A few words of wisdom that I think we'll ALL benefit from. So please read this and lets get back to normality!

It’s no secret that recently this forum has sunk to an all time low. Why? Because of ALL the people who write on it. Are we not all Thunderbirds fans? If we are then we should stand together not against each other. The rest of society looks at people who like Cult television as anoraks. Fans of Thunderbirds, Doctor Who, The Avengers (unfortunately I cover all three of those but then I know I’m weird!!!) all of these are discriminated against. We know that we’re not different – well I am but that’s immaterial.

This is a forum NOT a Battlefield. Joseph does his best to run this site and all we can do is ruin it.

So I suggest that we start this forum anew. Wipe away all the bad feeling and consider these points:

1) We are all fans of Thunderbirds – old and new. If there weren’t any new fans then the series would die and we don’t want that do we? What sort of forum would this be if everybody had the same thoughts and opinions. So what if a person asks what F.A.B. means. We all had to start somewhere. Even I asked that question once. I won’t hold it against you that you don’t know what the 56th line in Terror in New York City is if you don’t hold it against me that I do. I think that makes sense!

2) Before you reply to a message and accuse somebody of being rude think for a moment and wonder whether you have misinterpreted the message. REMEMBER we can’t here each others voice.

3) Think about HOW you write your message. I am indeed the worse offender of this. Often I write in the way that I speak. If you could here me then you’d probably laugh. When you can’t here me you accuse me of being rude. So think carefully.

4) Don’t get irate with a person just because they’re not as funny as Nic etc. We are all different and all have opinions to contribute. Let a person do so.

5) We are all aware that there are people who go out of their way to ruin this forum - ignore them. Let them get on with their childish games. Joseph will delete their messages soon enough. Don’t even say ‘I didn’t write that.’ We know you didn’t. If the fools who write this stuff get no response they’ll get bored.

6) Finally as nice as it is that you all like my web site – remember that this is Joseph’s forum. If you have a message for me regarding my site then you can contact me in the FAB FORUM. I know I’d get irate if people kept on leaving messages in my forum to say how nice Joseph’s site is!

A few words of wisdom for us all I think. Now lets turn this into a forum we can all enjoy.

Best wishes to you all,

Stephen
