Hi guys. Just popped in to say that Blurchat and the majority of those frequenting that little shithole of the web has finally got on my tits so much that I have to exert effort and post on here.

I just noticed that there are now over five mods of Blurchat. I think thats totally out of order. I'm not even one of them. What a joke. My girlfriend is one, to make matters worse. She didn't even log in to the place til 2 years after me. Kin bollocks.

But thats fair enough. What I do have a beef with is a complete plinkety plonk like Dippy being promoted to moderator. Who the fuck is Dippy ?!! Jesus Christ, Big Fuckin Brett should have more clout than Dippy.

Thank Christ Coping still has me as a mod. It's like the Monster Raving Loony Party has been elected to power in Blurchat.

Remember guys, this new Blurchat is *not* real. It's a shallow copy of the original. One moderator had it all under control back then. Now there's Simon, Marion, Mandy, Sean and Dippy. Probably more that we don't know about. I think Jamie died in a heinous accident with alcohol.

I urge every one of you with any sense of decency to please, boycott this false "Blurchat" and move on. Find somewhere where you are all equal. Find somewhere where you can't be banned by someone with less charisma than Paul Daniels. Find somewhere good.

And don't argue with me on here or I'll fucking delete your ass.

By Cam on Sunday, December 16, 2001 - 01:31 am:

Let's go where we're all equal! Let's go to Coping where no message can be delated, no IP numbers unveiled! yeah right.
Skrooie dear, as much as I love you, I arrived on here 1 wee year after you only...I know that time must have seemed long without me but still...

By Keondra on Sunday, December 16, 2001 - 02:08 am:

Hey man I said, "Fuck Blurchat" over a year ago. I would have thought that shit would have been deleted years ago. I've been perfectly sane ever since I left that shithole. I even found a cure for cancer!

By Skrooie on Sunday, December 16, 2001 - 02:23 am:

LOL

There you have it. Unfortunately I also tried to leave around two years ago but now Marion brings that shithole back into my shithole every day and night.

By chut on Sunday, December 16, 2001 - 12:15 pm:

What I particularly object to is the rampant dishonesty of the whole thing. I mean, let's be honest, okay, I'll start again there.

My main gripe is people blatantly using more than 1 window to allow them to use different names, and insulting each other. This is so transparent! The solution? Ban them for an initial period of a week, note their i.p., and if they continue after 1 week, ban their ass(es) for life.

Secondly, people lurking. And seemingly gaining credit for it. Anyone who does that whilst being a mod is abusing their position. Admittedly, as it appears Sean runs the show, it may only be just he calls the shots, but morality and decency must prevail. I feel it only fair everyone shows their hand. Obviously people will be opening other windows to do other stuff. In my case, play Solitaire for example. But I must say I object to folk sitting in the background, clearly reading, and 'chippping-in' whenver their name is mentioned, that is deceitful. A list of names down the side would get my vote.

Lastly, while round at Skroo and Cam's last night, or the night before, I noticed that only 2 people were banned. I mean, come on. We all know there are multitudes of wee nipples coming on there wasting our time. What's wrong with cracking the whip a bit? I can guarantee that more than 2 people have mis-behaved on there. I've seen rampant sexual expliticism (if that's a real word), homophobic views being expressed, not to mention the less than small matter of racism. One of the events which annoyed me most was, however, when some dick filled multiples of the entire screen with pasted-in nonsense. Repeatedly. If I had printed out that entire posting, it would have used enough paper to cover Vanessa Feltz' girth.

The solution? more cracking of the whip, and a two-teir management structure, with Sean at the helm as General Manager, and Skroo as the hands-on (don't take that literally) moderator, cf. Alex McLeish.

By Sean on Sunday, December 16, 2001 - 12:37 pm:

erm, i apologise for bothering to put up blurchat on the web again and is being deleted as we speak.

By Sean on Sunday, December 16, 2001 - 12:40 pm:

nah , only joking!
Its Simon who actually re-wrote the script and gave us this re-vamped BC and i suppose there are quite a few mods now, but look at it this way - you are a mod of coping and your girlfriend is a mod of BC - together you will take over the world.

