Here is a very brief overview of what is happening to MH.com... work has begun.

General re-design.
ALL Threads to be wiped clean, leaving only the original post intact - for a fresh start.
Many celebrities to be removed completely (those without much comment, unknowns, etc)
EVERY new post to be moderated to strist moderators guidelines to ensure that only QUALITY and NON-ABUSIVE posts get through the system.
Only posts of "annoyance" to be allowed through the system. After all, it is what the site is about and no-one needs to know why someone loves/likes a celeb.
If there is no-one to remove on a given week then the least annoying is removed, therefore making sure at least ONE new space is made available that week.
Front page of MH.com to show the top ten most annoying.

Sounds good but it is a shame all posts are being deleted. There are some genuinely funny comments on there which would be a shame to lose. Also, does this mean you cannot imemdiately post your thoughts, do they have to be submitted? If so this will inhibit usage.

This is very good news indeed.

I'll wait and see, I think.
I agree with pardon? that it'll be a shame to lose a lot of the good stuff already on there, but I guess this is the sacrifice that has to be made to clear a lot of the shite that's been posted.

Now I have a good excuse for repeating some of my old quality rants!
Meh, wouldn't do that really of course, especially as I've now got loads of good new reasons for hating them fuckers Bono, Brandreth, Boardman, McFadden etc! :))

Sounds good to me (shame about the old posts, but who really gives a fuck? Ever bother readin' 'em? YES?! Sad bastard!) and I think it's a great idea to keep it to abusive posts only - I'm not interested in defending ANY cunt on there really, I just want to give the wankers a good shoeing. Just don't bother posting on those you DO like. Sounds simple to me.

Don't know about not allowing people to defend a certain celeb, because some of the funniest posts have come in response to someone trying to defend their idol. Do we assume that everyone who makes the list is automatically more annoying than MH if there are to be no reasons why they aren't?

It's a shame there's no right of reply: "he/she is so sexy"; "you're a cunt, no you're a cunt" get's tiresome but a good refutation of someone's justification for an annoyance can be amusing.

please don't delete all the posts. please?!

All my hard work slagging Stan Boardman off is ruined. (sniff) :(

Fear not - all of this fretting will be forgotten once it's up and running.

Meet the new bile, same as the old bile.

Also, does this mean you cannot imemdiately post your thoughts, do they have to be submitted? If so this will inhibit usage.

Under the new board, your posts will all be moderated. This has become essential due to the sheer number of posts made on the site daily, and because we are looking for quality, rather than quantity. We want the site to be about annoyingness, not a nasty pile of hate bile and vitriol, as it was becoming.

Making all posts moderated will help to ensure that users posts are appropriate and suitable for inclusion. It will also cut out completely pointless posts, so what you get to read will be top notch quality stuff. We hope that it will encourage all users to post their best observations and thoughts, and not get involved with inane banter which runs the risk in spiralling off topic.

Long standing users such as yourself may find the new format a lot to take on board when it arrives, but please bear with us, it will make the board a much more pleasant and entertaining place to be in the long term. The changes we are making will make sure that the board keeps fresh and interesting and that its somewhere that is well known for the quality of its posting members and topical content. Hopefully that will in some way compensate for the losses incurred in the changeover.

I would have to agree with the Moderatred option. It has been Unmoderated in posting and then Post-Moderated to attempt to remove everything that is wrong. The problem with that, is that other posts become based upon it, and thus it's a never ending repeating cycle at times which is completely time consuming.

On your end, you'll have better posts to read, and a better post means a better overall feel. This will obviously lose us a lot of UberTrolls and the like who have loved being free in posting whatever and whenever they like facing the consequences afterwards... This way, they'll face it before. It'll also help some people to put more thought into their posts and strive that bit extra to get a post put through.

On the existing site and the posts made... Maybe an archive could be made ? But that would still require some moderation to remove those that are really not deemed valid to be there still.

As a token gesture to the old MH.com can we just keep the legendary 'such fucker' post on the George Michael thread?

