    See I have learned to let that one slide. I always correct it and people get mad. So I just said whatever :p

    Another one for the OCD thingy. I never actually think my forum is complete or finished, or good enough for that matter. So I am always doing something to it. Like my desk. I am always cleaning it. :doh:

    I am always looking to add new things to my site. Random changes, new modifications, new events, etc. I can't ever let it continue on a straight path; I've gotta throw in some loops, curves and hurdles. :p

    I have and OCD about members telling a story but then saying they'll finish it later because they have to be somewhere else, and then never finishing the story. I hate cliffhangers. :(

    I never would have thought of that, but yes, I agree completely.

    Pet peeve--bad grammer especially people that do this

    why am i typing this ridiculously long sentence that has no full stops commas or anything to say take a breath its needed or you will hyperventilate then they change the subject completely but still no comma full stop etc etc it drives me mad and if i see it on any forum i will not read the post as im typing this i find it very difficult to not put in the necessaries so why do some people do it ahh and i just put a full stop at the end but have removed it for the desired effect if someone does it on my forum i edit it


    OCD-nothing really springs to mind but I do love statistics, google analytics is like pages of heaven:love:

    Yep, I've used Woopra. Feel free to create a thread just for it (perhaps WebmasterAddict is the best section) and I'll be glad to discuss it in-depth. :)

    I'm an ass for saying this, but you would drive Helen Keller mad.

    I also highly dislike them and am pruning them every 2/3 month

    Also another problem, I habitually prune their accounts every 24/48 hours.

    I hate how some members just look at the index page. I don't know what they expect to see them, especially when they don't do anything but look at it.

    0 posters bug me as well, as do members who join, post really actively for a few days then are never seen again. Where do they even go off to?