By chut on Sunday, December 16, 2001 - 12:43 pm:

By Lukas on Sunday, December 16, 2001 - 12:51 pm:

Mandy and Dippy are mods? When did that happen? Oh dear me.

Maybe if I meet up with Sean for the day I could become a mod?

By Sean on Sunday, December 16, 2001 - 12:54 pm:

The more moderators there are the more moderated BC is. If it was just Jamie moderating it , no-body would ever be banned. Myself, i only go on it at weekends and Simon seems to be busy quite alot. so we have Cam, who can't always be on it , and now darren, who when he is on i am sure will be able to ban someone when they are out of line etc. If it was just me i would dictate everything and really piss everyone off. Plus this way other more stricter moderators will ban someone another wouldn't and others will be less harsh on people- a much more fairly moderated place i think you'll agree?!

By Simon on Sunday, December 16, 2001 - 01:58 pm:

I don't think we really need moderators anyway. It is getting a little out of hand. There is another chat layout we could use - no banning at all, but there can be more than one room. If someone makes an arse of themself, change rooms. There's also private messages, which I don't particularly like the idea of, but maybe others will. It also lists the names of people logged on, and the IP of someone if they're lurking. There'd be no moderator, save Sean who'd make the changes about room names/colours etc.

Does that sound better? Would everyone be happier?

By Chris on Sunday, December 16, 2001 - 02:18 pm:

Got to agree with Chut, there, guys.

By tracey on Sunday, December 16, 2001 - 03:36 pm:

I think I would make a good moderator ! , I come to BC quite regulary , so I would like to have a go at moderatoring go on!! let me !!!

By Skrooie on Sunday, December 16, 2001 - 03:49 pm:

That picture was fucking funny. Hahah

By Butter~G'rilla on Sunday, December 16, 2001 - 08:06 pm:

This reminds me of when I was a 13 year old indie KID. I gravitated toward a little clique in the city known as the GPO-ers, despite the obvious futility of such an undertaking, given that the "credible" GPOers who'd been there for years would sooner have spat on me & my Apeish ways before accepting me within their court, azzatwirré. Me being a newie, and all. THEY were, at the least, 16 year olds and, as I too could see, far cuter and hotter and better than I was. Forsooth, as the months went by, the inmates over-ran the asylum and behold! - I became part of that GPO Imperial Elite!!1 As the oldies drifted off in disgust, "try harder, honey" became - in time - the catch-all amongst us whenever we'd spot some poor "newie" lurking tremulously in upon OUR vista. We who'd been headin' down the city GPO for in some cases, nearly a year would see these "newies" as parasitic fungi. In an ironic way, we became the pretentious elitists we'd once emulated (though for different reasons). It was a little bit like "Animal Farm".

My point (and I do have one), is that chatrooms like BC always seem more exciting when you've just discovered them, but after a time, as more newies conglomerate into the "scene", they do indeed seem like dreary replicas and the entire chatroom seems boring. So I know what Skroo means and recognise the feeling, but I wouldn't say BlurChat now isn't "real". It's just mainly full of "newies".

Plus I must agree with Cam (like a true SISTAH!) ... why shouldn't she be a moderator, just because Skroo was there first? Longevity doesn't signify credibility, as I can attest. (Hur Hur.)

And Chut, I don't quite see your point about lurkers/screen-spies. Nobody did that in the original BlurChat? My boyfriend lurked on me in the old BlurChat, without logging in, and saw enough to dump THIS zero and get a hero!!1 (Well, more or less.)

By Skrooie on Sunday, December 16, 2001 - 09:59 pm:

Fucking newbie.

By dippy on Monday, December 17, 2001 - 12:37 am:

ok, ill just say a few words here.

i know what you all think of me..and you are all entitled to your own opinion

but how can you call me childish, this is getting like a primary school playground for fucks sake!!

the whole "i was here first syndrome" that is what happens in the playground. but in the "real world" thats not how things are, people join companys, groups after long serving employees/members, and still progress quicker, wether its right or noit is not an issue, people have to deal with it.

im not saying i deserve to be mod, and youre probably right i don't, but i am, and if sean wants to change that he can!! he has the power, i dont, i can ban people, and unban them, and write in different colours, its still me, im not gonna abuse that, i may have messed around with chris, and i actually thought Lukas had a sense of humour. and being human ive made mistakes, and i say things i dont mean, just like everyone else.

