unwatchable > An Idea for the Show?

Just thought of this, I know how Nick wanted a Digg kind of website, well why not have a thing where we can submit links to news stories (a bit like the submit links thing on the old site) and then the best ones get picked out in the show. That way you would not be run down with bad stories each week, even though it does mean more banter which I now quite like.

Also, Nicky and Nick could have a blog which you could update each day telling us what you have been doing with technology each day, more so in Nicky's case.

Just an idea.

Your post made me actually scream.


Not a good idea!

August 2, 2009 | Registered CommenterTom

Sod off Jamie
You are really killing the new site. Just as you did on the old site with all your crap posting. No one really gives a s"#€" about your stupid ideas and meaningless spam.

August 2, 2009 | Registered CommenterBAN Jamie

Jamie, Seriously,

Your posts do not add anything to this community.
You may think they do, but you are wrong.
Please do not post comments that could be seen as negative
Please do not post comments that involve Nick and Nicky spending more time behind a computer
Please do not post a comment replying to this one sounding all clever and self righteous

Do you know what,
Please do not post

Many thanks

You know something, I am not going to stand for this abuse and if it does carry on I will report it to squarespace.

I am free to express an opinion and submit ideas just like everyone else and those people who have deliberately signed up with a username aimed to insult me then I think you are just pretty sad and should spend more time doing something more constructive. This is a public site.

August 2, 2009 | Registered CommenterJamie

Oh please do report it to Squarespace Jamie. I'm sure they could need a good laugh.
A public site does in no way mean that you can flood it with all your useless spam. Anyways, it's not public in terms of "Hi I'm stupid Jamie, I post junk all the time to ruin ITIdiots forum".
Actually, I should report you for spamming instead. ROFL.

August 2, 2009 | Registered CommenterBAN Jamie

Have I spammed this site yet?

Also, I am not trying to ruin this one. I said before that this is a fresh start, I have moved on and I think you should too.

Would you rather I constantly say "Do more video episodes?" all the time and nit pick out the tiniest insults out of unwatchable? You choose.

August 2, 2009 | Registered CommenterJamie

You are not only spamming this site, you spam Nick & Nickys mailboxes, you spam them on twitter etc.
Sod off and don't post anything on itidiots.com. Go to idiot.com instead.

August 2, 2009 | Registered CommenterBAN Jamie

Excuse me, I have sent 4 e-mails to both Nick & Nicky at the same time, 3 about the forums being down, 1 with a suggestion for a new site. After getting no response I have given up "Spamming" them. As for Twitter, I have tweeted twice to Nicky and Once to Nick. As for the other times on Twitter, they were personal tweets not intended for anyone. As for "spamming" this site, I have not spammed it once so far.

Don't call me an idiot because I actually know the definition of spamming. You obviously don't and as you are constantly accusing me of "spamming" you in fact are spamming the site with repeating this. Now instead of telling me to "Sod off" why don't you just Sod off back to la la land where you belong.

August 2, 2009 | Registered CommenterJamie

You just can't help yourself, can you?

August 2, 2009 | Registered CommenterBAN Jamie

Jamie: "they were personal tweets not intended for anyone"

I'm sorry Jamie, but you really don't get how Twitter works do you? :P

August 2, 2009 | Registered CommenterTom

Who are you really? Because I am not sad enough to come up with a cover name just to insult someone.

Get a life, stop accusing my every move to do with itidiots. I have moved on with this new forum, all the things I did (twitter, e-mail, complaining about the show, pestering about doing video shows) were before this new site. Now the new site is here, I have moved on now, a fresh start. The only post I have made so far (since the forums have been erased) was the one with an idea for the website/show. How is that spam? I have explained my self (before the forums being erased), apologized for my past and people will not understand that I have changed. Instead they just put me down and make me more and more annoyed and distressed. A close family member has died just days ago, his funeral is on wednesday. Richard Hammond being stuck at the top of a scissor lift on top gear didn't even cheer me up and as I am writing this, I have just missed the end (thank-you so much). My girlfriend is close to ditching me and I am stuck without a job and passport because of a problem with my entry visa for getting into Saudi Arabia.

