Bring back red thumbs

Who would have thought red thumbs would divide a nation ?

Hey Scotty, every time you read a topic as above it opens the can.

As CMC said everyone is laughing at this forum,but hey its funny as

It's entertaining. We need to go off topic occasionally for a bit of fun.
I think the 2 most popular posts lately have been "red thumbs" and "bring back Legion" (there goes another can of worms".
Plus Lacey has'nt got Foxtel (you guys might call it Austar). Lacey, how do you do it ? I could'nt rely on just watching 7,9,10 + the 2 government channels.
Just got the hd IQ box put on - can't go back now.

The reds back row have to work harder. Slow to breakdown.

They should introduce brown nose

The red thumbs probably should come back... but you should need 3 red thumbs before it kicks in.

Red Thumbs are actually negative (generally), and some of you (not all of you) probably hand out reds willy nilly, without handing out greens !!

Red Thumbs probably deter people from posting... a little... and without posts, there is NO FORUM !!

Some of the old "reds" were probably personal, and some brand pimping related. Some both !? If the 3rd person dishes out a red thumb, the post probably deserves it! But in the old days, there was some pretty random "single red thumbs" which weren't called for.

Simondo, I would red thumb both your above posts and adapts cause I don't agree with them and couldn't be fagged explaining why.

Ok, I'd red thumb all of adapts posts from now on - until I forget.

Adapt told us he was doing a uni project when he actually is running a sup business - caught out buddy!

Seriously, I think the reason Laurie stopped red thumbs is cause SUP guys are most likely in mid life - they think they are pioneers, but deep down they know they are not.

Their dicks don't work like they used to. Their relationships with their partners and children are not as powerful as they thought. They are realizing that they are slowly becoming invisible - they have taken up sup boarding to make themselves feel better in the hope that younger chicks look at them differently, when the reality is that younger chicks just giggle and cringe.

Men in their mid to late 40's are very vulnerable to criticism and the a red thumb can push them closer to suicide.

Vulnerable people can sometimes equate stupid things to real life - ie:

green thumbs == I'm a winner
red thumb == I'm a loser

Hahaha, Adolf I have to laugh at how much you SEEM to know about me. If you knew so much you would realise that I NO longer own a SUP business and anyone that knows me is aware of this as well, I have nothing to hide (look up the website www.adaptoutdoors.com.au and see if the site is still in operation that will tell you how well the business is going). I made that decision because of a number of reasons, one of them was to go to uni and further my knowledge. I'm the first to admit to my faults/mistakes andin that case I needed more experience in runnning a business, but I gave it a go and learnt alot from the experience.

By the way I don't fit into a single part of your generalisation of the SUP community above, so I ask you, if thats what your opinion is why do you post in here at all? I'm here to chat, learn new things and if I can, pass on something I have learnt along the way.

I was taught that if you have a problem with something speak up about it or shut up and put up with what goes on.

Red thumbs in every forum 'cept SUP
I find that wierd.
Maybe those who SUP take themselves more seriously?


SUP needs red
The forums are out of balance y'know like listening to headphones when only one side works.

Bring back red.

There was too much crying in here, so no red thumbs. Laurie needs to sleep to ya know

Red thumbs discourage ego driven pompous types
However its usually the ego driven pompous types who complain the most about such things.
'cause red thumbs cut, they cut real deep

If we were in the pub and someone shook there head at something you stated would you report it to the bar manager and demand to have head shaking banned?

Red thumbs are the 'breeze way of shaking your head


If a red thumb ruins your world i think you seriously need to look at your world.
Red thumbs aren't real.....
'cept in the SUP forum LOL

So your Mama taught you if you don't have something nice to say, speak up, let's hear it.

i find it weird thats blokes that haven't been heard of for months suddenly appear out of the woodwork to add their 2 cents worth to a forum they don't really give a s### about.

hyenas circling for blood after adolf's drunken profanity riddled rants.

give him his red thumbs back for goodness sake

For the record, I got fed up with all the commercial and childish abuse of the red thumbs in this forum. One crew even had numerous logins and were PM'ing each other to thumb users & topics. Go figure.

how do you know what was being said in PM's?