but i am in total shock of this whole thing, to me it seems like it's been taken WAY out of proportion, and is getting stupid, and to me THATS ruining BC, not anything else, and i actually KNOW mandy and know she will make a GREAT mod, cant say that about me cos i don't know, but i always try to be reasonable and let people have their own opinion's, i think you should at least stop pointing the finger at people without giving them a chance, to me THAT IS CHILDISH and IMMATURE!!!

so this whole topic........MY ARSE (sorry fred but i cant think of a better phrase right now)

By Butter~G'rilla on Monday, December 17, 2001 - 12:38 am:

Who, me?

By dippy on Monday, December 17, 2001 - 12:41 am:

not you butter, and not everyone!!! well i hope not anyway

By Butter~G'rilla on Monday, December 17, 2001 - 12:43 am:

Woah ~ Simultaneous Post City, man. I was replying to Neil calling me a fucking newbie. Dippy posted one minute sooner.
How about DAT?

By dippy on Monday, December 17, 2001 - 12:44 am:

and for the record noone here that i know of has been banned, and all you have to do is dial up again, unless your unlucky enough to have a static IP connection!!! dear dear

the whole banning thing is just to stop eediots logging in and completely fill the screen with CAPS crap, which stops people chatting properly, so with moderators being there most of the time, i think that the chat can only get better, and be improved

LOL @ butter, you waiting for me to post that??

By dippy on Monday, December 17, 2001 - 12:46 am:

oops sorry :D!! hehehe

Wavelengths - they get everywhere it seems

By Skrooie on Monday, December 17, 2001 - 02:42 am:

Yeah yeah, we've seen this all before. Remember when Liam Gallagher was the new kid in town and he said that George Harrison was a fucking nipple and he was going to hold him up with a left hook ? Well, thats you and me, that is.

Soon I'll be dead and you'll be saying 'What a fuckin diamond."

By Butter~G'rylla on Monday, December 17, 2001 - 03:52 am:

We ARE meant to catch that little pun at the end there, are we not, Skrooie?

Like many people here and elsewhere, I've said and done stupid things, had horrible hairdo's, told lies, made myself look stupid, gotten shit both deserved and undeserved, participated in Coping hoaxes, but I'm a fucking newbie into the bargain? SURELY that was tongue-in-cheek? I've been haunting this dive since about Dec1999/January 2000, fer Godsakes! And the point I tried to make wasn't THAT banal, either.

Besides, I did say I knew where you were coming from.
Okay, I'm beginning to descend into Paigeisms, so I'll quit while I'm befuddled.

I don't care who's a moderator, btw. I don't often go to BC any way, but the only practical benefit I can see from it is being able to hide your IP number. Woopee.

By The Occifer on Monday, December 17, 2001 - 07:34 am:

Are you people serious? Who fucking cares.
I think BC should be left as it is.

By caramel on Monday, December 17, 2001 - 08:34 am:

Haha. Good old BC. I've been around this place since 97 and I have to laugh because It is like a soap opera in Its own little way.
I've made some great friends here and hope one day that we can all get together and have a good old chuckle at this place. BC/Coping has bought together people from all around the world, so It has It's positive side :o)
Take care Copers and chatters alike!

Who's had horrible hairdos?
Apart from me now, obviously

By Skrooie on Monday, December 17, 2001 - 09:05 pm:

I just had a total Scrooge-like Xmas moment there. After mumping and grumping to myself all day about what I was gonna come back on here and say, I got home to find my computer wouldn't load windows.

Despite all the frustration I feel and bad vibes I have towards certain people or things online, I was utterly dismayed by the idea of not being able to come back on at all.

Luckily, I showed patience and it all came back eventually. I'm happy now.

Let me clear a few things up. Yeah, I was a bit pissed off when I heard that there were two more mods on Blurchat. I didn't get that Most Outspoken Coper of the Year Award for nothing.

