This, but if people aren't chosen they shouldn't complain publicly...Ask the mods by all means, but once they tell you why, you're not allowed to take it any further than messaging a mod...

Right, I'm contiuning this from chat earlier as apparently serious discussions about the forums seem to be frowned upon by other members...There are VARIOUS issues on the forum which need to be addressed in order to create a much more stable and happier environment, indeed, let's take the case of Kevvy K recently...So a new member comes in, and when other members try to correct the constant errors and actual breaking of the rules, they are actually told to leave them be and of course, it results in even MORE friction because nothing has been done about it... Indeed, a lot of arguements on here could easily be prevented before they even started if mods got involved earlier in these things as they got more heated up...So it all culminated on the evening of this with an eventual banning which should have happened a lot earlier considering how often the rules (that we are ALL meant to follow, be with 12, 20, or with any personal issues) were broken... Of course some exceptions can be made for dodgy spelling, but constant flagrancy of rules without just reason should be looked at in a lot much depth...So I look to the mod team page and am actually surprised that we only have 4 mods and 2 admins on here... Surely this is too small a number for a forum of this size which hopes to develop further over the years into something different and more elegant?What happened in chat was when some members wanted to take this discussion, the other members (including mod/admins) wanted the discussion to go to less serious topics... Constantly... This is saddening to see when the mods do need to listen to members and indeed vice versa... There seems to be a massive gap between the mods and members in regards to involvement which is something that was promised recently but seems to have not happened...Respect should be earned... Not given... This applies to EVERYONE and perhaps the newer 'nicely nicely' approach should become much more middle ground... Constant rule breaking equals a warn... If this is ignored, a 3 day ban... And so on and so forth... Again exceptions can be incorporated depending on the situation...So really, a lack of mods who will get involved in the nitty gritty seems to be lacking (by their own admission), so perhaps introducing 2/3 more mods who will get involved and not sit back and move on from serious discussions and the like would help ease the workload of the mods... In the end then, more mods and respect needs to be addressed by everyone on the site... Nipping potential problems in the bud is an absolute MUST for all mods (and indeed other members) so that these situations stop and everyone can actually at least TRY to get along...Mark's idea is fab btw... Make it happen...

The video is on Thorpe's Facebook now... Evidently the site's video is crap for lots of people...

Sci-Fi channel will be fuming that their latest idea has been nicked...

My face when...Would actually like to see the video, but since it's being crap, I'll probs get bored of what seems to be essentially the same theme as Raptor... Merlin Imagineers eh?

OMFG LET'S ALL COUNTDOWN TO DISAPPOINTMENT!!!

http://www.rcdb.com/4173.htmErm... I have nothing else to say... At least until 12 rolls by... Anyone with my Facebook/Twitter will have seen my comment now anyways...

WHY IS MY VIDEO ON THIS PAGE NOW?I are confused

Big enough webcam?You do know it doesn't have to be big to be any good right?Oi vey...

Maybe he hadn't been for a while?Although again, the saying "you can't polish a turd" also applies to this ride...

Thorpe's going to sink to the bottom of the quarry because it's quite simply too heavy due to the quick investment, causing enthusiasts to BAWL loudly whilst many also cheer at the demise at the park...Either that, or LC12 will be officially announced... It's anybody's guess...

^Unless you're part of Thorpe's main target market of course..."If I wanted landscaping, I'd go to a garden centre" ;)Seriously, whilst many on here would like some form of effort put into the landscape side and some actual trees, why would Thorpe bother unless they get a mass of complaints detailing the lack of shade and what-not... Indeed, the lack of greenery is one of the worst things about Thorpe, hence why crap hit the fan when they dared to put Storm Surge by the Amity Cove sign and lawn

Yeah, cos Towers aren't getting a new thrill coaster in 2013 are they?Oh wait.............

Merlin Imagineers?LOL...And they've been doing this whole 'catch up to the mouse' thing ever since they took over... I remember nearly bursting out into laughter at an induction before cos of it... In fact, the walls of the Studios are covered in imagery of the Wizard beating up Mickey... Cruel people indeed...

Awww, it's good that you use such words to describe your mum

^That... Though I'm not sure how bad the other Spider Crabs have been at killing each other/being shocked about their shedding/being generally crap...

QUICK EVERYONE!

^Sure it got mentioned briefly before... But since these topics jump so wildly between what's going on, it needs to be discussed...Indeed, it's gonna end up like Saw's entrance when that first started... Crowded, claustrophobic, and highly uncomfortable I think... Hopefully they'll find some way of helping the flow...

Be interesting to see how long it takes for them to sort it out...I'm HOPING it'll be finished by my birthday, but I'm not holding my breath as this is quite a tricky thing to do during the open season...

Looks fab...Damn I need a job to afford to go to these places...

Aren't haikus meant to have a 5-7-5 syllable system for each line?

The Earl impatiently demanded why the carriage had stopped..."WHY HAVE WE STOPPED?!"

Maybe cos the ride WON'T have anything to do with Gears of War?It's about as likely as it being themed to it based off it using the same font...

Taking pictures of the attraction with a camera flash shows NOTHING of the actual experience... It NEEDS to be ridden to be understood why it's the best dark ride in the country by far...

Blergh, actually meant to say roller coaster there, but yes, Tomb Raider rides existed at Paramount and one still exists at Movieland Studios in Italy...Still rather technically though, since really, they based the rides off the films rather than the games... But since the films were based off the games (etc)...
