What Has Become Of This Forum?, by Wearology on Sept 26, 2018 14:19:21 GMT 1, I have been on here for 12 years and like everything else in life over time - people, social platforms and the scene change. The biggest factor IMO that has altered our universe is the scarcity and re-sale values of many of the artists works that most of us truly desire.

What Has Become Of This Forum?, by Winter on Sept 26, 2018 15:11:29 GMT 1, New news used to be in the main section, a bit like the front page of a newspaper. It was then decided to file everything away immediately under the artist section (or wherever).
Really interesting new releases and shows would be filed away which I would then find weeks later if at all. As no one knew they were there no one would discuss them.
For me the forum took a backward step when the immediate filing away of stories took place.

This then forced us to choose the Latest Thread section and endure all of the bile in the For Sales threads. Seeing those machinations just wear you down and make you want to avoid the forum completely. I wish the threads remained in the main section.

I generally only use "Latest Posts" though to view what's going on.

I just scroll past anything I don't want to read or contribute to. There have always been arguments on forums, there were even arguments back in the day when I used to use mIRC, it seems not much changes But that said, I find the forum a good place to find information on releases, artists, exhibitions and knowledge, especially with framing. As someone above said, if you treat people with respect you'll generally get the same treatment back

Think this is a way bigger factor than changes in the scene. Anyone know why it was done?

So I pop in every so often and see the same bumps for works no one wants anymore, or frenzy over cheap gift shop postcards, or price checks. Used to check daily now maybe here and there through the week when bored.

What Has Become Of This Forum?, by Lroy on Sept 26, 2018 20:00:04 GMT 1, So let me get this straight... Linecaster complains about abuse on this forum and then...abuses people on this forum. Linecaster complains that people post messages not discussing art and then...posts messages not discussing art. Linecaster complains about things not being like the good ol' days...and yet his membership only started September 2018. He is, no doubt, one of these bizarre people that has half a dozen different accounts on here. Either that or he has been banned and rejoined under a new name. What a bizarre thread! Hello markiemark , I have quoted yo because your post is sincere, makes sense, and you tell the truth. Your finish by " wht a bizarre thread " is great too...
What Has Become Of This Forum? is the question/title... My answer would be ... A Forum. Another period, another forum, another forum, another period, etc..
Linescaster aka AL... Ba.... Co..., ABC... X... or Y.. I don't care, a bad faith person, is a hater himself ( do you know - I have no proofs - that since sunday I am harassed by phone calls coming from UK, with nobody speakin in the phone ? I have no proof - Just my two emails hacking - with porn links - for Pejac mini print and BM postacards, came forcely from a member, enjoying himself.
I think that I know who he is anyway - of course he made private his IG account when he made his postcards giveaway... Did he had really the POW print in double ? I know just one collector and smart person that could give one and he is from USA, not UK.. Anyway, he hates me and I dont hate him?. He hates mostly a lot of members here because we can have some laugh and we are not from 2008 ( I was in 78 in places that you never have been, and it was as great as graffiti streetart back in the years ).
what is funny is that :" Or Lroy, irrespective to how bad his English is, seems to act like a child throwing his toys out of his pram with every post, because he hasnt and doesnt get what he wants? "
Ok for my English, not too bad anyway, I have great mates and I won't name them, that was more closer of your 2008 section ( shhh.. even Banksy answered and wrote personnaly to me. ).
So I am a kid ! at 60 ! I know another rude and great farmer -- who is still a gentleman and that everbody respect too that like to play and enjoy the life !!!
Ahahaha, you say anyway again that my english is bad, brexit man... I wonder why did you attack me : if you are really only Linecaster, you will see that I have never insulted you, just answered to the questions.... But you know me, us more than you say... A bit perv' all this... Yes a bizarre tread... Even weird and insane...

There will always be flippers and trolls.
Be the change you want to see (Gandhi?), call out misinformation, and ignore the noise. We all do this every night with the news. Just apply the same logic to this forum.
Free speech is precious. In fact, the most despicable types of speech are absolutely necessary to a thriving community.* People are different, the unique mix of characters on this forum can be a beautiful thing, and frankly most of the trolls are playing a tongue-in-cheek character rather than going for outright harassment (which should never be allowed).
Its the internet. People will be assh*les under the guise of anonymity. My username is the same as my divers license and birth certificate. I did this because I think people should stand by our opinions, but I certainly understand that others hold different views about their privacy/anonymity, and respecting that is also part of respecting the freedom of speech.
*Speech aimed at inciting violence or used for mass manipulation does not apply.

