What has the UBeaut Bulletin Board Done for you?

[adrian]

The great thing about the site is that everyone's different.
For a novice like me, that means the advice is as diverse as the people.

I found out it was alright to know bugger all about woodworking and that people here (some) actually know what their talking about and are happy to answer dumb questions.

I found out that their are other really weird people in this world (like me) that work in office's but want to spend huge amounts of money making stuff they could have bought for 1/20th of the cost but none of the satisfaction.

I have found out their are people that are stranger than me!!!

This is a big thing because i used to think i was on this planet by myself.

Now I have a foiley (thanks Ubewt) all those voices have gone away!

[ubeaut]

Hmmmm, let me see......

Grey hair, premature aging, headaches, sleepless nights, ulsers and a nervous tic every time I hear certain names mentioned. Increased work load, less free time, more hastles.

Then there's the weekly emails..... approx 20 a week asking why something on the bb doesn't work, 30 asking why their password no longer works, 40 "help I can't.....", 10 "I registered but I can't.....", 30 abusive, whinging or crying emails, 60 emails a week from non members asking me to pass on info to someone on the bb, or wanting an address of a member or wanting to order one of Carba Tecs new thingamajigs from me because they saw it on the forums so I must be Carba Tec.

Reported posts: the best week I've had so far was 52 reported posts that's 104 emails - talk about ya spam.

Laws suits: So far 12 threatened legal actions because, some idiots just have to slag off businesses or individuals on the forums without thought of the consequences. Another 20 or more (that I know of) avoided by swift editing and quick negotiation.

Still looking for an upside......... Nup, can't find one.

Wait a minute....... It's been fun. Does that count?

Thank goodness I have an understanding wife, a and a Shane, otherwise it would all have gone to hell in a handbag ages ago.

Cheers - Neil

Now if I could just find a way of making a cent for each person that visits the forums...... Hmmmm that would definitely make it all worth while.

I know i am reasonably new here, but what the hell is a foily, and where can I get one......
Now where are those pancakes.

[ubeaut]

And what's more......... No muffins at Sydney WWW Show.

Think I'll go and eat worms.

It's just as well cause Darren would have stolen yours and then you'd feel worse.

Now you'll get a whole lot more from those who object to being told to " Do a search".

Bill & Wendy & Cliff and many others have said what matters eloquently ...

info on many things (technique, tools, keeping fingers :eek:, working with what you have .. )
fun ..
that intangible of being accepted

and I had to vote for the foilies & panckes. ???? :confused: ????

[numbat]

What everyone else said - but its great to meet a great bunch of people both online and in person. I have learnt a lot from peoples collective experience and advice. And its not a bad place to hang out with others that share a common interest.

O.K. everyone, his ubeautness says "do a search" is a reasonable response.

I'm going to bookmark his post.

It is the definitive opinion on the need for searching before posting.