I have one wish right now and that is that my life gets better and that people stop putting me down like this.

Those of you who don't like me, think twice next time before you say anything like this again. You don't know what the person has been through.

August 2, 2009 | Registered CommenterJamie

Hi Jamie,

I am sorry for your loss.

I don't want this post to come across negatively. I do believe your enthusiasm for this community is commendable, but I think it is misplaced. The ideas you have, would indeed change the show, but in my opinion, not for the good. What ITidiots is, is Nick and Nicky. It has only become a success due to them and the way they do things. Why would we want to change that?
My view is simply that I love what is created here, and I am truly thankful to both of them (and I showed this thanks with a small donation (see link below :P - you can do it too...)). Currently I feel that the show is happening regularly and is a good length, so I'm not sure why any "Idea[s] for the Show" are needed?

Personally I am happy to contribute to this community by helping when people ask for it in the forums, but only if I think my response is going to help. Obviously if Nick or Nicky requested help then I would be happy to offer however I could, but it seems like everything is working OK...


Tom

P.S. The ending to Top Gear wasn't that good. And Hammond never got down :P

August 2, 2009 | Registered CommenterTom

I agree tom, I like the show how it is, in fact I'm listening to it now.

I am out of work and not being payed at the moment, so no donation just yet...

I just thought that I would throw ideas out there. For the record, I am not getting at people like yourself tom, I am getting at the people making me feel even more down that I am annoyed at.

Also, Richard Hammond being stuck at the top of a lift is possibly the first useful thing he has ever done.

August 2, 2009 | Registered CommenterJamie

I was just about to sit down and watch the recording I did of Top Gear, have you people no shame? Not only do you spend your time kicking Jamie in the nuts,but you have spoiled the ending of my my favorite show.
I have waited a whole week of my life to catch up with three guys that I would be happy to call friends, and for what? nothing....
I hope that when you pass, that you will spend eternity roasting in the fires of hell.


August 2, 2009 | Registered Commenterclint green

iPlayer? You have to see it really, I don't think we spoilt the ending too much. Also I would like to know who that "Not Jamie" person was.

August 3, 2009 | Registered CommenterJamie

Jamie,

I am still here. You have insulted me in the past on the previous site so I will leave it up to you to guess who I am.

Anyway, if you can just come up with constructive comments and really put the past behind you then I am sure that you will be forgiven. Just think before you post - imagine if you were running this site and how your comments/posts would be taken by yourself.

I'm sure the guys have enough on there plates without having to blog every day. If they did and missed one day then we would hear no end of comments from you about it, just like when a show doesn't come out on time. Mind you, there is no such thing as 'on time' here. This is a hobby for them, it is not as if this is their full time job that they are being paid for.

Just relax a little and everything should be fine.

Not Jamie.

August 3, 2009 | Registered CommenterNot Jamie

I put the past behind me 24 hours ago mate and I think you do too. Now I don't have a good memory, so please tell me who you really are and if you have a life. I know that this is a hobby for them, I was just merely suggesting ideas for discussion and to see what other people had to say. Not to get a mouthful of abuse back. Now if the old site was up and running I would be able to check to see who you are but as it stands I'm gonna guess so forgive me if I'm wrong but are you Richard Arblaster? (if that's how you spell it)

August 3, 2009 | Registered CommenterJamie

I didn't just give you a mouthful of abuse, just some suggestions on how to conduct yourself on the site if you don't want any more abuse from others. It is entirely up to you if you want to take this advice or not. At one point you were banned from the site - don't let this happen again as some of your posts are quite amusing and show your naivety. You know (or should) which posts they were!

Why do you want to know who I am? Is your real name Jamie Winlava?

