Who really cares? Does it hurt you so much to see a little red thumb above your post? Or do you get really stoked to get green thumbs? If people are driven away by a few red thumbs you probably shouldn't be on the big, scary interwebs anyway.

I vote:

Yes thumbs

if only because I laugh every time I see one of OG SUP's posts red thumbed (although it hasn't been happening so much lately).


Green thumb for you man nice pics mate, great stuff

Thumbing is a simple "agree" or "disagree" statement...without adding more useless text to an argument. It's not always a case of adding an anonymous opinion..

What about this?? A feature where you can click the set of thumbs and a list of who thumbed, both green and red, would scroll down.. This would take the anonymous aspect away, letting people use the tool as a simply to show their support for or against the statement??

If you're not getting some red thumbs occasionally you're trying too hard to please everyone.....

Never thumbed anyone (red or green) and never look if anyone thumbs me. I say what I believe and try my best to contribute as positively as possible.

The only time I get irritated on this forum is with the covert pimping. I don't even bother reading the usual candidates threads anymore as I am simply over it.

That statement sounds inaccurate - that's why I red thumbed your post.

Hey Rob how are you mate Yeah i been knocking the red thumbs back as well when ever I see them as i think they are real lame and just cause trouble for people who actually contribute and enjoy this site and have been members pretty much before anyone really got into sup.
I know who the core group of original lads are I have not been contributing as much any more because of the lame red thumbing of good blokes and cant be bothered with lame ass kids games, if you have something to say, say it and man up you soft c**ks !

If Laurie won't do anything this is the simple way to de power these little "sook pooof nancy boys" so if you see a red just green it and it's gone. If everyone does it there will be no red thumbs anymore.

Rob


Yeah, I'm with you, let's make a stand - let's form into organized digital fight back squads - in contact 24/7 through the latest digital tools available: skype, youtube, twitter, facebook and mobile technology. When we see a red thumb let's all communicate and hit back hard with green thumbs.

Hence why Legion and Doggie don't need thumbs. They also don't need to be able to stand upright. SUP truly is an evolved past time.

This is the alternative to the odd red and green thumb.



With all the comments flying about ... just imagine all these rough, tough, manly, hard as nails surfer dudes sitting at home, sniffling in their beer.

"What's the matter sweetums? Why aren't you playing with your chums on Seabreeze?" "They were mean to me. They red thumbed me. Waaaah!"

Guys this is too funny a bunch of grown men debating about the colour of a thumb on a forum.The red thumbs only hurt the weak.

PT, doggie and Legion ! I welcome their tongue and cheek flip on life.

Some of you guys need to lighten up a tab and some need to join anger management
classes.

Say what you want,pimp your arse off, talk yourself up,its a forum right.

Met a few and found them very nice people, I just got to meet DJ one day and paint one of his many boards another colour other than yellow,just kidding of course.

The forum is fun right, that's what it should be and is to me.

Yeah he (they) only show(s) up when there's something to jump on. Funny little schizophrenic that Legion Dog. I'm sure it's the same person.

Not so sure I'll be too worried about Red or Green Thumbs when I'm in the barrel at Temples next week.....

Either Legion Dog is 1 person or:

- They live together and play dualling lap tops.

- They call or email each other when they know they can stir up the old farts on the SUP forum.

Think about it, you never hear from them but as soon as one of them posts the other is not too far behind. How many threads have you seen with only one of them posting on it??

Spooky huh!
