I like MM, but I dont like your crap!

[I-5 Apocalypse]

I check this forum almost daily, and I know what goes on here, and who is who. But I rarely make comments. I have been a true Mad Max fan since I was young. My every day driver Is a movie inspired embarasment to my woman. As well as every other vehicle I have owned. When I found this forum, I thought it was the greatest thing since the invention of the mohawk. I THOUGHT it was a place to meet people of similar interests. I havent been a member since the start, I dont own a replica and I couldent travel thousands of miles to one of your events to kiss the a$$ of someone who is in your group of cool kids. I dont know exactly how you're keeping score or rank. Why do you degrade "newbies". Just because he hasent watched it in slow mo zoom, or realized you already had a discussion on the chronological order of the filming process. The movies are great for everyone to enjoy, so please quit detering potentially interesting people. If you dont like what I say, tell me I am wrong. After you kiss my a$$less chaps.

You actually own A$$less Chaps?





Seriously, though.. I agree..


I've seen too many new folks run off of too many message boards to count.





I figure anyone worth sl*gging off is worth educating.





If they're not worth educating, they're not worth any reply at all to their messages.

[Foxtrot X-Ray]

Oh, Cool..


The board software censored "sl*gging"





Bahahahaha!!

Come on now...you've seen the new member count jump by at least ten people a day. You've seen the Fallout from the Gordon postings. You've seen veterans hiding behind a "newbie" name just to cause trouble. You know that there are people who come across as "bullies", but try seeing their point of view through their blunt typing style and heavy opinion instead. This forum is in the middle of a Cold War, caused by people who love to just cause grief and angst. When "newbies" come on and ask what may seemingly be a "typical" newbie question, people immediately put up their defenses, thinking it's one of a handful of those that are just here to rock the boat. Look at your register date and number of postings...looks to be like one of the recent rash of people signing up, and thus could be "percieved" to be one of the rebel rousers, and maybe that's why you're getting the cold shoulder from some. You should know this already.


So what if you don't have a replica. So what if you don't have the money to travel halfway around the world. You're still a FAN...but to go off half-cocked, blurting something like this, is sure to bring nothing but bad replies and even more of the "you're out there with the garbage" type response.


I personally take offense to the whole "Cool Kids Club" comment. I'm $4000.ooUS in debt because of a once or twice in a lifetime trip, simply because another FAN invited me. He could have been selfish and went on his own, but he was a mate and FELLOW FAN and shared the opportunity. Yes, it was incredibly "cool" to see the sights of the country, and visit the filming sites, and meeting some of the people responsible for making the film possible, and yes, it was "cool" getting to meet people halfway around the world in person and being able to match their screen name to an actual face from (imagine this) the MadMaxMovies FAN site, but most of us were posting pics and telling stories, trying to share with others our personal experiences and enthusiasm, not to "keep score" and rub it in everyone elses faces that couldn't be there. That statement just wasn't fair.


Things might improve once the new site is set up and the powers that be are able to regulate the member list, keeping the "trash" out. So in the mean time, calm down, come in by the campfire and roast a couple of marshmallows, because your "barometer butt" is turning blue. Besides, I'd only want to kiss Lusty Girls arse in assless chaps.





PS: "Barometer Butt" is what the directors called Wez/Vernon Wells, because the movie was shot in the winter, and when his butt turned blue, they knew it was too cold out to continue shooting, and called it quits for the day...in case you didn't know.

My intention was not to tick anyone off, or make waves. Possibly, I dont even think most of what I said. I was just reading through the Thunderdome topics previously to my last post, and got a little excited. I just wanted to see what you had to say. I am glad that somebody made replies, for or against. And you mean that assless chaps arent the uniform?

[Big Bopper Bart]

I-5 your right about some things in your rant.some folks on here and i won't name names think thier Jesus Christ Mad Max becuase they met a few celebs that were in the films or were part of making the films.Or people that own replicas of the cars from the films.Now some are very generous when it comes to sharing info about the films and the makers of them or sharing info about thier replicar cars or props ect. while others have this 'king sh*t' attitude.This forum used to be an'everybody's forum and now its more of a 'cliquish forum' loaded with barnicle bills and keyboard commandos.

Thunderdome may not be the best place to get an impression of members. It is a place where people blow of steam with each other so it doesn't carry over to the rest of the forum. Doesn't always work that way but that was the idea.


Do yourself a favor and don't over generalize.

I generally prefer Jeans, t-shirt and a ballcap, meself.





230 pound forklift drivers should avoid assless chaps.


Besides.. the Missus wouldn't let me own any even if I were so inclined.

[The Sockpuppet]

Sound like little Bart's having a dummy spit.


All i can see is people who attended the Easternats weekend had a good time and shared it with everybody else, whats so 'cliquish" about that ?


while others have this 'king sh*t' attitude, who would that be Bart ?


i won't name names think thier Jesus Christ Mad Max, becuase they met a few celebs that were in the films, Are you for real ?


Bart, dont give people a hard time just because they are sharing their experiences with everybody. I am sure if they didn't post anything from the Easternats you would be on their backs about that too. Get a grip and just apologise to everybody for your little outburst princess.


I don't want to speak to you about this again.