In fact, I'd like to thank John, aka Chut Marshall, for teaching me to say what I think, be it ignorant, arrogant or just plain stupid. If it's what I'm thinking, I can say it. I never used to, I used to let people piss me off forever and just keep quiet. At the end of the day, they probably went home thinking they were top dogs and everybody loved them, when I wanted them to piss off and die but just didn't say it. At the end of the day, who is the one lying in bed thinking 'What a bastard Mr X is...' ? Me. Whilst Mr X is sleeping sound thinking he's the bees' ?

Anyways, yes, a lot of what I said was tongue in cheek. Glad some of the less immature and childish of you picked up on that.

To be honest, a lot of what I said was intended to stir up controversy. Marion was sitting right behind me watching me type, so I got more and more into it just to wind her up. Why do you think she was so eager to get on right after me and post her reply ? I was pulling her chain somewhat.

Obviously, it's fairly ludicrous for me, a Coping mod, to say that theres no equality in Blurchat or whatever. Was the blatant irony of "And don't argue with me on here or I'll delete your ass" missed by everyone ?

I was merely trying to take the perspective of the average everyday chatter. Why should there be chatters amongst us with a wee red star and those of us without ? I find the concept repulsive. It's like when you go into KFC and certain members of staff have "All Star" on their badge and others have merely "Star." At least in KFC there is an opening to better yourself and gain promotion through the ranks.

What is the criteria for promotion in Blurchat ? Meeting Sean in the pub ? Come on. Soon you'll get Micky Maybrick calling Sean a geezer across the street and having access to everyone's Blurmail that very evening.

On the topic of newbies, I have to say I actually have no bias towards chatters old or new. It's true, I have in the past pined for days of old, but Butter was right when she talked of the excitement of discovering BC at first and what have you. In recent times, perhaps not publicly, but certainly privately (ask Marion or Chut) I have realised the error of my ways on this subject : most of the old Blurchatters have actually turned out to be bigger disappointments than the current lot.

I think perhaps expectations were so high when I just started out, now the realisation sinks in that everyone is just in it for themselves, or until they get a better offer (a girlfriend, a boyfriend, a job, a life or whatever) and no-one can be relied on.

I had no expectations from the "newbies" if thats what we're calling them, except perhaps for them to be uninteresting, unintelligent, unsophisticated, uncaring, unreal. Some have lived up to those expectations, some have surprised me and turned out to be really nice.

I was not making reference to the Blurchat at www.blurchat.com being fake because the old guard are no longer there. I was suggesting that it is not the same physically, as it is located at an entirely different location and is technically very different. There were no Star Wars back then, Jamie was the sole moderator and he carried out his role with grace and asked for no recognition. No star, no bestowing of power, no cliques, no class divides. Just everyone getting along.

Well, sometimes.

And I still think the appointing of Dippy is a woeful mistake. Sean, haven't you been watching Star Wars at all ? He is Anakin Skywalker and you are Ben Kenobi. I am Yoda. Much fear I sense in Dippy. Teach him you shall not.

By dippy on Monday, December 17, 2001 - 09:53 pm:

you sad sad jealous tosser skrooie

By Paige on Monday, December 17, 2001 - 10:14 pm:

*shrugs* You need to let it go, Skrooie.

By Skrooie on Monday, December 17, 2001 - 10:25 pm:

LOL Ok. I doubt that's Dippy tho.

Or Paige.

By Butter~Mobile on Monday, December 17, 2001 - 10:45 pm:

Sorry, the above "Paige" post was just me being an ASS.
Skroo, I completely agree about that "wee red star" business. I recall an interchange between Marion and Johnathon Scamp on some long forgotten topic where they were expressing similar sentiments.

And my adolescent indie kid analogy seemed a little bit silly & prim, reading back on it. For that I apologise. I've recently come to terms with the fact that I am not and never will be a Coper who talks sense and for that also I apologise to you all.

Actually, I think it's Coping that's stuck its head down the hole in space in recent months. It's not the "Wars" but all these nonsensical characters who keep writing one or two lines of boffle on a couple of topics, then don't even have the patience to hang around long enough to build up a cult following. But that's a whole other tin of torrid trout...

