Then you're in luck! There's an awesome new forum right here just waiting to accept you with open arms*!
http://offtopic.phphope.net/
It's definitely not a Countdown forum, although it is largely populated by the dregs from this place, plus Howard and Gavin and a few others who are okay. From what I can gather, Richard Brittain, Sue Sanders and Derek Hazell run it. DOESN'T IT ALREADY SOUND GREAT?
(*Provided you hate Charlie Reams!)
Yes, it's not a Countdown forum, but you can discuss all kinds of enlightening things, like ...er... food, and other things that Sue Sanders will allow! Most of all, YOU CAN SAY HOW MUCH YOU HATE CHARLIE FUCKING REAMS!! You don't even have to write his full name, you can call him CR or Reams, and everyone will know instantly who you're talking about, and instantly side with you in whatever vitriol you feel like venting at him! And the best thing is - HE CAN'T SEE IT. Well, actually, anybody can see it, but he can't reply, because it's not his forum! DOESN'T THAT SOUND GREAT?
Yes, this is a forum where there'll be no infighting, and everyone will be nice to each other provided you remember to ALWAYS HATE CHARLIE FUCKING REAMS! It'll be a little bit like this forum but without the hatred, only with loads of hatred but all directed at one person who isn't there!
You can be sure of a warm welcome, even if you're somebody who signed off from here by saying:

Time to go.

I had previously posted (briefly) in The Other Place but I soon found the behaviour of many members there quite wearying... I look forward to taking an active part in discussions, which hopefully on this board wil maintain decorum and good manners with none of the interminable and tedious bickering that goes on elsewhere. Regards to all.
See? Get away from these fucking weirdos now!Allan Harmer wrote:Welcome to the site Andy - It sounds like you will fit like a glove here.
I totally agree with your your assessment of the intolerant members in the other forum.
Here's a little selection of the gems you can enjoy if you sign up today:
That's right, Richard Brittain is a mod, and suggests Charlie has no real friends. YES, RICHARD FUCKING BRITTAIN SAYS STUFF LIKE THAT ON THIS FORUM.Richard Brittain wrote:Reams is an exceptionally hateful individual. A very nasty piece of work; probably the most genuinely hateful person I've ever known. I've always given Reams plenty of space to repent and reconcile, but he always finds a way to twist things in his favour. He has an enormous ego. Unfortunately, I think he never goes outside, and only has online friends, so he just lives in a bizarre little bubble world and doesn't need to think about anyone but himself. But that's no excuse for being nasty; I've seen it enough times now - in any argument he will do his best to bring the opponent down emotionally, even if it's a woman, rather than honestly debate the actual subject matter. I have nothing but condemnation for him - he's very sneaky too, he isn't even aggressive in an up-front manner. He is capable of being friendly in short bursts in reality, as he has alluded to before, but don't be fooled by this.
Make up things about Charlie Reams and write them here with impunity!Sue Sanders wrote:That would suggest Charlie has love and respect for his family. Do we have any evidence that he has?
Again, that's right. Richard Brittain is accusing others of a warped mind.Richard Brittain wrote:Countdowners usually have warped minds, but that group of self-obsessed nerds on the C4C forum are warped in the extreme. There is nothing you can say to them that will make them see what they are. Watching them gradually all gang up on you like a pack of hyenas was both bizarre and disgusting. I think Derek is right in suggesting that Reams is deeply insecure behind his front, but I think it can be said for a lot of them. That many of them let the herd mentality overcome them so easily hints at a deep void within their personas. You're not the first person that group has suddenly decided to savage, and you won't be the last. I hope for their sakes that they at some point grow up and see what they are, especially Reams, because if they don't - they will never change.
See? You can vomit forth utter hate-filled abuse, far in excess with what you'd get away with on here!! Remember also not to be ugly:Sue Sanders wrote:I do try and hold back about the 'Other Place' but do think I'll just take this opportunity to screech - God, Reams continues to be a twat!!
That's right - you can write nasty shit about contestants! You can call contestants ugly, even if you're repulsive yourself! And they won't stumble across this forum because it's NOT a Countdown forum. It's a ..er.. forum about....Sue Sanders wrote:Blimey - the ugly stick has been welded with relish on today's contestants!
There's only one rule, DON'T take Sue Sanders on like she tried to take Charlie on:
but you are encouraged to troll here:Sue Sanders wrote:Anyone coming on making trouble will feel the wrath of one of my polite polls about what we should do to crush them!
Julie T wrote:Wind up Damian time. Anyone fancy joining in?