What will I say without defending Vanessa? Don't worry, I won't try to although I'd like to. And some of my proudest Dogbombing memories are on that thread. Oh well, it's for the best I suppose

Andy, you do realise that you won't have any posts on Vanessa's thread now, and will just have to sit back and watch, helpless, as she is torn to shreds by the baying mob? I'm not sure it will be good for you.

As a token gesture to the old MH.com can we just keep the legendary 'such fucker' post on the George Michael thread?

:)) I agree - it should be on the home page as a taster of the madness that lies within.

it is, it's here (http://board.dogbomb.co.uk/showthread.php?t=12887&highlight=such+fucker)

I do empathise with you guys, truly, my personal best of "Sonia used to go to 50p night at our local night club and dance to her own songs" is also lost in the mists of mickstory.

But, fear not the change, because Mick will be rising from the ashes soon, and will be waiting to fall from the stars, straight into your arms. I feel you, I hope you comprehend.

By the way, did I tell you he said Awww Bless??? (I bask in Micks warmth).

Looking back I could have played it differently
Could have played things some other way.
Learn about the man before I fell
I was just a little careless
But I was ever so much younger then.
....
Wasn't it good? Oh so good
Wasn't he fine? Oh so fine
Isn't it madness he won't be mine?
Didn't I know how it would go?
If I knew from the start
Why am I falling apart?
Wasn't he fine? Isn't it madness
He won't be mine?
But in the end he needs a little bit more than me
More security
He needs his Fantasy and freedom
I know him so well

don't mean to go off-topic, but i just read that thread for the first time (the one hugo linked to) and now i have a stomache cramp from laughing. that was awesome. especially the "is he catholic"

Truly, it is the funniest post ever on Dogbomb.




such fucker

I think you should be allowed to defend celebs, but only if you can actually give a good reason and not just the typical 13-year-old stuff like "but they're sexy" or the infamous "you're just jealous". It makes things more interesting if there's an actual debate going on about the annoying-ness of the celeb and not just streams of hate posts or streams of love posts.

But it's good that some of the non-entity's will be taken off and that the threads will be wiped clean.

I'll miss defending Lisa Scott Lee. Really I will.
Rotten bastards saying she's got a nick-nack nose! :P

Hate to break it to all the Robbie-haters, but just think of all that hard work in getting him up to 100 pages...gone....just like that...no more...in a puff of smoke they go...

Yes. I stand by all which has been written above me via the mods/admins. This will make the website a far more fun place to read. Maybe not as great a palce to post (I know how frustrating it can be to wait for your post to show up) but once it starts flowing, it will be a GREAT site as opposed to a "good idea, shame about the users" site it was before.

Can you clarify that the "Die of... you old c***" type posts won't be accepted and will be removed please?

Posts of that nature won't even make it past the moderation queue. So you can sleep easier now Manta ;)

W00t! :youwin:

It does mean that if anyone slags off the Royals Manta can't defend them.
Hurrah.

One of the good things about internet forums is the wide range of opinions and the exchange of ideas and arguments,yes the bigotry,pointless posts and unpleasentness did need to go but the World would be a less interesting place if everyone agreed with eachother,as,I fear,will mh.com.

A cause for celebration in the 'pardon?' household one would assume.

Have fun slagging off the Monarchy, DLT and Jim Davidson unopposed from me you little Commie guttersnipes, though I'll still come back and haunt you all from my grave if I die early.

This will only force us to be more inventive, a good thing, surely. :))

I agree, Superandy's defence of the ratty haired fool has been both funny and strangely touching. Still, as someone who has been on the receiving end of ' you must be a trendy lefty who knits their own yoghurt if you don't think we should bring back hanging for burglary' shite I can see the logic.

I will be sad to see the Caff Zeta Jones thread go mind, I've had a great laugh on there. :(

Can you hold Dogbomb off for a bit longer,as I'm starting to get a life back.

Ok ,my notes are filling my room up ,on who to have a go at first.
Robert Kilroy Silk will get it on relaunch day.2 months of biting my tongue.
Hope Patricks ready!!

