Is Bluelight dying ?

I really want to ask you something and have no clue how to contact u


You have a couple of options

On a thread where somebody is talking you can left click on the username and you get a list of options - View Profile, Private message etc

Simply Left Click the Send Private message and this will take you to your profile private message page.

Second Option (more fiddly)

Click the 'My Profile' option top right, this takes you to your profile page, then on the left hand side you have send message - enter the users name that you want to message.

As a 'Greenlighter' (somebody with less than 50 posts) your PM's are limited to one every hour or so.
 
I can chuck it in the 'how can we improve Other Drugs?' thread if you like?
I smod there too, so y'know - no stress :)
It's a suggestion that comes up all the time - splitting OD into categories.
Yes please bro. You are up early!
 
Just popped in and saw this thread - it's interesting because as someone who rarely come here now what I see is many posters who were around up until i left have also drifted away, and before that, but new poeple seem to have come in so not dying just changing.

For me I have nothing more to say really that hasn't already been said, in the few years i posted, and you end up repeating yourself or others
 
All good mate - I can honestly say that in the last 6-12 months things are back to 'normal' proper gear and stones at decent prices (£15 for .3 of either and deals on volume). Just got some oxy's so enjoying them at the mo' good to have a change of opiates/oids and to give my lungs a break as have a continual phleghm(sp) type cough - one advantage of shooting but with only the groin left thats not an option.

In touch with a couple of ex-posters - but re the thread there does seem to be less traffic.

Two questions: the residue in the tooter, what % of gear is in it? (i estimate about 40% less than what you started with) be good if someone got it tested.
and
I use a hash pipe with metal scrubber stuff in the bowl for smoking w but never seen anyone else do this - a martell bottle isn't exactly handy - wondering why more dont do this, or do they?

Will pop in and reply and read replies soon.

Hope alls well with you matey.
 
I see this thread and I think the OP may have meant "Is EADD dying"? And I find it hard to disagree when the last post before this one, in the whole forum, was made 4 hours ago.

Others have suggested we've reached some sort of plateau. That other forums, with the advent of other social media, are dying too.

I think Urban75 totally disproves that theory. Largely, if not wholly, UK based it shows no such fall in traffic as EADD. So that's a direct like-for-like in many ways. Sure, Urban only has a small drugs forum, of which current and ex-EADDers make up a part, but it's political sections, it's arts sections etc show no such fall in traffic. It's a shame in many ways. Their politics section is largely dominated by Trots and Anarchists arguing with each other. Our CEP is full of white supremacists from America. Clique vs Fascism. It's not a nice decision. But, undeniably, their politics section is vastly, vastly superior to ours in terms of traffic.

We've suffered two years or more of people being turned away from EADD by ongoing events. It would be nice for 'the management' to acknowledge that and that they got it wrong with regard to a couple of people who were allowed, for whatever reasons, to run roughshod over this forum.

One post in 4 hours. Statistically analyse that Ali.

hindsight is 100%.

would we have handled things differently given a chance to go back and do things over? almost certainly.

feel better now?

good.

I know the wine forums i frequent have been heavily effected by social media. One of the busiest basically totally died. These places had tonnes of posts per day. Now nada. So it definitely had an effect. Not saying thats whats totally to blame here but it must have had an effect. Facebook groups etc are the new forums.

For a Director of Communications that's a pretty shit 'business' attitude (isn't that what you strive for?) and about the tenth time I've seen you make such an 'apology' over something. And without dragging up old shit, there is no "hindsight" on my part at all. I even have the infractions to prove it.

But if that's the best you can do...meh. I wish you good luck in the real world should you ever get a job title like you have under your name here.
 
...and about the tenth time I've seen you make such an 'apology' over something.
there are other people here who say i have never admitted i am wrong and have never apologised for a mistake. so you can't both be right :)

anyway, i don't think there's much to be achieved by pointing fingers and trying to apportion blame after the fact but if you would like to continue, don't let me stop you.

No, I'm right. :) And nice to see you're ever gracious.

I'm not trying to apportion blame. I'm pointing out its (now) peak time Friday evening and you have three times as many moderators for the forum as you have contributors.

But yeah. Probably Facebook's fault if we are apportioning blame.
 
I'm not trying to apportion blame.

Yet you are :D

Wait you not - Hang on -Ali (as everyone knows Ali = Bluelight) is to blame for the downturn in posters in EADD - we will blame him but not apportion blame to him.

Shakes an angry (but well manicured) fist at Ali. (and say's 'told you so' )

FFS. Ali has a title under his name. This either means something, as he wants it to, or it doesn't. I'm asking that 'title' for an apology that involves saying 'the management' got it wrong, on several levels. If you, Bear, want to see Ali as BL, that's your concern. If Ali is too unprofessional to recognise what I'm saying, then remove the fucking title, it's a joke to everyone else anyway, not least XTCXTC, the original benefactor of BL, who specifically argued against such bullshit titles. But if Ali wants to retain that, for what can only be his own ego reasons, then do what a businessman with that title would do and act like a PR man. Which isnt what he's doing.

Things went wrong. Badly. For several reasons I'm being polite in not dragging up and going over again in detail. The result is this place is a morgue. If you two both prefer ignoring that and playing politics against me, then that says more about you than me.
 
While I agree with the BS titles other than mine which is pretty badass lol. I'm going to have to lean to alasdairs side here in using caution when using the permaban hammer. Furthermore I highly doubt one crazy ladies drama was the root cause of this forums demise. I would speculate that this forum has been dying for a while for any number of reasons with moderation being the least of it. Moderation kills platforms ie this is why YT and Twitter tread so lightly. Although they are stepping it up now they know it is easy for them to lose ground to the next big social media platform.

i don't think it's particularly classy to speak for a dead man - especially in an attempt to score cheap points - but, as somebody who spoke about bluelight at great length with alan when he was alive, i'm pretty comfortable with my position and his opinion of me.

I'm not trying to apportion blame.
yeah. ok.
