Trust you to notice that! 
@Boba
The spirit of the offer is appreciated of course, but Ericsson isn't for everyone.

Thank you! I have always searched the forums, well since christmas. And lately whenever i try to find an answer or anything remotely intellectual all i find is a bunch of personal rubish. And especially when im on my phone i cant find anything even close to what the topics are about.
Needless to say that organization is considered less than important. Everyone just posts whatever they want anywhere. So if you wanted to manually search for something you cant.
Thanks 4 this. |

I think the 'good old days' of Esato have little to do with Ericsson, they have to do with (the sense of lost) community spirit.

I fully agree. The Good old days was a community that helped each other, were kind to each other. In 2003, I can hardly remember the garbage thread and topics being locked, a topic being locked was a sure shock!
But now, it's just bollocks posted. I accept, yes, I have posted rubbish before but I tell you what annoys me, these Ericssonists! Obsessive! They think we should worship Ericsson! I wouldn't dare be that obsessive over a phone.
Scotsboyuk must be the only sane one left around

I was talking about the community in the /// forum and i think the posts there fit the imaginations that scotty and the others miss now a days in esato.

@Vlamm & vanquish
To be fair to Boba he is somewhat correct about his Ericsson thread, it does at least maintain its integrity and those who post in it are at least interested in the subject. It doesn't spiral off at a wild tangent every five minutes either by the looks of it. Having said that Ericsson phones really don't interest me very much, so whilst it may have a good community spirit to it, it isn't the community spirit I'm looking for!
Boba's thread is how Esato usd to be, like minded people posting about a subject that interestes them. I didn't join Esato because I wanted to discuss cheese or which brand of toothpaste I use! Where has the phone community gone? There is an Esato community, but how related that is to mobile phones I'm not entirely sure. People say there is no problem, if there is no problem then there must be a lot of us experiencing some sort of mass hallucination that there is.

I understand that some of those people I mentioned would quite likely fit into some of the categories I defined, but that wasn't my point. My point was that many people who have left Esato have left, not because they didn't like SE or Esato anymore, but because they felt that Esato had become something it wasn't supposed to be.

You got the point.. That is one of the reasons why i'm not around anymore that much as i was before..

But the real point in this thread is that the forum as a whole has lost that 'integrity' if I read you correctly. The solution therefore is not that the masses invade the one thread that may still have it, especially not those that may not have anything to say on the subject in that particular thread (ie: me!  ) just for the beneift of experiencing a thread that is on topic even if the topic itself is of no interest to those people at all.
The solution lies in chaging behaviour on the rest of the forum (or die trying ) and leave the threads people have no interest in alone (and clean in the process, might I add)

You have a way of really cutting through the crap! That is bang on!
A cause is never 'hopeless', as a wise man once said, " Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never; in nothing, great or small, large or petty; never give in, except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force. Never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy."
That's a piece of advice that I try to live by in all situations, great or small.

@Scotboy
This is one of the reasons, well the only reason, why many of my posts tend to be harsh and direct. I try to cut through the, "opppps is that in the user manual", or the "way are phones so expensive" posts, not to mention the ever popular, "where can I get something free" posts. Not all posts are this way, but they tend to be centered around a certain group that asks these same type of questions and dreams of the ever elevating post count. Let's get rid of the post count tally and see how the posting develops.

Hear! Hear! Have you noticed that those calling for the post count to be scrapped are primarily those with lots of posts?

I thought I was the only one for the post count to be scrapped. Most of my posts are over in the Mac threads anyway. For real info, I go to other sites. Not much here anymore.
If they do cancel the counting of posts, I will PM with two names that will be the most upset.

I have been calling for it to be scrapped for over a year! I believe I already have those names old boy.

I think you do Old Bean. Am I correct in my assessment?

There are many members who do like to post for the sake of it, most are well intentioned, but for some reason become fixated with high post counts.
I have never really seen the great fascination myself and even as I sit here listneing to an otherise leidenschaftliche germanische Oper such as the Ride of the Valkyries I cannot get at all excited about having a high post count.
I have never put a bit of stock in the post count as a measure of a man (or woman), what is in the posts is far far more important. Something to reverse our current 'more posts is better' culture would be grand.
