Okay if you have a pair of 35th Suedes, we'll talk.

i think intro threads are important. it's rare to get a good one, but when we do we tend to accept the person right away - I think The Marine is the most recent example
I would be down for not allowing noobs to start a thread for a short time period. Mos def not a post count, though...
RE: Superstar BL5 - Greedy_Genius - 05-03-09
ok, well the first thing i must say is that all you members who are hating, must have nothung to do in life. You say why dont a contribute more? well the simple answer is there isnt anything on this forum apart from a select few that i can contribute to as i don't know anything about superstars, even though i own a few pairs. That is why i ask the question you understand? i have tried to contribute on what i know and you will see that on my post. And another thing is that you say i ask a question and move off? but have i? im still looking on the forum daily, and looking at the new posts that i can contribute to but nothing interests me at all, and there isn't anything that i can contribute to because i dont dedicate me life to Adidas superstars, so no, i don't know everything about them.
Also, forums are on the internet for a reason. They are here to help people, and also to socialize. which is exactly what i came here to do. I wanted help, and it seems it is really hard to get it. And also you say that i should be ignored, well there are around 1500 users on this forum, how many are actually live? and how many actually post? most people probably left the forum because of the forum members with 100+ posts not accepting them, so all i can say is that if you dont make people feel welcome, then this forum will not go anywhere.
And about my intro post. Maybe i want to keep my occupation etc. private. Is it really neccessary to share more information on the forum than what the user wants to share?, because all i can see is that i can introduce my self by saying hi, and then create a thread up showing users that i have all of the adidas supes int he world, which wil ultimately lead to forum users licking my ass, and sorry for the bad language, but half the thing which are being said just doesnt make sense.
RE: Superstar BL5 - Lorrie - 05-03-09
Your point is taken, but you have to also appreciate that we aren't the adidas superstar help desk and we aren't in the business of finding shoes for people. Asking questions like, 'what's the difference between superstar 1s and 2s, please post pics' shows that you obviously care fuck all about the forum because you can't be bothered to do a search.
If you spend some time on the forum you'll find the majority of users are an extremely helpful lot. You'll find that people will get to know you and start PMing you with stuff they find on ebay etc that you might be interested in. But you have to earn that respect.
Most of us don't care how many soops you have, just that you care about them. And if nothing people post interests you at all, maybe this isn't the place for you.

Personally, I found this the most welcoming forum community I've ever been a part of. If you aren't enjoying things here then you don't have to stay. If you want to understand what we look for in an introduction post - there is a sticky in the introductions forum. If you don't know much about superstars or know where to find brand new info on them, you can still contribute to the forum. Posting in the "What Soops I'm wearing" threa or the "look what the postie brung" thread are good examples of threads you can contribute to without a significant amount of knowledge on superstars.
When I came to the forum, I knew pretty much nothing about soops except that the pair I owned was fake. But by reading the threads, using the search function when I had a question and slowly contributing where I could, I was able to enhance my knowledge and thus the degree to which I could contribute. You don't go to a spanish class and then quit after the first day because you don't know any spanish.
Basically, what I'm trying to say is that if you want to become a member of the forum and a part of this community then the option is there.
RE: Superstar BL5 - Samo - 05-03-09
well said reid!
And GG if i remember correctly people did try to be helpful when you joined, myself included... As a rule we are a helpful and friendly lot, but if you dont contribute people arent gonna know you are they? If you dont want to tell us what you do for a living then thats your perogative... but surely you can appreciate that if some one comes along and says "hi my name is joe blogs and i like shoes" it doesnt make much of an intro... We dont want to know your inside leg measurement and whether it hangs to the left or the right, but we are a community and like to know the people amoungst us.
And if you had a look round you would have noticed there are a couple threads about the difference between SS1's and SS2's...
And finally you say you looked around and did'nt see anything that you were interested in? Perhaps you are in the wrong place then?
RE: Superstar BL5 - Minky Starshine - 05-03-09
What they said..how about taking a pic of what superstars you are wearing today,don't have to be rare,clean,have fat laces or any of that,just stick up what your wearing..that's a great way to get good comments(and probably some bad)..but just roll with it..you did well sticking around and posting that comeback...crack on fella..don't be afraid of making mistakes..all of us are still making the odd mistake or stupid posts..there was a post about biscuits alittle while ago..it's not all hardcore...welcome...again
RE: Superstar BL5 - mr.pure - 05-03-09
Gave me a headache reading that.
Did schools stop teaching people how to write ?
As Samo said, if you couldn't find anything in here to interest you, you're in the wrong place.
You received plenty of help but barely even made it in here to acknowledge that help and the intro was fuckin' pathetic.
When people come in here and make an effort to be part of this community, we welcome them with open arms.
When they come in and the best they can manage is "Wah gwarn, me like shooz dem !" we mostly think, fuck off you lazy cunt !
This thread isn't meant as a dig at you per say, it's more of a reflection on the latest tide of shit that's been turning up at the front door.
To be honest, at least you've made 11 posts in 6 days.
That puts you head and shoulders above some people.
We have a serious addiction to these trainers in here, if you don't absolutely share that, you're better off elsewhere, otherwise, keep reading, comment when you've got something interesting to say and enjoy your stay !
RE: Superstar BL5 - streak - 05-03-09
life's too short to read that drivel..
If you ain't interested in joining in.. then just jog on.
RE: Superstar BL5 - Greedy_Genius - 05-03-09
ok, honestly speaking, this guy is gettin on my nuts. "mr pure" unlike you, i dont have a serious addiction for adidas trainers, or for any trainers for that matter, beecause i have better things to do in life than druel over my trainers. And yes, i have a big trainers collection, mostly consisting of NIKES, (what you gonna ban me now?), anyway. all i can say to you is if you dont liek my post or my views, then please dont post, because nothing you say has helped or interested me at all. Youi have the decent people like mink, who advise people on what to do, and come about welcoming, whereas people liek you come about liek total pricks,you are the sort of people who dissapoint forums.
And oh yes, no they never taught me english in school, even though i was born and bread in this country, thats why im writing in japanese.
sorry people for being so childish, but to me these sort of people dont deserve any respect.

RE: Superstar BL5 - Greedy_Genius - 05-03-09
oh look, its streak, the guy with 1000 plus posts, it seems like the more posts a user has got the more of a prick they act like. It doesnt make you better than me but, and dont read my post, infact dont come into this thread if you find it so boring to read my posts, i never asked you to read it. I asked a simple question, which resulted in 3 pages full of crap, and i still havent got my answer.
RE: Superstar BL5 - mr.pure - 05-03-09
Oh fuck off you sad cunt.
RE: Superstar BL5 - Minky Starshine - 05-03-09
Over to you Pure
RE: Superstar BL5 - mr.pure - 05-03-09
I just gave you respect and you come back with that shit.
Bollocks, you're out of here.
