Once an for all - get rid of the thumbs '
If somebody has something to say - say it !
If you like a post but dont feel inclined to post a comment - nod your head approvingly and continue on with your life !

The thumbs are non-constructive and serve no worthwhile purpose - get rid of them IMO

Im sick of the grief they cause people and as such will not be posting again until they are removed from all the forums on this site.

See ya

I agree Billboard however don't threaten your not going to post until they are removed because I cant see Laurie getting rid of them.

The thing that ticked me off last night was I made a positive comment regarding Scotty's post on the disabled surfing topic and got red thumbed for it,It may be a little small minded persons form of fun but I took offence to it due to the topic.

It was a great topic and reply from Scotty and some idiot wants to turn it into a stir.
Just bad taste imo.

Bill - look mate this slimy creep cockroach wants good people like you to be "warned" or "steered away" .... it's his cowardly way of saying he feels left out or he's jealous you've made a few friends (actually you've got many)
Stay here mate please - pup d

IMO the red thumbs go against the sea breeze aim which is to create a fun easygoing forum .

Piss them off would save a lot of aggro , I can't see any positive reason for keeping them

Now here is some non logic

I green thumbed all the posts about getting rid of the thumbs.

Interesting thing was it negated each time a single red thumb vote.

Get rid of the red thumbs I agree if Laurie cant do it maybe replace them with a red nipple the more you click on like the redder and bigger it gets, the more you click on dislike the smaller it gets

Removing the thumb system may entice the red thumbers to "man up" & share their gripe openly.

Ignore them, Little Jack Horner can sit in his corner with his thumb fair up his date as far as I'm concerned.

I think Red Thumbs could probably go... It can be a negative hinderance for some people... Plus some individuals attract reds. Some people might be worried about posting...

Put Simply: at the end of the day, if people don't post, there is no forum. If reds stop people posting, then reds could be removed...

Mac, don't let it get to you.

In terms of "Man-Up - eat some concrete"... I think Mac & Pup are just sick to death of being stalked by reds... enough is enough.

Maybe Laurie (Forum Admin) should be the one to Man-Up!! I would have thought that Laurie could tell who is dishing out the reds... and Laurie should warn that person... if it doesn't stop, it should be a ban. A person like that is not needed on here.

i would agree with you 100% usually. i even gave you a green when you first posted.
yet the essence off the greenroom is of being stoked with mates who do not like the sh1t dribble. we love pics,we love waves,we love how good we used to be...in some cases still are. what we really like is that it is a cool place to waste some time and have a laugh(sometimes learn something) the beer garden as boofy aptly named the place is fun. FUN. so i think thats why some crew are upset that someone is trying to ruin the stoke(no matter how insignificant a thumb is)
if i was 13 still and reading this post....i would stalk myself with reds....if i was still 13

I don't mind the thumbs. I don't see what people get so upset about with them either.

I mean if my missus gave me the thumbs down every time i attempt to show her my manhood I'd be upset but some bloke I hardly know on the internet...... Not so much.


Can I let you in a secret, you might even know it. If you say you hate red thumbs, just for fun people will red thumb you most often for a long time after..........


It's like nicknames. Who ever got one they liked? If you hate it and bite, it sticks.