The word I'm looking for is "fuckwit".

OK,youre taking away our 1000PWTMH thread as we knew it,and making it into something gooder. But our archives?,surely they mean something,surely they arn't the privatised British Railway,the forgotten milk snatcher,the manta royal family,the hovis"when i were a lad up't chimney",forgotten ..buried and dead.
We had something to say ,and we said it .Albeit a load of shite ,and maybe caused 1000 MH to change to keep pace with the modern trials and tribulations.
But history cannot be erased ,and must be put into trust somewhere.
Free the MH archives.

Actually Manta, I'll miss you defending the royals. Even though I think you are just pretending to be a reactionary for a laugh (nobody really thinks Jim Davidson is funny, I'm sure of that) your defence of Prince Edward was a treat. I am, of course, still waiting for you to come up with one useful thing he's done- we ruled out 'being a patron' as it doesn't actually involve any work- but I am sure it was on the tip of your tongue.

I do share your dislike of personal abuse but think the old MATMH did have some good debates between supporters and detractors. Pity the 'yr jus jelos' brigade had to spoil it. Perhaps there could be one day a month people could fly to the posts of people they like and defend them?

Not allowing sensibly put forward defense of celebs will be a blow to the site. There will therefore be no debate which was the backbone of some very good threads. Having all posts moderated before they appear is the solution to make sure you get funny/sensible debate, without interruption from tearfull teens who stumble across the site to shriek out their claims of jealousy.

This implies that once nominated the celeb is automatically MATMH. I don't see how this will work, but I suppose we'll see in in the end.

I assume that those threads that don't get posted on will become 'less annoying' but I am starting to miss the thought of those great posts defending people. Hugh Jorgen on Cheryl Tweedy springs to mind. I nearly fell over laughing at that thread.

The word I'm looking for is "fuckwit".

Caalm down, caalm down. :\

I agree, Superandy's defence of the ratty haired fool has been both funny and strangely touching.
I resent her being called a ratty haired fool.
But I will look forward to the re-opening of mick hucknall and posting (constructive) abuse about Christina Aguilera, Victoria Beckham, Arsene Wenger etc.
It will be hard not defending the likes of Britney Spears, Dear Vanessa, Jade Goody and others.

Andy, ya little feeder, here is NOT the place to defend her. Let it rest for a wee while!

Can I make one suggestion? Rather than wiping the ENTIRE archive, if it's not too much hassle is there any way of keeping the posts where people have described meeting the person concerned and how they came across? They're surely the most relevant to the thread - first hand experience and all that. Otherwise, people are gonna have to write it all out again, and no-one wants that do they?

I never enjoyed discussing the Royals Lizzie. I was always frustrated with the replies from posters, that's without taking into consideration the disgusting comments I had to go through (and you think I was reactionary!) It was a hopeless cause but one I felt compelled to take up.

right, so basically we are not allowed to defend celebs, so there will be no debate about anything?
how boring. pages and pages of he's a bumboy/cunt/she's a slag/ho does get a little dull. so will the less offensive version.
sorry. I'm a bit annoyed....

Wrong. There will be a chat area for the general discussion that went on, I believe. I'm not totally on top of the game with MH but I also believe that there will be posts that would state why someone is possible not as annoying...

What it won't be is, a HE_SAYS, I_SAY, HE_SAYS, I_SAY repeatative slanging match.

There will be a general discussion area, as niV said, which WILL NOT be subject to a moderation queue. It will still be patrolled though.

Some of these details ARE preliminary... and being discussed. They are subject to change. More info will be posted here as we make decisions.

I think this is a brilliant idea, I never posted in huckers becuase it was so full so deleting all the old threads will give those of us who came into the party late a chance to start from scratch without having to read a hundred pages first and it'll also mean that the threads will be a bit more akin to what they were intended to be initially.

What happens to post counts? I can think of a few dogbombers who will take a post count hit if their posts get removed.