By dippy on Tuesday, December 18, 2001 - 12:38 am:

and the above definitly wasnt me, glad you noticed that skroo

Okay, I can't belive Darren is even a mod , hes a good mate but he dosen't even like blur that much as the other people in blur chat do ,and I am slightly peeved at the fact that I have been a blur fan for over 6 years and I dont even get to be selected a mod at ALL !! wheres the fairness in that? I get to loose to a person who thinks he likes blur a lot hmmm none at all I thinks . . . . sorry I just had to say how I felt.

By 1 very peeved blur chatter on Tuesday, December 18, 2001 - 09:38 pm:

And another thing , I can't belive I have been going in to blur chat for as long as Mandy and Darren have and STILL haven't even been asked to be a mod !! , just because they went to the meeting they get selected as mods, I dont see the fairness in that at all I am speaking for all the other blur chatters out there as I know they think the same.

By BIG BRETT on Tuesday, December 18, 2001 - 10:39 pm:

CAN I BE A MODERATOR?

LIKE SKROOMAN SED!
"JESUS CHRIST, BIG FUCKIN BRETT SHOULD HAVE MORE CLOUT THAN DIPPY"

AND I THINK SKROO AND CHUT SHOULD BE MODERATORS COS THEYRE IN A BAND LIKE ME WHICH MAKES US BETTER THAN ANY OF THOSE MOD MUPPETS! HAHAHABOOMBOOM!

By Simon [Pieman] on Tuesday, December 18, 2001 - 11:18 pm:

Not meaning to sound harsh or anything Tracey, but there's no real selection process, and it has nothing to do with liking Blur. It just kinda happens for whatever reason, and whining about it generally isn't one of those reasons.

The whole moderator thing is having a shake-up anyway. Say goodbye to the red stars shortly.

And I think Darren first frequented the chat a lot earlier than you, Tracey. He first appeared around a year ago, maybe more, but took a long break in the middle.

By Tracey on Tuesday, December 18, 2001 - 11:45 pm:

I wasn't whining, I was simply having my say as did Chut and Skrooie.

I dont.

Anyhow, I was wondering what the fook "handbagging" meant. How do I know who I want to handbag if I dont even know what it is? And what if I want to handbag more than one person? I clicked on Ana's name for the sheer hell of it, & then it said, "Thanks for voting, Ana!" I'd just like to take this opportunity to assure you that my name is Quintal, not Anastasia!!1 Hehe. Gremlins in the system? Earlier it wouldnt let me vote, saying that I'd already voted. I was cussing.
The person winning at the moment (Thu 15:18 Blur Chat Time) might not be happy with the way you've written their name, btw... Secrets, secrets.)

I hope, Skrooie, that your reference to 'old blur chatters turning out as disappointments' does not include my humble self. Although i am often disappearing and reappearing in this place like a magician's assisstant....or rather, the husbands of the magician's assisstant.....i have remained constantly faithful to this place for six years.....perhaps nearing seven now. I am not meaning any of this in anger, my dear Skrooball. Just posting my thoughts as i usually do, tho some of them range from the sublime to the rediculous.

I must add, also, that although I too pine for the old days, I am happy to see the next generation grace these hallowed halls and I am very pleased to know most of them....aside from the usual lot of tossers you get in every crowd, they are very agreeable people and I am glad to have come to know them.

But, also, it is nice to see one or two of the old crowd hanging around and, i must admit, it is interesting to see what they have become over all these years. And, i do agree with you there, Skroo. Most of them *are* disappointments. But, we cannot change the course of time, these things must happen to keep society operational....or so i believe.

By Sean on Thursday, December 20, 2001 - 01:23 pm:

Okay Sarki, upon your request I'll help you keep this topic going.

To my way of seeing things, Blur Chat of late has been revived into a young, vibrant, thriving metropolis. Things are happening, new people are coming, old people are dropping in & things are constantly changing and improving. Admittedly, not everything works or appeals to everyone, but in general I think that change is for the better. Coping, on the other hand, speaks for itself... Not even the trotting out of an abusive poster is working this time.
Sentimentality is one thing - Luddism is another. I think something needs to be done about the state of this place before Blur Chat gets criticised.

I know one thing is for sure though: it's lucky sean cant read French!

Up until very recently I'd developed a quasi-comic hatred of this site, a feeling that wasn't there at all in bygone, lighthearted days of yore (bore?).

