Who taught you to write coherently?
Everything I do I learned me self.
I said that I
personally blamed you. You started the rot, in my opinion. You were the one who put me off - I've been busy before and managed to keep chugging along with my BT. Why couldn't I do that this time? If you pushed me for an answer, I'd say it was you. I can't think that BT was that appealing when your thread was the first thing anybody read - I've seen many a newbie show up here and start off crap/mediocre and then turn out to be a good booker because they take constructive criticism on board. You didn't do that and then, if you think back, performed your 'heel turn' on me when I was the only person trying to help you. Excuse me if you don't like it but I think you're an utter moron. Other people clearly felt the same way. Maybe you're not 100% to blame, you aren't, but for me, YOU started the rot. You drove people away because you acted the way you did and you showed no signs of disappearing.
LOL. The hell are you on about? Heel turn? Really? I just pointed out the things that made you a stupid hillbilly red neck.. That's all. You were not trying to "help me" you were trying to big yourself up in an effort to make me look stupid. I started a rot? Ha no I never. I'm not to blame. People left because they had better things to do... not just 'Cause I posted a thread..
Go back and read your first thread. I dare you. I'll post this again because it is completely relevant ...
Who was the one who was trying to help you? You seem to think I was telling you that your thread was crap when actually, go read that feedback, I was telling you how to improve the basics to make it a readable and decent show. The booking, that was all up to you, I gave my opinion but hey, you listen to that if you want. And you repaid that constructive criticism by acting like a tough nut - and then you wanted to complain that I was picking on you? I spend enough time sorting out 10-year olds on the playground without you acting like one as well. You seem to think that I don't have a right to tell you how to improve - check the views and the postings, my thread is way out in front. 42,000+ views says I know what I'm doing. Look, I've never said I know more about BT than anybody else but I would hope that any newbie to BT would see that and think "I'll listen to GCB, he seems to have the idea of BT and how it works." I don't think I am better than anybody else, not you or Heel Ziggler (apologies to him, not familiar with his work), but I do know that I have proved that I know what I'm doing here.
I don't give too craps about how many views your thread got. Your aloud you opinion and I appreciated the feedback. When you started talking to me like I was a little kid I got annoyed with you...
Your comments about me riding in to save the day are laughable. Every few days, I come in here to have a look, hoping to see a rejuvenated section springing back to life. If it takes off, I will be back, I'll catch my writing bug again. I'm busy but I do have the odd bit of spare time for BT if I am motivated. You seem to be implying that my comment of being busy is a bit false, my eleven month old daughter is all the proof you need that I have a busy time of it these days. Writing BT before she arrived was a lot easier and my time away from here coincides with her growing up. Don't take cheap shots about me leaving, you don't have a clue.
I couldn't care less about your 11 month old daughter... No offence. I'm not trying to say that your not busy... I'm just saying, that the reason this section died was because people were too busy. Not because of me.
JAM's call for a moderator is a decent suggestion - not sure how it would increase the traffic though. He wouldn't want to close threads that weren't any good, he'd want to stop people opening multiple threads at the same time and then stopping because they got bored. I think you'd started at least 3 BT's at my last time of counting. Maybe a little bit more thought into them and they'd have got started? It isn't about a moderator keeping JAM or GCB or Theo or Peep or Proph top of the BT ladder, it's about making sure that things at the top of BT are readable and thought out. Seems a decent plan to me.
Don't have a problem with this as long as your claims are true...
You have actually put up some form of an argument but that paragraph makes you look a tit. Just saying.
Your mom making you made here look like a tit in my eyes. Just saying.
I'm not going to go back and forth with you (again) on here. I couldn't give a toss. If BT is going to get back up and running, it needs the big guns like me, Proph, Theo, Peep etc but it also needs newbies, including you, who can step up and become the next wave of top BT'ers. I've said before that it needs people to give constructive criticism but it also needs people to be open to constructive criticism as well and use it to improve their work. Prove me wrong and go and get a BT going that proves you are a good writer. I'd love to see it.
THAT'S THE PROBLEM. You prats aren't letting me "step up and become the next wave of BT'ers" No one gives enough of a toss to actually help. When it comes to insulting me and putting me down, you lot are there. Bingo! We do need the big guns like you, Proph and Peep.. but tell me... were have you been for the last few months. Were have your threads been? Exactly. You've been too busy for the section which means the section dieing out is your fault.

Oooh Stars, Classy.
Been on another site a bit lately although I haven't been writing much. I've seen a really, really good competition done and I think it could work here. I'd organise it. Who would be up for it? I'd need an hour every couple of weeks from you if you wanted to take part, the tasks would be short ones.
I'd be all up for a contest. That would really help our, yes our... not just yours, section grow.
Let me know if you're up for it. Chance for the old timers to get their writing juices flowing again and a chance for the newbies to prove themselves ...
