I'm confused (yeah so what's new).

Do give Laurie a green thumb if I want red thumbs back or a red thumb if I don't want red thumbs back?

Bring back the biff! I mean red thumbs!

Yea thats what I thought

Luv the biff

Speak up or shut up. Giving a green thumb to someone for a good comment or post is constructive reinforcement. A red thumb say's nothing and gives no alternate point of view to the other side of a discussion. No red thumbs.

So if someone has no green thumbs does that mean they really have red but you cant do red so they have nothing.
See how stupid that is.

All or nothing is my call.

If they are so meaningless, why are you so eager to bring them back?

I've been around here longer than most i've seen the way the site has developed.
+ing or -ing posts was the next logical step
What i think doesn't matter really.

May i suggest that perhaps the 5 posters who have posted the most on the SUP forum be asked their opinion - DJ has been noticeably absent from these threads - then they make the red thumb decision?

I'd like to see red brought back if not then get rid of thumbs all together.

im too childish to say something like that. You are right

seriously, why should anyone listen to a guy who hates sups and his best work is to continously post a red thumb, a donkey in a boat and two old bitties on sups in a swimming pool.

personally, i think its ok to have you around, but i don't think you have any right to make a call on a forum who's subject matter you hate.


cheers

Wah wah wah, that may be true mate but the "Im leaving if the red thumbs come back" is well, childish imo and I stand by that!!
I generally post light hearted stuff that to me is funny and other people get the joke. And generally thats all it is and if ya cant handle red thumbs and a bit light hearted mucking around, well it maybe time you left?
This is the internet, its a tough place!

you didn't get did you. let me say it again -as a sup hater and only in it for the 'fun', imo you have no rights to be making calls.

again i have no issues with you hanging around making fun, but let sup pers and people how actually post topics make the calls about a sup forum

cheers

how's this for a thumb (megan fox)

Imagine Megan Fox with nice red lips (Help Me Please Mr Wizard)

bring on real names and contact details to make people accountable for the gold
or crap

that they post

also - a 3 post per day policy - to stem the

dwellers / diluters / time wasters

who really need to get a life (red thumb that!)

and shoot / ban anyone with over 595 posts

and a 1 week ban for spelelling errors.

2 week ban for the misuse of "of" and "have"
3 week ban for "there" and "their"

and finally
- a breathalyser attached to every keyboard to stop "drink posting"

I've enjoyed all your post thus far however if the forum was to be conducted under the above rules,it would make you guy's the laughing stock.

Why do you guy's take this forum so serious.So many forums on this site are a take p-ss type.

This could be the problem

Hell yes bring back the red.

Why is it that the sup forum is the only one without them too many princesses maybe, attacks from industry insiders are you ****in serious, really some of you people need to go outside shake yourself and step back into the real world.

If you cant handle the fact that someone thinks your post is crap and red thumbs you big ****in deal.This forum and some of the regular posters take them self wayyyy to seriously.Maybe Laruie should put in a tecno hug so anyone affended with a high red thumb count can have there ego stroked back with a nice little huggy!
Harden the **** up no wonder Sup has a bad name with so many whinging little girlymen on board.[}:)]

I gave you a green one because i could not find the red button

if u get 10 red thumbs you should get one of these

Makaha said...

no need for that lacey lets enjoy all things standup,tech stuff,video/pictures.surf trips,design,new boards and have some fun along the way.No one hates standup's,

laurie has confirmed iNdustry was involved beersup.

my last say on this subject. i really don't think anyone gets upset for themselfs much. it's more of a case why- me or the subject or the board, the reply, whatever

why not have thumbs for the post and then RED Or GREEN THUMBS FOR THE POSTER

ie i post a photo of a board, someone could green thumb the board, but go i hate that guy, i'll give him another red thumb next to his name

i could go with that- its the unknown that bugs me
