Too many newbies... a cry to the oldies!, by lesroy on Jan 23, 2008 23:03:30 GMT 1, Lesroy: A Diary
Man I miss the good old days of this forum...
I used to run home from work, log in and see what my Banksy mates had posted on the forum.
I knew nearly all of the members, we were all close and shared each others love for all things Banksy.
I'd wait with anticptaion as Aza got another of his 'blinders' framed... we'd all beg Zippy to show us another classic from his collection.
We all gasped with jealously when Numusic robbed a bank (or someone) and bought up all the Banky's in sight!
If we were lucky we'd be treated to 2 or 3 new posts per week in the "Get your Banksy's out" thread... all of which were amazing!
All the conversation was deep, meaningful and more importantly friendly... mostly about Banksy and then just a few other guys!
I'm a little sad now that the board is full of people I don't know... who talk about millions of things off topic. I see PS3's sold in the art forum and stories about last nights Top Gear.
Silky... can we have a thread just for us oldies that know each other to chat in?
I don't want the world to change... I like the golden olden days... summers that are long... the taste of Worthers Original... and chat about Banksy by people who display his work.
...grump over

Was going to say the same.
Banksy is not doing enough to talk about right now.
If i could buy a Banksy original for 200 I would post pictures. Promise.

Yup as stuey says Lesroy, we's aging fella. Its a telling sign when you start drinking beer from the bottle rather than the pint glass due to the volume and required trips to the lav.......

Too many newbies... a cry to the oldies!, by funster on Jan 23, 2008 23:24:41 GMT 1, Lesroy, I can't help but agree with you to a large degree, apart from not knowing if I'm a newbie or not!! I spent half an hour or so earlier looking through the first "Get your Banksys Out" post - it's a classic - fantastic prints in cheap frames, buyers buying for the love of the art, all the good stuff. What I would say though is that there are new members out there that should be very very welcome IMO, G for instance often makes valuable and interesting comments, and many others are out there too. I welcome new members, I just wish they (or many of them) didn't see ยฃยฃยฃ signs infront of anything to do with contemporary art. Nuff said

On every forum i've been people have been complaining that it was so much better in the past blablabla, whatever, next year people will be complaining that it was such a nice place a year back.

Too many newbies... a cry to the oldies!, by sm on Jan 23, 2008 23:45:47 GMT 1, As a very new member I say give newbies a chance. I agree that I find it a bit weird when I see threads that are completely non art related and am a bit baffled to hear of people selling video games on the forum. BUT... a lot of newbies have arrived here because of their love of Banksy or Graff in general and are excited to have people to talk to with common interests. Maybe you need a sub board for Banksy purists who don't want to discuss anything else, but to have a forum that excludes newbies is elitist and very unbanksy!
Hope you stick around and get to know some new people, they may bring something to the table that's new and exciting.
Maybe I'll even see you at the Bast show tomorrow.

Too many newbies... a cry to the oldies!, by robinbanks on Jan 24, 2008 0:06:45 GMT 1, Someone started an introduce yourself thread just before Xmas - which I thought was a very good way for us art loving newbies to say hello and share our passion with other newbies and oldies alike. Trouble was only about 4 newbies, myself included, contributed anything - and the only oldie to even acknowledge our existence was Jef Aerosol (who is a legend btw).
It might be a good idea for Silky or someone to dig out that thread and sticky it - like the ยฃ50 thread - so we can all get to know each other better.