Almost everyone was split into a few zealous, jealous factions. A few bewildered outsiders popped in warily from time to time, but as someone said the other day, "Coping" became "ugly and cold, cynical". Every little group had a superiority complex about every other little group. There was no camaraderie amongst any of "us" even when there should have been. I say "us" since I didn't even feel camaraderie amongst those who were meant to be "on my side".

Page and/or Kenzie treated me with total contempt, for no reason that I can figure. I wish I could understand it. Was it just cruelty, to humiliate a stranger, to make someone they would never meet feel stupid? To make some duffer like me think he might be an interesting person worth knowing, deserving of R.E.S.P.E.C.T after all? To humiliate me, or what? No explanation, no apology was ever offered, then or afterward. Lukas was the only person who got it worse than me, so far as I know. It was simply never acknowledged.... by anybody.

Harder to understand were the dismissive reactions of Anastasia and Quintal, who still like to imply they "sleuthed" out various bollox about P/K all on their ownsome's. They didn't. They wouldn't even give me a show of PUBLIC SUPPORT by agreeing when I gave vent to a couple of the most patently offensive indignities...that yes, this or that had been REALLY, REALLY annoying. It was as though it had never happened. And they didn't have to say anything here. I've heard barely a peep out of Quintal ever since, and Anastasia now tells me that I "took it too seriously". HA! Me?

The straw that broke the camel's back was Cam, Skroo and Chut's BC Gallery. None of them made clear precisely how it was a smart parody on "what's been going on here", nor why they regarded everyone but themselves within the Coping/BC World with such obvious disdain.

But now, I see how maybe I did take it all too seriously. I don't regard Cam, Skroo and Chut's BC Gallery as a "slur" since, well.....I don't even want to be on their gallery. I don't even want to be on my own! I like Cam, and though I don't know Skroo and Chut, they seem intelligent. I think I understand Ana very well after 6 years, and I no longer feel huffy toward Quintal because I think I downplayed my own emotions, re: Page/Kenzie. So I guess he didn't feel he needed to offer me 'solace'.
In short, I forgive you all for pissing me off! Since you probably had no idea that you'd done so!

All right, I've got the munchies. Goodnight, sweet Copers, and God bless.

Yours Ex-Petulantly,

Scamp!

Are you a gemini?

The gallery was just a gag, cause Lukas seemed to think he had to put multiple pictures of himself on his gallery and only one of everyone else. Lukas took it well and as a result has gone up in my estimation, not that he cares.

It's as simple as that. Nothing to do with Scamp / Ana / Quintal etc etc. Just a bit of a ribbing.

Chill out, son. :-)

He's Libran, Lucky. Interesting question though.
Well, Scampy, I've talked about all that stuff loads with you and been sympathetic, so it's quite bizarre to imply that I haven't.
And when your own Coping Gallery consists of nothing but a picture of a disgustingly filthy toilet, how can you be offended by someone else's? Not that I didn't share your initial feeling. On the surface, the Scottish BC Bonanza Gallery was like the Glascow Three saying, "WE'RE THE COOLEST OF THE COOL AND YOU'RE NOT WANTED HERE!" But the last post contextualizes it. Yi Yi Yi! I never guessed it was any comment about Lukey. Hehe. A satirical Coping Gallery is a groovy idea.

And btw, I never stayed at a hotel called the Flamingo! Tarantula was the name of it! I stayed at a hotel called the Tarantula Arms - yes, a big spider. That's where I brought my victims.

And Scampy, I'll answer that question, "What's wrong with groups like the Weather Underground?" too!!11
The Weather Underground expressed admiration for so-called Manson Family members Susan Atkins, Patricia Krenwinkel and Tex Watson stabbing to death Sharon Tate, who incidentally was 8 months pregnant.

Declared Weather Underground "leader", Bernadine Dorhn: "Wow, dig it, man! First they killed the pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them. They even shoved a fork in the victim's stomach. Wild! The Weather Underground DIG Charlie Manson!"
Sick!

Scampers, I've heard barely a peep out of YOU!

Aah, pardon me. I just thought he might be from the diversity of his post.