August 3, 2009 | Registered CommenterNot Jamie

In answer to your questions:

1- think back 48 hours ago, you were telling me to basically p**s off and find another site without giving me chance to change.

2- I prefer to call people by their real name, it feals wierd saying "not jamie"

3- Jamie Winlava is not my real name, it is James Martin Winlava

now you are not helping me or giving me advice, you are just being abusive, I've put my "abusiveness" in the past on the old site, and I don't want to make an execption just for you.

Get this clear: I am not going to "spam" this site, I am not going to "insult, harass or annoy" nick or nicky. so grow up and stop making me even more annoyed

August 3, 2009 | Registered CommenterJamie

Jamie,

Enough is enough. I wasn't being abusive and if you think I was then it is time for you to grow up and stop acting like a spoiled little brat. God bless your parents for dragging up such a prat.

I gave you the benefit of the doubt to start with but now you really should just piss off. The sooner they ban you from this site again the better. Mind you, if they did that then that would take half the fun out of it!

As for point 3 above, why object to me not using my real name when you don't?

OH IT'S SOOOO EASY TO WIND YOU UP - take that key out of your back dear boy! (I call you BOY because you don't act like a MAN).

Not Jamie.

August 3, 2009 | Registered CommenterNot Jamie

Ok, I've said it in the two other posts, I'm going to put an end to this right now. I'm the one that has changed, grown up ect. You keep posting these comments deliberately to turn people against me like on the old forums. I have been good up to now (since being unblocked) and I will continue to be. You on the other hand will quite possibly be banned seeming as you are constantly posting against me. When someone just throws a topic out there for discussion I do not expect to hear

"Sod off Jamie
You are really killing the new site. Just as you did on the old site with all your crap posting. No one really gives a s"#€" about your stupid ideas and meaningless spam."

"Sod off and don't post anything on itidiots.com. Go to idiot.com instead."

Explain this as being helpful and trying to point me in the right direction. When I read this, it makes me feel sorry for whoever wrote it as the clearly have nothing better to do than sit behind a computer thinking up abuse just because they don't like me and they believe that I have changed since the new site. People change, you've got to accept that now lets move on and stop all this petty squabbling

August 4, 2009 | Registered CommenterJamie

I think it's great that Nicky set up a whole web site for Jamie.

At the risk of there being a topic, here - you might just as well use delidious, like the Americans, if you want to tag things for the show.

Speaking of the Americans - there's an 'accepted' wisdom that Nick & Nicky seem willing to challenge (like the usefulness of Twitter) - do more of that!

Other myths that could be exploded:
- social networking (seriously? isn't it just tricking people into advertising for you??)
- Open (anything) is better than closed, like the land of the free ever got them more than one iPhone carrier, have you seen their phone system?
- Twitter, who needs it?
- how many media players do I need? as if I want a media player for every network/distributor/record company, iTunes isn't great, but at least it's all in one place
- isn't the price of Google too high? Your privacy is all you have to trade in a Web 2.0 world. What price do you put on it? Google can make billions out of you, what's your cut?
- do we need Web 2.0 and the cloud? Aren't desktop apps better to use?
- facebook? really? it's just for people to keep in contact with their family & friends - kick out the social network marketers?? or is facebook more evil than that? (telling your friends what you've bought on line)

No need to make it an anti-American thing. They're nice guys, but they're not the only world view. Great show, keep the apathy at a high level - alert, but not alarmed.

Cheers from Australia

Twitter I used for a short time, I did start to use Freewebs (webs.com) for my website, but I thought I lacked in content and it isn't as good as 3 years ago when I first used it.

Facebook, not a huge fan on. It is always in the news about "someone said ditch 15 friends and get a burger" or something along those lines.

iTunes personally, I just use for my iPod (which is the only apple hardware product I think is great) and then for podcasts. For music I use Windows Media Player (which I quite like as a media player) and if I have my laptop connected up to my TV (via HDMI) then I use Windows Media Centre which I guess is a bit like Front Row on a Mac Mini.
