John Key 749 Posted December 3, 2020 On deathlist I kind of don't click on peoples profiles because I'm scared that I'll be stuck in their "Recent Profile Visitors" list. I would be more comfortable stalking individual users if this was not a feature on here. It also hurts my feelings that apparently no one has viewed my profile since April How do y'all feel about the recent profile visitors tab? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was one of the entertaining posters. Sure, we’ve a few other entertaining posters here, and sure, he behaved like a fucking idiot with the PM thing, but he’s served a decent enough ban sentence now IMO for what he did; he didn’t exactly do a Z and spit bile everywhere he went. Bring the silly cunt back! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lard Bazaar 3,800 Posted December 3, 2020 What do you think you’re going to find on someone’s profile? There’s literally fuck all of any interest on them. Who actually cares who looks at their profile? And why would you care if someone can see you’ve clicked on theirs? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I presume, like me, the only time anyone ever visits someone's profile is when you click on the name instead of the last post details and find yourself looking at someone's profile instead of the thread, mutter FFS to yourself, and immediately go back and click on right bit. Or you click to go to John Key's because he's set up a whole thread begging you to do that - so far I have resisted even though there is now the added temptation of finding out how many and who the sad fuckers were who clicked and went to his profile to satisfy his wildest desires. 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My wildest dreams are coming true, I have so many people to thank! My larger point was to try point out how weird it was that we can see that info and that I never see it discussed rather than an actual ego tug, I think it's a feature that should be taken away completely rather than each profile being able to opt out.

I'd rather have a couple of hundred posts over that 3 years, mostly relating to actual pool entries, than several thousand all consisting of utter drivel. Mind, it is a way to trim stuff in a hurry.

If you actually invest the time to contribute here then your opinion will be more relevant regarding how the forum works, good or bad. That is hardly an outdated concept, is it.

En Passant 3,745 Posted December 4, 2020 8 minutes ago, Lord Fellatio Nelson said: Does it really matter how much shit I or anybody else posts? Hell no. But you said JK had only made "a whole 195 posts" in 3 years. Did I misread the implication that this was not enough of a contribution to have an opinion on a feature? And that if he had posted 10,000 times but said nothing much that was enough? In practice I probably largely agree with you, perhaps unsurprisingly. Only on what a worthy contribution is do we differ. I don't personally conflate quantity with quality in that I'd sooner read 200 interesting posts than 10,000 tedious ones (though I'm not saying what JK posts necessarily are or aren't here, but he does take part in the pools that are the reason for this place).. And if they are all tedious I'd sooner only have to wade through the 200. At least two of the posters you regularly take pot-shots at post an awful lot. I don't find their contributions particularly stimulating either, but that's by the by if what is being asked is whether they contribute sufficiently to have their opinion considered. Are you saying that the author of 10k tedious posts is more worthy to have their opinion considered than 200 (tedious or otherwise but mostly related to actual dead pools) over a long period?

Are you saying that the author of 10k tedious posts is more worthy to have their opinion considered than 200 (tedious or otherwise but mostly related to actual dead pools) over a long period? In the context of this discussion, yes. This forum is much more than the pools that are here, there are a whole plethora of threads that have little or nothing to do with dead pooling. That is why the forum survives, thrives and will continue to exist. My point about the levels of contribution made are not unreasonable, if somebody only used their local boozer a couple of times a month would they really be entitled to suggest to the landlord and regulars that they should change the decor and install a jukebox? This thread started out as a bit of frivolity, and that was fine but the OP then came across as an absolute dick when replying to Lardy and then suggested that changes should be made, primarily to accommodate his view on how things should be here when things are just, generally, fine. Yep, I admit it, he boiled my piss a lil bit. Happens to us all, right? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
