You don't have to be a rock to study geology. However, I ran two sucessful community websites between 1998 and 2003. Successful in that they helped people find the information they wanted. Due to lack of financial backing, both were taken down as they were both niche sites. One was targetted at people with connections with Llantrisant, and one for people interested in Robin Hood.

jonathan only responds to the editor, funny that , not bob monkhouse funny though

 

[meurig]

Thank you - you just made me laugh out loud.

[fractionMan]

So johnathon, how's re-writing the entire internet working out for you? Made any progress?

 

[stupid dogbot]

Well, in the sense that between them they appealed to 8 entire people, those sites were a huge success!

Some may say that planning a community websites so badly that it was unable to sustain itself speaks volumes of your own inadequacies and shortcomings in this area. I'd tend to agree.

Your websites weren't successes. They were failures and you let the users down.

Part of the process of building successful on-line communities involves thorough and extensive planning and research, and by cobbling together a site that flopped because of your poor financial planning, you've actually left users worse off.

What were the names of these sites please? I'm sure they would have been indexed by Google