90% of my posts are on that forum, I'll be back down to about 70 posts

postcounts are staying up. You should be rewarded for the hard effort you have put in so far.

Can we keep all of nicolaroberts posts, so that a younger generation of dogbombers can read them and think ´ha ha´ and ´why´ just as we old timers have

nope. next?

Are we still entitled to turn it into a libel-fest?

No sir. If there is anything posted which is likely to get me sued to hell... it'll be killed on the spot.

If you make it funny though... it'll get through.

Ooooh, you've been studying your defamation law haven't you?!

Not really... I just get sick of getting legal letters and then calling my lawyer.

No, I meant the "make it funny and it'll get through" line - after all, if said in jest, it can't be libellous.

Ah. Nah... just make it funny anyway.

FUNNY = :youwin:

Not really... I just get sick of getting legal letters and then calling my lawyer.

Really? You really got legal letters? I honestly can't imagine even those most paraniod and litigious sleb (step forward Caff ZJ) bothering. I am stunned.

:x

Yeah, flip me, you call a cunt a cunt and get threatened with legal action. What is the world coming to?

The problem therin lies thus.

The site before was a mess. Moderating 1000 threads was a full time job in itself, and took many many hours. This is mostly due to the large amount of real "nasty" stuff on there and the number of "he said / she said" posts. Therefore, to stop this happening, the way forward is to go fully moderated, thus eliminating the option of "chatting" in-thread.

The double edged sword with moderation is that chat will be impossible in thread, which is why we will be providing the chat forum.

However, your points about being unable to defend a celebrity have been noted, and we will discuss this matter further and get back to you. Will keep you all informed.

Can we keep all of nicolaroberts posts, so that a younger generation of dogbombers can read them and think ´ha ha´ and ´why´ just as we old timers have
Dogbomb said "Nope
"
Hitler,or what

Cappy, dont be a berk. The board has already been emptied, so the posts are gone.

That was a waste of time then,wern't it?

I don't know whether or not this has been mentioned, but Mick Hucknall got voted Britain's greatest minger, on a Sky One show. Does anyone else not really see why?

Cappy, if it did a job at the time, it can't have been a waste of time. Just because something finishes, doesn't make it a waste of time... Was it a waste of time to watch any of the films you watched ? They didn't last forever!

Now, unless you have further comment on how to improve or extend what the current ideas are, then I would suggest biting your lip lest you are given a vacation.

I would still like to know if any sleb has really complained via lawyers re the content of MH. After all, it's only opinion and if I were a sleb I wouldn't lower myself to complain about us - after all, as many have said 'we is jus jelos'

Unfortunately, some of the posts were of libellous content, and definately had to be removed.

funnily enough the only ones who have complained, AFAIK, are really minor celebs with no real nasty allegations about them

Yeah - or the truth. I mean, Jordan IS a big-titted brain-dead minging mattress-back. What the fuck is there to complain about?

Mind you, that stuff about Duncan James wanting to rummage around in little boys' pants was a bit OTT.

I get your point,(jeez i can recite it )
Yes,iv'e watched a shed loads of films that i've wasted my time watching....but,they still remain for posteriety out there.
And incidentally I do have a way to improve/extend the current ideas.Stop the moderaters winding up perfectly innocent posts.

Stop the moderaters winding up perfectly innocent posts.
I think that the new method of moderating that area of the bored would also help that, since the post wouldn't make it if it wasn't up to the cut.

chat will be impossible in thread

Praise BE to The Lord. \m/

A problem might be that some threads won't get off the starting blocks under the new rules.
Take the Pete Townshend thread, for example. The only people who don't like him seem to be people who think he's a kiddie fiddler, which he isn't. So that's libellous, so that doesn't get on. Also, you can't defend him either, so there's the chance that little or nothing gets posted there.

I can see the reasons for the changes, but it is going to make it a very different site.

Well, he is a big-nosed cunt. That's true, so it should get on there.

Nevermind Davey there's always Gary Glitter.