I dunno what cruxify is, but I'm sure it's bad!Sue Sanders wrote:Really, what we should do it all go back on c4c en masse and cruxify him
The real beauty is that you can continue to use this forum (provided you don't publicly flounce off), PLUS you can also still use the awesome apterous that Charlie wrote and maintains almost entirely single-handed. That's right, we've checked with the legal department and HATING HIS FUCKING GUTS and SPEWING BILE about him on this new forum DOES NOT affect your rights to benefit from his hard work! ISN'T THAT GREAT? If you do continue to use C4C though, all Sue asks is that you don't agree with Charlie on anything, otherwise (regardless of how many times you've publicly disagreed) you might go, for example, from:
to:Sue Sanders wrote:We should invite Damo to our little forum!
Sue Sanders wrote:...Damo slavering over Reams is really more than I want to have to read.
Matthew could call the baby 'Charlie' and let Damo clean its arse with his tongue.
Still, Damian isn't shown in a great light by Clive Brooker either:Sue Sanders wrote:I'm pleased to see how inconspicuous Reams is on aptochat. Not sure he can stop wanking Damo off long enough to get involved in chat.
Clive Brooker wrote:Needless to say DE is the "one source" I referred to. I do apologise for not backing you up publicly this occasion. I was guilty of hesitating too long as usual.Julie Taylor wrote:I'd already made up my mind before not to apply till Damian 'the arsehole' goes. It's got to happen sometime.
Yesterday on the c4c forum Damian said "Gavin and Julie, the gruesome twosome, who between them have so few brain cells they know them all by name."
Just confirms that I was right.
I still think that you're in danger of cutting off your nose to spite your face. Damian's been there a long time and is evidently delivering what his masters want, so why would anyone want him to leave? What I will do is PM you with my experience of the gentleman on my recording day. I still intend to publicise this more widely with an addition to Mike Brown's "experiences" page, something which I've started a few times. It's all about finding the right angle, but my view does shift over time.
ZOMG Damian didn't speak to him. He'd best not lose their support, or they won't have an audience, as Derek says about the upcoming finals:Clive Brooker wrote:What the hell - here will do!
As briefly as possible: the contestants had all made it to the green room, and were sussing each other out (do I need that strategic migraine or not?). DE marched into the room, and I naturally expected him to welcome us and wish us all good luck. Instead he blanked everyone, made straight for the four-time returning champion, Jacqueline Baker, chatted to her like an old friend for a few moments, then disappeared again. My immediate thought - what an ignorant pillock.
I was actually quite upset, but obviously didn't want to let it bother me. When I had the chance, I mentioned it to my "minder" (forgotten her name, but she was very nice). She said (rough paraphrase) that he's an Asperger's sufferer, and he knows it does sometimes get him into trouble. So perhaps that's all it is - whenever he's a pain he's best ignored. Not always easy though.
because all the audience come from c4c. That's right!Derek Hazell wrote:So, apart from Howard (and apparently Richard Priest and Dinos as well) nobody then? I don't think I will be going after all, as it's just to close to my last trip up there. Looks like it's going to be a pretty low turnout this year, and still no mention at all at the other place. Would be pretty bad if they had to pad out the audience with crew members for a final!!
Finally, all good forums need humour. If you don't agree with Sue's sense of humour, you might find yourself driven off the forum like mr ultraviolet by lines such as:
Sue Sanders wrote:I think being too funny might be the least of your problems ....or maybe our problems.
Feel free to have another go, though, I'm happy to continue judging you harshly
but if not then you can laugh at Sue's jokes, such as:Sue Sanders wrote:Yep - my first impression was right. It's not funny, mate. I expect you're often heard to declare 'dont mind me, I'm mad'.
You're not.
You're delusional.
That's right! She's mocking... oh wait, most of the people on her forum. Whoops!Sue Sanders wrote:I hate you all. I'm flouncing off!
Erm.Sue Sanders wrote:I made a rather splendid 'Bakewell' tart for my Dad the other day. Instead of making in in a pastry case, I made it in a shortbread biscuit case. It was very delicious, though I say it myself.
I have presented 'Bakewell' thusly, because I'm not the Bakewell tart shop in Bakewell so can't call it a Bakewell tart. And that's fair enough because my tart, splendid as it is isn't a patch on theirs.
Oh, and bye to Julie T and James Doohan. They're leaving here apparently. Julie was contemplating doing an advert for THE NEW FORUM, so I thought I'd save her the bother. I dunno much about James Doohan, but I'm guessing he's a prick too. SEE YA.
So there you go. It's a teeny bit like here, except it's not a Countdown forum, it's a *mumbles incoherently*, but with Sue being more power-crazed and hate-filled than Charlie could ever dream of getting. That address again: http://offtopic.phphope.net/
Jesus, what a bunch of retards. Have a word with yourselves. Can you not see any hypocrisy? REALLY?