The forums great. Lots of posts about which Heni splodgy should I buy because which one could I flip for the most profit and endless stuff like that.
Something about a postcard as soon a I saw that I ignored the thread. Same goes for other threads where it's all about the money and not about art.

Great answer ! Art was cheaper, for sure, better ? Maybe, as it was more revendicative, creative or/and with derision, messages, and some artists painting on walls, were not big companies and did not sort prints every months. Anyway we have still some great artists ( and prints) as Invader ( still himself ), Pejac, Shock1, Paul Insect of course and his Clockworth Britain and new paintings etc etc .. But there is too much asking for some prints and prints are expensive too - even a 300 ยฃ is ( for me ) expensive.
Anyway what is funny is that some members here have criticized the 3,99 postcard ( reckon that this Banksy replica in wood is excellent ) but everybody took part of the 34 pages ! So they criticize themselves ? Why those threads are popular (as the mini Pejac prints, the WOH tats, tees or boxes - โ souvenirs โโ the WOH told me, not really โ art value โ - etc etc ..) ? I think that Dismaland was the first show where there was a lot of tats ( art ) offers ; there is still a sticker, flyer, difaced tenner ( for Banksy back in the years ) โ market โ, but this is part of graffiti, Streetart and shows. For collectors ! Not for only the Charles Foster Kane ones, but for everybody ! It's great , because this is funny and everyone can get a part and a piece of art for not a lot of money and not extremely limited.
This forum is still good and well alive ! Remember the thread about Banksy in Paris for May 68, the thread about Pejac, etc .. it was good ones ! You ( kind of crew ) were mostly all on the Instagram photo and you did not look moaning, agressive, but well in good health and friendship !
I think that some people are almost all here a bit elitists, and speak with condescendance and/or contempt : this is not because you have known the โ good old days โ or because you have a lot of money and/or work with galleries that you have to treat members as this.
A forum as its name indicates is for everybody, with no social, intellectual discrimination, or mockeries, some threads are good, some other nots, anger, envy and jealousy could make them down. Then come the insults ( that can be fun sometimes too )..
We are not so much โ active โโhere, and some threads are better than the only wanted or for sales threads, that can help for sure, but they had sometimes this eBay side.
As said someone here in better English : I am still learning about shows, launches etc.. That's right, members are still posting the links ( JR, Peckham postcard etc ) and updates, that helps a lot to be the first on the dancefloor !

I think that Dismaland was the first show where there was a lot of tats ( art ) offers ; there is still a sticker, flyer, difaced tenner ( for Banksy back in the years ) โ market โ, but this is part of graffiti, Streetart and shows. For collectors ! Not for only the Charles Foster Kane ones, but for everybody ! It's great , because this is funny and everyone can get a part and a piece of art for not a lot of money and not extremely limited.
This forum is still good and well alive ! Remember the thread about Banksy in Paris for May 68, the thread about Pejac, etc .. it was good ones ! You ( kind of crew ) were mostly all on the Instagram photo and you did not look moaning, agressive, but well in good health and friendship ! I think that some people are almost all here a bit elitists, and speak with condescendance and/or contempt : this is not because you have known the โ good old days โ or because you have a lot of money and/or work with galleries that you have to treat members as this.
A forum as its name indicates is for everybody, with no social, intellectual discrimination, or mockeries, some threads are good, some other nots, anger, envy and jealousy could make them down. Then come the insults ( that can be fun sometimes too )..
We are not so much โ active โโhere, and some threads are better than the only wanted or for sales threads, that can help for sure, but they had sometimes this eBay side.
As said someone here in better English : I am still learning about shows, launches etc.. That's right, members are still posting the links ( JR, Peckham postcard etc ) and updates, that helps a lot to be the first on the dancefloor !

It was then decided to file everything away immediately under the artist section (or wherever). Really interesting new releases and shows would be filed away which I would then find weeks later if at all. As no one knew they were there no one would discuss them. For me the forum took a backward step when the immediate filing away of stories took place. This is spot on. Hopefully, the moderators can do some adjustments.

As always it will blow over and people will still find new artists and artwork to collect which they found out about on here.