And can we prevent posters like 'pardon?' adding minor members of the Royal Family like Zara Phillips to the list, please? There's no need to have the whole family up there. 'pardon?' deprived posters on the old board from adding genuine annoying celebs with his anti-Monarchy views filling up spaces this way. Let us not forget, when everyone was crying out for a space to add a celeb, 'pardon?' got there first adding Princess Anne.

I was thinking along those lines although my thoughts are more to nominating in general. Usually, there was only room to add maybe one celebrity a week and first person in at midnight on sunday got to nominate AFAIR. Perhaps a queueing system would be possible so those of us who access from work can nominate too? Or maybe a 'big brother' style weekly poll to decide who gets in and who goes out of the lowest scoring/most nominated ?

If we are starting from afresh who's going to put the first 1000 in there?

We do :D Thereafter, the rules appear for removing and creating annoying people thus the numbers will stay at 1000 but less annoying celebs will be removed far more regularly.

Oh,very democratic!

Stop whinging at every little thing, in fact, go whinge somewhere else.

Most of the original celebrities will be returning. There will however be a lot of new vacancies.

Sounds awesome. Cant wait to start!

I can see the 'chat area for general discussion' being one of the most popular part of mh,people like a good discussion,they even like to be disagreed with sometimes.

Nevermind Davey there's always Gary Glitter.

And can we prevent posters like 'pardon?' adding minor members of the Royal Family like Zara Phillips to the list, please?

I'd have had some sympathy with that viewpoint until she popped up recently on Channel 4 (I think) with an hour's TV dedicated to chronicalling her life, interests, hopes, etc. If she wants to keep a low profile do what her mother does and ignore the media. If she wants to whore herself around the TV stations and get the publicity bandwagon rolling then she fully warrants a space on MH.

Oh stop whinging Tory boy. The reason why the royal family is up there in numbers is because they are very annoying and you seem to be about the only person on the planet who can't see that.

There's no need to have the whole family up there.

Quite so. Now if it was a lamppost......

Nah, I think old big nose should be redeemed anyway. Replace him with that twat Brian May.

Or that CUNT Richie Sambora.

Nah, I think old big nose should be redeemed anyway. Replace him with that twat Brian May.

Thank you, Davey. I've nominated that twat about 10 times for mh.com without success. Who vets the nominations? Whoever it is, it's a Queen fan methinks.

Most of the original celebrities will be returning. There will however be a lot of new vacancies.

How will new people be nominated?

I never got te chance to nominate anybody before as it was closed by the time I got there.

If we don't get Linsey Dawn McKenzie on there, there'll be trouble.

Oh,very democratic!

Who ever said it was democratic? I think it's more than fair.If I was in charge I would hunt down and kill all the people who wasted my time by constantly using it as a chat room to post their "hilarious" banter despite boringly repetitive requests not to do so.My least favorite nest of twats seemed to reside on the Chris Moyles thread.
"Just posting today to say that Chris Moyles is a cunt...again and put him at the top of the list"
Ho ho fucking ho!Oh how I laughed before having to clean up that shit every day on countless threads.Such imagination and wit.
I very much look forward to a site where people have to think before they post.The disgruntled posters lost due to this new regime will not be missed by me.

Well said Patrick. I think I speak for all the Mick Hucknall moderators when I say, nor me either. Good riddance.

Of course, everyone knows how diplomatic and democratic I am :D

I wasn't there at the original launch of MH.com, but I'm quite looking forward to starting from scratch. It'll give me the chance to recycle some of my old rubbish jokes.

And the chance for them not to appear rather than disappear :D

fair point.

I just needto bitch about Vicky Beckham. I wonder if there has been an increase in crime because dogbombers can't vent their spleen at this irritating people who are always in the bloody media.
Also, I would vote for Brian May, if only for being married to Anita sodding blue mascara eejit Dobson.

Why not really piss MH off by renaming the forum. Just forget the bastard & stop providing him with the free publicity!

I agree. There's no better than a good and dirty unairbrushed debate.

