Right... just go talk to him.  Actually, I've tried that.  Several times.  Didn't get me anywhere.  

I've gone after him when he tries to bog down my threads with his UBER long/heavy posts.  Sometimes, I sense he 'holds back' just for me (keeps his posts more or less brief) which is super appreciated.  But, generally, he can't seem to hold himself back and goes 'all out'.  I've complained numerous times directly to him about it.

I've complained to him about his TARDIS, too.  He mostly ignores me.  Once he did get my hopes up by saying he just might change it (make it smaller) because he probably wasn't going to be around much longer anyway... but that was over a year ago and he's still around and nothing's changed.

I've even brought this matter up with Carol on occasion, but it gets swept under the rug.

Apparently, lots of people have complained about the general spammy posts Oxy likes to lodge into their threads.  He repeatedly uses the same information/message/content -- especially certain images, when he does his rounds.  For example, I've seen the exact same pro-'Illuminati/reptile' images so many times in so many threads now (even where the topic is mostly unrelated) it's like a bad commercial stuck on replay.

I know the value/effect of repeating a message a few times.  I do it myself when topics overlap.  But, I mostly do it in my own threads and I endeavour to come up with new content as best as I can.  It actually becomes abusive to others when we constantly repeat the same message over and over.

And, yes, I've had some really good chats with Oxy despite all the annoyances.  These chats happen outside his one main thread.  One of the reasons I avoid his thread is because the pages crash my browser.  

Anyway, that about sums up the situation.

Lol amusing you are, Oxy. That goat of yours instinctively knew what was good for it.  I'll drink to that (but NOT with goat urine, thanks lol). Okay, back to business here...  This is about drinking one's own urine -- no one else's (and that includes goats!).  Your own urine is your body's own best medicine.  The only time it is suggested to drink someone else's urine is when that individual is so sick that they can't produce their own urine.  Then, other people's urine (preferably of the same sex because of hormones etc.) can be given until the sick person's own kidneys start to produce urine again.  Also, depending on the illness(s) and/or wound(s), other people's urine (including aged urine) can be applied topically to sick individuals to help out/encourage healing in the more rigorous aspects of urine therapy -- combination of taking urine internally (drinking) and externally (through the skin).

As a  member of this forum, I have found that large signatures become very tedious
when you have to scroll over them repeatedly...

over and over

and over again...

It's kind of like being subjected to water torture.



Please, share your thoughts.

They offer  variety and a way to see people's considerations change and evolve. A few personnal considerations regarding posts though:

I noticed I have I have less attraction for posts where there are few images and little or no text. Lengthy worded posts on the other hand tend to throw me off after a while unless clear and understandable and my interest is high for the subject being covered. Humor is fine. But by now I have seen so many cats in our gardens that I think I 'll go and look for the ladybirds and lilies for a while.

I'm glad you're sharing your thoughts here, mudra!  I wish more people would. Hey, we all are kind of 'quirky' in our own ways.  Hurray, how wonderful.  This is about being as inclusive as possible. I'm amazed I've not been booted out of this forum yet.  Carol... wow, she's got some patience. I've been booted out of one forum and let myself out the door in a few others because they weren't quite so.... inclusive as this forum. Being able to state what one thinks and feels without being lynched by the mob is something I truly appreciate. Okay, this signature thing may seem like a somewhat silly problem to bring up, but I'm all for bringing up everything and anything.  So, here it is.

Here's a few more of my own thoughts on the subject.  

Personally, I like having my little 'catch phrase' (related to 'Pris', Blade Runner... all that).  I've had the exact same avatar picture and the exact same signature since I first started doing the... forum circuit.  I'm NOT going to change my avatar pic as I've established that to be 'me' right from Day One (I don't want to confuse people by changing anything).  However, to make a point here, I've decided to change my signature.  This is meant to be temporary...  I've complained in the past and nothing happens.  Maybe if I have a large signature, too, people will see that this is really an annoying problem.  

Look, we all know who we're talking about here.  It's a SMALL forum.

Just because somebody's done something the same way for years doesn't mean it's okay.  We're all just supposed to 'get used to it'?  I've noticed everyone else, out of decency perhaps (to compensate perhaps), refraining from making a huge signature.

There's like a kind of unsaid, informal forum etiquette we all generally follow.  That restraint doesn't 'cramp my style'.  I've found many other ways to be 'original' around here.

Meanwhile, it's like we're all tip-toeing around the forum's one 'special needs person' because it's our responsibility to be nice.

When somebody makes thousands of posts, their signature (that's never changed since I've been here btw) gets to be a real pain in the arse to crawl over.

I realize that my posts aren't exactly 'light' at times with all the pictures and videos I post, but even my slow browser can handle it.

All annoyance aside, when somebody uses multiple video links plus pictures plus large blocks of text in a single post, over and over, repeated on the same page even, coupled with an extra large picture that gets repeatedly tacked on at the end, it really does slow my browser down.  Multiple videos are the worst.

To my delight and surprise, I recently noticed I've been quoted in a certain someone's thread post... and the post was looking really interesting, very insightful... but I couldn't even respond.  The page was so heavy my browser froze up and I had to kill it.

Now that you stated  clearly what the problem is I understand and realize how this can be annoying. It would be interesting to know whether you are the only one encountering it or if more people are concerned. I don't remember  having to bear with a slow down for that specific reason myself when I use my computer. The Glitches and Bugs sub forum would be the right place to debate the matter I believe. Hope you find some fruitful solution.

Oh good!  I keep forgetting that 'middle-grounders' and 'left-brainers' need more evidence/proof.  Those particular posts really do slow my browser down... Maybe it's because I'm on a more... antiquated system (and I've got a zillion tabs open which doesn't help).  So, when those heavy posts finally do load up on my page, it's like a proverbial back-handed slap in the face every time with that last picture tacked on there.  I've been psychologically damaged.

I'm worried though... on a side note... A certain someone's not been here for a few days.  Hope everything's okay.  If not, the timing of this thread would really suck.

UPDATE:  just checked, a certain someone just showed up, phew.

mudra wrote:Hello Oxy,

As I came to your thread today it took me 3 minutes to be able to scroll down the last page of your thread. And I am on high speed bandwidth ! Imagine what this means to people who have a lower speed one ? Actually this is the case for Pris apparently that is unable to reach the point of answering some of your posts although she wants to. According to her some other people complained about this as well. The large picture files you post as well as the multiple videos that come in a  row are responsible for the freezing screen.

You oftened complained that your threads receive no interest from members but take a moment and consider the above may well be a reason for this. Having to wait to be able to read any of your posts at all is quite dissuasive.

Mercuriel not being around we are really left with our own to handle such matters through communication only. Would you be so kind as taking this into account and handle things accordingly. Just making your posts shorter of so many pictures as well as multiple videos in a row would help a LOT.

Thank You Oxy
Love from me

BANZAI!

HAHA!!  Thanks for the laugh, Joe. I think I really needed it.  


With what's happening in the forum at the moment, I've had to stay focused.  

Pris wrote:It's interesting, Oxy, that you've included so many of my posts in your research/conclusions.  You've made a great effort here, but it's not right to take me out-of-context to 'sell' whatever you are selling.  I far from agree with much of it.  Personally, I'm leaning towards mostly everything happening being the result of us humans messing around with one another and that's about it.  All the rest of what you're going on about smells like a psyop in this forum.

(Btw, I was barely able to post this because the page is still too damn heavy.)

Maybe you'd like to share your thoughts in my psyop thread?