. We want the site to be about annoyingness, not a nasty pile of hate bile and vitriol, as it was becoming.


But I liked the bile and vitriol. It was why I loved Hucknall.

New Hucknall so far doesn't sound as fun as Old Hucknall. Especially the delayed posting. But New Hucknall's not here yet so we'll have to wait an see.

And on the sujbect of waiting

I'll get piles if i sit here waiting much longer :((

Cappy can I borrow some of your pile cream?

Sure, some argument stuff can be fun, but an entire website filled with nothing but it to moderate is not fun. There will still be a chatting area where that kind of thing will be going on, but it'll not be spanning across a thousand threads at it's max.

The one thing about gaining popularity is that along the way things must be done to maintain some degree of control whilst not losing site of what makes it popular. Then comes the issue that people have their own ideas of what MickHucknall.com is all about, and the one person who knows what it is supposed to be is Dogbomb himself. :)

Yes I can understand that moderating Hucknall must have been hard work, and that sucks. It's fantastically awesome watching people mudwrestle but cleaning up the mud after...meh...not so much.

I did get the part about the chatting area but that's going to be about everything and everyone at the same time, right. If it is it's hard to see the flow of a discussion on a particular celeb.

I have no doubt Dogbomb knows what he wants his site to be. And hence the moderation in an attempt to mould it into the image of that vision.

If given the honour to participate, I'll try to feel my way round New Hucknall. But at this point I'm not sure what is going to be the firm definition of annoyance vs non-annoyance and how by looking at a thread one can judge what level of annoyance a celeb is really at if only annoyance passes posting regimens but the posts in defence of non-annoyance which would counter the annoyance posts do not.

It's just a bit confusing at the moment, but we haven't started yet. Once it's up and running it will be clearer maybe?

You will not doubt have the honour and priviledge of being able to join in, and when it comes to the rules of the site, they are never static and unchanging. When there is a need to adapt, we do adapt. I believe that there will be people who dislike the new vs the old. Change is always something that takes a while to settle into. I'm sure you'll love it for it's difference rather than trying to compare old with new eventually :)

Hopefully without the disapointment of it being a load of shite (Im sure it wont be).

Something's just occurred to me. Is there any way of letting us back on gradually ie opening up threads as they are cleaned? The only reason I say this is that it's gonna go into fucking meltdown on the day it reopens, what with us lot bottling up our rage for so long. If it reopens all at once it'll be like the start of a marathon. Someone is bound to get hurt.

How's about giving us ten or twenty threads a week to practice on, then we won't all go rage-crazy on D-Day.

Yes, I agree. I find myself pointing mutely at 'Heat' etc, where another ghastly picture of that mutt common spice is blaring into my eyeballs, looking like the looney in the supermarket queue, willing myself not to say 'look at that vile harpy- is she what we want for our daughters to look at' and being carted away by the men in white coats. No MH can only be borne if that evil bag of bones is put under house arrest. Please- just her thread (and maybe Caff Z Jones) is all I need to keep me sane.

The sane world needs a forum to hate The Jobster et al

Great avatar Heeksy. I always knew Bart was a Hammer.

Thanks pardon?

Off to Leicester on Saturday

Fingers crossed

When I was googling my user name a minute ago (another thread another story),I noticed a link to the "is steve coogan more annoying...." thread so I clicked on it and noticed all our posts were still there,unlike most of the others. I thought they`d all been deleted,but it was in an added catagory called "less annoying".So a little piece of the old mh.com still survives for the time being.

LOL,just noticed can access that thread on the main page,TWAT! :))

I'm pleased the site is still down. Dogbomb is much better off without it.

What do you care Manta, if you're not allowed to defend people you're not likely to be visiting the site much anyway.

I'll probably still read it occasionally, Davey. Just to know what you horrible lot are saying about my favourite celebrities.

Tried to print it ,but got a bit putt off when my epson C42ux* plus *~(oh yeah),came up with the line "printing 42,543 pages".
I realised that dead dogs need to lie
